Added DiffLines:

* CharacterDevelopment: Going from an uncompromising Italian pastry chef to one of the funniest contestants in his season, Damiano goes through quite a bit of character development in his season. This is expressed by Tregaye in the episode Pushing For A Pilot, and Giada in the finale.
-->'''Tregaye:''' I see a huge change in Damiano from day one. He's smiling, and he's speaking with authority. I'm SO proud of him.
-->'''Giada:''' I would say of everybody here, I have seen tremendous growth and probably the most growth from where you started to where you ended up. And I have to tell you, I'm very, very proud.

* HugeGuyTinyGirl: The tiny girl to Yaku's huge guy. Whenever given the chance, they partner up in challenges and consistently stay friends throughout the season. They even play around with this trope in the episode "Show Promos," where Tregaye hides behind Yaku during a presentation, only to make her entrance by stepping out from behind him.

to:

* BerserkButton: When Bobby comments in "Guilty Pleasure Dinner" that her chocolate chip cookie wasn't "chocolatey" enough, she's visually offended and responds by saying she's sold thousands of those cookies. Despite Bobby actually being pretty lenient on his criticism, Erin perceives it as him calling her a bad baker, which she responds to with uncharacteristic haughtiness.
* BreakTheCutie: Her elimination is not the easiest thing to watch. See BerserkButton above.




to:

* KarmaHoudini: Ana should ''not'' be one of the final four contestants. As the others point out in "Tiki Takeover," the two women who partnered with her in past challenges were eliminated the same week. Sure enough, her partner during that particular episode, Joy, is sent home after their presentation goes poorly. Ana is not a bad cook, but she comes across so awkwardly that she ends up weighing down whoever is with her and gets by on her food alone despite being on the bottom more times than any of her fellow contestants.




to:

* OhCrap: Can be seen making this face several times throughout "Tiki Takeover" just because he can't stand working with frozen foods.
* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Frozen Food?]]: Damiano specializes in fresh ingredients, which puts him on the bottom when he fails to do frozen foods justice.


Added DiffLines:

* CaptainObvious: Has a tendency to state things that the viewer is already well aware of. For example, the first challenge of "Guilty Pleasure Dinner" allows the contestants who describe their ideal dish the best to have first pick over the part of the dinner they get to cook.
-->'''Jernard:''' It's important for me to do well in this challenge so I'll get the ability to choose first.
* HurricaneOfEuphemisms: Being the "Chef of Love," Jernard tends to include light sexual undertones when describing his food. He actually goes too far in "Guilty Pleasure Dinner" and ends up in the bottom three.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Jerkass}}: Can certainly come across this way. While most contestants offer a balance of positive and negative insight on each other's methods, Tregaye almost always has something harsh or arrogant to say. Throughout "Tiki Takeover," the way she gloats over the other contestants in the first challenge also gets pretty annoying.
