Jim also voted the 'right' way, along with Cochran, so their edits were even more favorable.

I'm not buying this BS that Upolu was punished for not making moves. If that were the case, Bob would have gotten a shit edit too. He didn't. Sophie is ten times the player he is, because she was always in the know. She had control and say in everything that happened. Bob didn't do a god damn thing better than Sophie, yet his edit was far better and always positive. There is a bias against women , its' clear as day.

The only female CP winners are Parvati and PI Sandra, but Sandra's edit was a mix of all kinds of ratings, and techically she's VERY close to being MORP overall.... and while Parvati is the closest thing to a strong CP "classic" winner's edit a woman has ever had, and it happened in a season where ALL the "power players" (Parv, Cirie, Amanda, Tracy, Eliza) were women. ALL other women with strong and undeniably CP edits on the other hand LOST the game. (Kelly W, Elisabeth, Peih-Gee, Kathy, Betsy, Deena, Holly, Dawn, Helen, etc)

Also if there are a certain group of people with high vis and there's a woman who's right behind them I think y'all should pay close attention to her.Danni was right behind Steph/Rafe/Judd/Gary yet she apparently wrecked Edgic back in 05.Sophie was right behind Coach/Ozzy/Cochran but she was still relevant. In a way she was Danni, Brandon was Judd, Steph was Coach, Albert was Rafe. Sophie didn't have a big break out episode like Danni, or positive scenes, positive SPV or basically anything that a low key female winner has. Sophie was constantly toneless because there pretty much was no way to make her positive, she wasn't everyone's bestie and her confessionals were pretty bitchy. Her being toneless was pretty much her being positive. I've listened/read some Sophie interviews and there was no way the general audience would like her. She has a very dry sense of humor and if we saw her in all of that CPN glory it would be like Morascagate 2.0. And before someone hollers BUT PARVATI WAS A CPN BITCH please rewatch post merge Micronesia, Parvati was fun, upbeat, and very ^__^. She was very sharp and strategic too but her edit really isn't omg NNNNNNN.Also, quit it with the CPP5 douchebot winner picks and take this new age of Survivor editing into consideration when you make a winner pick. Edgic is apparently about finding the winner yet ....it COMPLETELY forgets about Jeff who we all know will make anything with a penis the star of the show (Coach, Rob, Russell, Ozzy).Now I'm just awaiting for a male to come along with Natalie White's exact edit and win <3 It's my dream come true.
