After reading her complete response, it's easy to conclude that she did not think about her question before answering it. Poor wording and a lack of thoughtfulness is a good reason to lose, in my opinion.
Yes, her question was more difficult, but if she had answered it well, that would make her stand out that much more. That's the beauty of challenges, the harder the challenge, the more people are inspired if you complete it. Likewise, she lost this part of the competition, but was still awarded runner up. If she had been given an easier question and still bombed it, she would not have gotten runner up. That's my thoughts on the matter.
