The latest Tournament of Champions Season 6 saw Chef Antonia Lofaso as the winner. She won against Chef Sara Bradley in the show's finale, where her Glazed Sticky Beef Salad and Spicy Wagyu Sausage and Huitlacoche Mash won her the title. While Chef Sara received 82 points in the finale challenge, Chef Antonia's score was 88, resulting in her win.
However, if it had not been Chef Antonia Lofaso, then who won the legendary culinary competition's sixth season? Well, for starters, I would think of the finalists first. Why? Because they have already reached the end, which says something in itself.
I think it could have been either of: Chef Sarah Bradley, Chef Britt Rescigno, or Chef Lee Anne Wong, who could have won the Tournament of Champions Season 6, if not Chef Antonia Lofaso.
Tournament of Champions Season 6: Cheftestants who had the potential to win the competition
Being a cheftestant on Tournament of Champions Season 6, the sixth time, Chef Antonia Lofaso finally won the title. If not her, there have been a few chefs who might have won the show's sixth season. To be clear, not some, but all of the cheftestants have had years of experience, skills, and extraordinary techniques. But here we are discussing those who might have won the show.
For me, the finalists were closer to winning than the rest of the competing chefs on the show. Let's start with the one who was closest to the winning title, Chef Sara Bradley. Being a first-timer on the Tournament of Champions Season 6, Chef Sara surely made an unforgettable impact.
Even though it was her first time, not only did she advance to the show's finale, but she also gave a tough and on-the-edge competition to the current winner, Chef Antonia Lofaso. The final score was 82 against Chef Antonia's 88. Some might say that a 6-point difference was too much, but she was almost there, to the very end.
Next is fan favorite (and my favorite as well) Chef Britt Rescigno, who gave intense competition to Chef Antonia. After fans witnessed an extremely exciting semi-final round between the two, which Antonia won by 1 point, everyone was rooting for a final battle between Chef Britt and Chef Antonia.
Seeing Chef Britt Rescigno win the Tournament of Champions Season 6 would surely have made her dream come true. The sixth season was Chef Britt's third time participating in the show.
Next up, who might have won the Tournament of Champions Season 6, is Chef Lee Anne Wong. Her last challenge was the semi-final round against Chef Sara Bradley. While Lee scored 83 in the semi-final challenge, Sara received 85 points. It resulted in Chef Sara advancing, while Chef Lee Anne was eliminated.
Had there been a few minor tweaks, the outcome of Tournament of Champions Season 6 would have been entirely unexpected. As each of the participating chefs presented a unique set of skills, they all delivered their best performances throughout their time on the show.
While fans eagerly await the upcoming season, they can watch the legendary challenges from the Tournament of Champions Season 6 on Food Network.
