Personality
Stephanie is a part-time college student and part-time fitness model. She and her boyfriend Ryan are dreamy, happy-go-lucky lovebirds who have already decided they want to spend the rest of their lives together. While she initially appears to be nice towards her boyfriend, Stephanie, after getting tired of their poor placement during the first few legs of the race, reveals that she is actually a competitive control freak with a volatile temper that could easily overpowers Ryan in terms of strength despite her size. She constantly blames Ryan for their problems, even if the fault is on her. Stephanie believes that she is better than anyone else on the race but unlike other arrogant and competitive characters on the franchise, she fails to back up her claims, failing to complete most of her challenges without Ryan's aid or thought up poor strategies without Ryan's consent. Her obsession in winning leads to her and Ryan's break up and they spend majority of the season getting on each other nerves. Despite this, the two of them retain their feelings for each other and by the time of their elimination, Stephanie sees the errors of her ways and apologize to Ryan, becoming a couple again.

However, this backfires for the cadets as the daters are the second team to arrive at the Don Box. In the All In, Stephanie hits Ryan with a paddle, sending him off the waterfall, but she manages to take a selfie with both of them, and later taunts him about it. Much to her annoyance, she has to take a picture with the rhino due to Ryan taking too long, but manages to do it with ease getting the daters third place.

She and Ryan manage to break out of jail and build a raft in Shawshank Ridonc-tion leading to them getting sixth place.

When they run to the Don Box, they luckily get a boomerang. However Stephanie becomes so angry at her partner that she boomerang him, and therefore themselves, forcing them to repeat the challenge, but with Stephanie doing it instead because it is a Botch or Watch challenge. Stephanie finds it very difficult to do the challenge herself. They end up coming in last place, but are safe since it is a non-elimination round.

In Darjeel With It, they reconcile when Stephanie shows off her true weakness by struggling under the heat, but Ryan supports her and helps her to not give up. This makes Stephanie feel terrible about how she treated Ryan throughout the race and apologizes. Despite getting eliminated for stopping to make out in the end, they leave on a good note with one another.
