Personality
Jennie was shown to be a kindhearted and loving individual, while also being a very ambitious cook, which at times was to her detriment. She started off the competition strong, being in the top 3 of the very first Mystery Box. However, she proceeded to struggle later on in the competition, and soon became inconsistent. This, along with her growing mistakes lead to her elimination.
