Host Guy Fieri kicks off the biggest and most intense competition in the culinary world. Top-scoring chefs from last year are back, and a handful of newcomers with the potential to win it all are stepping into the arena for the first time.

Guy Fieri welcomes the four remaining culinary giants for two epic semifinal battles. The final head-to-head championship battle to win $150,000 will be judged by the three TOC champions and one certified living legend and genuine icon.

Guy Fieri continues the first-round battles with four more sudden death matchups as Iron Chef Stephanie Izard faces off against rising star Michael Reed. In the final battle of the night, two-time finalist Britt Rescigno goes up against Chris Oh.

Eight chefs remain, and the competitors who win their intense head-to-head battle by successfully dealing with the randomizer and satisfying the taste buds of a panel of TOC champs will earn a spot in Tournament of Champions VI.

Finally, after sixteen weeks of explosive meltdowns and explosive meals, one chef is crowned winner and the next head chef of Hell’s Kitchen Las Vegas, securing $250,000 and finally achieving their American dream.

In the final four battles of the first round, Guy Fieri welcomes Chopped judge Amanda Freitag to face off against qualifier winner Carlos Anthony. In the last battle of the round, qualifier winner David Viana takes on former TOC finalist Tobias Dorzon.
