hello everyone hope you're having an amazing day today welcome to the Film Insight channel
for today's video we're going to discuss some more Masterchef US contestants and where they are now
so sit back relax and without further ado let's get right into the content guys Shaun O'Neale
season seven contestant Shaun O'Neale brought his a-game to the competition eventually becoming
the quote-unquote top dog after fighting his way to the top o'neil managed to become the seventh
cook to win masterchef us his win was certainly justified since from the beginning he quickly
established himself to be a very strong chef with a high-end fine dining style of cooking
he seemingly impressed the judges on multiple occasions while the start of his journey might
be described as silent he swiftly made a name for himself and was a force to be reckoned with
it was especially entertaining to watch o'neil in action since he always had a lot of passion
and determination though to be completely fair he wasn't perfect having several questionable
moments of rudeness on top of this he could be quite opinionated very condescending and petty
which made him very unlikable to many he also had the tendency to be cocky and arrogant often
putting other contestants down when he deemed him as weak but he did have the talent to back it up
due to this less than favorable side of o'neill he had a running feud with nathan and a horribly
bitter rivalry with david this was mostly due to the fact that david was extremely immature and
was incapable of communicating during challenges at the very least o'neil was able to be calm and
loosen up at times so he did get along with a few people following his appearance on the show
the talented cook wrote and published his own cookbook called my modern american table recipes
for inspired home cooks which did pretty well additionally he hosted a slew of pop-up dining
events cookery demonstrations and taught online cookery classes alongside other masterchef winners
in recent times o'neil announced that he was going to be reopening a restaurant called the blind pig
in las vegas since the restaurant was dying he plans to give the place a makeover and revamp
the menu then act as the business's co-owner and executive chef seems like he's doing well
ebony henry considered one of the strongest passionate and most consistent chefs of the
eighth season ebony henry fought her way to the finals coming into the competition with
a very solid start thanks to her consistency she ended things off the same being a very
assertive and provocative person henry could also be very encouraging to those around her
though she would often self-describe herself to be very sassy and have an extremely fiery temper not
afraid to stand her ground she also exhibited bully-like qualities against some of the other
cooks and was shown to be very controlling and petty at times other than that she was able to
put her ego aside and take responsibility for her mistakes and listen when she got critiques
due to this fact she grew the most out of anyone that season and was able to make it to the finals
despite the fact that she had a lot of negative qualities she got along with most of the chefs in
the competition it's included people like caitlyn daniel dino gabriel and jason as well as a close
friendship with kate however she definitely didn't get along with everyone especially at chichia
bryan and adam who were constantly trash talking her and even more so with a contestant named jeff
who she had a long running feud with due to his insufferable arrogance following her appearance
on the show she continued on as a private chef offering private dining experiences additionally
she has a youtube channel you can check out with four short videos on it the last being a year ago
seemingly she was trying to start a little series called let's eat chef but disappeared after the
first episode most likely because it didn't really get that many views henry's instagram seems to
be popping off though rocking 100 000 followers despite being set to private dino angelo luciano
widely recognized as one of the most memorable contestants in the show's history dino angelo
luciano made his debut in the eighth season grabbing the winning title due to his undeniable
skill luciano absolutely killed the competition being awarded with the masterchef trophy coming
into the competition he was certainly easy to like since his personality was quirky and flamboyant
on top of this he had a lot of heart and passion always willing to encourage and support his
fellow competitors due to this he was extremely appreciated by both the contestants and viewers
alike effectively becoming a fan favorite much like luca mampfe lujana was viewed as a dark horse
that wouldn't get very far into the competition though he was severely underestimated and quickly
became a frontrunner for his consistent cooking luciano's cooking style was widely considered as
unique as if each meal he put in front of the judges was telling a story praising his side
one of his biggest issues was the fact that he could become very frantic during team challenges
it was a different story when it came to individual challenges for some reason since he was
able to keep his cool and stay focused developing close friendships with jason daniel adam ebony and
kate he had a long-running feud with jeff and a short-term one with yatsuchia fast forward to
after his appearance on masterchef luciano hosted a list of exclusive diners and pop-up experiences
additionally he was the executive chef at muse and market in phoenix over the summer of 2018.
surprisingly the talented chef made a cameo appearance in the 10th season finale as a
guest star in recent time luciano relocated to montreal quebec and opened up a vegan restaurant
called the mariachi which has absolutely delicious mexican cuisine the restaurant really makes his
southern californian side shine through so we really recommend you visit le mariachi if you
travel to montreal garen hurt appearing in the ninth season of the show garen heard managed to
become the winner of his season known to be a very kind-hearted and likable cook with an honest and
humble personality it's generally what got him so far in the beginning he was quite inconsistent and
struggled a lot which led him to being the bottom on several occasions though as time progressed he
gradually improved on his cooking skills and got to a point where he was the strongest competitor
cooking straight from the heart hurt showed immense passion and talent throughout his
time in the kitchen many might even consider this amazing chef to be one of the greatest masterchef
winners of all time and we have to agree due to his friendly nature he developed close friendships
with people like farhan ryan caesar and samantha though he did have a bit of a dislike towards
mark since he was very arrogant and acted like he knew everything as well as shanika
since she was always negative becoming the youngest male competitor to win the competition
hurt deservingly received the masterchef trophy alongside 250 thousand dollars
following his appearance on the show he appeared in a collection of cookery events
as well as culinary projects in louisville then in july of 2019 he took part in camp
masterchef and became a traveling chef until he returned to the show in the 10th season
the episode was dedicated to gordon ramsay and his marriage officiation where hurt was invited
dorian hunter masterchef contestant dorian hunter was ranked as the official winner and awarded a
beautiful trophy alongside this she was given the right to publish her own cookbook and received a
hefty 250 000 salary this was certainly for good reason since hunter proved to everyone
that she was made to be in the kitchen being one of the strongest and most talented chefs
of her season she was able to win thanks to her immense passion and determination on top of this
she was quite consistent in both the individual and team challenges never placing in the bottom
though our biggest issue was the fact that she had a short temper and would get too emotional
for instance she broke into tears during the tag team elimination challenge with a
contestant named subha regardless she was able to overcome this and showed everyone watching
that she could still produce quality dishes well under pressure especially for this reason she
was seen as a frontrunner and eventually went on to win the competition as a whole
after appearing on the show hunter took up some training at the restaurants of the three judges
now that her one has been made public she plans on using her winnings to open up a restaurant
if you'd like to learn more she has a website called chef dorian where
you can purchase online courses merchandise and more she seems to be doing great things
david miller for our last quick little entry we're going to discuss the season 1 contestant named
david miller who ranked as the runner up having an eccentric personality from the start miller
was considered arrogant and very cringe-worthy to watch though he admittedly was naturally gifted
and had some great leadership skills which is why he got so far into the competition after
his loss miller returned to his previous career in software but still has a passion for cooking
interestingly enough he was banned from the art market subreddit for scamming some users
what a surprising development well that'll be all for today's video here on the channel i do
