DK Metcalf, on the other hand, looks to be focused on winning the prize at hand.
"I hear everybody else talking. They’re not locked in, but I am," Metcalf says in the teaser.
The Great American Bake Off: Celebrity Big Game episode will consist of three rounds of competition that the guests will take part in. Hosts Casey Wilson and Zach Cherry will be back bringing humor, entertainment, and their football puns as they guide the celebrities through the show.
The three rounds of the competition will consist of; a signature bake - where the guests are given a general theme or type of bake where they are free to choose their own recipes and flavors which allow them to showcase their unique talents.
A blind technical challenge - where all the bakers are given the same task, but with minimal instructions, and key ingredients removed which pushes them to use their baking knowledge and experience to complete the task.
And the showstopper surprise - typically the final challenge of the game show, where the guests are asked to create something ambitious and visually spectacular. This round is about showcasing their creativity and artistry in the bake.
Fans of The Great American Bake Off, can catch the Celebrity Big Game special streaming free on The Roku Channel on February 3, 2025, just days before the Super Bowl 59 takes place in New Orleans.
