* Both finalists, Michael and Ralph, suffer from this, especially Michael. His fans see him as one of the most badass chefs in the show's history, his detractors accuse him of being a KarmaHoudini and ManipulativeBastard who had no right to win the season. Ralph also gets this due to being a man with major SmallNameBigEgo problems, albeit an attitude he backed up in spades when in the kitchen. The fact that both sabotaged fan favorite Elsie doesn't help matters.

* The season's winner, Ariel Malone, could also qualify. Some fans are genuinely unimpressed by Ariel due to her combative nature and feel that Kristin or Ashley were much better choices for the Season 15 winner. Ariel's defenders, however, often argue that they don't mind having a villainous winner and appreciate how Ariel was able to win the competition despite having a spraint ankle for most of the competition.

* Brynn tends to be considered whiny and annoying and scoff at her talking about her anxiety, while others rally behind her. Some also think that her forming a one-sided enmity towards Trenton really didn't help her, while others find her in the right for being annoyed with him. Some just find her one of the most overdramatic contestants of the season with how much she tended to cry.
* Kiya's split between arrogant bully and not an arrogant bully. A lot of her confessionals involving putting people down, tendency to blame others, and just not one to consider other's feelings have left her with a lot of detractors. Some, however, side with her on these viewpoints. When she started to fixate on Trenton and hate everything he did or said, some sided with her finding him too cocky, while others thought she's not helping herself and saying things like she wants to punch him to be going too far.

* Heather from both Season 16 and Season 18 (Rookies Vs. Veterans). Most people agree that she is actually a fairly solid chef, typically holding her own in services and doing well in challenges (remarkably getting a 5 on her signature dish in both seasons). However, her detractors dislike her fairly crass attitude and mannerisms, and her moments of being a {{Hypocrite}} and NeverMyFault, especially in Season 18 (Rookies vs. Veterans). Her showmance with Andrew in Season 16 (despite him being engaged) also cost her much popularity with both the audience and even other contestants. On the other hand, her supporters point out her moments of being a ReasonableAuthorityFigure, especially towards Aaron's elimination and Kimberly winning a Black Jacket over Andrew in Season 16. Her biggest offense typically comes from surviving elimination over other contestants who are much more well-liked and popular (Heidi in Season 16 and Kanae in Season 18).

Her second is her hypocritical moments almost being perfectly timed to happen after she insulted others, especially in Season 18.

* Mia has become this. People can agree that she was the most consistent of the Rookies, and there's many people who find her attractive. However, some people find her arrogant to a fault, and feared that the season would be rigged for her to win (though this was ultimately {{subverted}} when she faced off and lost against Ariel in the finale). Her tendency to [[NeverMyFault push the blame around]], such as with Chris on opening night, can rub people the wrong way too. In particular, the time she blamed [[EnsembleDarkHorse Kanae]] for her mistakes on fish after Tilly Ramsay's birthday service didn't help.
* Motto. Initially starting as an EnsembleDarkhorse due to his NiceGuy personality and his quit being seen as graceful, some fans have started to point out that Motto likely wasn't going to make the finale, and felt that he quit to save face. Additionally, there are a few fans that believe that he wasn't as nice of a guy as fans make him out to be, as he did join in on bullying [[ButtMonkey Trev]], although in all fairness, Trev had been burning his bridges lately.

help. Another party also exists that likes that she was a Base Breaking Character, and use her as an example of how not to compete if you expect to make it to the final two, because Mia's behavior during the competition influenced a lot of her team picks and how willing said team was to work for her.

* Tara as well. Initially starting out as an EnsembleDarkhorse for being one of the only competent 40-Somethings of the season, she would reach Base-Breaking status after Mindy was eliminated. While some fans felt bad that Tara was being targeted due to her age, others pointed out that she was making legitimate mistakes, which gave the younger chefs a decent excuse to put her up.

Another thing that made people have issues with her is she would be extremely hypocritical, bashing the 20somethings for behavior she was the one actually doing, but she did seem to mellow out towards the end of the competition.
