NOVPUBChapter 890: Chapter 890: Unworthy of being a Judge_1 Chapter 890: Chapter 890: Unworthy of being a Judge_1 “The confounding factors would all lie with Jenny Kirk.
Our arbitrary interruption of the competition, which is completely detrimental to Cindy Clarke as the victim, would be influenced, creating a similarly unfavorable situation for her.”
“The public opinion would be elusive to propel at that point.” Adrian Zhekova said in a deep voice.
“The purpose of letting the judges score before sealing the vote is to prevent discretionary changes in the scores,” Adrian continued, “Interrupting the competition, won’t be necessary if we don’t alter the scores.
But if we do, we lose the spirit of fairness we originally upheld.”
“And, it’d mean that we’d influenced the judges’ scores,” Adrian continued, “This is unfavorable both to Cindy, and the Pingla Competition.”
We were the affected, and would have otherwise created a groundswell of public sympathy.
He really wanted to halt the competition straightaway and have the judges re-score, but this would only have an adverse effect.
He knew, at this point, the best thing to do was nothing.
...
But however advantageous, it wouldn’t change the unfairness Cindy suffered.
Indeed, Cindy’s inward feelings were far from being as composed as she appeared on the outside.
She was not feeling wronged, she was just angry.
Cindy believed she had no reason to feel resentful because of Jenny Kirk.
She was livid at Jenny for her outrageous and unscrupulous conduct.
Selfishly manipulating the judges’ authority to lowball her scores!
If she’d truly performed poorly, she’d have accepted it!
But this was clearly not the case!
Cindy was also angry that Jenny had ruined the Pingla Competition!
Since its inception, the Pingla Competition has always stressed fairness and impartiality.
Also, the previous rounds of the competition had maintained a good reputation.
However, it’s such a shame that during the final round—this crucial stage—the competition was spoiled by Jenny’s scoring.
It started so promisingly, only to end in a fiasco.
Although the competition had been conducted so well, it failed at the end, causing disappointment.
Cindy burned with anger at Jenny for ruining the entire Competition out of personal spite.
By forcing her into the last place, would the other contestants be happy with their victory?
Would it be a dignified win?
The people of Pingla are very proud.
Winning the competition in such a way, they wouldn’t even want it.
Therefore, besides Cindy, the expressions of Parker Honi and others were also quite negative.
They didn’t even want to hear the scores anymore.
But, the scoring had to continue. 𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
Grace Green mustered the courage and picked up the score results from the second box.
Cindy’s scores were all around 8.8 or 8.9.
Until Jenny Kirk’s score was pulled out.
As expected, Jenny’s scores were all very low overall.
Before announcing the scores, Grace first found Jenny’s rating for Cindy.
A quick glance at the result, and Grace’s heart plummeted.
Currently, they were broadcasting live and Grace didn’t even have the chance to ask the organizers whether to continue or not.
Grace could only continue reading the scores.
During the announcement of others’ scores, the audience was already used to it.
Jenny’s scoring style for this round continued as it had in the last.
All in the high sixes.
Until Grace read Cindy’s scores: “Cindy Clarke, 3.8.”
This score, Jenny seemed to misuse it for a cheap shot.
Not only did she lowball the score, but also gave her a “three-eight” (a derogatory Chinese slang).
The audience was outraged.
“What is Jenny Kirk doing?!”
Cindy’s fans stood up, shouting towards the stage: “Is the competition seriously still allowing Jenny Kirk to score?
What type of score is she giving?!”
“Unfair!
Jenny Kirk is not fit to be a judge!”
