Food Network Star

She eventually lost the competition to Justin Warner; however, on May 31, 2014, it was announced that she (as well as Chad Rosenthal from season nine) would be a contestant on the Food Network Star spin-off webseries Star Salvation, which gives eliminated contestants a chance to re-enter the Food Network Star competition. Duncan was eliminated from Star Salvation in the second episode of the season.
