Naturally inquisitive, bold and daring, crime writer, life saver and risk taker.

In Episode 1 Tammy seems to be friendliest with Gabe, Robert, Neleh although she interacts with the rest of her tribe in a friendly manner.

CBS posed shots show her in black narrow-brimmed hat. Another shows her carrying water jug in original promo. On the ship she is wearing an orange/pink stretch t-shirt with a ruffled edge on the sleeveless shoulder, black shorts, blue Rotu buff as a do-rag, black leather necklace with a coin pendant, earrings, and black and white sneakers. Her first spoken line spoken while in the raft is, "Guess what? We haven't moved at all for like the last half hour." While the Rotu tribe are trying to paddle in from the ship, she and others start chanting, "Rotu, Rotu" getting a rythym started for rowing. During intro she is shown wearing black, double earrings and a watch while standing in a jail, and in another shot cracking open a coconut with a machete. She, John, Robert and Gabe are seen carrying the crate of supplies on to the shore. In voice over she is wearing a black tank with light blue on the shoulders and says, "We made it the first part of the way! Our crate had no food." She and Gabe hug. Group hugged with Gabe and Paschal. She is then seen helping to open the crate. She and Gabe look over the map of the island to find water. Then she helps Kathy and John and then others try to start the fire, bringing the straw and holding it. She has changed her buff to a headband. Voice over "We didn't get fire the first day, which sucked."

Next day everyone treks up the mountain in search of water, Tammy is third in line wearing black sport bra, long black pants and gray and white keds. Waterfall is discovered and she is on rocks with Neleh, John, and Paschal. Removes black long pants and jumps into pool with bikini bottoms. Then she finds "This looks like taro," on the cliffside next to waterfall. Back at camp John and Kathy are quibbling about getting a fire started with Tammy standing next to Neleh and Paschal. She is now wearing same sport bra with hip hugger shorts with camoflage belt. She swats away a bug from Neleh, rolls eyes up to sky while giving her argument about the fire. Next scene she has put on a long sleeved dark green or black shirt. John gets the fire started and afterward Tammy hugs Kathy. The water is boiled and she drinks water from a coconut.

Kathy, Neleh, Tammy, Gabe and Robert go to get tree mail. Tammy is wearing a very long sleeved black or dark green shirt with gray v-neck, black shorts and buff as do-rag and carrying large loop of rope over right shoulder. Everyone opens basket mail box but Tammy keeps holding it open while Kathy takes out model outrigger with note attached.

Challenge: Wearing orange/pink shirt over sport bra with black shorts, Tammy and the Rotu tribe walk onto the designated mat for the tribal immunity challenge. She hustles up to be next to Gabe and Neleh with Robert behind her. Gabe has arm around her in one shot and she has arm around Neleh. Jeff passes around the immunity idol to touch, and Gabe touches it first, Tammy second. During the challenge Tammy takes the front left of the outrigger canoe. She is a good swimmer. Gabe has the position directly behind her. When they reach the large torch of fire, Tammy lights the torches from the canoe handing each to Gabe. Rotu leads in the race to light the other torches back to the beach. They are all shouting orders and working like a team. When the canoe is settled into its rack and last torch is lit, everyone rushes to hug each other. She stands between Paschal and John as Jeff speaks to them and announces them the winners. She now has buff around neck. Jeff hands the immunity idol to Gabe. Paschal also reaches out to hold it and then Tammy. They hold it high above their heads while the rest of the tribe reaches high to touch the idol. Paschal then kisses Tammy on the cheek and they hug.

Great Job!! :) It is so cool to read each members specific actions- I think we may get a lot more insight this way!

Ok, you beat me to it..I was prepared today..but obviously not as prepared as you LOL!

Would just like to comment on the making fire incidents. The first day Tammy was helping try to make the fire. At one point it was her Neleh, and Kathy said to them "keep rotating". Neleh and Tammy exchange looks and Neleh mumbles "we've been rotating". They both look clearly annoyed with Kathy. But Tammy also seemed sympathetic. Later after they got the fire going, Tammy gave Kathy a hug and said, "we got fire girlfriend, I know it's important to you".

