“

At the end of the day, it's a competition. Everybody's an enemy at some point.

”

Daniel "Dan" Collado was a contestant on Season 6 of MasterChef. He ranked in 18th place.

Personality

Dan had a nice personality and was easily one of the most handsome male cooks in the show's history. He was also a cunning strategist, always thinking one step above the others, and was always taking the competition seriously by being cautious when making friends and enemies. In the kitchen, he had plenty of passion and potential and showed himself to be an early front-runner until he withdrew from the competition entirely due to a family emergency.

Trivia

He is the first cook to hold two different occupations prior auditioning.
He is the second contestant to withdraw from the competition, following Gordon (Season 5).
- He is also the first to withdraw due to personal reasons rather than medical reasons.
  - By extension, he is the first contestant with a Mystery Box win to withdraw from the competition.
He is the lowest ranked contestant in American MasterChef history to not only have a top entry in a Mystery Box challenge, but to be the winner of said challenge, at 18th place.
- However, this is likely only because he withdrew from the competition.
