Contestants will first go through an audition stage where the judges will cook within a certain period of time before the eyes of the judges, and the contestant who gets approval from at least two judges will move on to the next stage. In the next stage, they will go through the triple duel stage in order to enter the main cast, the person who cooks the best food in that stage will pass to the main cast, while the others will be eliminated.

Season 5 (2021-22)

[edit]

System in season 5

[edit]

Along with a chosen contestant by juries whose eliminated in the triple duel stage, 5 main cast contestants and 5 reserve cast contestants are selected from each group of 15 people. Thus, the number of main cast and reserve cast contestants will be completed to 15.

The selected reserve cast contestants have to compete against each other each week to replace an eliminated contestant from the main cast.(in the first match, for to be the last contestant of the main cast)

The selection of the reserve cast is made before the qualifying day, but in terms of the rules it is the same as the final round stage. In the last two reserve selections, the second stage, the creativity stage, is removed. Instead, the person who cooks the food requested by the chefs best is included in the main cast.

In addition, the 'loop round, in which the eliminated contestants are brought back, was introduced this season. Two of the contestants eliminated before they reach the last ten in this round have a chance to be reintegrated into the main cast, thus reshaping the second turning point, the last twelve.

This season is the season where the elimination system is changed the most, and it is also the MasterChef season with the most reserve contestants called up. (13 reserve calling in total; 3 for final round, 7 for main cast, 2 for main cast in mid-to-end season )

Slightly different from the previous season, they did not call a reserve contestants for the final round. Instead, they choose 6 contestant from each batch of 16 contestants for the main cast, then they choose 5 contestants from each batch of remaining 10 contestants for the reserve cast. Complete the number of main cast contestants to 18, reserve cast contestants to 15.

Since the number of main cast contestants for this season has been increased to 18, the number of reserve contestants to be recruited this season has been reduced to 5. That's why it is the first season in which the number of reserve contestants is reduced.

Season 7 All Star (2023-24)

[edit]

System in Season 7

[edit]

Although the elimination system runs parallel to the 5th and 6th seasons, it differs from its predecessors by including runner-ups and champions from the reserves in the competition.

Contestants who cannot become finalists are categorized according to the seasons they are in and divided into 4 batches and competed each other to enter 5 person-quota each:

•1'st Batch: Season 2 (2018) and Season 3 (2019)

This batch is consisted of only 12. Due to their small number, they selected only 3 people for the reserve candidates, apart from those who entered the 5-person main squad quota.

•2'nd Batch: Season 4 (2020)

This batch is consisted of 14. Just like in the first batch, only 3 reserve candidates were selected from this group. It also differs from other seasons in that this season's champion is not included in the squad.

•3'rd Batch: Season 5 (2021)

This batch is consisted of 20. It differs from other seasons in that everyone in this season participates in the preliminary round.

Since they are more numerous, they increased the number of reserve candidates to 4.

•4'th Batch: Season 6 (2022)

This batch is consisted of 17. Since it is the most current season before the All Star season, they increased the number of reserve candidates to 5.

They start the competition by selecting only 2 people from the reserve candidates along with the 20 people selected for the main squad. The runner-ups of their current season are included in the squad week by week, immediately after the two selected reserve contestants.

After all runner ups arrive and the number of remaining contestants is reduced to 16, 4 champions are added to the squad at the same time, thus completing the squad.

Captains duel has been added when remaining contestant count is reduced into 16.

Unlike previous seasons, since the Survivor 2024 All Star season was postponed 1 month early, individual games were started when there were 7 contestants instead of 5.

Weekly System in Season 7

[edit]

In this season, the 3 team game-6 elimination candidate system, which was implemented in the last 3 seasons, continues as it is. However, the captain duel system and masterclass sections have been completely removed. Instead, the award game, which was played in the 6th season and counted as the 4th team game, and an individual game in which the 7th elimination candidate was determined were added.

When there were 11 contestants remaining, they reduced the number of elimination candidates to 4, and the number of elimination candidates per team game was reduced to 1. The elimination was evaluated based on the points the contestants received from both creativity and chef plates.

