David Williams was a contestant on Season 7 of MasterChef. He was the co-runner-up of that season.

Personality

David was one of the strongest and most talented, consistent and creative cooks of the season coming from a high-end and fine-dining lifestyle. He was always focused in individual challenges and a strong team player. However, his attitude was relatively poor, as he stood out to be perpetually aggressive, hostile and explosive. He was known to be very cocky and trash-talked cooks who he disliked or deemed as weak or out of disrespect. In addition, he would also be easily angered and was prone to frequent temper tantrums when things didn't go his way, as he could irate over small reasons (such as throwing a champagne bottle forcefully to the ground after he couldn't open it), would often let his anger control his performances, and could start pouting and acting like a child on certain occasions. However, he is most (infamously) well known for attempting to quit the competition entirely when he was at the Top 5 after he felt that everybody was against him, which led to everybody losing whatever little respect that they had for him. His aggressiveness and hot-heated behavior sent tremors to the rest of the home cooks as he was strongly disliked by Brandi, Tanorria, Katie and Dan. He made an early friendship with Shaun, before he and the rest of the home cooks turned against him due to his aforementioned behavior. He is debatably one of the worst finalists and runners-up in the show's history due to his horrendous, volatile personality and quitter attitude.
