Daytime Emmy-nominee Judge David Young served as the competition's judge, and Mark DeCarlo hosted the event.

The "10 Items or Less" team, whose show is set in a grocery store, put their on-the-job training to good use and were declared the competition's victors. Lehr, Valderrama, Davis & Coles, who comprised the winning team, earned a donation of $500 for DoSomething.org, a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering young people to take action in their community around causes they are passionate about. All of the food used in the competition was also donated to the Three Square Food Bank in Las Vegas.

A new season of "10 Items or Less" premieres Tuesday, January 6 at 11 PM ET/PT on TBS.
