Second season of Rachael vs Guy: Celebrity Cook Off premieres January 6th

The first season of Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-Off had a huge start. The series premiere was seen by 3.524 million viewers, had a rating of 1.1 and ranked 3rd in the cable ratings, well, that night anyhow. Now the series is back with a second season, with the season premiere set to air on January 6, 2013, at 9pm ET/PT.

The mentors of the show are best-selling cookbook author Guy Fieri and Food Network icon Rachael Ray. Both of them will have their own teams of four celebrity contestants. Each week there's a challenge between the two teams, with losing team having to send one of their member home. The winning celebrity won't have the chance to take anything *home*, well, except for him- or herself, but the charity he or she chose to play for, will get $50 000. And by the end of the day, that's what the show is all about.

In this second season the list of competing celebrities is as follows: Chilli, Cornelia Guest, Dean McDermott and Johnny Weir will be part of Team Guy; Gilbert Gottfried, Kathy Najimy, Hines Ward and Carnie Wilson will be part of Team Rachael.

Both of the cooking mentors are happy to have the chance to go against each other again to determine who in reality is the best cooking mentor.

"Rachael's like family, and when we go into the show, our sibling rivalry comes out. It’s fierce, but we have a blast," said Guy Fieri.

If you're fan of great cooking shows and aren't scared of celebrities with knives, be sure to tune on on January 6, 2013, at 9pm ET/PT for Rachael vs Guy: Celebrity Cook Off.
