The Tournament of Champions is a competition series where contestants compete to claim the grand prize and the winning title.
The series has often managed to surprise its viewers with its battle rounds. During episode 4, chefs were split into pairs and had to utilize the limited ingredients to prepare and serve a dish in front of the judges.
The judges had to determine the fate of each cast member's survival after rating their respective dishes. Amanda Freitag, Dale Tadle, Claudette Zepeda, and Tobias Dorzon were eliminated from Tournament of Champions Season 6 after receiving low scores. Amanda battled with Carlos Anthony, Dale with Sara Bradley, Claudette with Nini Nguyen, and Tobias with Viana.
Tournament of Champions Season 6, episode 4, titled Leave It All on the Floor, was released exclusively on the Food Network on March 23, 2025. The episode synopsis reads as follows:
"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."
Amanda, Claudette, Tobiaz, and Dale were eliminated on the Tournament of Champions Episode 4
In Tournament of Champions Season 6, episode 4, the first challenge was for Carlos Anthony and Amanda Freitag. For this task, the ingredients were revealed as country ribs, jalapenos, a stand mixer, and battered and cinnamon sticks. Carlos managed to impress the judges by utilizing the given ingredients and using his strong points to present albondiga with pickle along with the meatball.
Meanwhile, Amanda made pork ribs with an aji amarillo sauce. The judges praised Amanda's dish as well, however, they thought the stand mixer should have been utilized more. It was then revealed that Carlos's score was 87 compared to Amanda's 85; hence, Carlos headed to the next stage of the competition series.
Later, in the Tournament of Champions episode, Sara Bradley and Dale Talde competed against one another. This time, the randomizer included Denver steak, turnips, charred V-blade mandoline, and horseradish. Sara ended up winning this round as Dale's kalbi with a turnip wrap had some flavour missing.
For the third battle, Nini Nguyen and Claudette Zepeda came face to face as their ingredients were turkey breast, radicchio, a double boiler pan, citrusy, and cantaloupe. Nini's turkey tenders, served along with radicchio salad and a cantaloupe sabayon, were a hit, which is why she received more points than Zepeda.
Toward the end of the Tournament of Champions episode, Tobias Dorzon and Viana had to compete. Tobias' dish wasn't that detailed, resulting in a low score.
Kaleena Bliss, Sara Bradley, Rocco DiSpirito, Nini Nguyen, Kevin Lee, Antonia Lofaso, Shota Nakajima, Michael Reed, Britt Rescligno, Joe Sasto, Adam Sobel, Jet Tila, Lee Anne Wong, Carlos Anthony, Jonathon Sawyer, and David Viana are the remaining contestants competing for the final grand prize.
