In "The Worst Lotus," the celebrity teams compete in a fast-paced relay race set in a mock luxury resort, working to assemble poolside platters. After a grueling round, the recruits take on a seafood staple: crab cakes. For the main dish challenge, chefs Jeff Mauro and Tiffany Derry push their teams to tackle a complex seafood curry. Those who excel advance, while the two lowest performers enter a tense blind elimination cook-off, where they must prepare seared fish accompanied by a tropical sauce.
