Worst Cooks in America

Sixteen of the worst cooks in America, including a sportscaster, a feisty granny and a professional balloon artist, arrive at boot camp with dreams of putting their kitchen nightmares behind them.

Mentors Anne Burrell and Tyler Florence introduce a game in which the recruits meet some magical and mysterious kitchen gadgets.

Boot camp is transformed into a game show, Family Food, and the teams of recruits go head-to-head in trivia rounds and culinary tasks that test their knowledge.

It's game day in boot camp, and the recruits must make varsity-worthy nachos inspired by different flavor profiles.

The recruits learn to create dishes from common leftover ingredients; they play the taste and describe game What's in My Mouth? Leftovers Edition; Anne Burrell and Tyler Florence leave the recruits alone for the first time to make pizza from scratch.

On Valentine's Day, a prancing cupid finds his way into the kitchen and the recruits test their ability to whip cream and create molten chocolate cakes; for the main dish challenge, they must make a swoon-worthy, multi-component dessert.

Each team gets an out-of-order recipe and the recruits must work together to figure out how to unscramble it; for the main dish challenge, the recruits learn the ugly truth of sausage making; the recruits must impress the chefs with a potluck dinner.

The remaining recruits take charge during Remote Control Chef by tasting a dish put in front of them and describing it so Tyler Florence and Anne Burrell can re-create it.

The final four recruits learn the art of showing off; they learn high-flying bartending tricks and make happy-hour cocktails with bar snacks; for the main dish challenge, the recruits must cook a dish and perform a flashy tableside demonstration.
