Survivor Panama, Episode 12
title: Perilous Scramble

This post will be updated as Survivor airs tonight.
Some people just can't wait to know what happens on Survivor. If you're one of those people then this post is for you. Note: you may need to hit the refresh/reload button on your browser to see the updates.

First Interview: Terry

Shane is nuts - pretends a rock is his Blackberry.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.usReward Challenge
Reward: Bar-B-Q feast on remote island.
Type of Challenge: Groups of 3 tied together must go through an obstacl course.
T1 won Reward. Aras Exiled.
Team 1 - Terry, Danielle, Courtney.
Team 2 - Shane, Cirie, Aras.
T2 never really in it.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.usBut wait, there's more! T1 competes for a new car!!
Challenge: break 3 tiles with a sling-shot.
Winner: Terry wins the automobile.

Exile Island: Aras says it's no use looking for the Immunity Idol because Terry has it.

Bar-B-Q: Terry gets his nice SUV and works on Danielle and Courtney to be in the final three with him. Courtney in private says that she is open to it. Terry mentions Cirie as the fourth.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.usMeanwhile back at camp: Shane and Cirie talk game. In confessional Cirie says Shane's best bet is to go to the final 2 with Courtney. Cirie goes fishing and catches a decent sized fish! Wasn't she the one afraid of leaves? Shane was chopping coconuts when she returned.

(T1 back at camp) Terry and Danielle try and get a pact where the final 2 in Immunty go to the final 2. Courtney is pissed off when Danielle mentions no one gets a free ride. Cirie says think! Who do you think will make the final 2?? Terry of course.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.usImmunity Challenge
Type of Challenge: Hold Your Own Weight, on a platform over water.
Terry won Immunity (fourth straight).
The order they went out: Shane, Cirie, Danielle, Aras, Courtney.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.usScheming Is Free
Terry is happy that someone from Casaya is going home tonight and Aras is the target. Courtney says that she, Terry, and Danielle will vote for Aras. Shane wants Danielle voted off. Cirie plotting against Courtney and goes to Aras and Danielle (Danielle wavering about her vote). So it looks like Courtney or Aras.

Tribal Council
First Questioned: Terry. Bruce at Tribal Council.
Courtney was voted off with 3 votes. (Aras 2 votes, Danielle 1 vote)

Jeff Probst's Final Thought
After tonight's vote, I don't think there's a doubt that it's now an individual game.

Courtney's Final Words
I'm completely shocked that my sisters who I trusted turned on me . . . I guess I was a threat to be in the Final 2 . . . I'm going to live my dream, that's what's important.

That's it for tonight, enjoy Survivor!

Ep. 12 Fantasy Picks

Image Hosted by ImageShack.usSurvivor Fantasy
I'm sticking with this group of four again but changing some of the Bonuses.

My picks, for what it's worth:
Aras, Exiled
Cirie, Catches Fish
Terry, First Interviewed
Danielle, First Interviewed

I'm counting on Terry winning both the Reward Challenge and the Immunity Challenge. So after he wins Reward he will chose Aras for Exile. Last week's preview of this weeks show showed Cirie catching a fish.

Preview Episode 12 & Rumors

Image Hosted by ImageShack.usTitle: Perilous Scramble
One of the players must win the immunity challenge or use the hidden immunity idol; winners of the reward challenge learn that one of them could win a new vehicle.

Excitement over winning the Reward Challenge reaches a new level when the winners learn they can compete for a second Reward. Which lucky Survivor walks away with this season's biggest Reward so far? [a new car?]

As winner of all three individual Immunity Challenges, Terry knows he must win again to stay in the game. Will he be able to win his fourth straight Immunity, or can the former Casayas finally knock him off his thrown?

As the finale nears, the Survivors begin to focus on the pros and cons of alliances. Can Terry finally talk any of the Survivors into being his ally?

Image Hosted by ImageShack.usRumors
Reward Challenge - Danielle, Terry, Courtney???
Exile - Aras
Immunity Challenge - Terry again? Why not, he's done well so far in Immunity Challenges.
Voted Off: best guess is Courtney, though if Aras is off alone on Exile Island he may be a target as well. Even if Terry doesn't win the Immunity Necklace he has the Immunity Idol.

