Country cooking queen Paula Deen leads the cast along with Bindi Irwin, daughter of the late "Crocodile Hunter." Former Backstreet Boy Nick Carter will pull a lot of viewers especially those teens who filled their rooms with his posters back in the 90s. And then there's Chaka Khan who will show her competitors that she is indeed every woman.

Worth noting is Alek Skarlatos, the 22-year-old Army National Guard Specialist who was one of the three men who stopped a terrorist attack when a man started shooting on a Paris-bound train. Skarlatos was awarded the France's Legion of Honor. He also has an increasing fan base because he's a looker.
