The story

Betsy Bolan was a police officer on Samoa's Foa Foa tribe — a straight-shooting competitor who quickly grew suspicious of Russell Hantz's scheming and wasn't shy about saying so. On Russell's tribe, seeing through him too clearly was a liability.

Russell maneuvered her out, and Foa Foa voted her in eighteenth. An early read on the season's master manipulator that came a vote too soon to matter.
