At least Amanda saved Snake's life near the end. Paz...betrayed everyone, but she at least did something. Hell, Strangelove contributed more to Motherbase than Cecile did. Seriously, Cecile, all she did was get hammered, perform bird noises and flirt with Snake.

In all fairness, Cecile was the one who got MSF involved in Costa Rica in the first place with that tape of hers, so give her some credit. Not to mention she did give Snake a vital clue to finding a still-operable ID card after Huey's ID was invalidated by Strangelove, so she also had an important role right there. She still did more than Nastasha Romanenko ever did in her debut game, at least (honestly, she was supposed to give Snake pointers in disarming a nuclear bomb should the need arise, yet she doesn't even do that at all when said time actually came and Liquid wired Meryl to a nuclear bomb? Now that was a huge waste!). I don't really like Cecile all that much (her May 1968 tape got on my nerves considering what it implied about France's female population as a result of that depraved event, though to her credit, at least she was likely one of the few characters who didn't buy into Che Guevara's hype based on what she said in reply to Snake in the Sartre tape relating to Sartre's role in Che's "most complete human being" moniker, and she's probably not a communist either.), but I'm one to give credit where credit is due.

Besides, I'm going by characterizations rather than actual roles in the plot.
