Correct, though I don't understand why either of those conclusions would be confusing.
The reason for not being put in a "judge" position is that history has proven a few times now that such people tend to judge parts of contests on how woke the answers are to divisive questions the left want answered in one direction. Answer something like this: "Marriage should be reserved for a biological male to a biological female" and see how far in the results you get docked. Thus my tagline.
Trump once praised such an "woke" answer on allowing transgenders in his pagent.
“She gave a great answer, a very tough question – on transgender – just the question everybody wants to hear, and she gave a great answer and she really did a great job,” Trump said praising Culpo on Fox and Friends in June 2012.
“It was a very cool answer,” added Trump. “Great, [she] gave a great answer.” -- Donald Trump
