    • Curtis Stone – Appeared as a guest judge alongside Pete and Manu during the first Sudden Death challenge in Kitchen Headquarters.
  • Redemption Round Double Elimination – For the first time, two teams are eliminated from a single Instant Restaurant round.

    • Robert & Lynzey, Ash & Camilla and winners, Will & Steve from 2015 (series 6)
