Food Network icon Rachael Ray and best-selling cookbook author and successful restaurateur Guy Fieri,return to coach and mentor eight new celebrity contestants for the second season of Food Network’s Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-Off, Sunday’s at 9pm ET/PT.  The eight celebrities are divided into Team Guy and Team Rachael, as they head out to the west coast to compete over the course of six episodes in intense weekly challenges that are sure to have them working, fighting and laughing along the way. The losing team must send its two bottom-rated contestants to face off against each other, with one member sent home each week in a blind tasting elimination challenge. The last celebrity standing will join the ranks of season one winner, Lou Diamond Phillips, and win $50,000 for the charity which they are playing for.

The eight celebrity contestants competing for the title of Cook-Off champion and a cash prize for their charity include Chilli (member of pop/R&B group TLC), Gilbert Gottfried (actor, comedian), Cornelia Guest (designer, author, philanthropist), Dean McDermott (actor, reality television star), Kathy Najimy(actress, Sister Act), Hines Ward (former NFL player; Super Bowl Champion and MVP), Carnie Wilson(singer, Wilson Phillips) and Johnny Weir (two-time Olympic Figure Skater, three-time U.S. National Champion).
