We’ve had our attention drawn to two paragraphs in the jury instructions, showing how female contestants receive preferential treatment.
The clauses are these:
4.6 If there are two candidates with equal scores competing for one place
and one is a woman candidate, we ask the Juror to consider advancing her first.
4.20 In the instance of a single gender outcome or an outcome that
significantly reduces the ratio of women to men in the Competition,
there will be a revote for all places.
Got that?
Fair, or unfair?
The finals take place this weekend.
