My Kitchen Rules NZ (series 3)
# My Kitchen Rules NZ (series 3)

My Kitchen Rules NZ (series 3) is a reality television cooking programme which aired on TVNZ 2.

It premiered September 25, with new hosts and judges, Pete Evans and Manu Feildel. Unlike previous seasons, and specific only to the NZ edition, only 6 teams went head-to-head in a single round instant restaurants (and no second round of double dish for each course), before competing in a series of elimination challenges, shortening the season by half.

## Format Changes

* Teams – Only 6 teams were involved in the competition. In the past, at least 12 teams have competed in the competition.
* Special Guest Judges – Special celebrity guest judges have appeared alongside the main judging panel and competing teams for the Sudden Death Cook-offs.
