As a rokie judge, is this a slam of judges or the system. I see this as a "system" issue not that the OP was going either way.
We were told that if you dont like it you still need to taste (bite it) it. Taste it, chew it, rate it spit it out if you are not a fan. She needs some re-education and yes table captain should have been notified.
Actually, the table captain should have seen it with his own eyes. He then should have called the rep over and asked for a replacement judge at that point, the first time it happened on chicken. I assume it also happened on all three other meats.
If this turns out to be the case, then the table captain failed at his job. The times that I have tc'd, I watch the scores and body language and encourge the use of comments cards to the entire table while looking at the person I am directing the comment to and also mention abnormalities to the rep when I hand in the cards. This is especially true when I note a judge consistently give scores that are 2 points less than the rest of the table.
