Format changes
- New Instant Restaurant Rounds
- Colin's Secret Round — For the first time, six teams competed in a third group of instant restaurants with judge, Colin Fassnidge. It is the first time Colin has made an appearance in the instant restaurant round.
- Redemption Round — The teams who placed 4th and 5th in their respective instant restaurant groups were combined and competed in another instant restaurant round.
- Challenge Round Format — After the People's Choice challenge, two teams are sent directly into Sudden Death, skipping the past process of a kitchen cook-off to determine the second team. As a result, teams who pass the People's Choice are deemed safe and the winner becomes safe from two eliminations.
- Judging Panel Changes — For the off-site People's Choice challenges, Colin Fassnidge joined Pete Evans as a co-judge for the teams cooking, while Manu is present for cook-offs held in Kitchen Headquarters. During Sudden Death Cook-Offs, Colin continues to be a part of the blind tasting panel, along with the regular three guest judges.
