I think women have a competitive edge period, if Cowgirl entered, she would win with 8000 votes. She could enter wool and win. If Tish enters that pulled pork in Make it Funky, she will win, I predict it.
I think I'd agree with Bob. Wonder what the probabilities of winning are for women vs. men. That would be too much work to figure out, but I would bet they're vastly different and we're at a huge disadvantage.
