Chopped: Castaways (2026) : 1x6

The final six Castaways are fighting for their individual survival, and as fatigue sets in, the chefs are pushed to prove they can rise above the competition. In a test of primitive skill, they wade into the lagoon to secure their protein. Back at camp, they're tasked with elevating their fresh catch using only what the island provides. As the clock winds down, even the strongest competitors begin to falter, struggling to execute at this stage of the competition. In the Gauntlet, the bottom two chefs face a prickly crustacean in a fiery showdown where control, precision, and composure are pushed to the limit. Which Castaway will stand out when it matters most, and who will be chopped?
