NBC is opting to run the final two episodes
of Celebrity Cooking Showdown on its website instead of on television
tonight and tomorrow. Instead, repeats of Will & Grace and My Name is Earl will air tonight and
an "encore" Deal or No Deal will fill the time slot on Friday.

They are also showing the final episodes back to back at 8 PM Eastern Time as well as online at least according to TheFutonCritic (http://www.thefutoncritic.com/cgi/newswire.cgi?id=7137)

TheFutonCritic was wrong.
This show was terrible, I couldn't get through it. It wasn't even half as interesting as Iron Chef (America), which itself isn't that good a show.

While I didn't think it was the greatest show ever, I was watching "Cooking With the Stars". I liked the host and the celebrity chefs. And there were some really good cooking tips, too! I would like to know who wins.
I think NBC did a disservice to the show by switching its time-slot from night to night. Was the network TRYING to get rid of viewers?
And c'mon! It's not like it was a huge committment on their part to air all five episodes. So to NBC I'm gonna say: "no thanks!" I won't watch any more of your week-long special events, because I can't see the point in setting muself up for disappointment. Guess it's back to the Food Network for me...
FYI -- I was able to watch on the internet, but the format was very confusing. (Plus I think the assumption that people will a)know to look on-line and b) have the hardware to view it is, for lack of another word, "mean".)
I ended up watching a lot of stuff I really didn't want to while trying to find the show. Was that the point? If so, NBC sucks more than I can describe--maybe they should just become a subsidiaty of some vacuum company.

The WORST part was watching these d-list celebs running around in high heels and skimpy dresses on the stage. Alan was a bad host as well. I was done with it before the end of the first show. At least Tony is still a good football player.

I thought the premise of the show was great, and I looked forward to the first show. But, halfway through the show, I was ready to turn it off because of Alan Thicke. His running commentary on what the celebrities were doing at that second really got on my nerves. I vowed I was not going to watch it again, as long as Alan Thicke was the host. He ruined the entire show. I thought Hells Kitchen was so much better than this show. And I can't stand Deal or No Deal, because of Howie Mandel. Find better hosts, and your shows would be hits.
