Pasta Prima-Yucca

"I don't think I'm a terrible cook," Catherine said after dropping a sweet potato in the garbage while peeling it. "I just come at cooking from a different perspective." "Catherine, what are you making?" Anne asked. "Pasta primavera," Catherine responded while peeling a yucca. "With root vegetables?" Anne asked suspiciously.

La Toya Learns About Lemons

"Half of that lemon, we're going to give that a squeeze," Tyler instructed La Toya while she was making a dipping sauce. "How do I do that?" she asked. "You're going to squeeze a lemon with your arms and your hands," Tyler replied.

Bronson's Blade Blunder

If there is one thing you can count on in Boot Camp, it's that if Anne sees someone holding a knife wrong, she will mark their finger with her famous red marker. "Nobody gets past Eagle Eye Burrell," she said.

Celebrity Charades

To start off week three of Boot Camp, Anne and Tyler tasked the celebs with playing a series of games to test their kitchen knowledge. First up was a game of charades describing common kitchen gadgets. "I don't know what's going on," Oscar said. "I give up. I'm going to go take a nap."

Sniffing Stars

Next, the celebrities had to identify the flavor profiles for a series of popcorn tubs. "This popcorn reminds me of pain and regret for some reason," Nolan said. Apparently, he isn't a huge fan of wasabi.

Wrapped Up

Oscar was attempting to proof his dough, but he was having a major fight with the saran wrap. "You and that box of saran wrap are in a battle to the death," Tyler said. "I'm having a hard time, but instead of the chefs helping me, they're mocking me," Oscar said as Anne was wrapping Tyler in plastic wrap.

Taste Test

"I hope it tastes good," La Toya said while mixing her meat sauce. Since La Toya doesn't eat red meat, she relied on her teammate, Maria, to taste her sauce for her. "Oh, it's good," Maria said.
