Expanding on Kid's rebuttal, I'll grant that Katie probably played well in the dodgeball match (there was presumably a reason why the Bass played her in all five games) but everything else is pretty shaky, ranging from speculative to irrelevant to downright erroneous.

Yes, Katie and Sadie lasted half the night in the Awake-a-thon. But since that challenge lasted nearly four full days, conking out halfway through the first night isn't particularly good.

She most definitely did not dance well in the talent show auditions. Judging by their teammates' reactions, most of them thought that Katie and Sadie's dancing was appalling.

As for finding the bear cave, they surely just stumbled upon it, since it was already getting dark when they found it. (And don't forget that, according to Sadie, Katie has a poor sense of direction.) And we really have no evidence that Katie was "easily" able to sleep in the cave. The evidence only shows that she held up better than Sadie, but that doesn't necessarily say much.

As for the Playa de Losers episode, are you really going to suggest that it was good gameplay for Katie and Sadie to vote against Leshawna simply because they think she's fun to be around? Remember that their votes against Leshawna were the only legitimate ones.

Your claim that Katie and Sadie would have found the case in TDDDDI if they weren't crazy over Justin is pure speculation. Besides, you can't just ignore the fact that they were crazy over Justin, and that obsession crippled their ability to focus on the task at hand. That's not exactly the mark of a strong player.

But that's not all. In all your litany of Katie's supposed achievements, you said nothing at all about her social game. That's because she had no social game to say anything about. She had little interaction with anyone besides Sadie, who doesn't really count because that was based on prior history.

Bottom line: Katie's job description in TDI was "one-joke cannon fodder", and her (lack of) gameplay reflects that.
