Food Network’s Worst Cooks in America focuses on seven celebrities who don’t know their way around the kitchen in the upcoming seventh season of the cooking series set to debut on September 23, 2015 at 9pm ET/PT. Rachael Ray and Anne Burrell will do their best to help the celebs turn out edible meals over the course of the six-episode special series.

Unafraid to show how hopeless they are when it comes to cooking are Dean Cain, Ellen Cleghorne, Jenni “Jwoww” Farley, Chris Soules, Jaleel White, Kendra Wilkinson, and Barry Williams.

Whoever makes the biggest transformation in the kitchen will win a $50,000 prize for his or her charity.

“With Anne and Rachael as team leaders to a roster of cooking-challenged celebrities, Worst Cooks boot camp is high energy and hilarious,” stated 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.”

The Plot:

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 28 at 9pm ET/PT where the most improved recruit is awarded $50,000 for charity and bragging rights for their mentor.
