She is considered the underdog because she is the only one left from her group. IT has nothing to do with the items she won. The AC she had no control over and the plasma tv was the luck of the draw it could have easily been Bo he opened first. The trip...well she was the only one smart enought to go for the safe and not the POV. She was told she would be safe so she took a chance. SInce it was the 6 friends, I am surprised none of the rest went for the safe.
