After six weeks of Worst Cooks Boot Camp, 12 competitors have fallen in the face of demanding Skill Drills and Main Dish Challenges, and now only two top recruits remain. On Sunday night, the Blue Team’s Alina Bolshakova and the Red Team’s Rasheeda Brown will go head-to-head in the ultimate culinary showdown, where just three dishes and a panel of restaurant-chef judges stand between them and $25,000.
Although Chefs Bobby and Anne are rooting for their respective teams to take the win because of what a victory would mean to their recruits, they’re also hoping their lead contestant bests her competitor on account of the bragging rights they want to have over each other. No stranger to Worst Cooks glory, Chef Anne currently has an undefeated Boot Camp record and is hoping to keep it that way come Sunday night, while Chef Bobby is looking to upset her winning streak with a first-ever Blue Team triumph.

For the first time in Worst Cooks in America Boot Camp, the chefs and recruits will be swapping roles in the kitchen this Sunday. Anne and Bobby will take their contestants’ places for a challenge that has them cooking against the clock, but of course the recruits are the ones who are in for the true test of the Skill Drill. With their mentors out of sight, they must communicate with the chefs via headset as they work in teams to describe the visual and flavor profiles of a dish only they can see and taste. While it’s the hope that the competitors’ abilities to discern cooking techniques and ingredients are strong enough for their mentors to re-create the dish successfully, the contestants were learning new practices just one week ago, so some of their directions may indeed get lost in translation.
In the sneak-peek shot from Sunday’s brand-new episode, Chef Anne is prepping ingredients as she’s being fed culinary intelligence from Rasheeda and Sue. It’s up to her to trust in what they’re saying about the dish and attempt to prepare the same meal with only her team’s descriptions in mind. How do you think Chefs Anne and Bobby will react to taking requests from their recruits? Are the contestants able to work effectively as teams, or will this challenge backfire on the chefs? Which team, the Red or Blue, will ultimately score a win just one week before the finale?

On this season of
Worst Cooks in America, there were two competitions taking place: the one all of the recruits faced as they tried to become the best of the worst in the kitchen, and another that was
Carla‘s alone, the one to win Chef
Bobby Flay‘s love once and for all.
Week after week, fans watched as Carla strutted her stuff for Bobby, adding heart-shaped honey designs to her plate, making gelato and a burger with some of Bobby’s favorite flavors, and unabashedly flirting with him, all to prove to her Blue Team mentor that she’s the only girl for him. Surely not shy about her feelings, she was shameless in her romantic attempts, and even though he’s married, Bobby couldn’t help but offer her a few friendly hugs in return.
“The secret that I’m going to use is that I’m in love with Bobby Flay,” she said confidently during the premiere episode of her plan to dominate the challenges. Although her strategy may have been successful for five weeks of Boot Camp, it was ultimately too good to be true, and on Sunday, she was asked to turn in her apron. After learning that she’d be leaving the competition — and her culinary crush — only two weeks before the finale, she was heartbroken, claiming this to be “another breakup,” but she couldn’t leave without telling him, “I still love you, Bobby Flay.”
