The best outcome would be for this to result in 'subtitles'  being made available to everyone or no one and for that to be codified in the rules. The mistake here was for the production to agree to an unreasonable adjustment.

Try this, watch the first cash builder on The Chase, see how many questions you get right before the answer is revealed on the show. Now watch the second cash builder with subtitles, it's so much easier because you can probably skim read the question in your head much quicker than Bradley Walsh reads it out loud. That extra thinking time makes a big difference, or maybe I'm just neurodivergent or maybe everyone is.

I'm not sure I'd be that happy to be on a quiz show and find out that another contestant gets to see the questions written down if that option wasn't available to me.

Live subtitling, or at least subtitling revealed at a speed analogous to Amol Rajan's speaking speed, would likely eliminate that advantage.
