Tournament of Champions Season 6 recently aired on Food Network. It is filmed in Santa Rosa, California. The series is created by Guy Fieri, who also serves as the host.
The contestants on the show have won other culinary competition shows on the channel and now have a chance to establish themselves as the champion of champions.
They compete against each other through a single elimination process. In each of these rounds, called battles, the chefs are required to prepare a dish within the given timeframe.
The show comes up with different roadblocks to encourage creative thinking and make the competition more fun. For this, the production has a tool called a randomizer on set. This decides the ingredients and tools that chefs will have to work with. It decides the protein, produce, equipment, cooking style, and time limit.
To avoid any biased judgment on the dishes, each chef gets a consultant who walks through the dish when it is being prepared and understands the logistics and feelings behind the same.
They then present the dishes to the judges, who give them scores based on their presentation, plating, creativity, style, taste, and how well they have followed the randomizer's instructions.

The show also invites the audience to their set to watch. In fact, the most recent episode 6 of the new season, the last battle between chef Antonia Lofaso and Rocco DiSpirito, saw an active part from the audience.
They were the ones deciding if the randomizer should be spun again to get a new set of ingredients and tools for their one-on-one competition, and they all voted in favor of the same.
The show invites the audience through a website called 'On Camera Audiences' that books their tickets for them. Per the website, Tournament of Champions Season 6 filming location is Santa Rosa, California. The invitation on the site reads,
"You are invited to priority tickets for season 6 of Tournament of Champions hosted by Guy Fieri. Witness the all-new season of the most intense culinary competition ever held.
It further states,
Emotions run high in the single-elimination, sudden-death bracket tournament as the competitors face off in head-to-head battles to stay alive. All the chefs have the talent and skills to walk away with the ultimate championship title in food, but only one will win the Tournament of Champions."
