Guy Fieri welcomes 16 of the greatest chefs in the world to the most-intense culinary competition ever held. The chefs are ranked, and the first round battle lines are drawn, setting up epic clashes between two best friends, a would-be David and Goliath and a motivated underdog determined to take out the one of the competition's heaviest hitters.

Host Guy Fieri takes the Tournament of Champions to the next level as an intense second round begins. Pressure mounts for the final eight chefs as the competition and judging get tougher, and a shocking result makes it clear that no chef is safe.
