Guy Fieri welcomes four of the best chefs from the East to vie for the eighth seed in the East bracket of the main tournament; the four chefs have to battle each other, face the dreaded Randomizer and survive the blind judging.

Guy Fieri hosts as Tournament of Champions continues with first round battles. In one-on-one sudden death confrontations, three chefs conquer their opponents and the Randomizer to move on to the quarterfinals, and three chefs are eliminated and head home.
