Andi Van Willigan, a chef from Santa Monica, California became the sous chef for the Red Team.

This is the first season to featured the double elimination before the finals, and continued as a tradition on later seasons, except season 15 to 17, which return with normally single elimination before finals from the past six seasons.

The winner of this season was TBA.

This season was preceded by season six and followed by season eight.
