| “ | Second place is just the first loser, you know? | ” |
Rebecca "Becky" Reams was a contestant on Season 3 of MasterChef. She ranked in 3rd place.
Personality[]
Becky was shown to have amazing confidence, lots of passion, and great composure. In the kitchen, she was unarguably one of the strongest cooks of the season, with consistently strong performances in both individual and especially team challenges. It got to the point where the other home cooks were intimidated by her level of skill and ambition. However, she was also shown to be very competitive, and would sometimes act cocky and rude to her fellow competitors. She could also be overly critical, opinionated, and condescending towards anyone she deemed as a weak link, such as Monti, who she believed was unfit to be considered a MasterChef, but did not hesitate to help others when they were in need, such as giving David her packet of rice in Episode 15 when he forgot his rice. Despite her arrogance, she could easily back it up and was respected by her competitors due to her cooking skills. She had some clashes with David and Monti over conflicting personalities, was not a fan of Tali due to his lack of skill, but got along with Josh, Felix, Christine, and Frank.
