Format
Each week two contestants unknowingly get to star on the show. First, a short video is shown with host Julie in the contestants' houses asking their parents which foods they hate/love. Then the contestants face the first challenge, which involves racing around the game studio in search for different kinds of foods on a list that they were given; but will need to guess if they are the correct foods or not. Then Julie announces the "grosticle number 1" and the two must stop what they are doing and face a challenge which involves eating the foods that they hate, then afterwards, they must go back in search of the foods that they were looking for earlier. They are then faced against a cooking challenge in the "cooking ring" and are allowed to choose two friends from the audience to help them. After Chef Alex Orlando rates their dishes out of 3 points each, samples of their food is given to the audience to rate. In the end, the contestant with the most plates wins an "outdoor adventure" trip. Both players are given a gift just for participating in the show.Cast
