I've posted elsewhere that it was more than just a 'wobble' that Jadine had that evening.
When you consider the pressure they appear to have worked under - some weeks shooting two tasks and boardrooms in 6 or 7 days, I can understand why she felt stressed and was missing her daughter. However, speaking as a woman who has sometimes to work under pressure, and with people I don't necessarily like, I don't feel Jadine could hack it. She talked the talk, but isn't ready for the kind of high powered working life that SA would expect of her - or that he pretends to expect.
If she'd shed a few tears that evening and then pulled herself together and helped Lohit with the task, Tre would've had no reason to take her into the boardroom. Tre's 'ruthless' streak left him when it came to the choice - he let Simon off the hook due to their friendship - but maybe it was more the feeling that Jadine was not going to cut the mustard as time went on.
If Jadine was truly up for it, knowing that winning the task was essential, she would've pulled herself together, so on balance, she was the right person to fire.
