Personality

Tracy started the competition on a very emotional note, though true to her practice, she was able to stay calm under pressure.Tracy started the competition on a profoundly emotional note, competing on behalf of her family. After receiving three yes's from the judges for her smothered chicken signature dish, she was noted from the beginning to be a strong contender. Tracy was skilled in both Southern comfort food and desserts, having made the only dessert in the egg Bootcamp challenge. She showed her range outside of Southern cuisine, being praised during the Chinese mandarin orange Invention Test as well. Despite a promising start, Tracy struggled through the rest of the competition, most notably breaking down in tears during the cupcake Mystery Box, when her cupcake fell apart. She eventually got sent home in a double elimination alongside Jake after failing to impress with her raviolo. She was noticeably proud of her Southern heritage, citing that she wanted Whitney to win and bring it home for the South.

Quotes

• (After being eliminated) "One thing that this competition has shown me is that I have a bright future ahead and I have a lot to offer to the culinary world. I love to bake and so, there could be a little bake shop in my future. I have my mom's cook book. I may just need to get some inspiration from that. The point is that the world has not seen the last of Tracy."
