When you have the ok to run into the basement to run ideas by them and them run ideas by you and get an official thumbs up, you're tainted as far as contestants go. We won't ever fully know what was spontaneous or endorsed. She was given at least 3 pep talks to keep her in the game.She was "running to the basement" to work with production. None of the rules were clear, so she'd get them to sign off on her hijinks and to give them a chance to tell her no.
She earned her prize at the end but I'm not going to pretend she wasn't basically working for production to a point. If anyone was making basement runs this season to run ideas by production people would want their head on a spike and that probably goes for any future seasons as well because it is inauthentic. It's more something for a non-shitty plant to do.
