TV Review: Survivor: Panama - Exile Island Episode 5
Published March 03, 2006
So, it's the morning of Day 13. Courtney absolutely freaks out about the wine. Bruce didn't admit right away to drinking it, though caught with the empty bottle in the outhouse. Bobby confessed to the crime. He and Courtney got into a shout down and, before you knew it... it's Day 14 and the Immunity Challenge is ready to start.
The IC had the tribemates diving down in the ocean to four different coffins to retrieve skulls. (Who thinks of these things?) Once the skulls were all retrieved, they had to assemble a skull puzzle with a gold skull atop the others in a pyramid formation. Whoa! La Mina is back! They won immunity! It's about time!
Then it starts, the scheming and backstabbing. Aras is hellbent on getting Bruce gone while Shane campaigns for Bobby's ouster. Shane is worried that Bobby will take up with Nick and Austin if he makes it to the merge. Bobby wants Courtney out. Danielle grabs the girls, then Shane, and gets the Anti-Bobby Movement going again. Cirie is just happy that no one is thinking of her even though she was told she would be next at a previous Tribal Council.
At Tribal Council itself, the voting was pretty spread out. Bobby was gone with three votes. Bruce was one of the three who voted for him. Bruce had two votes while Courtney and Aras each had one.
"Bobby, the tribe has spoken. You must leave the Tribal Council area immediately."
So there ya go. That was the episode. Now, a few thoughts of my own, not that I haven't been a bit opinionated throughout this:
* This is the most we've ever seen of Bobby and now ZAP, gone!
* Dan is looking deathly skinny.
* I'm liking Cirie more each week. She works and works to fly under that radar.
* Terry has definitely benefited by being sent to Exile Island — it's like paradise to get away from the others. He's the healthiest-looking guy on the show.
* Courtney gets on my nerves and I'm not liking Bruce so much these days.
If I had to choose who I want to win, I'd have to go with Terry. But I think I'd like to see Cirie have a shot at it, too. No Shane. I don't want him to win even though he's getting a bit more bearable each week.
Who are you rooting for now that we're getting to know the cast?

Comments
Actually I should have read the whole post before writing my first comment. Bruce voted for Courtney, Bobby voted for Bruce, and Shane voted for Arras. The women did their own dirty work, probably because the guys let them.
GROAN to your first comment, Brent! And, to the second... thank you for the correction. I managed to break a glass in my hand as I set it down... right at the end of the show. I barely caught the votes, but thought Bruce voted Bobby. Oops! Of course, now I'm inspired to write a new epic - "Blood on the Blog." ;-)





Sorry but I have to say this:
"We'll move right along." Not unlike the beans.
