Christina is my girl: no fuss, takes ownership for her mistakes, feels embarrassed when making one that really shows that she does care and is sure she can do better. No defensive stance to a criticism - just goes and fixes what’s wrong. Way to go for any professional in any field

[@EpicAndrew97]

She did kind of join in on the bandwagon of bullying Barbie halfway through She's still a great contestant but her joining in and doing nothing to stop people from bullying Barbie every day made me lose a bit of respect for her

[@williamhurst9674]

I think that was right after she was stomping the ground trying to wake everyone up because they should be up like her, so I wouldn't respect her either

She's working for Ramsey's organization. I think she's in charge of ALL the Gordon Ramsey restaurants in the US

[@scruffythecat4]

It's crazy to think that Christina was almost the first boot due to her poor performance on the Wellingtons during opening night. Thankfully, Executive Chef Tavon butchered all the scallops and sabotaged the Blue Team. Tavon is the true winner of Season 10.

[@KonoschABC]

christina was really lucky in some way

[@d_xsti3811]

Fr, Tavon actually carried Christina the whole season. So, in essence, Tavon won S10!!! In all seriousness though, yes Christina would have been in serious danger. However, I can’t even name one good thing Tavon did during his short run on the show. She would have been most likely nominated, but Tavon would’ve gotten eliminated by Ramsay despite being on the winning team.

[@Buzzbar94]

Something even from the beginning was Christina's description of the restaurant she worked at. Notice she used "they" and "we" and described the food quality and restaurant rather than making it about her. Her humbleness is such a refresher to see. Especially in the toxic mess that was the season 10 red team. It's so good to see how much she has grown as a chef and as Gordon's Culinary VP. Team Christina!

[@j4g6]

Christina is just too much. But I believe Justin would have had more chance if not for Clamenza sinking him. I already guessed the winner after the service.

[@kekeke4467]

You know a good employee by the language used. A good employee will say we succeeded the team did good and will say x person really did. Well when things go wrong they generally look at what they could have done better. Obviously though there a times when someone does the wrong thing. But the first instinct would be to take responsibility rather than blame another.

[@justinhamilton8647]

From the very beginning he knew she was his winner. Treated her completely differently than the others, when she made a mistake instead of chewing her out like the others he was like “noooo don’t you dare” because his standards for her were so much higher. She’s the best winner by far

I am under the belief that if Red Team had to put up nominations for that first night, Christina would have been up along with Roshni. The fact that Red Team finished their apps (once Roshni was kicked out) saved that team whilst Tavon literally butchered the Blue Team's chances of ever getting apps out. Also, I think that is the closest Christina ever came to losing in the show which just shows how good she really was overall. She's one of the most popular winners for a reason!

One thing that you have to remember. The greatest professionals always struggle through the rigors of their trade. Your greatest chefs, doctors, lawyers, etc never start out perfect. You can't learn new things if you're already perfect. When you struggle you appreciate your achievements more. Christina didn't struggle much but when she did she learned from her mistakes and quickly adjusted. That's what makes her the greatest shift in Hell's Kitchen history. And her being the Vice President of Gordon Ramsay's North American operations... speaks for itself.
