In the supersized premiere, Anne and Jeff welcome sixteen fun-loving singles to culinary boot camp – these competitors know they are kitchen disasters and arrive determined to improve their cooking skills to impress their future dates.  Before picking teams, Anne and Jeff kick off the competition by having the recruits make their signature "seal the deal" meal to show off their skills, or lack thereof, in the kitchen.  Then in the main dish challenge, the teams learn to make duck paired with a fruit sauce.  After assessing everyone's skills, Anne and Jeff reveal a unique twist when choosing their teams.
