# My Kitchen Rules series 4

The fourth series of the Australian competitive cooking game show My Kitchen Rules commenced on 28 January 2013 and concluded on 28 April 2013 on Seven Network.

## Format Changes

* Gatecrasher Round: Three additional "gatecrasher" teams entered the show after the instant restaurant round of Group 2. They competed against the bottom three 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 thought the meals were worth and the winning or losing teams advanced or were re-eliminated.
* Blind Tastings: For all Sudden Death 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.

### Notes

^1 – After Lisa & Candice were eliminated, the total tally of the instant restaurant scores were shown and the three lowest scorers out of the remaining ten teams were Ali & Samuel, Lisa & Stefano and Dan & Steph. They competed in another instant restaurant round with the three gatecrasher teams. These gatecrasher teams were introduced after the last instant restaurant of the second group (Jenna & Joanna). ^2 – The winners of the People's Choice were given the pleasure of choosing one other team to be safe with them, through to the next round. ^3 – Finishing first on the instant restaurant leaderboards, these three teams were exempt from this challenge and safe from elimination. ^4 – The 'Comeback Kitchen' rounds were separate challenges from the main competition and occurred alongside the main stream. Only eliminated teams between the Top 12 and Top 6 (except Josh and Andi for personal reasons) participated in the Comeback Kitchen.

* Description – During the rapid cook-off, teams were challenged to create a dish in 30 minutes using one of four types of herb namely: basil, coriander, mint, and thyme. At the 15 minute mark, the clock was unexpectedly stopped and a twist was thrown in. For the remaining 15 minutes, only one team member was allowed to cook. All teams were reviewed by the judges, with the top 3 teams safe from elimination and the bottom 4 competing in a following showdown. Spice was the main component of the second showdown.

The four teams designed a two course menu for Colin to review, who then sent the three best teams to serve and cook their two-course menu to order, for paying customers and to judges, Pete and Manu for a blind tasting. Customers paid for what they think the meal was worth. The team who made the highest amount of money automatically headed to the next Comeback Kitchen, whilst the weakest team was re-eliminated and lost their chance to return to the competition. Two remaining teams progressed to the next comeback kitchen.
