Paula Caplan over “Darko” Kerim Bey – she was tortured, he was not, so she gets the vote
Jill Masterson over Vijay – she was not an agent while he was, so she gets the vote
Severine over Andrea Anders – both tragic, similar characters, but Severine gets the nod here
Aki over Felix Leiter – Aki was basically asleep when she was killed, so she gets the “win”
Plenty O’Toole over Corinne Dufour – unlike Corinne who was employed by the villain, Plenty had no such connections, AND she is mistaken for someone else when she is killed so she gets the vote
Della Churchill Leiter over Saunders – a truly innocent victim who is not an agent, unlike Saunders, so Della wins here
Lisl von Schlaff over Quarrel – just a rogue man’s girlfriend who gets mixed up with Bond and pays the price, she gets the vote over the CIA/MI6 ally
Paris Carver over Rene Mathis – Paris is not in on her husband’s scheme but pays the penalty for helping Bond stop World War III, for this she gets the nod over Mathis and the QOS screenplay’s horrible treatment of him
