One chef rides a chariot in a culinary fight for the ages; the South rises again in a Civil War-inspired sabotage; and an ice-cream dessert is made out of sandwich ingredients.

The Superstar Sabotage finale features curveballs that include prepping in a ball pit, cooking on a moving boat ride, and the notorious miniature kitchen.

Sabotages include making waffles in weird ways; two chefs get stuffed together while preparing empanadas; and baking lemon-meringue pies turns into a workout.

The competing chefs face challenges, with a Thanksgiving twist. Included: cooking vessels are taken away; cooking takes place in nuts; and a turkey float is paraded through the kitchen.

There are two sets of twins competing for Cutthroat victory and three of them deal with some calzone re-zoning. Then, pirates invade the Kitchen and later, one chef has a really sad birthday.

Ingredients must be harvested from a block of ice; the chefs are given a dim sum challenge; and s'mores are made.

A game of white elephant determines the sabotages for a ham dinner; the chefs gather around a tree to open presents filled with ingredients; and holiday cookies are cooked in a fireplace.

Three chefs are forced to dig for ingredients in a slop trough; curry spices go flying through the air; and making blueberry muffins becomes more of a challenge, thanks to a big, blue ball.

Alton Brown gives one competitor the ultimate poncho to wear while making a breakfast quesadilla. Other challenges include cooking meatloaf in a recliner; and walking on cupcake boxes.

Two chefs are forced to cook breakfast as a tag team; Alton Brown's ax is used to chop up a pork chop; and traffic cones threaten to sabotage a dessert.
