The challenges on Worst Cooks In America: Viral Sensations 2023

Chef Anne Burrell and Darnell Ferguson will pick their teams after a kickoff competition. In this competition, the celebrities have to cook their best meal to show off their skills in the cooking business. Following this, they will learn how to cook the main dish i.e. a chicken, but under the brick.

This journey is not going to be easy for these celebs, because after the first challenge they will be divided into two teams. Teams would battle every week to stay in the competition and save themselves from getting eliminated.

At Worst Cooks In America, the contestants will be transported to ancient Greece and will be cooking souvlaki and grilled octopus. Their culinary talents will be tested through various challenges, including one inspired by the popular show Survivor.

Other challenges include Ice Bucket Trivia, Cake or Fake, and more, as well as season 23 finalists, drag artist Peachez Iman-Cummings (winner) and Marti Cummings (runner-up) will make a comeback on the show.
