Tournament of Champions 6 concluded recently and announced Chef Antonia Lofaso as the winner. After an intriguing finale battle against Chef Sara Bradley, Chef Antonia won after five seasons of participation. It was a long-awaited win for her, which everyone applauded.

Chef Antonia won after participating multiple times and staying positive about it. Similarly, the upcoming season of Tournament of Champions might see a few returning participants. Fans might already know about the possible return of Chef Britt Rescigno, after she was eliminated in a nail-biting semi-final battle against Chef Antonia.

Tournament of Champions 6 participants: Who might be returning for the upcoming season of the Food Network show?

Tournament of Champions 6 premiered with 21 participating chefs. There were four divisions - Division A, B, C, and D. Each of them had 8 chefs. From division A, Antonia Lofaso, Rocco DiSpirito, Kevin Lee, and Adam Sobel advanced to the second phase. After that, Antonia and Kevin advanced further to the quarter finals, which Antonia won, and moved up to the semi-final.

Four chefs, who advanced to the second phase, are more likely to return for the show's next season. Since Antonia has already won the current season, the chances of her return are lower. However, one can never know, as Maneet Chauhan has won the show twice, Antonia might also be on her way.

From Division B, Britt Rescigno, Michael Reed, Kaleena Bliss, and Shota Nakajima advanced to the second phase. Each of them seemed quite passionate and dedicated in their work. As her parting words from the Tournament of Champions 6 finale episode were, "One day," Chef Britt is highly likely to return for the next season.

Along with her, Kaleena Bliss, one of the strong contenders, can also return for the seventh season. From Division C, Jet Tila, Joe Sasto, Lee Anne Wong, and Jonathan Sawyer advanced to the second phase. They are quite renowned names as they showcased their potential throughout the sixth season.

Each of them seems like they might return for the upcoming season to get another opportunity at winning the competition.

From Division D, David Viana, Sara Bradley, Nini Nguyen, and Carlos Anthony were featured on the second round. While Nini and Sara advanced to the quarter-final round, they both have shown exceptional potential and a strong will. Additionally, Chef Sara competed against Chef Antonia in the recent season's finale, which makes her more likely to return.

Nini Nguyen has also been among the strong contenders throughout the recent season. Those who have been in the quarter-finals and semi-final rounds are more likely to return for the competition. The reason is that they are familiar with the format and they have worked under pressure.

Having said that, they know they can do it as they have already been on the show; hence, advancing further would be an exciting opportunity for them. No matter who returns and which new chefs join the upcoming Tournament of Champions Season 7, it surely is going to be an incredible season.
