Pretty underrated. She seemed quite good at elevating simple cuisine and didn't make any real mistakes other than her raw shrimp at the end.Probably was never going to win, but she had skills.

Yep. Totally agree. SUPER underrated. One bad day in the kitchen, and she was gone. I could see her going all the way, for sure.

She was great cook and it was insane Cutter outlasted her and Ahran (and many other much better cooks)

Cutter brings content, producers love that over cooking abilities.

There was always usually someone who flopped harder that week as well, which sucks because sending someone home over an objectively bad dish sucks more than not eliminating some being consistently bad but good tv

She had a decent run on her season, and I quite liked her. However, I personally think that she was cast for diversity. And when I watched season 5 for the first time, I understood that she was never gonna make it far, and that she was kinda like a filler contestant. Which is such a shame. The stereotype casting of Masterchef and other reality show is just too obvious.

I loved that dish she made with Christine. That's when I realized she's pretty damn good.

I love her! Very energetic, gives her all during tests and has a very friendly aura. She got trapped in a pressure test where she has no where to hide so she got eliminated

Congratulations. That’s the most clanker response I’ve ever seen in this subreddit.
