I don't know if all the judges favored her. Joe Bastianich was pretty vocal, especially early on that he thought her visual issues would make her a hazard and a liability in the kitchen. He also didn't initially think she could work up to the standard that the unimpaired contestants did. It took him a reasonable portion of the season to admit that her skill and potential were just as deserved.

I am so scared of spiders that I won't travel to places where I know they are abnormally large/exist in large numbers. This excludes several places I want to go, like the Amazon (and Australia). I have been trying to get over this fear so that I don't limit myself in the long run, but it's pretty much a phobia. A friend recently told me just to go for it and I'll likely never be afraid again if I do encounter the devil creature I so fear. True or false?
