Boot camp is transformed into ancient Greece, and the teams face off in a head-to-head relay race to make a Mediterranean mezze platter. After they've channeled their inner culinary gods and goddesses, the recruits learn how to make a classic Greek dish, lamb souvlaki, for the Skill Drill challenge. Later in the Main Dish cook, Anne and Darnell aren't "squidding" around when they task their teams with making grilled octopus dishes. Some recruits conquer the Herculean task, but the least successful recruit must sail off into the sunset.

Halfway through the competition, it only gets harder to survive boot camp! Anne Burrell and Darnell Ferguson push the recruits' culinary, physical and mental skills in the kitchen by having them compete in Survivor: Boot Camp Edition. For this game, they must work together to navigate through an obstacle course and complete a series of culinary-related tasks. Then, the recruits go head-to-head with the opposite team making international chicken wings. In the Main Dish challenge, the recruits must prove they can survive on their own in the kitchen before facing elimination.
