Great observation "Rod."  I don't necessarily buy into the whole playing "under the radar" as Cindy's strategy, as much as it is just how she naturally fits into this social group of people.  But let's, for the sake of argument, concede the fact of this being true or not .... when has going "under the radar" won the game for someone in Survivor?  The only time anyone can make a strong claim to this happening would be Ethan.  Once the group gets down to the final four or five, people start to serious think about how the jury will vote for others, and recognize "under the radar" players as threats. 

 

Cindy's "smart" most likely I agree.  "Strong"? ... Strong-minded ... perhaps ... physically ... no ... she might be "tough" physically, but not strong.  "Charming"? ... perhaps in real life, but on the show I don't think this has been shown (aside from you as a viewer, who has she charmed?). "Athletic"?  perhaps, but she hasn't won any challenges.  She hangs in there, and on the most recent challenge, she came in a close second ... but I don't think it proves she's athletic ... tough, yes ... athletic, no.  "Beautiful"? I think she's cute (great smile, cute face, inteligent, great body ... etc, etc etc ...), but beautiful?  May-be spiritually? but I can't say that the show's really focus on her as much to know.  "She is not stepping on any toes" and
she is not being overly vocal".  Again, this goes back to the "under the radar" philosophy.  It will get you far, but only so far ... you won't win from it.

 

My point is, lets not get all bent out of shape and try to choose your words a little more carefully.  She's one of the cuter girls on the show, and she might have a chance at winning, but, she'll have to change her game plan in order to do so if she wants a real chance.

 

That's just my opinion.  People can differ, and I won't get all bent out of shape.  I wish her luck, and hope that she can make it a long ways, and hope that theres a lot of footage and pictures of her and her sexy little body all the way.
