## 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.

Christa was the sixth member of the red team to have their dish judged by Ramsay. She only scored 2 points for her dish being boring. 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. She was later seen studying the menu.

During dinner service, Christa was on the garnish station. She noticed Scarlet was not helping Ali, but instead standing around, and called her lazy. The red team eventually won the service.

### 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.

In the challenge, Christa was paired with Karie. She cooked the soft-boiled and poached. They scored all but the soft-boiled, so score 3 points. The Red Team lost the challenge 10-12, and were punished by prepping squid for a calamari dish in that night’s service.

During dinner service, Christa was working tableside. When Ali continued to fuck up the enchiladas, she expressed frustration and believed she should've been doing tableside on her own. After Ali caused a fire, Christa went over to help her, and they eventually got acceptable enchiladas to the diners. Ramsay later called the pair to the pass and told them to wake up.

Christa had no further problems that evening, and the Red Team eventually won the service.

### 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, Christa was paired with Tia. She deciphered Tia’s dish as being spring wraps, and Tia deciphered hers as being a burger. When faced against Lukas, it was revealed that Lukas’ burger was raw, so Christa won the point. The Red Team won the challenge after a tiebreaker, and were rewarded with a trip to the Venice Beach boardwalk, receiving a zip line experience, and eating lunch on top of the Erwin Hotel. When they returned from the reward, Christa was seen teasing Halle about being on a team that loses.

During dinner service, Christa was on the appetiser station with Lilly. She attempted to take control of the appetisers station. However, she did so in a way that pushed Lilly away and seemed attention-grabbing. In response, Lilly attempted to shout over Christa, and the two got into an argument over who should be doing what, where Lilly called Christa an attention-whore. Ramsay calls out another ticket, but the two both shout over him. Ramsay orders Christa to read out the ticket, but the latter struggles to do so, so Lilly snatches the ticket and reads it out fluently. Ramsay reminds them that they’re doing more arguing than cooking, and that this is slowing the kitchen down. During the post-mortem, Ramsay reminded Lilly and Christa that they were doing more arguing than cooking.

### 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. Christa was paired with Nella. 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. Nella dropped her dish in favour of Christa. For the spaghetti round, Christa won the round against Louis for the perfect seasoning. After a tiebreaker, the red team lost the challenge and were punished by taking in a delivery of 500 pounds of onions.

During dinner service, Christa was on the fish station with Scarlet. At the first table, Christa told Ramsay that the scallops were coming right at that moment. However, Scarlet said one minute, much to Christa's frustration as she was trying to run the station. Ramsay called them over and asked if it's one minute or right now, and Scarlet this time said right now. Ramsay accepted the scallops, but Christa still told off Scarlet for confusing her, leading Lilly to instruct them to keep focused. Later on, Christa told Scarlet that she was cooking one order too many, but Scarlet objects, leading Ramsay to wonder why she sent up an extra order. Christa complained about working with her in the confessionals.

Further into the service, Christa is frustrated by Ali burning a steak, forcing her to start again. When Ali refired her steak, Christa brought up Scarlet's fish, which was overcooked. Ramsay told her to get a grip, and Christa was pissed at Scarlet for screwing her over. Later on, Christa pointed out to Scarlet that her current fish was overcooked, but Scarlet ignored her, leading Christa to outright push her off the station. Lilly noted it and called it unprofessional, but asked what she could expect from a commis.

The Red Team lost the service and had to nominate 2 people for elimination. After the entire team unanimously agrees on Scarlet as the first nominee, Chantelle pointed out Christa and Ali as the two other weak performers of the evening, Ali for struggling on meat with her, and Christa for not taking reins on the fish station to combat Scarlet’s incompetence. Lilly acts as defense attorney, pointing out Ali being very cooperative with Chantelle, while **Christa**'s poor performance wasn't really her fault. Chantelle considered putting **Christa** up on the block in order to ensure Scarlet's exit.

Ultimately, much to her relief, Christa was not nominated.

### 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. Christa rolled and landed on T, so went with tofu. 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, Christa was on the appetiser station with Nella. While cooking the risotto, she was informed by Nella about mistakes she was making to do with the seasoning. She arrogantly told Nella that she knew what she was doing, and ignored her. After sending the risotto up, Ramsay told her that there was too much stock in it, and told her to start again. When going back to the station, Nella asked her why she wasn’t listening to her, to which she didn’t respond. Later on, Nella once again caught Christa doing the seasoning in the wrong amounts, so fixed her mistakes behind her back. This worked and the appetisers went out.

Both teams won the service, but had to nominate two people they thought they could do without. After Ali is decided as the first nominee, Chantelle speculates that the second nominee comes from the appetiser station. Nella called out Christa for not listening to her. Christa claimed that Nella should’ve stuck her voice out more, but Nella said she was being too hard headed for it to be worth the effort. Lilly then pointed out the “secret fixing” thing, which spurs on Christa, who called Nella deceptive. Nella believed it was justified as they had a job to do and Christa’s stubbornness was getting in the way.

Christa was named the red team’s second nominee for her immaturity and lack of teamwork (a comment which Christa rolled her eyes to). With Ali as the first nominee, they joined Robin and Eddie from the blue team. During her plea, she stated that her trust with the team had been shaken after Nella was revealed to have been altering her dishes behind her back. Ramsay asked Nella if it was true, and Nella corrected Christa by stating that she was fixing the mistakes that Christa refused to fix herself.

She survived elimination.
