This comment card is EXACTLY what the reps have been coaching the judges to avoid on the comment cards.
"Constructive comments that help the cook do a better job" are what are requested. That comment card never should have made it to you. It's worthless and has caused you unneeded concern.
When the judges are coached that the juices run clear the intent of the rules are 'no bloody chicken'.
It's very easy to tell the difference between blood that is soaked up by a paper towel and red seasonings. Try it sometime - they look totally different, even though they may be similar colors.
It is unfortunate that the scores of the other judges may have been affected by the one judge's opinion. Most judges I know actively try to avoid influencing the opinions of the others at their table during the judging process. There's no talking and everyone is to have their poker faces on. Score cards are usually at least attempted to be hidden from view. But if someone has a reaction or calls the table captain over before everyone's score is recorded, I can imagine that having a large impact on the scores of the other judges.
