Format changes

edit
  • Group Challenges – Teams were divided into two groups of eight for their Instant restaurant rounds. In previous series, teams were usually combined afterwards, however this year, teams continue to compete as part of their groups during the Top 14 to Top 9 rounds. Each group competed in separate People's Choice challenges which also allowed the opposing group to judge and observe the teams' cooking. Once the competition reached the Top 8, teams were combined as a single group.
  • Elimination House – After each challenge, the bottom two teams are sent to Elimination House, a large mansion with two full-sized kitchens for the competing teams to use. Both teams cook a three-course menu for a table of the remaining teams and judges Pete and Manu. Similar to an Instant Restaurant, guest teams and judges score both menus and the lower scoring team is eliminated from the competition.
  • Double Elimination Quarterfinal - For the first time, two teams will be eliminated from the competition in the last quarterfinal.

Note:
  • ^1 - Sonya & Hadil were initially “excused from the table” in Episode 38 at Kim & Suong's Ultimate Instant Restaurant from the competition due to issues from incidents. At Stella & Jazzey's Ultimate Instant Restaurant it was announced they would no longer participate and therefore they did not compete in this round as their scores were removed from the first three Ultimate Instant Restaurants (during their participation, they had scored Jess & Emma and Henry & Anna; and the average guest score was initially added for Kim & Suong). The total score was therefore changed from 130 to 120. This round was closed off by Olga & Valeria and the lowest scoring team (Jess & Emma) from the remaining seven teams was still eliminated.

  • ^2 – As a penalty for creating the weakest dish at the ice-cream challenge, Stella and Jazzey had five minutes of cooking time removed for each course.
