Tournament of Champions Season 4 bracket predictions: 32 chefs but only one winner

Although three women chefs have raised the belt, this year could see the streak come to an end. With 32 chefs ready to battle, the randomizer will reap its havoc on the competition. Who will earn five wins to capture the title? Here are our Tournament of Champions Season 4 bracket predictions.

As many new Tournament of Champions newcomers in the bracket, anything could and will happen. Although there are often first round upsets and some chefs who seem to have a straight path to victory, the Food Network competition is one that has everyone watching over and over.

Although Brooke Williamson, who has earned the best in the West three years running, is not in this year’s competition, there are some other chefs who seem likely to rise to the top. From former winners Maneet Chouhan to Tiffany Faison, those top seeds might be likely semifinalists.

Host Guy Fieri with contestants Shota Nakajima, Tiffany Derry, Ilan Hall, Crista Luedtke, Jose Garces, Tracey Shepos Cenami, Viet Pham, Carlos Anthony, Mei Lin, Joe Sasto, Kelsey Barnard Clark, Maneet Chauhan, Shirley Chung, Eric Adjepong, Madison Cowan, Tiffani Faison, Jonathon Sawyer, Brian Malarkey, Tobias Dorzon, Stephanie Izard, Nate Appleman, Christian Petroni, Elizabeth Falkner, Karen Aukowicz, Antonia Lofaso, Britt Rescigno, Lee Anne Wong, Adam Sobel, Jet Tila, Graham Elliot, Darnell Ferguson, and Leah Cohen, as seen on Tournament of Champions, Season 4. /

While many people are looking for the big upset, there are several first round battles that should be great culinary entertainment. For example, Brian Malarkey against Lee Anne Wong will be quite interesting. Their styles are quite different. Even though they have had their Top Chef differences, it will be curious to see if Malarkey can reign in his complicated plates and Wong can amp up her Hawaiian flavors.

Another great battle will be Graham Elliot versus Eric Adjepong. Although Elliot had a hand in sending Adjepong in his Top Chef season, the difference in cooking styles will make this battle quite curious. Even though Elliot has been on the judging side, the battle is different as a competitor.

Looking at some of the other newcomers, they could make a run for the title. From Stephanie Izard to Shota Nakajima, the Tournament of Champions Season 4 bracket is full Top Chef big hitters. It will be interesting to see if that experience leads them to a win or if Food Network chefs earn top billing.

So, who earn top billing in Tournament of Champions Season bracket predictions? Jet Tila should make a run in the West as should Tiffany Faison in the East. Stephanie Izard has a good chance in the East and Shota Nakajima could be the upset in the West. This year, it could finally be a male chef hoisting the belt.