So far, Tammy seems really nice and trying hard to maintain good relationships with all cast members, although she is seen in most shots with Gabe and Neleh. Possible alliance in the making??Hmmmm.....

More Epi 1 observations: Tammy was seated against the wall next to Gabe in the hold of the ship and looked a little green. She was also standing next to Jeff on his right during the opening scenes on deck and wearing the narrow brim black safari hat [and clarification on color: the shirt was pink next to the orange life preserver she was wearing. They are saying her shirt is orange on another site, but I figure color is according to whose tv you are watching.] Tammy is also left-handed!

ps> Mindy, jump in with any clues or corrections and you have the honors for the next episode. You write it up, and I will observe this time. We can do this better together! Your comments are appreciated.

On Survivor Sucks the posters are getting Tammy and Neleh mixed up a lot. I don't know how they can when the two are clearly not look-alikes.

Actually, I'm on Neleh now..so Tammy is all yours, but if I do notice anything with Tammy (especailly if these two team up with others) then I'll definatly jump in. Not sure I can do a sum. for both Neleh and Tammy, I actually have to work sometimes LOL! Besides you are doing great with out me! You rock!

Gracie!! I really feel for you!! That happened to me when I was doing the summary for BB finale. I had it all done except for the last paragraph and the "the end" and I lost it!! 3 hours work. What I did to fix it (too late) was enter the password username at the end of Add a Message. then if it enters when it's not suppose to, it will be entered. Do you understand? Good luck!! (Damn WebTV sometimes)

Oh no! Hate when that happens. I lost a brief summary the other night and that was so irritating. I can't imagine if a whole episode summary went. :(

Here's hoping you can recover it.

Yeah, I'm sorry too you lost your post. I feel for you. It's happened to me before as well, especially if something is wrong with the server. Now what I do is anytime I am clicking something (back, submit, etc.) I will highlight my post and save it to the clipboard. Just in case.

Episode 2 -
Day 4
Night Cam - At Neleh's suggestion the tribe members lined up sitting down behind each other for a back rub. Tammy was behind John, Robert was behind Tammy. She was wearing long sleeve v-neck shirt and long pants. I think it was John with his head in her lap looking up at the stars, but it was such a blip of film it is hard to tell for sure if it was Tammy. [If anyone has more info to clarify this, please note.]

Tammy is gathering wood with Gabe. She is wearing sports bra and low slung hip black shorts, but in one very short scene she is wearing long black pants, which leads me to believe they gathered wood on more than one occassion together. First they are part of a group, with Kathy, then they are alone. Gabe starts telling Tammy his feeling about Kathy, and Tammy says,"There's just an unwritten rule about some...." Gabe talks over her and looks for Kathy. Then there's a scene in camp where Zoe is handing them pieces of food, and Tammy is eating a small piece of it, standing with Gabe. Again she and Gabe are carrying firewood, this time down the beach and come across Robert and John having caught 'a' shrimp. Tammy calls out, "Anything? No! Really? - Look at that!" then looks over at Gabe with a look of disbelief that John is so happy to have caught 'one'. She says, "Good job John!" and leaves with Gabe who says that John needs to catch 30 more, and she says,"tsk". Later in camp a small scene of Paschal with his arm around Neleh, and Tammy reaches over and touches Paschal. Kathy has found some shellfish which Neleh and Tammy crack and try to clean. Tammy says,"That's just nasty" and sticks out her tongue. Then you see her eating it, and she says,"Something hard in there. Can't bite it."

Day 5 - On one of the trips to John's pig trap she is in the background. [Someone female off camera says,"You know something good's gonna happen tonight. We are either gonna catch a pig or starve." It sounds like Tammy's voice, but I'm not sure.] Back at camp she is sitting with Paschal, Gabe, and Robert. [She looks wet like she has been swimming, and has taken off her black sandals with closed toe and sling back.] Kathy whistles at the group and announces she wants a meeting to introduce her catch of the day. Voice over- Tammy says,"Well it was almost like a mother holding a chocolate bar, saying you can have this chocolate bar, but you have to listen to me first and do as I say." Kathy and Gabe interact over Kathy's non-conforming behavior, and Tammy shakes her head back and forth slightly with a furrowed brow or fidgets digging her toes into the sand. At one point Tammy says, "Great job Kathy!" So Kathy was wrong about no one saying that. In another voice over Tammy says, "She kinda started to get tears in her eyes, and I mean, I felt bad. Our point here isn't to make anybody feel bad or hurt anybody's feelings."

