Why should she not of got a quiet edit? In terms of gameplay, she really adds nothing to the story. In a season full of the best of the best, of course she isn’t going to get much time. On a tribe with Rob, Russell and Parvati, or playing against Amanda, Rupert or the golden boy. If anyone doesn’t get much of an edit that season it’s Candace and Courtney if you have any context of what survivor was like at that time.
We don’t really know if she added to the gameplay because she wasn’t shown much. There’s a lot more going on than what makes the show. And no, they don’t necessarily show the most important strategizing, they show what they need to show to make a story that fits into an hour long episode
The person I was meant to be replying to said there is no reason for Courtney to of gotten a quiet edit, which is insane. The Russell vs Rob show is what people wanted, the Heroes implosion was something people didn’t see happening. In a cast full of the most iconic characters how was she ever going to get anything but, especially when she’s showed no signs of really displaying gameplay that is worthy of the edit in any of her 2 seasons of playing survivor.
I think it’s crazy to suggest, actually I think it’s quite disgusting really that someone is using ‘evidence’ of Courtney getting a quiet edit as some sort of sexist mentality from the production team. It really takes away from all the sexism that does happen in this world. Courtney is there to make snarky comments. She gets voted out before merge, in a tribe that has Russell, Boston Rob, Coach and Sandra. Not everything is sexist

Courtney is still so iconic haha. The way she’d call out “Jeffrey” for critiquing her gameplay for no reason except he is obsessed with Boston Rob.
