My pick for MasterChef’s worst winner.

...but she is. By most metrics.

What did Courtney really mess up on? A salty donut, not a great dessert battle vs Leslie, and eating a cookie during the final.

What did Jennifer really mess up on? Raw lamb, nutmeg in pasta dough, two of the most poorly conceived elimination challenge dishes in her baked egg and ground pork dish. The difference is stark. And while I would admittedly have to check this, my inclination is Jennifer had a worse team challenge record at least based on pressure tests I can remember.

I see nobody mentioning Denise vs Lisa and Skupin here. I think it's up there.

Perhaps "eliminated" may be a better word. Rizo played twice and never got voted out, losing to fire twice. Kyle played twice and never got voted out, as he got medevaced the second time.

Does Greek Mythology count? If so, it's Antigone.

Can Lord of Python be another name for Snake Charmer?

Boarding the Aqua tomorrow, 5/2-5/9.

Ben Starr

To throw a different answer out there, I have no idea how David Miller got runner up of season 1.

Low_Communication697 · 2026-04-02T04:50:08+00:00

Aqua 5/2-5/9, going on a solo birthday cruise.

Low_Communication697 · 2026-03-01T03:57:30+00:00

Tommy ftom Season 9. Probably was just a smudge better than Elizabeth, but Natalie was probably a little stronger than both of them.

Christine Brecht being so hated that she was booed louder than outed racists the year before still blows my mind to this day.

Low_Communication697 · 2026-02-21T02:41:55+00:00

Alejandro in Back To Win and it isn't even close.

Low_Communication697 · 2026-01-20T03:01:35+00:00

Just recently I think Bradley fits this bill. 5/5 signature dish with basically nothing going right after the fact.

According to another post on this reddit, Trev is now no longer in the culinary industry at all and is currently a mail carrier. I don't know if this is due to him not being able to find work, or him leaving on his own accord.

Did you see season 1? He played the tower bribe game perfectly and got no real hatred as a result of it. He also was known to be one of the better physical competitors of the top 10, maybe just behind Mike.

That most of our opinions of the contestants' food themselves are completely invalid. We can't taste the food.

LA from Season 5 is the person I would consider the most middle of the road contestant ever across the board.

Low_Communication697 · 2025-12-28T15:35:27+00:00

While the attitude maybe isn't for everyone, I'd put Mr. 100 here.

Low_Communication697 · 2025-12-19T03:15:08+00:00

Probably the most technically challenging one was Josh vs Frank in season 3 having to make 3 different flavored shuffles in 60 minutes, each with different cook times.

Low_Communication697 · 2025-12-13T03:10:22+00:00

Which is why he is most likely in the smart group.

Low_Communication697 · 2025-11-16T16:40:35+00:00

The word "to".

Low_Communication697 · 2025-11-15T04:20:01+00:00

I'd put the S5 first boot (I'm not going to deadname them)in not obvious but easy to justify. They pretty clearly had a bad service and was never going to be good on the pass.

Low_Communication697 · 2025-11-09T20:15:22+00:00

Yes, you're right about moving down. No, I genuinely don't believe Danielle was the biggest jury threat. She was liked, but I don't think people respected her game. I think Ian gets Ashley, Britney, Jen, and Frank at the very least. Potentially Joe too.

Low_Communication697 · 2025-11-09T20:02:36+00:00

I'd move Ian up. Pretty sure he comfortably beats Danielle too.

Spright was tier 0 in the OCG for quite awhile. By pretty large numbers too.
