Celebs Brave Culinary Chaos in New Worst Cooks

The culinary competition series "Worst Cooks in America" is set to premiere its 30th season on January 4th, bringing a fresh wave of celebrity contestants needing significant kitchen training. This installment will feature a diverse cast of well-known personalities from various reality shows and sports, including Lisa Barlow, Val Chmerkovskiy, and Ryan Lochte.

Chefs Jeff Mauro and Tiffany Derry have taken on the challenge of transforming these celebrity recruits into competent cooks. They will divide the contestants into teams and guide them through a series of themed culinary challenges designed to test their skills and resilience. The ultimate goal is to see who can overcome their kitchen deficiencies.

The season will kick off with a baseline challenge and progress through increasingly difficult tasks, culminating in a finale on February 1st. The final challenge will require contestants to prepare a three-course meal for guest judges, with the winner receiving $25,000 for their chosen charity and bragging rights for their mentor.
