I was just re-watching the first episode and these things struck me regarding Cindy's edit:
1) Cindy is the only player to have three sequences in her opening credit shot.
2) Cindy's first confessional is talking about "not giving up for anything." (re: Bobby Jon, but could reflect on herself)
3) Probst talks about "flint" (fire) for the first time, and we get a shot of Cindy.
4) Probst: "Big stakes." Shot of Cindy.
5) Cindy compares herself to Seabiscuit. (A winner.)
6) Two shots of Cindy leading the stearing of the Nakum boat during the reward challenge (which Nakum wins).
7) Margaret: "The girls are holding up remarkably well." Shot of Cindy.
8) Cindy: "It was a bittersweet victory. We won. We got the fire." (Talking about winning.)
9) Bobby Jon: "I think the girls right now are stronger, physically." Shot of Cindy.
10) Probst: "The game revolves around immunity." Shot of Cindy. "As long as you have it in your possession, as a tribe or as an individual, you are safe."
11) Probst at TC: "Once your fire is out, so are you." Shot of Jim. Then, he says: "Have a seat." Shot of Cindy sitting down (in one of the Final Two seats? Not going anywhere?)
12) Danni at TC: "...but women tend to have a little more endurance..." Shot of Cindy.
13) Margaret at TC: "...the winning position..." Shot of Cindy, smirking. (To me, this one's the most telling.)
14) Cindy shown running energetically up the steps to cast her vote.
Just lots of positive editing for Cindy. Pure speculation.
