Tournament of Champions season 6 starts on Sunday, March 2nd at 8pm on Food Network and 32 chefs are competing a $150,000 prize. This year, none of former champions are competing in the competition and they will be taking on other roles on Tournament of Champions. Former winner Tiffani Faison will be a sideline reporter, while other former winners Maneet Chauhan, Brooke Williamson, and Mei Lin will be helping out judging.
There were two weeks worth of qualifiers where chefs competed head-to-head to try to earn 7th and 8th seeds. Here are the results of all of those matchups and the eight chefs that earned their way into the tournament were: Maria Mazon, Jonathon Sawyer, Carlos Anthony, Chris Oh, Brittanny Anderson, Pyet Despain, Adriana Urbina, and David Viana.
The other 24 chefs competing in the main tournament are Karen Akunowicz, Kaleena Bliss, Sara Bradley, Chris Cosentino, Rocco DiSpirito, Tobias Dorzon, Amanda Freitag, Stephanie Izard, Kevin Lee, Antonia Lofaso, Tim Love, Shota Nakajima, Nini Nguyen, Michael Reed, Britt Rescigno, Joe Sasto, Chris Scott, Adam Sobel, Dale Talde, Casey Thompson, Jet Tila, Fabio Viviani, Lee Anne Wong and Claudette Zepeda.
Justin Warner and Tiffani Faison will be providing the play-by-play analysis of the competition, and Hunter Fieri will again be following the action backstage with interviews. The judges this year include Maneet Chauhan, Mei Lin, Brooke Williamson, Scott Conant, Cat Cora, Susan Feniger, Alex Guarnaschelli, Mary Sue Milliken, Charlie Palmer, Wolfgang Puck, Marcus Samuelsson, Nancy Silverton, Martha Stewart, Michael Symon, Ming Tsai, Jonathan Waxman and Andrew Zimmern.
This post will be used to track the winners for each episode, so come back each week to see who won the matchups on Tournament of Champions and to discuss the episodes. Also, the Tournament of Champions season 6 bracket will be added here once it is revealed. This year they are not doing East vs. West as the bracket theme, so there will be a little more variety with the matchups. The finale will air on Sunday, April 20th where the winner will be crowned and awarded $150,000.
UPDATE - The bracket has been revealed and it is below:
