In both cases having the first quality (charm/lack of intelligence) doesn't necessarily mean that the other qualities they may imply are strongly present.

I would suggest that Sophie also used charm.

It would be very interesting to see the percentages for Week 9 when we had everyone involved in the positive vote. My theory is that Sophie was already popular at that point – long before the HL edit focused upon her lack of intelligence.

Sophie had some charm, but I would call it more cuteness. That would appeal maybe more to the male part of the audience. I think the innocent part had a more general appeal, although of course it always helps if a HM can look conventionally attractive as well.

I don't deny that she had some humour too, some intentionally some maybe not. I don't think on it's own though that was really enough for her. Humour I think was more central to Marcus.
