Chef Anne Burrell is back for a seventh season of trying to turn some of America's worst cooks into kitchen stars. This time, however, the recruits are seven celebrities who can showcase their talents on TV and in movies, but not no so much in the kitchen. Burrell competes against Worst Cooks in America newcomer Rachael Ray to see which chef can lead one contestant to make the most impressive culinary transformation. Actors Dean Cain, Ellen Cleghorne, Jaleel White and Barry Williams join reality stars Jenni "JWoww" Farley, Chris Soules and Kendra Wilkinson in boot camp. The winning star gets $50,000 for charity and bragging rights for his or her mentor. Not all of the celebrities will make the cut, however; after an opening potluck dinner each mentor selects three recruits to be on her team, leaving one celebrity to be sent home before the competition really begins. Burrell is looking to extend her record to 5-2, while Ray looks to get the win in her first season.
Next Episode is 'Celebrity:' (Season 28 Episode 1) and airs on 05 Jan 2025 19:00 (CDT).
S27E6 - Spoiled Rotten: Bake It Till You Make It
It's a party at bootcamp, but the recruits won't be celebrating -- they'll be cooking! Anne Burrell and Tiffany Derry challenge the recruits to throw a fabulous soiree, and the teams must create three appetizers, a signature cocktail and decorate their space to impress the VIP chefs. For the main dish challenge, nothing screams celebration like cake, so the chefs have their recruits bake and decorate their own layer cakes. The best recruits will have their cake and eat it too, but the worst ones will be heading home with no dessert.

S27E7 - Spoiled Rotten: Fight for the Finale
Only two recruits can move on to the finale, so the final four play Meal of Fortune, where they spin the wheel and answer trivia questions or perform culinary tasks in order to collect more chef bucks! Then, the teams use their chef bucks to purchase a basket of ingredients for the last skill drill cook. It's a head-to-head battle between the final four recruits as they each cook a composed dish to earn a spot in the final cook. Anne Burrell and Tiffany Derry work closely with their final recruits practicing their three-course, restaurant quality meal, but a surprise special guest pops in and reveals a twist. In the end, judges Matt Abdoo, Andrienne Cheatham and Michael Jenkins taste the recruits' dishes in a blind taste test to determine the winner of the $25,000 prize.

S28E1 - Celebrity:
In the two-hour premiere episode, Jeff and Antonia begin their mission to transform infamous reality tv stars - some fan favorites and others notorious troublemakers - from cooking disasters to competent cooks. First, they need to assess the culinary carnage with a baseline challenge where the recruits whip up their go-to dinner party dish. After less than stellar results, guest Carson Kressley gives Jeff and Antonia their own challenge to determine who will lead Team Hero and who will lead Team Villain. Then in the main dish challenge, it's sink or swim as the recruits filet a whole fish and replicate an elegant seafood dish. Who will rise to conquer the kitchen, and who will fall into culinary chaos? Upcoming episodes feature a Reality Roast face-off inspired by iconic reality tv shows, an All-American breakfast challenge and the intergalactic food scavenger hunt May the Course Be with You.
