beginning she had a very weak start being one of the most inconsistent performers which led
to her being placed in the bottom seven times although bem managed to improve and bounce back
from her mistakes earning the title of the biggest comeback cook in the show's history
while in the kitchen she had a lot of passion was very determined and showed flashes of brilliance
on the other hand she had quite a few questionable moments like when she would
make mistakes on the simplest tasks or create mediocre dishes that aside she
gradually strengthened her cooking skills and evolved into one of the show's front runners
easily getting along with the other contestants due to her kind nature she would sometimes become
arrogant and disrespectful to those she disliked bem seemingly befriended everyone except for one
contestant named christian collins who was a selfish and narcissistic jerk due to his cocky
and hostile behavior towards the other chefs them and collins had a long running feud impressively

one of the most beloved cooks to appear on the show being very level-headed and cautious she
was also quite humble and sweet which made her very likable despite the fact that she not only
lacked confidence had a quiet start and most of all was legally blind this didn't hold her back
evolving very swiftly into arguably one of the strongest and most consistent chefs of
the season she exhibited herself as a force to be reckoned with also demonstrating how she can be
tenacious and determined she never once used her disability as an excuse for her poor performance

is located in houston such a great contestant luca manfe easily among the nicest contestants in the
show's history luca manfe a season 4 contestant is a phenomenal chef somehow momfait was able to get
along with everybody on a notoriously aggressive cutthroat and competitive set of home cooks
this was mostly due to the fact that he was affable kind-hearted genuine and was almost always
willing to help coming back to the show with more passion and determination than ever after his
failed run in the third season he was immediately recognized as the weak contender from the start
while in the beginning he tended to struggle a lot placing himself in the bottom several
times over simple mistakes this wouldn't last very long bouncing back from his wrongdoings
mountvae became one of the strongest cooks of the season with consistently high performances
during individual and team challenges thanks to his overall friendly nature he was able
to befriend the home cooks going as far as to make jordan james and bree jealous of his skills
however it's impossible to get along with everyone which is especially true with contestants like
natasha and chrissy being viewed as a dark horse that no one thought would go very far he more
than proved himself to be an exemplary cook having immense passion determination talent consistency
patience and humility is what got him so far into the competition not only did he become the fourth
official master chef and the first male to win but he's also widely known as a fan favorite winner

other masterchef winners and does some cooking demonstrations as well as dining experiences

we're glad he's living the american dream courtney lapressi a season five contestant
named courtney la pressi had to be among the most divisive and polarizing contestants of the series
without any shadow of a doubt she was one of the strongest and most consistent chefs of the season
due to this fact she became an instant frontrunner but the biggest issue was her horrible personality
generally her attitude was rather two-sided and pretty ambivalent sometimes la pressi would be
kind and friendly which is how she developed a few little friendships however some found her to
be disingenuous due to her shriveled voice as well as her smug and petty nature that rubbed them the
wrong way she mostly had issues with christian who would insult her out of jealousy leslie
because he was too talkative and cut her because he was stubborn and incapable of taking criticism
on the other hand she developed friendships with christine francielle jaime and victoria as was a
close one with willie winning the competition as a whole she became the fifth master chef earning
her the masterchef trophy her own cookbook and a salary of 250 000 following her appearance

a success oddly she now works in sales for tesla which is an unexpected path to take but a good one