They decide to make a more secure hut and Tammy chops fronds from the trees for thatch. When they are finished with hanging the flag on the hut, she rubs Paschals back.

Reward Challenge - While standing on the mat before the challenge she is holding one of the oars and standing between Neleh and Robert. During challenge she is seen diving into the water, then helping pull the row boat onto the floating platform, followed by jumping in after the boat being rowed away to help kick push with Zoe and Kathy. Once the challenge is won, she is cheering with her hands in the air, but no one is hugging her.

Day 6 - Wearing a black tankini with blue on the shoulders and black shorts and black sandals with buff on her head in do rag, she stands between John and Neleh for the IC of eating Marquesas delicacy fafaru. Her turn is against Gina and she finishes first sticking out her tongue. Throughout the challenge she stands untouched with hands on her hips, then runs out to hug Neleh at the win.

Next week's preview - voice over - she is sitting on the rocks in or near the water, "Things change just like that [snaps fingers] out here."

I noticed that John got a lot more face time this week, but Tammy got her share too. She seems to be trying very hard to get along with everyone and fly under the radar. The only person I have not seen her interact with is Zoe. She has many facial expressions.

Thanks Tk, Aware and Crazydog. I was re-watching the taped show and typing as I went. I somehow dropped my keyboard which knocked the 'back' key. I thought okay, I'll just go to my recent key and bring it back up, but it wasn't there! I had to do the whole thing over. Anyway thanks for the tip Tk. I will have to try that next time.

Hi Gracie!! Great job!! Don't you write a report on paper and then copy it over? That's what I did. Mine was alot longer though, and it took me 2 weeks to calm down enough to try it again. That was when I came up with that idea. I guess it will work, won't it? I really like Tammy. I think her and Gabe will get "together"!!

Good job! I think we will see more of this tribe next week. Do you have any clue where the real alliance is on this tribe? I am thinking G, T, R, P, and maybe Z. I hope it's Z anyway.

Good job,I was trying so hard to keep up with John I actually wondered what Tammy was doing??
I write mine on paper in front of the tv too. If I lost it at the end,I would Just Lose It!!!!LOL

Great job Grace! I'm glad there is this level of detail on the board for all to see. There hasn't been much shown on the Rotu tribe so far. n many cases just a glinpse of them as shoots are switched.

There is a woman in the Rotu tribe--I think it's Tammy who they show wearing a bikini frequently. It seems they could do the same to her as they have to Sarah--yet haven't chosen thaht path with her. Not sure why. Tammy (and the rest of the tribe) seems to have found a good balance based on what we've been shown.

Well for one, Lance, Tammy doesn't have a whole lot in the boobie dept but she does have a lot more sense.

Alliances in this tribe are hard to determine so far, because we have seen so little of their interaction. A lot of the scenes we have seen so far have been lapped over back and forth with the editing. It is especially noticable when the survivors are wearing different clothes. It is also difficult when several of the players have barely been seen. This leads me to believe no face time in the beginning may lead to face time towards the end.

Day 7 - Rain has fallen on the Rotu camp. Our first glimpse of Tammy is as she is walking out of the 'shelter' following Neleh. In a voice over she says, "We got a lot of rain last night. Our shelter leaked. Our heads and our feet got wet. (confessional) It was dripping all over the place. The wind was up. It was coming in from both sides of the shelter. I think everybody basically just froze their butts off." "Nobody slept very well, so first thing, that uh, you know, a couple a people - jumped on, was - repairing the shelter."

Scene at the campfire where Paschal is showing Neleh something smouldering in his hand. Tammy, wearing black pants and dark green v-neck shirt with buff as a do-rag behind the ears, holds a pan in her left hand with the burned sock in the other. The sock has the toe burned out of it. Note that Tammy is wearing a bracelet on her left wrist. It looks like it is made out of black leather tied in and out of links.

John is stung by a sea urchin. Kathy and Tammy come running behind Paschal. Robert is there, too. Kathy pees, Tammy and others watch.

