Ghost Town
Three chefs arrive in an old west ghost town in Landers, Calif., where the competitors must gather rattlesnake meat in a burlap sack but have to make it past five hissing snakes to get there.

With twist after twist, the competitors must cook up a meal for twelve hungry cowboys and are handcuffed for the last ten minutes of cooking time. In the ultimate showdown, the two remaining chefs cut open hay bales to find their ingredients and cook up the perfect single bite using only miners' tools and hot coal.

Rock the Block
It is not an average day in a Newhall, Calif. neighborhood when three chefs join to battle for the title Extreme Chef. In the first challenge, the competitors must rummage through a garage to find a hidden wagon, stroller and grocery cart, and then wheel it to the back of a pickup truck to grab unmarked canned goods and prepare a meal in 30 minutes. Next, the chefs must knock on a residents' door, gather cooking materials from their pantry and race back to the streets, but not without a few extreme twists. Competitors must cook a hot appetizer on the block of a car engine all the while managing their meal in a torrential downpour. To top off the meal, the three chefs make a fruit side dish in only 30 minutes. After one elimination, the two remaining chefs must dive to the bottom of a 10-foot pool, grab a spoon and then get the remaining ingredients from a brown bag lunch from neighborhood children. Who will prepare the perfect spoonful to impress the judges and garner the title Extreme Chef?
