Well judging from the episodes and her interviews she didn't much have a chance to do anything. Tom, Colby, and she were ostracized from the beginning, so you can't blame her for that. She said that she liked sugar and did not like James or Rupert, but still voted Sugar out b/c it was the best thing for the tribe. This week she targeted Amanda, the weakest on the tribe (maybe cirie is but cirie was the swing vote), again staying away from Rupert or James.
If you don't think women's strength matters then I guess you haven't seen too much of the show. There's a reason that was the first thing Boston Rob pointed out (albeit incorrectly) in the premier. It's common knowledge that physical challenges are very often won on the strength of the women, as most very physical challenges pit men against men and women against women.
Go back and watch some of the show and you'll see. Glad you came on board this season though, I think you will like the mechanics of the show once you learn them. Not knowing any of the people shouldn't hurt your enjoyment too much.
