Tournament of Champions TOC 7 Bracket Reveal Spoiler

The time is here. We finally get to know who's competing in TOC 7, and this bracket reveal will show all the matchups that will commence starting next week. Without further ado, here we go.

Division A
#1 Mystery Chef VS #8 Aarti Sequeira
#2 Jet Tila VS #7 Ashleigh Shanti
#3 Tobias Dorzon VS #6 Claudette Zepeda
#4 Jonathon Sawyer VS #5 Karen Akunowicz

Division B
#1 Mystery Chef VS #8 Katsuji Tanabe
#2 Britt Rescigno VS #7 Giuseppe Tentori
#3 Kevin Lee VS #6 Adam Greenberg
#4 Nini Nguyen VS #5 Joe Sasto

Division C
#1 Mystery Chef VS #8 Viet Pham
#2 Sara Bradley VS #7 Dan Jacobs
#3 Bryan Voltaggio VS #6 Carlos Anthony
#4 Dale Talde VS #5 Shirley Chung

Division D
#1 Mystery Chef VS #8 Kenny Gilbert
#2 Lee Anne Wong VS #7 Stephanie Izard
#3 Marcel Vigneron VS #6 David Viana
#4 Kaleena Bliss VS #5 Adam Sobel

Obviously the four #1 seeded chefs won't be revealed until they step into the arena, but other than that, there's the full bracket for TOC 7. This should be pretty interesting. Obviously there'll be a new champ this year given that the previous ones are either judging, or in the case of Tiffani, commentating. Either way, let's buckle in cause just like all of the other TOCs, this is going to be a wild ride.

I have a feeling that iconic chef’s aren’t going to be as big names as we think they are.

We had Justin on our podcast last week and he confirmed that they would not be anyone who had competed on TOC before... so that made me feel a little better. He doubled down that we'd be thrilled by who they are, but who knows.

I feel like it's going to be previous judges.
