Food Network's Anne Burrell and Rachael Ray have their work cut out for them with this year's star-studded cast on "Worst Cooks in America: Celebrity Edition." With Jwoww, Kendra Wilkinson, Barry Williams, Chris Soules, Dean Cain, Ellen Cleghorne and Jaleel White all fighting to become the most improved cook of the bunch, it's bound to be an entertaining season.
Burrell, who's been on the winning team for the past four seasons, and Ray won't be giving these celebs any special treatment in Boot Camp. When asked how they feel about Boot Camp, the stars all seemed pretty nervous.
"I'm really excited to be here doing 'Worst Cooks' Boot Camp, but let me just tell you, it is so nerve-racking," reality star Kendra Wilkinson said going into the competition. "You're not in the comfort of your own home, it feels like you're in someone else's home. You have to, like, respect their areas and respect the time. There's a lot of pressure here."
While they definitely were all mostly nervous, some also didn't seem too confident in the kitchen. "I'm so nervous, I'm going to be like the first one gone," former "Jersey Shore" star Jwoww said, while Barry Williams, from "The Brady Bunch," couldn't stop asking questions about things like timing and chopping when you cook. "The most intimidating thing for me with cooking is that I don't know what I'm doing," former "Bachelor" Chris Soules admitted, while Jaleel White, best known as Urkel, seemed to be more on the positive side saying, "As long as they're really teaching, I'm really here to soak it up."
Food Network shared a few behind-the-scenes photos of the stars getting to work in the kitchen. "@Kendra_Wilkinson_Baskett brings sugar, spice and everything nice to #WorstCooks in America: Celebrity Edition," they captioned a photo of Wilkinson looking very nervous but happy to be there. Another photo of White smelling his meal as he preps it reads, "Food matters," while one of Cain cutting some broccoli reads, "You may know him as Superman, but in the kitchen, he fails to take off."
The stars themselves have also taken to Instagram to share some fun behind-the-scenes photos. "And today at work, we will be making deep dish pizza. Who knew?" White captioned a photo of him and Jwoww all dressed up. Soules also put up a picture with Jwoww as they relaxed after a long day of cooking. "@jwoww and I unwinding after a hard day of cooking," he wrote. Jwoww seemed to need some serious unwinding as one of her fan pages posted a photo of her drinking wine straight from the bottle in the Food Network kitchen.
Even Wilkinson shared some of what she learned on Instagram by taking a video of the dinner she made for her son Hank. "Well...I'm innovative, right? Haha! #WorstCooks," she captioned the video of some sort of dinosaur chicken nuggets and rice and beans concoction.
Burrell also posted a few photos of herself and her good friend Rachael Ray as they get excited to co-host the new season together. "Just amazing and magical...my dear friend @rachaelray," she captioned one photo of the two. "I am so thrilled to be here with you!!! Just thank you sooooo much!! #luckygirl #greatfriends." She then shared another of the two on set writing, "Getting ready for the new season of 'Worst Cooks Celebrity Edition' with my great friend @rachaelray."