And remember, there is a preview that shows Cirie with a fish.

The Tribe
Here's who's still playing the game:

old Casaya
Aras, Cirie, Courtney, Danielle, Shane.

old La Mina
Terry.

Bye Bruce, Sly Aras?

Image Hosted by ImageShack.usBye Bruce
I liked Bruce so I'm sad to see him go out of the game due to medical reasons. I don't think he had a real shot of winning - in the Reward Challenge he was the first one knocked out after Terry. However it would have ben nice to see if he could work the others and be voted off after Courtney. Heck if he won an Immunity Challenge or two he possibly could have made the Final Four.

Now that we know Bruce is OK, I found this scene somewhat amusing:
Bruce, in the shelter and in severe pain, declares an emergency and calls for the doctor.
Courtney: "Bruce do you want me to sing to you? Will that help?"
Bruce: "No."
Courtney sings anyway.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.usDid Aras Throw the Reward Challenge?
In the Reward Challenge when it was down to Cirie and Aras the question was 'Who couldn't survive on his/her own?' Cirie correctly answered 'Cirie' and Aras answered 'Terry.'

I find it hard to believe that Aras really thinks that Terry couldn't survive on his own. Does anyone really think that Terry, the naval aviator and man's man, would have the hardest time? On the contrary, I think he would have the best chance of surviving on his own (Bruce a close second).

So that makes me wonder, did Aras throw the Reward Challenge? Cirie is taking a lot of heat for whom she chose and Aras got the benefits of the Reward without being put in the hot seat.

Survivor Panama, Episode 11
title: Medical Emergency

This post will be updated as Survivor airs tonight.
Some people just can't wait to know what happens on Survivor. If you're one of those people then this post is for you. Note: you may need to hit the refresh/reload button on your browser to see the updates.

First Interview: Terry
I'm the last La Mina . . .

Bruce: stomach hurts, feels bloated and constipated.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.usReward Challenge
Reward: Luxury Night away from camp and chose who's Exiled.
Type of Challenge: Questions - how well do you know the others?
Cirie won Reward. Terry Exiled.
Does least for Tribe: Danielle. Terry out.
Who never shuts up: Courtney.
Mistakenly thinks running game: Shane. Bruce out.
Who trust with life: Cirie.
Not trust watch back: Terry.
Biggest poser: Courtney.
Moodiest: Shane. Danielle out.
Easily inimidated: Courtney.
Most annoying: Courtney. Courtney, Shane out.
Never survive on own: Cirie. Aras out.
Cirie wins, choses Aras and Danielle to share Reward with her (Shane is upset). Courtney was hurt that she was the answer to so many questions.

Luxury Reward: helicopter ride to food. Then mud massage time. More food and wine. Aras says that Courtney and Shane are both immature. [Remember you're only young once but you can be immature forever.]

Image Hosted by ImageShack.usCamp: Shane thought tight with Aras and Cirie, now not sure. Courtney complains to Shane about RC. Bruce still no bowel movement; in a lot of pain. At night Bruce says it's an emergency, it's really bad. Dramatic night time med evac. Somber music plays as Bruce is put on a stretcher and taken away. (The doctor/medic sounds Australian.)

Back from Reward: Shane tells Aras he's pissed at Danielle going on Reward instead of him. Shane says he's going to do whatever it takes to win, including turning on them if necessary. Cirie tries to reassure Shane. In private Shane says his rant was a planned thing and that he controls the three of them.

Courtney and Danielle tend to Bruce's rock garden.

Terry returns with Jeff Probst. Jeff updates them on Bruce: colon and bladder blocked but he'll be OK. However he is out of the game. No Immunity Challenge or Tribal Council. It is hoped that Bruce will be well enough to be on the Jury at the next Tribal Council.

Immunity Challenge Cancelled!
Tribal Council Cancelled!

And that's how the episode ends. The ending credits roll along with footage of Bruce doing his karate exercises.

Next Update:
Friday or Saturday, my post episode analysis.

