Ruth Marie Milliman, Survivor: Panama
Handpicked by Terry and Co. to round out the male-dominated La Mina alliance, Ruth Marie Milliman remained nothing but loyal to her tribe mates, but once Sally's athleticism was deemed a more valuable asset, her fate was sealed. Milliman may have been quiet during her stint on CBS' Survivor: Panama — Exile Island (Thursdays at 8 pm/ET), but the South Carolina native and mother of two made up for it when TVGuide.com tracked her down the day after she said goodbye to her tribe.
TVGuide.com: As hard as it was, you must have sensed your exit was coming — especially once La Mina discussed putting you on the chopping block the week before last.
Ruth Marie Milliman: I had an alliance with the guys, so I wasn't in jeopardy then. The ultimate decision came down to Sally and Misty. Sally was going to go, but at the last minute it

Survivor: Panama — Exile Island First off, was it Exile Island or Opposite Island last night? Fire dancer Courtney had trouble with the fire, La Mina actually lost a challenge, and Shane, of all people, called other players "lunatic" and "neurotic." Then he himself promptly earned both descriptions tenfold by shouting about the "Shane Thinking Seat." Yeah, right, that will be getting a lot of use. One-man army Terry was a champ during the reward challenge and was charitable to his tribe when he called it a "team effort." Sure, if you spell "team" t-e-r-r-y. Poor Bruce barely got to know his tribe before once again being shuffled off to Exile Island, but given the juvenile arguments at Casaya, he was probably better off. Enough with the Bickersons. Over at La Mina, the tribe enjoyed "Nemo," and Sally said it

Survivor: Panama — Exile Island Well, the idea of four separate tribes certainly didn't last long. I know it was just dumb luck that they happened to get the new team buffs, but it seems like Terry and Danielle will make it very far this season. Can't believe that Bruce was left stranded at the "schoolyard pick." Obviously, he hasn't demonstrated his ability to kick through a tree trunk for these people, otherwise he'd have been snapped right up. I laughed when Courtney chose Aras — their cosmic connection was clear last week. Flyboy Terry has marked Sally for death after her "Spear? Oops, what spear?" mishap. Nice knowing you, Sally! Poor Misty was literally covered with bites, so Jeff Probst was definitely not lying about the pesky fire ants on Exile Island. Speaking of pesky, Shane was working my las

Dan Barry, Survivor: Panama - Exile Island
Survivor: Panama — Exile Island The tribe splits were interesting, and I already love Cirie — she really hated being tossed in the "old" group! But Jeff Probst told a lie right off the bat, touting Exile Island as having "a twist like never before." Sorry Jeff, does the name Janu ring a bell? Poor Misty, she should have just let Danielle take the fall for losing that reward challenge. Those skulls they smashed need to be patented as a stress-relief desk toy. Great, I think I just gave Mark Burnett an idea to make even more money. I did think Misty's strategy of lying about the idol would have worked, had the young women not kicked serious butt in that immunity challenge. And even though the Casaya tribe of older women lost, I think the younger-men's tribe is in the most trouble. Playing baseball instead of buildin

The players on CBS' forthcoming Survivor: Panama — Exile Island, premiering Feb. 2, include a retired astronaut, a singer, a social worker, a yoga instructor and a babe-a-licious engineer named Misty. The cast of 16 will at first be split into four groups based on age and gender, before being formed into two tribes. The other twist: At least one player each episode will be "exiled" to a remote island, on which Sue Hawk an immunity idol is hidden.
