Tournament of Champions Season 6 aired its latest episode on April 13, 2025. The fans who were rooting for the female chefs got their wishes to come true. It is because the competition is now between four female participants.

They are Britt Rescigno, Sara Bradley, Antonia Lofaso, and Lee Anne Wong. As these four chefs reach the finals, fans will witness fierce competition in the upcoming Tournament of Champions episode. For that, fans are celebrating the fact that there will be a female winner for the Food Network show.

Celebrating the upcoming "woman" winner from the show, fans took to the social media platform X and shared their excitement via comments.

A fan wrote on X about one more "woman" as the winner for the 6th time:

"What another insanely great round of incredible cooking! Aaaaand for the 6th time in a row a woman will win this competition #TournamentOfChampions."

Another Tournament of Champions fan commented:

"They got rid of all the female winners and we are still left with an all female final four. #TOC #TournamentOfChampions #girlpower."

To that, another person replied:

"They always do. I find it funny that when it's known who cooked what the women win less than the males. When it's unknown the women tend to win more!"

One more fan commented about wanting an "all Asian" final four chefs in the show:

"@FoodNetwork boo we could've had an all Asian final four #TournamentOfChampions."

An X user commented:

"I wonder how different culinary competitions would be if they always did blind judging - because for the SIXTH YEAR IN A ROW, a woman is going to win #TOC. #TOC6 #TournamentofChampions #womendoitbetter."

A fan commented about Chef Britt as one of the finalists in the Tournament of Champions:

"So it's 3 former Top Chef contestants and Britt. #toc6."

One more fan wrote:

"I'm gonna need the guys of @FoodNetwork to step up, 6th year in a row ya'll got ya a*ses (royally) kicked by the ladies (my pick was Jet but then I had to course correct, obviously) but seriously ya'll need to get it together next year #TournamentOfChampions."
