Dawn's dishes looked amazing but her process really screwed over her team. At some point she and her team should have said, we need to nail down this dish to properly fit in with the rest, and you just have to make a decision and go with it (similar to the recipe writing in the following episode). Similar to when Kristen went home for Restaurant Wars, you could argue that Dawn should have as well.
