Ultimate Instant Restaurants

  • Episodes 16 through 20
  • Broadcast Dates — 28 October to 11 November 2024
  • Overview — The Top 5 contenders participated in an Ultimate Instant Restaurant round, revisiting various cities across the country. Each team presented two dish options per course (entrée, main, dessert) for their fellow finalists and the judges. Guests chose one dish per course, while judges Manu and Colin sampled different selections. The team with the lowest cumulative score was eliminated; the remaining four proceeded to the semifinals.

This round marked the debut of open scoring, where teams revealed their scores publicly—a move that sparked controversy as it occurred after Rob & Liam had already been scored.