Ep. 11 Fantasy Picks, Rumor Update

Image Hosted by ImageShack.usRumors
Reward Challenge: Danielle, clean hair in a preview gives it away? She picks Aras to share a luxury reward with her?
Exiled: Terry
Immunity Challenge: ? ?
Voted Off: Nobody because Bruce leaves due to medical reasons, Courtney ? ?

It's really looking like Bruce's medical emergency (rumored to be either a heart problem or an intestinal problem) ends his time on Survivor. So it looks like no Immunity Challenge and no Tribal Council. However there is some talk that Courtney might be voted of.

Survivor Fantasy
I'm sticking with this group of four again but changing some of the Bonuses.

My picks, for what it's worth:
Aras, First Interviewed
Cirie, First Interviewed
Terry, Exiled
Danielle, First Interviewed

Danielle spoke against Terry a little at Tribal Council, maybe she will continue with that in the First Interview. Terry has said that Aras is a good competitor so maybe Aras will get the First Interview. Cirie is kind of a neutral observer so maybe she will get the First Interview.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.usIt looks like Shane will have a lot of screen time tonight so maybe he will get the First Interview. Shane may get naked as I think he's still wearing his chaffing skirt. I could see him walking around pulling up his skirt and asking people how his rash looks.

Coconut Chopping (fantasy points): speculation is that there will be a lot of coconut chopping tonight.

Preview Episode 11

Image Hosted by ImageShack.usTitle: Medical Emergency
A survivor has a medical emergency and must leave the island for treatment; a brutally honest Reward Challenge leaves one castaway hurt and another miffed; Terry finds himself without allies; Shane threatens to turn the game.

When a medical emergency sends one Survivor off for treatment [most likely Bruce], the others are left wondering what will happen next. Will this Survivor be forced to leave the game for good?

Honesty isn't always the best policy, but in the Reward Challenge it's the key to winning. Can the Survivors get along afterwards, or are some too bitter to forgive and forget?

As the lone La Mina, Terry is without allies at camp. His only hope is that the bickering amongst the Casayas continues. Will the old Casaya tribe self-destruct, or will they set their emotions aside and stay focused on the game?

Tensions run high when Shane questions the strength of his alliance and threatens to turn the game.

Rumors
It looks like I was a week early predicting Bruce's medical emergency, look for him to get an ambulance ride this week. I think Terry will stick around for a while winning Immunity Challenges and with that Immunity Idol of his. Bruce probably will be removed this week, either for medical reasons or he's an easy target because of his weak medical state.

Another Final Four Rumor:
Danielle and Aras are the final two with Terry finishing third and Cirie in fourth place.

The Tribe
Here's who's still playing the game:

old Casaya
Aras, Bruce, Cirie, Courtney, Danielle, Shane.

old La Mina
Terry.

Richard Hatch In Protective Custody

Image Hosted by ImageShack.usProvidence, R.I., April 11, 2006 (AP) "Survivor" winner Richard Hatch is being held in protective custody apart from other inmates until his sentencing this month on tax evasion charges.

Hatch, who won $1 million in the debut season of the CBS reality TV series, was found guilty in January of failing to pay taxes on his winnings and other income. He was taken into custody immediately because U.S. District Court Judge Ernest Torres said he posed a flight risk.

Hatch, 45, asked to be put in protective custody shortly after he was detained, his attorney, Michael Minns, said Monday. Hatch is being held at a jail in Plymouth, Mass., until his sentencing April 25.

Charles Wyant, a supervisory deputy U.S. marshal, said the reality TV star was placed in protective custody because he is a celebrity. Any prisoner can make such a request.

"The situation he's in is the best possible position for him to be in at this point in time, the safest and most secure," Wyant said.

As a matter of policy, all prisoners spend their first three days at the jail in solitary confinement with one hour a day recreation, Wyant said. After that, they are usually moved into the general population, but Hatch is being held separately, he said.

Minns said Hatch's conditions have improved since he first arrived in jail, except for what he called the abysmally bad food.

"I'd just hate for someone to think these are pleasant conditions," he said.

The charges carry a maximum of 13 years in prison. Torres said he expected a sentence of between two years, nine months and three years, five months but it could be longer because prosecutors accuse Hatch of lying during his testimony.

