Anthony loves to indulge in "delicates," — his word for sweets,— but he hasn't made any in over 20 years! He wants to take some of the baking responsibilities off his wife's plate, so Anthony's entering Boot Camp to start learning from scratch.

David Rosenberg
Another Worst Cooks alum from Season 6, David is back to try his hand at the final culinary frontier: baking.

A small-town farm boy from North Dakota, Jesse made the move to the big city, and now he's taking on a whole new challenge: learning to bake. Jesse knows the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, and he hopes he can learn some skills in Boot Camp that will help him land his soulmate.

Kimberly Worthy
Coming from a family of talented bakers hasn't helped Kimberly much in the kitchen. While she may not have any skills in the kitchen, Kimberly is quick to judge everyone else. In addition to her know-it-all attitude, Kimberly has a fear of eggs that won't make baking in Boot Camp any easier.
Lizzy Lu
To Korean-born Lizzy, there is nothing more American than a warm, homemade apple pie. Unfortunately she's also terrified of baking and turns into a stressed-out mess whenever she attempts it.
