## Personas

### Episode 1

Upon arriving in Hell's Kitchen, there was a proof of commitment. Afterwards, Ramsay told the chefs to cook their signature dishes.

Chantelle was the second member of the red team to have their dish judged by Ramsay. Ramsay deemed the dish "truly amazing", and she scored a perfect 5. The Red Team won the challenge 30-28, and they were rewarded with a trip to Catalina Island with Ramsay on board a yacht, and a zip lining experience. While on the zip line, she called it amazing as she took in the view. She then noticed Nella stuck on the zipline, and was amused by it. She was later seen studying the menu in the dorms.

During dinner service, Chantelle was working tableside. When entrees were struggling to come out, she offered to come back into the kitchen to help. Ramsay agreed, and she was directed to the fish station by Lilly. While Ali accepted her help, Scarlet said they didn't need it, but Chantelle just called her delusional. Chantelle sent up her fish, it was cooked perfectly, and Ramsay thanked her.

Eventually, the Red Team won dinner service, and while being dismissed, Chantelle said she was glad the Red Team pulled together that night.

### Episode 2

The next morning, at 4:32 am, the chefs were asleep in their beds, when a group of Japanese taiko drummers snuck into the dorms and woke everybody up. Sous Chef Jay appeared and told everyone to head downstairs to meet Ramsay, who stated that the opening service was memorable for all the wrong reasons. He then introduced the Egg Relay Challenge, in which the chefs would form pairs to cook four egg dishes, which were poached, soft-boiled, sunny side up, and scrambled. However, Chantelle was asked to sit out, being the strongest performer of the previous night.

The Red Team lost the challenge 10-12, and were punished by prepping squid for a calamari dish in that night’s service. Chantelle was given the option to sit out of the punishment as well, as she couldn't participate in the challenge, but she declined the offer, as she felt bad for her team. She was disappointed that she had to sit out as she felt she could've helped a lot more in the kitchen than out of it. She was later seen exhausted in the dorms.

During dinner service, Chantelle was on the garnish station. She was not seen that night, as she didn't seem to have any problems. The Red Team eventually won the service. During the post-mortem, she mentioned the possibility of a team switch, and how it would be an awesome opportunity.

### Episode 3

The next day, the chefs went downstairs to find the lights dimmed, like at elimination. Then, Ramsay said that the errors from the previous night were all because of poor communication from both teams. After a difficult decision, he ordered Ali and Lukas to step forward, and told them that he could not work with chefs that would not communicate. After, Ramsay told them to take off their jackets. However, instead of being eliminated, they received new jackets for the next challenge, and Sous Chefs Christina and Jay gave the other chefs new jackets. Ramsay explained that for the Jacket Challenge, each chef had one recipe on the back of their jacket, but the only way they could properly cook them was that one of their teammates would read it to them.

In the challenge, Chantelle was paired with Karie. She deciphered Karie’s dish as a frittata, and Karie deciphers hers as Spaghetti and Meatballs, which frustrated her, as she wanted to do something more challenging. When faced against Josiah, while both impressed, Chantelle won the point. After all the dishes are judged, Chantelle’s dish was deemed the best, and the women were rewarded with a trip to the Venice Beach boardwalk, receiving a zip line experience, and eating lunch on top of the Erwin Hotel. In the lunch, Chantelle compared themselves to royalty as a lot of the ingredients were very expensive.

During service, Chantelle was working tableside. She was unseen that night, as she had no apparent problems. The Red Team won the service.

### Episode 4

The next day, Sous Chefs Christina and Jay came into the dorms, gave the chefs coloured jerseys, and told them to head downstairs. Arriving at a football field, Ramsay explained how football was considered an American Classic, and revealed the American Classics Challenge. Each team would grab footballs for ingredients to use for macaroni and cheese, pizza, burger, and spaghetti, and both teams would be working in pairs. Chantelle was paired with Ali. Then, Ramsay gave both teams 30 seconds to decide which pair would be cooking which dish. After, Ramsay launched the footballs in the air for the chefs to collect in five minutes. After five minutes, the chefs had their ingredients picked, and Ramsay brought them back to Hell’s Kitchen to cook their dishes. After 40 minutes of cooking, Ramsay revealed that he would be judging only one dish from each pair, and asked the chefs to decide what dishes would be dropped. Ali dropped in Chantelle's favour. For the mac and cheese round, Chantelle was up against Chas. Hers was criticised for the unusual execution, and whilst she tried to argue how the dish could work, Ramsay ultimately gave the point to Chas.

After a tiebreaker, the Red Team lost the challenge, and were punished by taking in a delivery of 500 pounds of onions. Chantelle moaned to herself about Ramsay not seeing the potential of the dish, leading Nella to suspect that Chantelle had grown a bit of an ego due to being in the spotlight a few times.

During dinner service, Chantelle was on the meat station with Ali. When entrees rolled around, she claimed to be pumped as it was her time to shine. She asked Ali to look after the pork dishes on the ticket, but due to the latter's concerns over her overconfidence, Tia pointed out that Ali's pork was burning, so Chantelle rescued it. While Ramsay complimented them for the temperature on the pork, Chantelle still expressed concern over Ali’s struggles with multitasking, claiming it may drag them down. After Ali burnt a steak, Chantelle claimed her concerns have been justified. However, Ali bounced back. The Red Team eventually lost the service as the Blue Team finished 3 tickets ahead.

During deliberation, Chantelle nominated Ali and Christa, Ali for struggling on meat with her, and Christa for not taking reins on the fish station to combat Scarlet’s incompetence. While the debate over whether Ali or Christa should go up continued, Chantelle considered the idea of Christa going up on the block in order to guarantee Scarlet’s exit.

Chantelle gained announcer status, and was not nominated for elimination. Upon being dismissed, she said that while they lost that evening, she wasn’t concerned, as she was still on top.

### Episode 5

The next morning, the chefs went downstairs, where Ramsay told them that they have to be creative while thinking on-the-spot, before revealing a craps table. For the Craps Challenge, each chef would roll a die once, and choose an ingredient starting with the letter it landed on. Chantelle rolled and landed on T, so said teriyaki sauce. Both teams had 30 minutes to cook their dishes, and the Red Team were overall focused and ready to go. Their dish was complimented for the cooking of the salmon and the classic flavours brought to it. Ultimately, they lost to the Blue Team’s unorthodox duck dish, and were punished by having to prep both kitchens for the following dinner service.

During dinner service, Chantelle was on the meat station with Lilly. When a communication breakdown between Ali and Lilly occurred, Chantelle was mostly mad at Ali for fucking them up. Later on, Lilly hopped over to the garnish station and asked Chantelle to look after what was already there. When Lilly was questioned, she mentioned that she trusted Chantelle to look after the station.

Both teams won the service, but had to nominate two people they felt they could do without. Chantelle speculated that the second nominee after Ali would be someone who was on the appetiser station (Christa or Nella). Otherwise, Chantelle was ignored.

She was not nominated for elimination.