This post will be updated as Survivor airs tonight.
Some people just can't wait to know what happens on Survivor. If you're one of those people then this post is for you. Note: you may need to hit the refresh/reload button on your browser to see the updates.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.usFirst Interview: Terry
After Navy stories, Terry talks about last week. Away from story telling, the Casaya women are plotting against him. Aras wants to go to Exile Island to have a look around.

Reward Challenge
Reward: Family Videos! with PB&J and Milk.
Type of Challenge: Use aparatus to collect flags, 2 groups of 4. Winners also pick who goes to Exile Island.
Courtney Team won Reward. Aras Exiled.
Courtney Team: Terry, Sally, Bruce.
Danielle Team: Shane, Aras Cirie.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.usCirie as a nurse looks at Shane's private parts and diagnoses chaffing and prescibes a change of clothes - a chaffing skirt.

Exile Island: Aras taking a look for Immunity Idol and then gives up.

Reward: not shown, winners return with luxury items. Terry - U.S. flag, Sally - journal, Bruce - sketch book, Courtney - some sorta toy.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.usImmunity Challenge
Type of Challenge: Memory Puzzle involving some swimming (duplicate order of pictures that are underwater.
Terry won Immunity (third straight time).
Aras, Sally, and Terry competed; the rest eat hamburgers.

Scheming Is Free
Sally targeted? Terry shows Bruce the Idol. Terry tries to swing Courtney. Cirie thinks Terry would be stupid to give the Idol to Sally. In private Terry says that he will give the Idol to Sally if an old Casaya changes vote.

Tribal Council
First Questioned: Shane.
Sally was voted off.
Votes: 2 for Aras, 6 for Sally.
Terry kept the Immunity Neclace and Idol.

Jeff Probst's Final Thought
Well it's clear that it's six former Casaya members against Terry. He says that he will win all the Immunity Challenges and they say he cannot possibly do it. Whatever happens it should be interesting to watch.

Sally's Final Words
I'm not disapponted that Terry didn't give me the Immunity Idol . . . he has a huge uphill battle ahead of him and I'm disappointed that I'm not there with him . . . I learned a lot about myself, I have no regrets.

That's it for tonight, thanks for visiting my blog.

Next Update:
Friday or Saturday, my post episode analysis.

Ep. 10 Fantasy Picks, Rumor Update

Image Hosted by ImageShack.usRumors
Reward Challenge: ???
Exiled: ???
Immunity Challenge: Terry again?
Voted Off: Courtney?

If Terry wins the Immunity Necklace again there is the real possibility that he could give Sally Immunity as well (with either the Necklace or Idol), so the thinking is that old Casaya will vote off one of their own. Courtney seems to be the one least in-the-loop amongst old Casaya so she's a goner, as the rumor goes.

I don't really buy it. Terry can stay around longer if he keeps both the Immunity Idol and Necklace this week (assuming he wins Immunity again).

Survivor Fantasy
My picks are unchanged from last week. I figure with eight people left that I got about a 50-50 chance of getting the Exiled bonus points.

My picks, for what it's worth:
Aras, Exiled
Cirie, Exiled
Terry, Exiled
Danielle, Exiled

I would avoid Courtney, Sally and Bruce this week.

Newsflash: Danielle Wins?

Image Hosted by ImageShack.usAn online wagering site has suspended further bets on Survivor Panama for suspicious activity.

It seems that a number of maximum bets for Danielle to win it all have come in from the New York State area. (For the record Danielle is from Lynnfield, MA and currently lives in Florida.)

Does someone have inside information? Is Danielle the sole survivor? That's what a lot of people are concluding from this.

Preview Episode 10

Image Hosted by ImageShack.usTitle: Fight for Your Life or Eat
A tempting offer has some Survivors opting out of the Immunity Challenge. Who feels safe enough to sit out, and who won't risk a loss?

Terry and Sally continue to lobby the remaining Casayas to join forces with them. Will their efforts to form a new alliance finally pay off? [I really doubt it.]

Terry shares Navy stories with his tribemates, and the former Casaya women worry he is unbeatable. After winning individual Immunity two weeks in a row, can Terry keep his streak going?

One male Survivor becomes one of the girls. Has he lost his mind, or does he have a valid reason to be walking around in a skirt? [Who could that be? Could it be Shane?]

