Format Changes
- New Instant Restaurant Rounds
- Colin's Secret Round — For the first time, six teams competed in a new round of instant restaurants with judge, Colin Fassnidge. It is the first time Colin has made an appearance in the instant restaurant round. Furthermore, the first team eliminated from this group, Lynn and Tony are the first contestants ever in the show, to have never cooked for regular judges, Pete and Manu.
- Redemption Round — The lower scoring teams from the three groups were combined and competed in a 4th Redemption round. This is not an entirely new concept, as contestants in the past have competed in an additional round from scoring low the first time before.
- Challenge Round Format — The rounds between eliminations were simplified compared with previous years. 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 — There were a few changes for the main judging panel this year. Judges; Manu and Colin were only present during selected challenges. 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. Pete was featured as a judge for all challenges. During Sudden Death cook-offs, Colin continues to be a part of the blind tasting panel, along with the regular three guest judges
Teams
Twelve teams commenced in the competition, split into two groups. For this series, New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia commenced with two teams, one team from the Australian Capital Territory and three teams from Victoria. After the first two instant restaurant rounds, an entire new group of 6 teams joined the competition as Colin's 'secret round'. This makes this series have a total cast of 18 teams.
In this table, teams numbered 1 or 2 are part of the initial 12 teams—groups 1 and 2. Teams numbered '3' joined the competition as part of Colin's secret round—group 3. These group numbers are only of significance in the instant restaurant rounds.

Competition Details
Instant Restaurants
In the instant restaurant rounds, each episode focuses on one team's day of shopping, cooking, hosting and serving opposing teams and judges a three-course dinner—entrée, main and dessert. All teams give their "instant restaurant" a name and theme, and decorate the room/space and table setting to match that theme. Teams may only start cooking three hours before the other teams arrive at their house. After the team serve all three meals to the judges and their opposition, each team gives them a score out of ten for the overall performance—i.e. food, service, entertainment, etc. Afterwards, each judge gives a score out of ten for each of the three dishes, totaling the highest possible score of 110 (50 points from guest teams and 60 points from judges)
For the "secret" third round, Colin Fassnidge made his first appearance at the instant restaurants. He was also the only judge present for this round.
