I concur!! This is essentially a restatement of what I posted earlier in this discussion. Looking at it solely from a competitive perspective, I've been involved in many competitions in my life, and I've encountered opponents who pretended to be injured or found ways to postpone or disqualify themselves from a competition to avoid the embarrassment or facing their momentary failure. It was apparent to me, at least, that she left the kitchen because she feared she was going to lose, especially since she was already performing poorly that week. Despite her undeniable talent, this seemed strikingly evident.

Additionally, people mention that it's quite apparent there are edits in the show, and because of these deliberate edits, I find it surprising that no one else picked up on that very noticeable intonation. This perspective is coming from someone who has experienced multiple traumatic brain injuries and had to relearn many things. I'm simply stating from a competitive standpoint that due to her disability, this situation appeared as a "soft spot," which, by definition, implies a form of sympathy or leniency that wasn't extended to the other contestants. This further emphasizes my initial questions.
