The recruits arrive to find boot camp transformed into an airport, and chefs Anne Burrell and Michael Symon welcome them to "Worst Cooks Air" to set off on an exploration of international flavors. First is a flavor-pairing game followed by a skill drill challenge where recruits go head-to-head with the opposing team making international appetizers. For the main dish challenge, the teams touch down in Spain and make meat and seafood paellas. The blind elimination challenge has the bottom recruits making tapas, and the recruit with the worst dish is sent packing.
