Personality[]
Alejandra was a diligent cook who was well respected among her fellow contestants and even appeared to tolerate the antics of Christian. She has a reliable and sweet personality, but was also critical of herself and admitted to her faults whenever she messed up. She was seen as a strong contender to win from the beginning, though she did mess up at times during Elimination Challenges. Throughout the competition, she was seen by a few as a contender to win the whole thing, being in the top three for three Mystery Box challenges in a row. She was also chosen on multiple occasions to be the first pick in several Team Challenges due to her strong palate and easygoing personality. However, she was eliminated when she made the mistake of serving raw pork to the judges in her final Elimination Challenge.
