Sophie has had no story.

She's had no focus.

Every other female winner has had some significant SPV or personal story.

Sophie is simply a narrator with zero complexity, zero story, almost zero SPV.

To ignore all of that because she gets one or two MOR-CP borderline confessionals (always about someone else I might add) is absolutely senseless and goes against every tenet of edgic and basic logical storytelling.

Natalie White, the biggest female outlier in terms of winner edits ever, had a greater storyline and personal inclusion within the story than Sophie has.

If she wins (which she won't), it's an entirely new, completely illogical winners edit. She's in the ruling alliance yet has been so ignored. Makes no sense  for a winner.

She's clearly being set up as a potential last minute doubt for Coach's win, as either 4th place finisher or runner up with a few votes. But she's not winning.

Chaperone. Sistafriend. Come along.

Sophie does have a story. It obviously isn't seen as the most important tale to tell this season, but it is being told. The point of her story has been explained in this very thread several times. She is a deliciously TONELESS gamebot who sees through everyone else's bullshit. She is playing the exact opposite of the way Coach is. Coach loves gray areas. He loves grey ones too. Brandon, who Sophie has been linked to several times during confessional time, sees the world in black and white. So does Sophie. She tells it like it is. While Coach tries to build Cochran up so he can win immunity (a move which would result in the exit of the one person who spoke to him on Day 1, might I add) Sophie lets Cochran know that she can't give away Upolu's gameplan. She's a straight shooter who tells Ozzy that she thinks his performance at Redemption Island was pathetic without batting an eyelash. Whether or not people will respect her for this remains to be seen, but let's stop acting like we don't know who this woman is and how she's playing the game. On other boards I frequent, people who were in the "Natalie and Ashley who?" camp last season know who Sophie is and think that she's one of the few people deserving of the title besides Coach.

Considering the backlash when Natalie White beat Russell, I'd say that alone is a job well done by the editors. But that's all I'm giving those fuckers until they cut this lopsided editing bullshit. More eps like tonight's, guys. Apparently Edna and Rick are on this show too!

Here's something little I noticed tonight. Go watch Sophie's win at last week's immunity challenge (the rice on the head one). Then watch Albert's this week.

The camera, within a second, cuts away to the other players' reactions to Sophie's win. The camera stays on Albert.
