Survivor Panama Episode 4 Thoughts

Poor La Mina. They seem to be the likeable tribe, they have the second coming of Tom, and yet they are the ones that are in a downward spiral. It looks like we're headed to another season of the dominant alliance being pretty unlikeable. Which sucks.

With that said, I'm not upset in seeing Ruth Marie go. With all of her face time, she was pretty forgettable. And Sally is becoming more interesting as we get further into the game. A quick review of what I said about Ruth Marie:

She's pretty athletic, and has a diverse background. But something seems off with her. I can't describe it, but she seems like an early boot. So, the brain says jury member, but the gut says goes early. Let's split the difference and call it a late pre-merge boot.

She showed a lot of spunk in the immunity challenge two weeks ago, but last week was a poor week for her to prove her worth. The only really surprising thing was the first crack showing in the all guy alliance. Dan went ahead an promised Ruth Marie Final 5, which he didn't have the authority, nor did he think things through. I think he's still on the good side of Terry, but that's something worth watching.

The list:

LW  TW
 1   1  Terry  
 2   2  Bruce  
 3   3  Danielle    
 5   4  Aras 
 6   5  Austin 
 4   6  Courtney 
 7   7  Nick 
10   8  Sally 
 8   9  Bobby 
 8  10  Dan 
12  11  Cirie 
13  12  Shane 

Who goes? Dan or Cirie. Dan because he has upset his alliance and is
very weak in challenges. Cirie because she is still on the outside of her tribe, and Bobby is still useful for challenges.
