Well, as to:

Fact One: Someone as "smart" as she is now being sold would have known better than to be the first to do anything at that point, whatever guess she may have had about what others were doing. It is an established Survivor premise that making yourself conspicuous early is just not a good idea. I mean, would Rob M. have done that? I think not. That was an intrinsically bad move. She was lucky it hit Jon, but not her.

Fact Two: Kicking off a "physical threat" in the FIRST boot is idiotic, and that has been proved time and again. You don't dump your "physical threats" (aka your physical strengths in team ICs) until close to merge. First round: moronic.

Fact Three: No, no one wanted to do it, but all those who are raising Stephenie (and why can't she just spell her name right?) to superstatus are claiming her as this "awesome, strong" woman. I wouldn't argue that she *may* have had the same leadership skills that Tom does for Koror, but, if so, that makes her even more pathetic and rather disgusting in my view. OK, if someone can't run the team, they can't. BJ, for instance, lovely as he is in every way, is clearly just not a leader. Fine. Stephenie clearly *wants* to tell people what to do (especially when she ruined what little chance BJ had of handling the sliding puzzle) and could tell them coherently, and could persuade them do it, by and large, but will not. Why?

Because she's playing a chickenshit game. I hate a coward, and that's her game: the coward's game. Voting out potential leaders, while refusing to do the job yourself, even though you know you could. Not taking the lead on anything. Not even the swimming puzzle. While, in the meantime, supporting the elimination of the strong and the smart. Disgusting. Either step up or let someone else lead, but intentionally weakening the team from vote one without filling the vacuum, while whining about never winning: Loathesome.

I don't think it is backed up by "editing" or speculation. I think it is backed up by what we've actually seen on the show -- just references to what she's done as shown on the broadcast shows. This may be a difficult concept for some, though.

And, yes, she is a physical badass. My point is that she is an idiot, both as a Survivor player and in terms of mental challenges, and that on those terms, BJ either matches or surpasses her. Plus he is even more of a physical badass.

As for superior female Survivor players (I note that "hotness" and likeability are not taken into account here, and also these are just off the top of my head -- there could be a number more), they are legion. For example: Kelly W., Sue, Tina, Jerri, Kim P., Gina, Vee, Neleh, Kathy, Helen, Deena, Jenna M., Sandra, Ami, Twila...
