Jennifer Williams was a contestant on Season 8 of MasterChef. She ranked in 16th place.

Personality

Jennifer was extremely passionate and shown to be a fighter. Although she started off strong in the top of the first Mystery Box, her following performances saw her be more flustered, crack under pressure easily, and break down in tears. This sudden change in confidence led to numerous poor performances until her elimination. She had a short-lived running feud with Yachecia over conflicting personalities and the latter's refusal to admit her mistakes, but was loved by all her fellow contestants for her humble personality.

Quotes

• (During the Breakfast Challenge) "I'm pissed right now. Yachecia took me off eggs, but now she goes to eggs, she's not even able to make a egg. Customers are waiting. If we don't get it together, we're not going to feed these people. We're gonna lose."
• (After her team lost the Breakfast challenge) "I'm filled with anger. This is my life. I want this. Now I gotta go on a Pressure Test? I don't think that this is fair to any of us."
• (To Yachecia) "Yachecia, I am upset with you. You should have kept me on those eggs! (Yachecia: You know how many eggs we got sent back?) (Jeff: Your eggs had more sent back.) Your eggs were sent back the whole time! THE WHOLE TIME!!! (Yachecia: What you gonna do is calm down. That's what you gonna do.)"
• (After being eliminated) "This Louisiana girl has made it to the Top 16 of MasterChef. If I can do it, anybody can do it, so if you ever have any question in your mind that you're not good enough or you're not doing something and you're unhappy, change your life. No more debt collecting. I'm not gonna be knocking on doors, I'm gonna go back to New Orleans and I'm going to Aarón's restaurant, I'm gonna take him on that offer, and hopefully one day I'll have a restaurant and it'll be right down the street from him."
