Stacey was a member of the Tagi tribe and constantly clashed with Rudy Boesch. At the first Tribal Council, Stacey tried to bond with the women of her tribe to vote off Rudy; Kelly Wiglesworth agreed, but Susan Hawk was hesitant. Sonja Christopher was voted out instead in a 4-3-1 vote because she was deemed as the physically weakest among the Tagi tribe. Stacey single-handedly won Tagi their first challenge on Day 6, which required them to eat a live beetle larva. Despite this, the tribe agreed that she would be a liability in future challenges, and she was voted off third in a 5-2 vote.

==Post-Survivor==
* It was revealed in the Reunion Show that Stacey had made amends with Rudy Boesch and befriended him afterwards.
* In early 2001, she sued CBS claiming that Mark Burnett arranged her exit and orchestrated the show's outcome. It was stated in a 14-page lawsuit, filed February 5, 2001, that two of her fellow tribemates, Dirk Been and Sean Kenniff, were persuaded to change their vote from 72-year-old Rudy Boesch to her.http://www.medialifemagazine.com/news2001/feb01/feb05/5_fri/news1friday.html
* Stacey wanted restitution for lost prize money, plus $75,000 representing out-of-pocket expenses and punitive damages. CBS and Burnett said in a statement that her claims were groundless. Been supported her allegations. Kenniff told USA Today that the vote was not influenced, and Burnett said to "Vote your conscience," but it did not feel to him that was coercion. The case was eventually settled out of court.
==Trivia==
* Stacey, Sonja Christopher, and Kelly Wiglesworth are the first contestants to reside in California during filming.

** Stacey also did not deliver her final words until the morning after due to the weather conditions.
* With her lawsuit, it was revealed that Survivor contestants must sign a gag order that forbids them to spoil the possible outcome of their season, or face a $5,000,000 penalty.https://www.sfgate.com/entertainment/article/Surviving-Survivor-S-F-lawyer-Stacey-3239072.php
