Debra played a very quiet, but deliberate game, relying on her strength in challenges in the early going, as well as her early bond with Albert. She wasn't in potential danger until Ka gave Rae her idol. Luckily for Debra, her somewhat bitchy personality made Ka feel she was more relatable to her, which is why Ka spared her over Albert.

At the 2nd tribe switch, Debra was switched over to Afaahiti where she had no real allies. She aligned with Leland out of the gate, and they were going to side with Mary-Jo and Roberto to take out Kenda. Leland however, got cold feet about the move at the last minute, not liking or trusting Mary-Jo fully, and the vote was suddenly 3-3. Since Mary-Jo played her idol, followed by Kenda, there was a null vote. Even though Debra switched her vote to Roberto at the re-vote to avoid rocks, she was pissed off at Leland for not communicating what he was doing with her, kick-starting their rivalry. Debra tried to get Leland out at the first merge vote, but swing votes Kenda and Pascal sided with Leland and Ka to blindside Rae. Since Rae left with an idol in her pocket, the idol was re-hidden, and Debra found the re-hidden one.

When Leland promised to vote with her to blindside Christopher at final 7, Debra remembered the Roberto vote, and wasn't about to let herself get fooled again. As such, Leland was her original target for that vote, but when he won immunity. Debra did get her way at the next vote however, when Leland was sent home 5-1.

At the final five, Debra played her idol as a fail-safe, since that's the last time idols can be played. However, the majority of votes went to her ally, Mary-Jo. Debra then won final immunity, taking her to FTC.

At FTC, jurors saw Debra as more strategic than Pascal for the most part, and she had a better reception than Christopher, who was seen as someone that didn't know what was going on most of the time. But, her cold and somewhat bitchy personality turned quite a few of them off, most notably Leland. She did win 3 votes from Mary-Jo, Ka, and Roberto, beating Christopher, but it was not enough, as she lost to Pascal by 1 vote, as he proved to be strategic enough, and was also much more likable.
