Tanya Noble was a contestant on Season 3 of MasterChef. She ranked in 10th place.
Personality[]
Tanya had a very kind and sweet personality and always treated everyone with respect. Despite being a strong and passionate cook, her results were always mixed, as she would sometimes make outstanding dishes but also end up in the bottom on certain occasions. Although she was able to win the T-Bone Mystery Box, she fell into a downwards spiral afterwards, having placed in the bottom 2 of the Tortellini Challenge, and eventually being eliminated after she failed to use a pizza stone properly, and after the announcement that the challenge was going to be a double elimination. She also got emotional very easily, especially when things didn't go her way in the kitchen. Despite this, she never left the good graces of the judges and her fellow competitors and got along with nearly everyone on her season. She was respected by Michael and developed strong friendships with Mike, Christine, and Ryan, but had a dislike towards David due to his narcissistic, "never-my-fault" attitude.

Tanya was not seen during the Rabbit Mystery Box challenge.
During the Pizza Stone challenge, Tanya presented her Lamb Cutlets with Roasted Garlic Yogurt and Olive Flatbread. Although Gordon Ramsay disliked the dish especially, Joe Bastianich was even more outraged when he found out that her yogurt had whole, unincorporated cloves of garlic, which resulted in a scolding by him claiming that Tanya showed no respect for the competition.
Tanya ended up in the Bottom 3 of the challenge along with David and Mike. Although she was initially saved when Mike was eliminated, the judges announced that a second person would be leaving due to the amount of poor performances during the challenge. As a result, Tanya was eliminated due to the fact that she served whole cloves of garlic in her dish.

Trivia[]
Quotes[]
- (After being eliminated) "This has been a crazy journey. Before MasterChef, I was just scared to acknowledge what I wanted in life and coming here just shows me that you take big risks, you get big rewards, and the fact that I made it this far into the Top 10 is massive. I'm so proud of myself."
