==Survivor==
Being one of the four eldest female contestants, Tina was placed on the purple Casaya tribe where she assumed the role of tribe leader because of her uncanny outdoor skills. Her leadership gave the tribe a considerable degree of success, having started fire and built a livable shelter on the first day. She noticed Cirie Fields's lack of outdoor experience, branding her immediately as a liability.
After Casaya lost the first Immunity Challenge, Tina lobbied to to vote Cirie out because of her perceived physical weakness and lack of outdoor experience. On the other hand, knowing she was being targeted by her, Cirie campaigned to eliminate Tina as well, citing her as a threat, despite the advantage of having her around. That afternoon, Cirie, Ruth Marie, and Melinda Hyder were at the bonfire gossiping about Tina while she was alone sitting by the shoreline. Unbeknownst to the tribe, Tina was secretly grieving due to her son's death. On her way back to Casaya's shelter, Tina apparently further improved her standing with the tribe by finding a large fish that washed up on shore.
At Tribal Council, though Tina was praised for bettering camp life, she accused the other three women of having a poor work ethic. Hurt by her allegations, Cirie, Ruth Marie, and Melinda sent Tina packing in a unanimous 3-1 vote.
