Yeah, I saw it the same as you. Tracy did the only thing she could do, considering her two partners are the two weakest tribe members of either team.
Hope the show focuses on her a bit more now. I think I could pull for her if she turns out not to be a bad actor. Seemed like a true “survivor” last night, though.
Tracy Hughes-Wolf isn't yet allowed to talk about her experiences on the show, but she could describe how she prepared for the competition. She spent hours watching old episodes of "Survivor." She studied the techniques of Danni Boatwright, who won "Survivor: Guatemala" and Tina Wesson, winner of "Survivor: The Australian Outback."
This might explain why she was smart enough to do what she did on the last episode.
