** Among the contestants, we have Will, who is shown to be supportive towards the other teams, and even gives {{cooldown hug}}s to Lynn, and later Lynzey, when they start to break down due to their dishes not working out as planned.

* OneSteveLimit: Completely averted in the 6th season, where each of the three groups have someone named "Rob" in the team--although the one from the first group is actually called "Robert", and the one from group 2 is eliminated early. Lampshaded when Rob & Dave had to go against Robert & Lynzey in Sudden Death, and some people joked about how there's probably not enough space in the kitchen for two "Rob"s.

* OneHeadTaller: Annie's height barely reaches her boyfriend Lloyd's shoulders.

* SignatureMove: Drasko seem to specialize in the ''sous-vide'' cooking technique, which he frequently employs when he's trying to be particularly showy. So far, he's used it three times: for the Wedding Crashers, the Sudden Death and the cooking Showdown.

** To a lesser extent, Will and Steve. The latter is an ambitiously aspiring chef, and is very meticulous in trying to get their dish cooked ''and'' plated perfectly. By contrast, his "sous chef" Will is much less attentive to such details, and gets quite some flak from his friend when his work fails to meet Steve's standards.

* OneSteveLimit: Completely averted in the 6th season, where each of the three groups have someone named "Rob" in the team. Well, the first group is actually "Robert", and the second Rob got eliminated, but still.

* SignatureMove: Drasko seem to specialize in the ''sous vide'' cooking technique, which he frequently employs when he's trying to be particularly showy. So far, he's used it three times: for the Wedding Crashers, the Sudden Death and the cooking Showdown.

* ShipperOnDeck: Emma and Steve's respective partners, Jane and Will approve of this "relationship". Jane is more obvious about it and points out Emma's attraction to Steve at almost every opportunity, but Will has his moments as well.

* ColorCodedForConvenience: For the Jetstar challenge, contestants were required to wear white chef uniforms, but each teams are given different coloured hats and scarves. Ash & Camilla has red, Drasko & Bianco has dark blue, Eva & Debra has yellow, Jane & Emma has pink, Kat & Andre has orange, and Will & Steve light blue. The two judges wears all-whites.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Kat regards Annie as one. The latter may constantly behave like a cute and harmless airhead, but isn't shy of saying insensitive or even insulting stuffs about others (especially Kat and Andre). Kat angrily remarks that if Annie were to have a spirit animal, it would be a snake.
* BreakTheHaughty: This happens very frequently, as many teams confidently declare they could do better than the previous teams in their instant restaurants, but when they finally get to the kitchen, the pressure gets over their heads, a lot of things go wrong, and things go downhill from there.

* BrokenRecord: In each and every of the People's Choice challenges, the various contestants would repeatedly mention how the winner of People's Choice would be safe from two eliminations, therefore it is important for them to win it.

* EliminationCatchPhrase: Manu frequently tells the eliminated teams, "''Au revoir'', and good luck," before they leave the kitchens.

* MemeticHair: Ash from Season 6 has a very ''noticeable'' frizzy hairstyle that other contestants and interviewers like to poke fun at.

** While this by no means lowers his judging standard, Pete is usually far less harsh in his criticism than Manu would be. He seems to sincerely try to find something good in the dish he's judging, give appreciation to the team's efforts, encourage them to do better in their next courses, and would sometimes even apologize for having to give the dish such a low score.
** Among the contestants, we have Will, who is shown to be supportive towards the other contestants, and even gives {{cooldown hug}}s to Lynn, and later Lynzey, when they start to break down due to their dishes not working out as planned.

* DemotedToExtra: Colin's ascended status comes at the the expense of Many, whose judging role is greatly reduced as he no longer appears to judge at the People's Choice Challenges.

** Steve as well. The preview of the Gardener challenge shows him talking back to Pete when the latter gave a negative feedback for his dish.

** At the end of Season 6's 12th episode, most, if not all, of the remaining contestants got worried when Colin (who had already established a reputation of having a very strict standards) makes an unexpected appearance. And this was ''before'' he brought in the extra 6 teams for his secret Instant Restaurant round.

** Many teams dreaded the Camping Challenge they were assigned to for the season's first People's Choice Challenge, as most of them aren't used to the outdoors, much less camping. Only Rob and Dave, who camps often, were actually happy to go for it.

* WaistcoatOfStyle: Colin frequently wears a vest instead of a coat in his appearances, and looks just as well-dressed and stylish as the other judges.

* ImpossiblyGoodFood: Any dish that gets a 10/10 from the judges qualifies, but probably the most notable of this is Rob & Dave's mushroom ravioli they made for their first Instant Restaurant, as it claimed the first ever 10/10 from the notoriously critical judge, Colin Fassnidge.

** To a lesser extent, Will and Steve. The latter is an ambitiously aspiring chef, and is very meticulous in trying to get the dish cooked ''and'' plated perfectly. By contrast, his " sous chef" Will is much less attentive to such details, and gets quite some flak from his friend when his work fail to meet Steve's standards.

* ShutUpHannibal: During the final episode of the Redemption round, Kat was complaining about how "strategic scoring" was the reason why she and Andre are at the bottom of the leader board, essentially accusing the other teams of being unfair in their judging. Pete tells her that, if she wants to stay in the competition, she only needs to do one thing: make good food.

Inspired by ''Series/MasterChef Australia'', the series follow a group of two-people teams, each representing the different states of Australia, as they compete against each other in cooking matches. Every season begins with an "Instant Restaurant" round, where the teams are separated into 2 groups, and are tasked to set-up their homes into a themed restaurant and prepare a three-course meal -- consisting of an entree, main course and dessert -- to the judges and their opponents. The guest teams would then judge the overall meal with a score out of 10, while the judges will grade each separate dish with a score out of 10. The team with the lowest score will be eliminated from the match.

* DudeNotFunny: During the first Redemption Round, Andre felt a little out of place being the only guy at the table. Bored by all the girl-talk, he tried to amuse himself by telling a number of increasingly unfunny blonde jokes, either oblivious or deliberately ignoring the fact that almost half the table (Katie, Nikki, Sheri, and Emilie) is made up of blondes. [[InUniverse Suffice to say, the other guests were not happy with this behaviour]].
