I'm a bit puzzled as well as to what exactly Rarity must be thinking here. But I also know that we often get ourselves into trouble by trying to guess things before the episodes air simply from the brief synopses we are given. Perhaps Rarity sees AJ do something that suddenly convinces her that she would be a good judge, or perhaps she considers AJ's Element of Harmony in her decision. Or perhaps Rarity just suddenly finds herself desperate for a pony to fill a spot on the judging panel suddenly vacated by an ill pony, and AJ just happens to be standing nearby. Who knows?
