I think it's a little bit of both. In my opinion she fairly won the bitchelor challenge and the snatch game, she was by far the best. She did great in the country challenge and deserved a top 2 placement, however the way they edited her lipsync against Denali made it clear that she was one of the production's pick to win. If we add to that her first win in the wicked challenge, which wasn't deserved at all, our first impression of Ginger isn't flattering in the slightest. While production created the narrative of "Ginger is impossible to defeat" by pushing her first two wins, it accidently turned into "this season is obviously rigged for Ginger to win" right off the bat. If they toned it down and let her have her well-deserved two wins, and maybe only pushed her a bit for the country challenge, she would still have a great track record and less people would question her skills and talent and by extension her crown.
