Von Der Pool made a television appearance on the Food Network TV Show Chopped (Season 18 Episode 4, "Waste Not"). According to The Food Network, she repeatedly rolled her eyes and called out contestant Sarah Pouzar. When the judges made negative comments about her plating, she justified her choices by saying that she had strategically plated her food for the ultimate enjoyment and convenience of the eater. Unfortunately this did not change the judges' viewpoints. After being chopped in the second round, Von Der Pool said about her competitor - "Her s*** was soggy!" She ended her outburst, stating things like, "How the hell did I get chopped?" and "You will see me again, all over your television screens". Von Der Pool appeared on a Redemption episode of Chopped (Season 19 Episode 2) but was eliminated after the first round, when she served professional chefs raw red onions and cucumber skins. Again she had an outburst saying, "I'm embarrassed! I'm so embarrassed!"
