Chopped

- Season 33

(2017)

A setback leaves one chef unsure whether her sausage and okra appetizer will come together; savory pie and a fresh Italian cheese meet on the chefs' entrée plates; peppers and pears pair up for the dessert round.

In the first competition of a five-part tournament featuring celebrities, web stars including Josh Elkin, Justine Ezarik, Hilah Johnson and Lazarus Lynch take over the kitchen and seek to dazzle the judges with their blood sausage appetizers.

In the second preliminary competition, four star athletes --- Dorothy Hamill, Paige VanZant, LaMarr Woodley and Mariel Zagunis --- battle it out in the kitchen; a weird flavor of soda and a cheesy dish in the first basket.

Illeana Douglas, Ron Funches, Jonathan Sadowski and Julie White engage in a rowdy display of cooking improv in the third competition of the Star Power tournament; a South American flatbread and a beautiful seafood; marshmallows in the entrée basket.

Actors Rick Fox, Jodi Lyn O'Keefe, Alysia Reiner and Alan Thicke compete; bass and ice pops for the appetizer; a pantry ingredient in round two; cold treats in the dessert round.

Four celebrity champions compete to win $50,000 for their favorite charity; a breakfast pasty and bland fruit for round one; an altered pineapple for the second round; a tower of cookies and a tropical fruit for the dessert round.

Four newlywed couples face a playfully-named toast and some sexy shellfish in the appetizer round; chefs tackle a legume that's time-consuming to deal with and a pork cut that's challenging to cook.

The chefs must embrace imperfections as they work with ugly ingredients; they find often-discarded seafood and misshapen veggies in the baskets; a strange fish presents a fierce challenge; the chefs work with an overly-baked item.
