* PermanentPlaceholder: During Season 11: Legends, the show introduced a new two-person team challenge called The Wall, likely created to work with production changes brought on by the COVID-19 virus during filming. The Wall was like a more intense version of Tag Team challenge, where two paired team members have to make identical dishes while being on opposite sides of a huge wall unable to see their team member. By the next season 12: Back to Win, with the COVID-19 set restrictions gone the Tag Team challenge brought back but The Wall also appeared as another challenge. Season 13 also included both challenges.

A cooking-themed reality show that has different formats in different countries. In Britain (1990–2001, 2005–), three to six people compete per episode and one of them goes through to the next round at the end. In Australia, New Zealand, United States of America, Canada, South Africa, Peru, Chile, Spain and Argentina (and many other countries), the format is a standard RealityTelevision show, with people leaving each episode and the contestants being whittled down to one over time.

* ThePeterPrinciple: Contestants who cook a good enough dish to win an elimination challenge become team captains in the next episode's team challenge. On several occasions, this reward proves to not be much of a prize, as for some contestants, cooking the best dishes of the elimination challenge has no correlation with the contestant having the skills required to effectively lead a team to victory, be it from poor planning, poor command, or both. Bad enough performance as a team captain may, in the worst cases, lead directly to said captain being eliminated in the pressure test that ensues for their failure, all because their solo cooking excellence led to a "promotion" to the very different role of team leadership.

*** A more unfortunate side of this is that there are kids who made it quite far into the competition but has almost no screen time before they are eliminated. A prominent example of this is Syd from Junior season 5 who, aside from episode 1 which is her audition episode, fades into the background until episode 7, halfway point of the season. None of her dishes made it into the cut and she did not appear in ConfessionCam between those episodes.

In top 6's steak frites challenge, Miss Piggy also participated as contestant alongside the young cooks. She tricked Gordon into cooking the dish for her, resulting in her disqualification since she didn't present her own dish. In one sense, one contestant did go home, but not one of the original young homecooks.
