Masterchef Back to Win Contestants Key Art

“MasterChef Australia” is back this Monday, and it’s bringing familiar faces with it for a special “Back to Win” season. Get ready to see 23 returning contestants step back into the kitchen, all eager for another shot at the coveted title. They’ll need to be sharp right from the start, because none other than Gordon Ramsay is joining as a guest judge to kick off the season’s very first challenge.

In the premiere episode, the contestants will be split into three teams for a pressure-cooker service challenge. It’s designed to test not just their individual cooking chops, but also how well they can work together when the heat is on. Having Ramsay in the kitchen is sure to add extra intensity as everyone tries to impress the famously demanding chef.
