She goes invisible for half of the episodes despite being a finalist

You can also say the same thing for the Surfers who went through zero development and were non-existent for much longer than Beth.

''How on earth is anyone supposed to root for her? One of the worst protagonists the series by far imo''

Still better than Shawn & the Police Cadets (mostly MacArthur) at least to me.
