BACKSTABBED! Ruth Marie Run Off
Going to their second straight Tribal Council, La Mina's male alliance flexes their muscles by voting out Ruth Marie Milliman, the 48-year-old director of retail leasing from Greenville, South Carolina. Ruth Marie's diminutive stature and unimpressive challenge performance are cited as weaknesses, but no one denies her loyalty. With her freshly extinguished torch still smoking, Ruth Marie remains positive until the end: "I'm not upset about their decision. It's a game, it's fun, there's lots of twists and turns."
ODD WOMAN OUT
On the heels of a Tribal Council in which a male-dominated vote cast out Misty, Sally questions her own standing with La Mina. "Last night we went to Tribal Council, and Misty was voted out. The guys had said the vote was going to be for Ruth Marie, so it seems I am the odd woman out." Sally determines to work hard, hoping to prove she's valuable to the men.
FIFTH WHEEL
While Sally bemoans her rank in camp, Ruth Marie couldn't be happier with her tribe. Anticipating a merge, the male alliance recognizes the need for a fifth person in their pact and clandestinely offers the position to Ruth Marie. Dan intones, "I don't think Sally feels like a part of this team, and I think when a merge comes, she will drop us like a stone. But with Ruth Marie, I think she'll stay with that group of five all the way to the end."
