Catfished

Boot Camp started out with a bang this season with some of the most ambitious recruits ever. "A whole fish?" Bobby asked with a worrisome tone as Idriss carried a whole catfish to his station.

Pray for Sebastian

Adrian made an equally ambitious choice, grabbing a live lobster for the baseline challenge. Luckily for the lobster, Father Adam said a short prayer before Adrian dunked him into a pot of boiling water.

Fruity Florentine

Opera singer Jonathan attempted to make Chicken Florentine and a fruit tart. "Have I had these things at restaurants? You bet," he exclaimed. "Have I made them? Absolutely not."

Chinese Catastrophe

College student Sadie tried her hand at making Chinese food. "It'll be, like, lo mien noodles, meatballs and orange chicken," she explained to Anne. "Then I'm gonna make a rice, a vegetable. We'll see how it goes."

Pleased With Pretzels

When Gina was having some difficulty rolling out her pretzels, Bobby offered a helping hand. Too bad for Bobby, it wasn't up to Gina's standards. "If you don't like that, redo it," Bobby said. "Are you gonna redo it?" he asked. "Yeah," Gina replied.

Fettuccine Alfredon't

When it came time for Gina to make her own side dish, she decided to make a serving of fettuccine alfredo. "What do you know about fettuccine alfredo/" Bobby asked. "I, uh, order it a lot," Gina replied.

Breaking It Down

Once the head is gone, the recruits are usually able to get back to business, and in this case, get frying!
