Tournament of Champions season 6 episode 6 was released on April 6. Titled Randomizer Strikes Back, the episode covered four second-round battles between eight contestants. The participants were segregated into pairs of two, who competed to save themselves from elimination under the judgment of Guy Fieri and Simon Majumdar.
Episode 6 saw Chef Carlos Anthony's departure from the show after he lost his battle with Nini Nyugen. Chefs Adam Sobel, David Viana, and Rocco DiSpirito also went home after losing their respective battles.
Nyugen plated a steak au poivre, while Anthony served a tartare, which he decided to sear in a tataki style. This decision cost him his journey on the show. While everything else on his dish was appreciated, he lost to Nini by one point because of his searing style.

Battle between Chef Carlos Anthony and Chef Nini Nyugen on Tournament of Champions season 6 episode 6
In Chef Carlos Anthony and Chef Nini Nygen's Tournament of Champions season 6 episode 6 battle, they were asked to make dishes that consisted of beef tenderloin and shishito peppers. They were also required to use an immersion blender in the preparation of their dish and were asked to follow an updated classic theme.
Chef Nini Nygen made a steak au poivre, which the judges thought was fresh and new. They also thought some of its elements were different, but that's exactly what made it fresh.
Chef Carlos Anthony, on the other hand, made steak tartare. His presentation of the aji amarillo sauce as a "yolk" garnered praises, while his searing style didn't please the judges much.
In a neck-and-neck competition, Nini Nyugen won by just one point, while Carlos Anthony was sadly sent packing.
New episodes of Tournament of Champions season 6 come out on Sundays at 8 pm ET on the Food Network.
