In episode 2 (August 13), Out of the Frying Pan, John and Gregg recall the celebrity contestants’ first experience of a professional kitchen.

Episode 3 (August 20), Odd Couples, reflects on some of the most entertaining team challenges. Over the years all sorts of personalities have been teamed up together.
