An Idol "Rival Ray" Cook-Off!

Aired on: September 9, 2011, May 25, 2011

Three of your American Idol faves, Pia Toscano, Paul McDonald and Stefano Langone, are getting a second chance at the spotlight in a "Rival Ray" cook-off!

• It was the "gasp was heard 'round the world" when fan favorite Pia Toscano was voted off the show. But she's back for a second shot at victory with her recipe for Veggie Quesadillas. "My skills aren't as good as they should be," Pia admits, "but I put a hundred and ten percent into everything!"

• Paul McDonald loved taking the stage and rocking America during his run on the show, and he's hoping to rock the cook-off with his Garlic Bread Grilled Cheese. Paul jokes that his sandwich skills are what initially attracted girlfriend Nikki Reed: "She was like, 'I heard you cook ridiculously awesome grilled cheese sandwiches - we have to go on a date!' And I was like, 'Let's go! I'll make you some grilled cheeses!'"

• "You're hot, I love you - that's all!" was praise Stefano Langone received from Jennifer Lopez, but will he feel the same love from the "Rival Ray" judges with his "Fideo," a Mexican/Italian Mac and Cheese? "I'm half Spanish, half Italian," Stefano says, "so you have to mix it up a little bit!"

Watch the video above to see who judges Stephen Tyler, Jennifer Lopez and Randy Jackson (not the Idol stars, but people with the same names!) pick as the winner of the first-ever Idol "Rival Ray" cook-off!
