Survivor: Panama — Exile Island...
Survivor: Panama — Exile IslandFirst of all, I'm not shocked that
Terry, of all people, managed to find the immunity idol. The question now is will he have to use it, and if so, when? That man is following the
Tom Westman playbook perfectly so far, with both
Austin and
Dan playing the part of
Ian, the loyal-till-the-end pal. It must've hurt La Mina to lose
both challenges while tribe "Casargue" won, even though the immunity challenge was
thisclose. Ah, Casaya, I have to say I'm enjoying their bickering, and it seems to me that
Aras is riding the old "align with the most annoying person in the tribe" strategy, just like
Thailand's
Brian did with
Clay and the aforementioned Tom did with
Katie. Even though
Danielle loved getting the towels and three "bahs" of soap at "Casa de Charmin," she did
not like her male tribe mates very much. I had to laugh at
Bobby's talk of a "deuce" — we barely hear a word out of him, and
that was the first conversation we are privy to? Somehow Casaya managed to come together when it counted — at the challenges — and I was very surprised to see
Shane and
Courtney work so well together. But
Cirie was right: The "psychotic joke" alliance unraveled quickly. Almost as quickly as La Mina wasted away. Wow, they were looking rough. The he-man, women-hatin' alliance probably made the right call in booting
Ruth Marie because
Sally did an amazing job in the challenge, but
Nick sure looked guilty as hell. If he wants to make it far, he has to work on his poker face (yet
another thing Terry has perfected). Next time, lack of food makes La Mina sick, Courtney's saluting of the sun in his Zen garden makes
Bruce sick, and camp Casaya is utterly destroyed by a freak of nature. Or maybe just a freak... perhaps Bob-Dawg "christened" Shane's "thinking seat." —
