Changes
For the 2013 series, contestants are not eliminated every week, though four are eliminated at a time once the top 12 is decided. Every eliminated contestant also receives a range of prizes.
The premise for the 2018 revival remains similar to the adult version of MasterChef Thailand. However, there are multiple contestants eliminated per week, instead of just one.
