A reluctant participant is rather confused about where Ubiquity is and what it does. While she gives half-hearted attempts she leans heavily on the Facilitator for help. This can be a good thing, as it shows how many users actually behave.
The Facilitator led the Tester. The Faciliatator felt he was imposing on the tester and "couldn't take the pain" of watching the same mistakes he had seen in previous sessions.
