Hi. My favourite activities include pole vaulting, motorcycle riding and lion taming. My favourite fruits include sapote, grumichama and rollinia. My favourite flowers include the rafflesia. My favourite snacks include barbequed crickets and toasted fish eyes. I am at pains to demonstrate to you all how exotic I am. Either that or I'm subtly making fun of the 'my favourite things' column.

[EggMan]

"competitive, yet forgiving" -- that's always a recipe for success. I'm sure her teammates will *love* being forgiven.

[McDec3]

Fipe, I totally hope that you are right about the making of fun "favourite" lists. That would make me love her.

Because if I ever went on Survivor, I would do that.

[superpole2000]

The fake favourites list probably means that she thinks she's funnier than she is. Her answers were a bit over the top. She could use some work on her subtlety.

But I'm cutting her some slack because she's 43 and looks incredible...and it took me a couple of minutes to move my eyes off of her photo and actually read her fake favourites.

[Samack]

Her favourites read part tongue-in-cheek, part genuinely eccentric. Her favourite authors include both Robert Heinlen and Flannery O'Connor? If that's a joke, it's one that'll tear the universe apart. It would great if she was actually odd because an athletic, odd woman over forty would be virgin ground for Survivor.

[CletusMusashi]

All of the silly answers are jokes, and all of the cool answers are real. Because I am also cutting her as much slack as she wants right now as long as she looks like that. Seriously, screw the million dollars. Can I just go live on an island with her?

[El Guapo]

It's rumored that she was originally cast for Jack Donaghy's NBC show "MILF Island."

[SeaBreeze341]

Can I just go live on an island with her?

If she looks that good now, imagine how she'll appear at season-end?! I'm with you, CletusMusashi. Meh, but fuck it; as long as I find trouble taking my eyes off of her, fuck it!

[Dale]

Well, she hates Fairplay and at least will be happy not to be seeing him again next week. Anyone who'd want to kick the guy in his shins has my vote of confidence.

Plus, she's a VA girl, is she not? I used to live in VA, so that also wins her my early love.

[CletusMusashi]

Dear CBS: Thank you for using up all your pixels last year on Amanda's wedgie so that I can enjoy Tracy's nipple outlines this season.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, and thank you.
She also seems to have a likeable personality so far, but honestly? As long as she doesn't club Yao-Man to death or something like that she can probably get away with anything she wants as far as I'm concerned. I have found true love, her name is Tracy, and I want Billy to be my best man.

[svarlo]

Ok, the moment she uttered the words, "he's a loser pig", I knew Tracy and I were meant for one another. Then, when I saw the nipples, I began to have second thoughts...

[CletusMusashi]

Oh, I had many thoughts...

[ChiJeff]

Right. She made me laugh and earned some respect from me with her Fairplay hate.

[Samack]

I hope her Edit of Slight Prominence means she'll last. I have nothing to go on here but I have a good feeling.

As a forty-something woman, I always root for the forty-something women -- but then they turn out to be crazy, or pathetic, or annoying, or all three (...Denise) -- I hope Tracy doesn't let me down. She seems cool so far.

[Dale]

She seems so nice. Why on Earth is she an Airai outcast right now?

Seriously those kids are dumb.

[almightyisis]

Wow, this chick is making the rounds of the reality shows. I'm pretty sure she was on Property Ladder. She and a friend started a business to flip houses. Its not mentioned in her bio, hmmmm I wonder how that turned out?

[CletusMusashi]

She might be more on the outs because she's married than because she's "old." If she were ooing and ahing over the alpha males I suspect she'd be a lot more popular.

[Orihara Kaoru]

I was really impressed with Tracy during this episode. It looks like she took charge of her trio of outcasts and directed them on how to build an awesome shelter all the while being cooperative and non-bossy. In other words, she's got real survival skills and knows how to play a social game (and stay out of the dreaded leadership role).

I also think that if it were man like Joel or Mikey B (god, what is with that name?) or whomever who had managed to design and build a shelter like that, there would be a lot more focus from the editors and Jeff Probst at TC about their shelter-making awesomeness. But Tracy's a girl, so let's not focus on trivial stuff like that. ::eye roll::

Anyway, Tracy's now my favourite from the "fans".

[OneGeek]

I was impressed by her this episode. She seems to be nice, hardworking and sane.

I hope she goes far.

[Oholibamah]

Homegirl. Is. Way. Too. Fierce.

I finally have a fan to love! That was one of the best powerplays ever and one of the most satisfying tribal councils ever. Go Tracy!

[Mallinder]

Homegirl. Is. Way. Too. Fierce.

Oh, snap. That is how you play Survivor, you bunch of baboons.

[MollyMartian]

Oh man, did Tracy ever bring the awsome tonight. Way to play the ape into your hand, clever lady!

[Hot Pink]

I finally have a fan to love! That was one of the best powerplays ever and one of the most satisfying tribal councils ever. Go Tracy!

Seriously. I am in love with Tracy.

[hegellite]

For my money, the best strategic move of the season, so far. Moreover, she could teach Cirie a thing or two about how to get your way without browbeating and bullying. Joel is dumb, but the way she played very specifically on his dumb fears was very, very good.

At this point, I hope she snakes everybody, because I am sick as hell of the "Favorites," and she's the only Fan who's done anything interesting this season at all.

[Ashe]

Wow! That was AWESOME! She totally got rid of Mikey B. without putting a target on herself! Fantastic move!

So . . . first, she calls JFP a "loser pig," says how much she'd like to kick him in the shin, endears herself to her tribe by helping them with their shelter, and now orchestrates the booting of a stronger player to save her ally?

Love Tracy. LOVE!

[BakerBaker]

Something tells me this tribal switch next episode is gonna help her TONS! She might even be a more sneaky threat than she is now. Anyone who orchestrates Mikey B. vote off is in my book. Love her so far.

[killercoconut]

I want her and Johnathon to join forces. Not only could they win Survivor but probably end human dysfunction and suffering when the show is over.

[cade87]

I'm impressed, but not that impressed. She certainly did a good job playing on Joels insecurities, but Joel isn't that smart either. It looks like the tribes are shuffling next week, which will hopefully work to her advantage, but if they aren't shuffling it really just seems like a temporary fix to her problem.

Still, it was delightful to see someone in the minority actually fight for themselves and manage to do what they intended to do. She's the most impressive "fan" thus far, and looking back on her move, it was probably her best option.
