You nailed it.  While I can recognize and not diagnose, it's fair to say 
that the contestant we saw was likely, as they say, "on the spectrum."  
There is a line that someone, somewhere, along that process of vetting 
that you mention, who had to have stopped and wondered if this passed 
the simple test of fairness. 

Hours of footage hit the floor.  Nothing went to air by accident.
