* In the fourth episode of Season 23, Cheyenne badly burns her hand, thus struggles severely with completing the main dish challenge, and is supposed to be eliminated... But Melody is so sympathetic to her that she willingly forfeits the competition (for a $25,000 grand prize and multiple potential smaller prizes along the way) solely so that Cheyenne can stay instead. Everyone is surprised by Melody's incredible selflessness, especially Cheyenne herself.

Despite being a show about people who are, quite literally, the worst cooks in the country, there are actually plenty of heartwarming moments. For example --
* Some of the most common reasons that contestants have said why they were competing is to be able to cook for their friends and families--Kendra Wilkins and Jenni Farley (aka, "[=JWoww=]") from Season 7 explained that they both wanted to be able to cook for their spouses and children (and, to a certain extent in Kendra's case, impress her in-laws) and not have to constantly feed them takeout or processed foods, especially since Jenni's daughter (who was around a year old at the time) was starting to eat "real adult food."
* Also, one of the final challenges (when both teams are down to two people) is for the contestants to cook for a family member or close friend of theirs. The contestants' joyous surprise at seeing their loved ones arriving on the set could only be this.
** Season 3 -- Recruit David's wife and Recruit Vinnie's oldest son came on to the show. David and his wife were so happy to see each other that they literally jumped into each other's arms.
** Season 4 -- Recruit Sue's son came on to the show--he had previously recoiled at his mom's cooking. However, the meal she had made was tagliatelle with burst grape tomatoes and bacon--her son enjoyed it so much that he could barely get his face out of the plate long enough to talk to Chef Anne about the food. Sue was practically in tears from watching him.
