Tracy Hughes-Wolf Watchdog Report! EDITION 1!

First thing to note about Tracy is the fact that, in the opening, every other member of her tribe (and the favorites too) got at least one solo face shot. We saw Tracy twice during Jeff's introduction, and both times, she seemed to be in the background compared to Mary, who was also shown in each of the two shots. Her first shot, she's even more in the background as I believe Mary and Erik both take up the right half of the frame. The second shot comes when Jeff makes his usual "Only ONE will remain" line, but again, Mary was in the foreground of that shot.

She had a rather meh intro shot too.

After the intro, the first shot she gets is, AGAIN, in the background to Mary. Now granted, all these shots have been mainly because they were seated beside one another on the boat, but couldn't the editors have at least thrown in a couple shots on her own?

She gets the second confessional from the fans tribe, and hers is the first one that really talks about Survivor, as opposed to Jason, who talked about wanting to survive out in the wild more than playing the game. She got a couple of smiling reaction shots early on when the twist was revealed and when one of the first favorites came out. She's also the first player to get a second confessional, mainly about hating Jonny Fairplay and wanting to kick his ass (foreshadowing, as he does go home after all). This could either be the start of a "never getting to do what she wanted" arc or just foreshadowing.

She got the high five with Kathy after finding the idol...didn't seem like TOO much of an important scene. Then she's one of the first to comment (in open forum as opposed to confessional) about the favorites, specifically Jonny Fairplay once again. She gets a THIRD confessional which basically is her telling the viewers (it's like she's speaking directly to Sucksters) about how she's a fan and how she didn't just decide she wanted to be on Survivor because it'd be fun. In the second half of the confessional, she talks about how they're out for blood on the favorites to prove themselves, which could have big implications in the event that a major theme is the fans having to prove themselves, or being a REAL fan of the show.

She got a simple line (off-screen) about how to build the shelter and clearing it out, making me assume she's one of the people taking the lead on the tribe. Of course, it could just have easily been someone else, given that it's hard to differentiate voices this early on. She got shown during the Kathy/Chet scene, before Kathy then put her foot in her mouth again by commenting on Tracy's implants (which Tracy then asks her how she's so sure that she has them to begin with. (Also, Natalie did have ONE sentence in that scene, but I still think she's invisible).

She goes to get treemail with Chet (a lot of scenes with her and Chet thus far, perhaps an alliance is in the making?) and she talks about how she's so hungry she'd eat rat guts. This is another instance of her talking about how much she wants to be out there that she'd be willing to do something most people would find disgusting, like eating rat guts (or sleeping in the same shelter as Fairplay). She read the treemail, but that's one of those "You have to show that stuff" scenes. We didn't get one for the favorites though, so maybe it has a little meaning to get her as much screentime as possible.

At the pre-challenge questioning, she got another smiling shot (with Chet in the background and Natalie to the side).

Overall, she got one of the most complex edits on the tribe, and was one of the least ignored.

Rating: MOR3
Winning Chances: Good

Revised Ratings:

Airai Tribe:

Alexis - MOR2 (Interesting, CP confessionals on an otherwise ignored tribe fits the MOR criteria)
Chet - UTR2 (He had face time in the two biggest scenes for the favorites, but not much else)
Erik - MOR2 (A lot of MORs on the tribe, mainly because they were extremely ignored)
Jason - MOR2 (Somewhat of a leadership role, a good amount of screentime)
Joel - MOR2 (He had some interest to his edit, and he wasn't given that over-the-top hero fireman edit)
Kathleen - OTTN3 (Negative putting her foot in her mouth comments, negative SPV, negative crying when she's supposed to be a superfan that loves it out there)
Mary - INV1 (Absolutely nothing from her)
Mikey B - MOR2 (Narrator edit, not much else to say)
Natalie - INV1 (A lot of facial shots, which is irritating, given her freakish face)
Tracy - MOR3 (One of the most tended to members of her tribe, and just like Alexis, she was CP without the real attention to get her a CP rating)

Malakal Tribe:

Amanda - UTR1 (Completely ignored, except for being in the couple foursome with Ozzy)
Ami - MOR3 (She wasn't featured really until the end, but she got some major confessionals)
Cirie - UTR(P)2 (Ignored by both alliances and the editors for the most part, but she had two confessionals)
Eliza - MOR4 (Not CP enough, mainly because this episode was all Fairplay, but close)
James - UTR2 (Part of the couples alliance, but not much else)
Jonathan - CP4 (A lot of strategy talk and a lot of discussion, plus his alliance was featured more heavily)
Jonny - CPM5 (We really got to know what makes him tick and learned about his strategy, plus he had positivity in his last few confessionals about his girlfriend)
Ozzy - MOR3 (Not much to say about Ozzy, although he was more featured than the China half of his alliance)
Parvati - CP4 (A lot of strategy and talking about how her strategy was changed from last time)
Yau-Man - MORP4 (He made fire, he got negative SPV from Jon after he apologized for the boat incident, but there wasn't a lot of CP to his edit)
