Alecia Winters was a contestant on Season 9 of MasterChef and was mentored by Aarón Sánchez. She ranked in 19th place.

Personality

Despite having a rough start, Alecia was as strong fighter with an extremely competitive fighting spirit. However, ever since that incident, she felt like she was underestimated and that the her competitors immediately dismissed her as a weak link. Because of this, she was always desperate about proving to the other home cooks that she was worthy to stay in the competition and was not above trying to showboat her skills openly in front of everyone, much to the dismay of the judges, including her mentor, Aarón. This unfortunately caused to her to overlook her poor results that led to her elimination.

Quotes

• (After being eliminated) "I feel like I let Chef Aarón down, but there's many positive things along my journey, like I got to meet some kick-ass people, and definitely some people that I know that I've learned a lot from. No matter what, you keep reaching for it. I'm gonna tell my son, Alex, I'm gonna tell him the same thing. Just because I didn't win, I'm still a winner."
