Fluke Rebuke
In the appetizer round, a peculiar cereal is the strangest find in the basket. Then, when one of the chefs begins cooking her fluke fillets very late in the round, the judges wonder whether they will be happy with the results. The entrée round mystery basket ingredients run the gamut from light to hearty, and the finalists must work a clever crepe and an interactive candy into their desserts.

Ted's Takeover
Ted's in charge! Four chefs learn that Chopped's illustrious host has been given more power than ever for their competition. Along with his usual leading role, he has designed the baskets and will -- finally! -- get to taste and critique the food. For the appetizer round, Ted challenges the chefs with a wildly unusual product in a tube and his favorite snack of all time. Curry and crab are Ted's choice for two of the mandatory entrée round ingredients, and the final basket includes an exotic extract and an Italian dessert that Ted can never pass up.

Venison Valor
An over-reduced sauce and undercooked venison are two of the potential problems that threaten the chefs as they try to make appetizers. Salmon in the second basket seems like a good draw, but no Chopped round is ever straightforward and easy. Then, with Mexican chocolate in the dessert basket, it seems like the judges are in for a treat, but one of the chef's time management woes are worrying.

Delicate eggs and smoked seafood are part of the appetizer round challenge. A strange syrup and bold greens must be included in the competitors' entrée plates, and breaking open a giant egg should be the first item on the finalists' to-do list in the dessert round.

Leftovers Gone Wild
Making amazing meals out of absolutely anything is this competition's modus operandi, so leftovers is an all-time favorite Chopped theme. In the appetizer round, everyone is excited to show they have what it takes to repurpose foods that might have otherwise been tossed out, and the judges are in for four interesting takes on the first basket. In the entrée round, the chefs attempt to impress the judges using a variety of tools and techniques. The two finalists open the dessert basket to find a single slice of birthday cake, but only one chef will be left celebrating at the end of this leftovers battle.