When there were only 7 contestants left, the competition turned completely individual. A 5-day voting game was played for the chef jacket to be given to one person each day. While the chef with the highest score won the jacket, the 2 contestants who could not get the chef jacket at the end of 5 days were eliminated.

The 5 contestants who managed to get the chef's jacket were asked to prepare an entree, a main course and a dessert of a certain concept every day, and the contestant with the lowest score at the end of the day was eliminated.

On the final day, a little different from the previous final games, they were first asked to prepare a menu with a Turkish Cuisine concept, then a menu with an International Cuisine concept, and finally, the contestants were asked to make a signature plate in the game where the champion was determined live. The contestant with the highest total score on the final day became the champion.

Season 8 (2024-25)

[edit]

System in Season 8

[edit]

This season's system is similar to that of season 7. The contestants who made it to the final round competed in 4 groups of 12 candidates and competed to be placed in the main cast quota of 5 people each.

However, unlike the previous final rounds, instead of the entire first rounds being a recipe competition, they started with one day of recipe (on odd-numbered days) and one day of creativity (on even-numbered days).

The contestants who could not make it to the main cast played a 2-round game to get into the reserve round, where 3-4 people would be taken from each group.

In the reserve round, unlike Season 7 did, they selected 5 people for the only instead of 2.

The elimination system in the main competition is the same as that of season 7.

Season 10 All Star Gold Cup (2025-26)

[edit]

System in Season 10

[edit]

This season is serving as mini filler season in between MasterChef Turkey Season 9 and Survivor Turkey Season 20.

In the first two weeks, five team challenges are played, and at the end of the day, the person from the losing team who wins immunity directly nominates a candidate for elimination. This also applies to the elimination candidate, but their nomination is not dropped.

The elimination round consists of two stages. In each round, there will be one contestant eliminated.

In the third week, two-stage challenge are played each day to determine the quarter-finalists who will receive the golden apron. The winner of the day becomes a quarter-finalist, and those who do not make it into the 8-person quarter-final quota by the end of the week are eliminated.

In the first half of the final week, the quarter-finalists play a two-round game to win one of four chef jackets. The winner of the day becomes a semi-finalist, while those who don't win a jacket by the end of the four days are all eliminated.

[edit]

System in Season 11

[edit]

The season is progressing almsot the same as Season 8 & 9.

This season has 26 contestants (20 main, 6 reserves).

In this season, unlike others, 2 of the final reserves has been determined by polls. The 5th reserve Faruk Garip was selected via an impromptu voting during the mystery box challenge episode to determine the that week's blue team captain whereas the 6th and final reserve Buse Baştan was determined via an Instagram poll including all the remaining reserve cast.

The individual game to determine the last elimination candidate called the strainer game was renounced. Instead, the Red and Blue teams go for a 4th team game meaning it's possible to make the score even thus sending 2 additional eliminiation candidates to the elimination game, making it an 8-player game in the elimination nights.

Weekly teams

[edit]

At the beginning of each week, a mystery box challenge is played where all contestants compete individually. The contestant who wins the challenge is chosen as the captain of the blue team and selects the captain of the red team. In weeks with an even number of contestants, the blue team captain determines the final contestant of the red team with their last pick, whereas in weeks with an odd number of contestants, the red team captain determines the final contestant of the blue team with their last pick.

Blue

[edit]

Since the captain of the blue team earns this right through a challenge, they are granted 2 separate individual immunities by the show, which can be used in the event of losing any team challenge.

Individual immunities and Elimination nominees

[edit]

Each week, 4 team challenges are played. The losing team in each team challenge plays an individual game among themselves called the individual immunity game. The winner becomes immune specifically for that day and nominates a contestant from their team as an elimination nominee. Blue team captains hold immunity rights for 2 out of the 4 games. Therefore, unless the blue team loses 3 out of the 4 team games, the blue team captain cannot be selected as an elimination nominee.
