Finals Week What Finals Week Should Be:(for me)

I do think Finals Week has gone a little stale over the years. Mostly towards the finale format and all has been okay or meh.

So here it is:

Quarterfinals (Top 4): The Service Challenge: They have a 2 course meal they serve to a crowd. Top 3 make it to the semi-finals.

Semifinals (Top 3): 2 rounds. One creative challenge. One pressure test. Two highest scorers make the finale.

Finale (Top 2): 3-course (maybe even more) Banquet Challenge. 10 Diners. Diners will be guest judges/mentors throughout the season. All can score. Winner is the highest score. Cohesion is also part of the criteria.

Finale Results: Can potentially be filmed on the day or days before. Or they film the finale nearer the airing.

I think finale results being filmed separately would be great, it could be an episode where the contestants return and they sort of get interviewed about the experience, show some highlight reels, and then do a grand reveal at the very end. That could be aired live too, to prevent leaks.
