Format changes

  • Gatecrasher round -- Three additional "gatecrasher" teams entered the show after the instant restaurant round of Group 2. They competed against the bottom 3 teams from the remaining 10, in a third round of instant restaurants
  • Comeback Kitchen -- A number of teams were eliminated on more than one occasion. After their initial elimination, they were brought back through a 'Comeback Kitchen' which saw teams compete for one remaining spot in the finals. Losing teams were 're-eliminated' from the competition. This challenge saw eliminated teams cooking meals to order for judge, Colin Fassnidge's restaurant 4Fourteen. Patrons paid for what they though the meals were worth and the winning or losing teams advanced or were re-eliminated.
  • Blind tastings -- For all Sudden Death elimination cook-offs, guest judges no longer knew who cooked which dish.



Teams

For this series, Queensland, South Australia, and Tasmania each commenced with two teams, while New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia each had three teams (two original teams and one "gatecrasher" team) A team's Group 1, 2 or gatecrasher status was only of significance in the Instant restaurant rounds.