Tammy is seen on the beach with the tribe carrying in the bamboo from the water for the raft challenge. Then she walks behind Robert carrying the bamboo with Gabe up to the assembly area. she has her black bra top, black long pants rolled up to the knees and is wearing the black sandals. The drop the huge bundle, and Robert announces he has a slice in his foot from a rock he stepped on.

Day 7 - Tammy watches as Paschal begins untying the bamboo bundles, then helps separate the individual bamboo stalks into piles. She is bent over helping Gabe hold pieces together for tying, then ties one herself. Note that editing mixes the days' scenes. She is wearing black swim bra and long black pants rolled up to knees in some scenes which indicates to me that they worked on the design of the raft on one day, because the next day while they are assembing the raft, Tammy is wearing pink shirt and black shorts. She smiles as Gabe calls himself a genius. She is always with Gabe, Robert and others helping with the building of the raft, and says "...ways to go, guys," as they turn over the unfinished raft.


Tammy cringes as John describes his eel bite injury, and says, "Dam*, that did, right down the center!"

Confessional - "He was panicked. I mean he was on the verge of tears. He was in pain. It was obvious." Her buff is wrapped around her head in a twisted-open turban fashion with her hair sticking out of the top. She says in a matter of fact kind of way, "Everything can change in a heartbeat. Here John has gotten hurt twice today. Things change just like that (finger snaps) out here."

They all arrive for the reward challenge on their respective rafts. Tammy is seated on the left in between Gabe at the back and Robert at front, but their positions were switched during the race with Gabe at front, Robert in the middle and Tammy at the back, all on the right side of the raft. Then positions reverse with Tammy rowing at the front as though they turned around on the raft instead of turning the raft around! Tammy lifts the oar above her head with both hands in a cheer as Rotu is declared the winning tribe. Then a group hug on the main raft with Neleh and Paschal as they decide to take the pillows, blankets and lanterns. Tammy and other tribe members raise their hand in a fist over their heads cheering. Another group hug with John and Paschal.

Day 8 - Awww, the tree mail necklace is broken, Tammy picks up a piece and smiles widely as John covers his face. Time for the IC. Tammy is again standing with her hands on her hips when they stand on the mat for instructions, then with her left arm around Kathy. Her position is right front facing Jeff. Then Zoe reaches out from behind her and puts her hand on Tammy's right shoulder. She is wearing black sports bra, black shorts and pony tail. The whole tribe groups together (while Maraamu stands apart from each other) then huddles in a circle with arms around each other. Rotu selects Tammy, John, and Robert first. Tammy puts the ball in the maze. Then through editing we see other tribe members doing the game with Tammy, John and Robert watching. At the win, all cheer and then she runs to group hug Kathy and Gabe with Zoe joining in, then Jeff hands Tammy the immunity idol with the tribe circling her, and she raises it above their heads with their hands reaching up to it. "That feels so good!"

In studying the tapes I've noticed a lot of cross over editing, mixing in different times, possibly different days. It is very difficult to judge who is with whom in the Rotu tribe, but I know that Tammy interacts with everyone. Maybe more will show up next week to go on.

Great job gracie!! I have been trying to figure out who Tammy is in alliance with but to me she is a wild card. At first it seemed that she was with Gabe, Neleh and Papa but now I wonder if she is more with Kathy, Zoe and Robert? What do you think?

Thanks Grace! I agree that MB has been doing things with the diting when they show Tammy and the other members of Rotu. For me it's hard to be sure of any definite time sequence for what they show us.

Thank you Moon, Lance and Weiner - Firebird, it does look like Tammy is getting closer to Zoe and Robert. She did not like the way Gabe was talking to Kathy. It made her uncomfortable. Even his comment to John over the shrimp only got a 'tsk' from her. She works right alongside the strongest men, and is seen with each tribe member at different times frowning when someone is hurt and joining in with a smile when things are fun. She is a strong woman and is playing this game to win.

I'm really beginning to like Tammy and Zoe alot.
They work hard and don't seem to be making any enemies. To me it looks like they may go pretty far. She certainly helped them on the luxury challange. They set Tammy, John and Robert out on the IM but to me it looks like they are doing this on a rotation basis not signaling out anyone in particular.
