Patricia, God love her, was on her way to being "Purple Patricia". She would've gone on an eight episode tear without a single confessional, showing herself loyal to the core female alliance of the season. Her rise in visibilty started at around the final seven when she made a key bond with Brandon that would bring her all the way to the end. Though she struggled a lot with her own morals and values when making a move against the girls, she decided that it was the best decision for her. She was half-right, as it had gotten her to the end like she had had in mind, but Brandon's bigger prescence and the credit that he got for flipping Patricia and Careta buried her chances of winning. She would've been a fun character to play around with in terms of her visibility though, or lack of in this case ;)

Hallie played an extremely cutthroat game from Shih-na's blindside on, and I dare to even say it was Russell Hantz-ish in nature. She was always out to cause chaos, it would later be revealed in the post-season that it was her who left the rice out on purpose in the second episode, she blindsided Shih-na on night six, and turned everyone against the bombastic Kimberly as she saw Kimberly's strategic savviness as a threat to her own. Once the tribe switch came, her and Careta had power in the new Alaki tribe, seeing that Gregory and Kendrick were targetting each other. And when it came down to Kendrick verus Careta at the sixth Tribal, Kendrick offered himself and Tybalt as possible allies to her post-merge and "bonded" with her about their troubled financial situations. However, Hallie as merciless as she was, went right around and voted him out, knowing it was stupid to get rid of a number from her girl alliance over a sob story like Kendrick. At the merge, Hallie became a target of the men as Gregory had referred to has the "woman of the hour" on Alaki, and when Tamara won the first immunity, it was almsot confirmed that she would be their first target. However, also in a very Russell Hantz-ish manner, Hallie was able to sniff out two idols for herself by this point, one that she pulled out from under Gregory at Alaki, and the other on the second day of the merge while almost everyone else was searching. She played this at the first merge Tribal Council, negating all the men and Mary Sue's votes against her and blindsiding Kevin. She continued control of the game when Tamara played the Liahona idol to blindiside Mary Sue next, Gregory flipped on Nathan, and when Brandon sold out Tybalt. However, her fatal error was going after Gregory too soon, with that indecisiveness being used by Brandon to convince Careta and Patricia that they are on the bottom of the women's alliance and not Gregory like they had been told. Despite still having an idol, Hallie was blindsided by these three and sent off to the jury it a late game turnabout.

With her ballsy approach to the game, chaotic antics, and biting personality, it was pretty easy to think of her as someone who would return later potentially.
