The truth is that BB very obviously edits for 'stories' these days, far more than they used to. Sophie, who does not lose her temper and pick fights and was not going to flirt, has no 'story'. So BB were never interested in her. She has never been given a good task - compare Gina's knife throwing or the twins' two comic tasks or Dan's detective task with Sophie's rubbish tasks: pull a face at Sophie! Sophie gets asked four feeble riddles! And compare the endless drama BB GAVE to Dexter and Gina during their safe house week - special tasks, secrets, watching nominations, room service treats, setting tasks for the house - with the no drama or even interest at all they took in Sophie and Sam's week. Have some pasta on a tray that is good enough for Sophie.
If Sophie and Sam had been given all the drama, it would have been interesting and revealing to see how they had dealt with it: how they would have allocated the tasks, what treats they would have chosen, what they would have said about the nominations, how they would have coped with the budget shopping task etc. But BB could not have been less interested in showing us what Sophie and Sam are like under pressure, or in an overtly dramatic situation. In effect, like almost the whole cast of CBB11, they have been edited out of the whole series.
People consistently underestimate to what extent 'doing something' and creating drama is something given by BB and is not intrinsic to the person.”

An intelligent and rational post. Well said wonkey.