Image Hosted by ImageShack.usRumors
An internet rumor has Sally being saved by Bruce's medical emergency. I would think that Sally is the next one to be voted off so if this rumor is true then it is time for the medically induced drama.

Do you remember the EMT team that was shown in a preview and the medical emergency that was hinted at previously? Well, Bruce didn't need a medical evacuation for the machete to the face, so it looks like now is the time for Bruce's heart or stomach problem to be revealed.

The Tribe
Here's who's still playing the game:

old Casaya
Aras, Bruce, Cirie, Courtney, Danielle, Shane.

old La Mina
Sally, Terry.

Terry and the Immunity Idol

Image Hosted by ImageShack.usWhy? What was Terry thinking?

Why didn't he give the Immunity Idol to Austin and then Aras would be gone?

This seems to be what a lot of people are asking since last episode. I think Terry kept the Immunity Idol because he felt that it would help him go the farthest in the game.

If Austin had used the Immunity Idol and Aras was voted off then who do you think would be the target this week? Yes that's right, Terry. As it is now Sally is in trouble.

Terry is at the point in the game where you just try and get through as many Tribal Councils as you can while hoping for the best. Also he has shown to be very good at the challenges so the Idol just may buy him enough time to make the Final Four where anything can happen.

Stephenie Update

Image Hosted by ImageShack.usStephenie LaGrossa will be appearing at the South Philadelphia Chickie and Pete's (crab house and sports bar) this evening from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm ET to meet fans.

She was on a local Philadelphia sports-talk radio show this morning for about thirty minutes in a bit of shameless self promotion - and I duly took notes.

What She's Up to Now
Steph has basically left her pharmaceutical sales rep position to pursue this fame thing. She's a partner in a firm that designs and markets swim-wear. She said that she's not a swimsuit model despite being on the cover of Fit magazine in a swimsuit. She is also going on casting calls and would like to try acting. [What's next, that she'd like to direct?] Motivational speaking engagements are not out of the question either.

It Must Be Luff
She's engaged, her fiance proposed this past Christmas Eve and they will be wed in July this summer. [Aaaaahhhhhh!]

Survivor Palau
She feels that she got the producers attention with her audition tape because it had Jon Bon Jovi in it. She had gone to a Bon Jovi concert and was invited on stage and Jon sang to her. She later found the video online and included it in her audition video tape for Survivor. Stephenie lost about 14 pounds during Palau (about 20 during Guatemala). The producers asked her to participate in Survivor Guatemala during the last week or so of Survivor Palau.

Odds and Ends
She has not met Philadelphia's other Survivor Gervase. CBS Bio Clarification: she is primarily a Philadelphia Eagles fan. Her manager is Ellen Barkan, former figure skater and wife of sports broadcaster Michael Barkan (Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia).

Stephenie's Bio at CBS .

If anyone goes to see her today then I would appreciate it if you leave some notes in the comments, thanks!

Survivor Panama, Episode 9
title: The Power of the Idol

This post will be updated as Survivor airs tonight.
Some people just can't wait to know what happens on Survivor. If you're one of those people then this post is for you. Note: you may need to hit the refresh/reload button on your browser to see the updates.

First Interview: Courtney
She thinks they should have voted off Austin last week instead of Nick.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.usReward Challenge
Reward: luxury night away from camp.
Type of Challenge: coconut boat race - 3 teams of 3.
Bruce, Sally, Aras won Reward. Austin and Danielle Exiled (1 each from the losing teams).
Teams:
1 - Terry, Shane, Austin
2 - Bruce, Sally, Aras
3 - Danielle, Courtney, Cirie
Team 2 just beat Team 1.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.usIt pours rain putting a damper on the reward (breakdfast in bed on a beach) and making life really miserable for the exiles Austin and Danielle, who seem to bond a bit. Meanwhile back at camp Terry gets out of Shane that the plan for the final four does not include Danielle and Bruce. Terry then plans to try and flip those two. Terry tells Sally that he has the Immunity Idol.

