Former finalists return to the kitchen for a second shot at stardom!

Finalists shoot 30-second screen tests explaining what they're all about and show them at a VIP event in Hollywood. Then the finalists get a rude surprise when an eliminated contestant from a previous season joins the competition.

Finalists deliver a trendy remote food report for ET hosts Kevin Frazier and Nancy O'Dell. Then, they prepare a special tableside dining experience and get a few curve balls thrown at them by Hannah Hart and Jesse Tyler Ferguson.

The finalists join forces to create a five-course meal composed of nothing but indulgent, over-the-top dishes. Each finalist presents their course, describing its uniqueness to guest judges Alex Guarnaschelli and Trisha Yearwood.

The finalists are each assigned a different holiday theme and take turns hosting their own special parties. Tia Mowry and Donal Skehan are on hand to help Giada De Laurentiis and Bobby Flay get the festivities started.
