NEW YORK, Aug. 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Worst Cooks
in America returns with a starry twist this fall, as
Rachael Ray joins four-time
winner Anne Burrell in the
kitchen to transform seven celebrity cooking disasters into
culinary VIPs. Anne and Rachael each lead a team of personalities
who have many talents on-screen, but little savvy in the kitchen –
and these food masters are determined to whip the celebs into
culinary shape. The all-star recruits are: Dean Cain, Ellen
Cleghorne, Jenni "Jwoww" Farley, Chris Soules, Jaleel
White, Kendra Wilkinson
and Barry Williams. The
contestant who makes the most impressive food transformation wins a
$50,000 grand prize for charity, as
well as bragging rights for their team leader. The celebrity
edition of Worst Cooks in America premieres Wednesday, September 23rd at
9pm ET/PT.

"With Anne and Rachael as team leaders to a roster of
cooking-challenged celebrities, Worst Cooks boot camp is
high energy and hilarious," said Bob
Tuschman, General Manager and Senior Vice President, Food
Network. "The kitchen is bursting with big personalities and
comical culinary mishaps – but along the way some of these celebs
actually develop impressive cooking chops."
In the season premiere, Rachael joins Anne for the first time in
boot camp and they are introduced to their recruits – celebrities
who can't cook. They have a limited amount of time to turn these
seven pampered personalities into kitchen stars, so they
assess everyone's skill level at the first-ever Worst Cooks
potluck and find themselves tasting some very interesting dishes.
After Anne and Rachael pick teams, one celebrity does not make the
cut and is sent back to Tinseltown. Upcoming episodes feature
suspenseful blindfold dish tastings, a rousing game of Family
Food and small-dish tapas-style entertaining. The season
culminates in a finale on Wednesday, October
28th at 9pm ET/PT
where the most improved recruit is awarded $50,000 for charity and bragging rights for their
mentor.