Immunity Challenge
Type of Challenge: obstacle course, brain teaser.
Terry won Immunity.
First Knocked Out: Aras, Bruce, Cirie.
Terry, Sally, and Austin are the final three.
Terry and Sally vie for Immunity.
Terry wins Immunity (again).

Image Hosted by ImageShack.usScheming Is Free
Austin is realistic - the game is probably over for him. Old La Mina think the Immunity Idol held by Terry can be a bargining chip to get Bruce and Danielle to vote with them. Bruce seems to go with it, he seems to be surprised he's not in the plan for the final four. Word of the Immunity Idol reaches old Casaya and it freaks them out. Apparently if the Immunity Idol is used the person with the second most votes is then voted off at Tribal Council. Terry wants to give Danielle the Immunity Idol in exchange for her vote.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.usTribal Council
First Questioned: Aras.
Austin was voted off.
Aras - 3 votes. Austin - 5 votes.
Austin is the first member of the Jury.

Jeff Probst's Final Thought
From this point forward power starts to shift as the people you vote off make up the jury that decides who gets the million dollars.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.usAustin's Final Words
This was the hardest experience of my life . . . difficult negotiate between integrity and the game . . . my La Mina tribemates were a joy to be around, I wish them luck . . .

That's wrap for tonight, thanks for reading my blog.

Next Update:
Friday or Saturday, my post episode analysis and maybe my Survivor Live notes.

Preview Episode 9 (updated)

Title: The Power of the Idol
Terry decides it's time to reveal the Idol to some castaways. How will the power of the Idol affect the game?

When two tribe members are sent Exile Island, an unexpected bond forms. Will this newfound friendship affect their alliance and change the course of the game?

Determined to expand their alliance, the La Mina group pressures several Casayas. Can they secretly break up the Casaya Six?

At the Reward Challenge, one Survivor demonstrates clever leadership skills and forges a win with a weaker group.

Rumors    (updated 2PM ET)
Reward Challenge is done in groups. Aras and Sally are in the group that win Reward (may include someone else too). Terry edges out Sally for Individual Immunity and Austin is voted off at Tribal Council. Danielle and Austin are rumored to be the ones Exiled.

The Tribe
Here's who's still playing the game:

old Casaya
Aras, Bruce, Cirie, Courtney, Danielle, Shane.

old La Mina
Austin, Sally, Terry.

Survivor Fantasy
Probably Austin or Sally will be voted off, most likely Austin unless he gets Immunity.

My picks, for what it's worth:
Aras, Exiled
Cirie, Exiled
Terry, Exiled
Danielle, Exiled

I figure that with 2 exiles this week that I would go with the Exiled bonus points. Terry is rumored to go far in the game, maybe it is because of who he is exiled with this week.

Survivor Slackers #1! Thanks guys, I'm glad you let me in your tribe.

Final Four Speculation

Welcome Survivor.com readers! Please visit the main page for this blog: survivor12.blogspot.com .

From several web sites on the web I've pieced together what I think may be a consensus Final Four for Survivor Panama. Here they are:

Image Hosted by ImageShack.usAras, Danielle, Cirie and Terry.

Terry supposedly wins a number of individual Immunity Challenges in a row to get to the final four and having the Immunity Idol that he found on Exile Island doesn't hurt either.

Rumor also has it that at the Final Four Tribal Council there is a tie.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.usIf this is the Final Four, then what I think is going on is an Aras-Cirie alliance who are dragging along Danielle as the annoying Survivor to be in the Final Two with either them. No one is going to give Danielle the million dollars over Aras or Cirie. Terry crashes the party by winning all of those Immunity Challenges and talks Danielle into voting with him. Danielle is smart enough to realize that being in the Final Two with Terry is her best chance of being the sole Survivor.

I think Terry wins the million dollars if this is the Final Four and if there is a tie (a lot of 'ifs', I know). Aras and Cirie probably vote for Terry with Terry and Danielle voting for either Aras or Cirie. Then I assume that in a tie-breaker Terry cannot be voted off the island so he makes it to the Final Three.

Terry either wins the final Immunity Challenge or Aras or Cirie choose him to be in the Final Two with them thinking that being in La Mina will be held against him. Either way, the Jury will like Terry and admire how he survived and won all those Immunity Challenges and vote to give him the one million dollars.
