Guy welcomes the 16 remaining chefs into the arena to congratulate them on making it out of the first round. After matching up eight chefs for the next round of battles, he reveals the randomizer twist -- double the proteins! The chefs will have to make surf-and-turf dishes in each round with the combination decided by the randomizer. As always, four chefs move one step closer to winning the championship belt, and four chefs head home.

Guy welcomes the eight remaining battle-tested chefs to contend with the dreaded randomizer and take on each other in sudden death battles. By the night's end, four chefs will be left standing and need to get ready for battle in the finale.
