Format changes

  • Special Guest Judges – This series has introduced special celebrity guest judges, who have appeared alongside the main judging panel for specific challenges.
    • Rachel Khoo – The UK chef assisted Colin Fassnidge as the second judge in the third round of Instant Restaurants for Group 3 teams.
    • 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.
  • Sudden Death Format – During the first Sudden Death and Finals Decider eliminations, only Pete and Manu were present to eliminate one team. There was no scoring involved, nor did the guest judges make an appearance. For every other Sudden Death in between, the usual three-course cook-off and judging format remained.
  • MKR Past Contestants – For the first time ever in the series, some past MKR contestants returned to the show, judging the current teams' food for one of the challenges.
