MATTER OVER MIND La Mina men vote out Misty Giles
In La Mina's first Tribal Council, Misty Giles, the 24-year-old engineer from Dallas, Texas, is voted out 5-2 and becomes the third castaway voted out of SURVIVOR: PANAMA--EXILE ISLAND. Intimidating intelligence and a lackluster performance in the Immunity Challenge seals Misty's fate with the male-dominated tribe, which sends her packing. Blindsided by the vote, Misty admits, "Tonight definitely was a shock to me. I didn't see it coming for sure."
FOLLOW THE LEADER
Returning from an emotional tribal council in which Melinda Hyder is voted out of the game, Casaya welcomes Bruce as Melinda's replacement. Casaya, with no fire to boil their unpotable water and desperate for hydration, turns to Bruce. Citing his years as a backpacking instructor, Bruce devises a system of layered tee shirts to filter the contaminated water. Skeptical of his filtration system, Courtney admits, "I have to tell you, I've also worked in wilderness, and I'm shocked and awed that this method actually gets bacteria out of the water."
