Survivor Panama

The good guy wins again! Aras Baskaukas the "yoga" guy won it all that season. He had the whole game under his control the whole time too.

But this season had a lot of first. It debuted Exile Island (which is used several times in the proceeding seasons) and had an interesting twist challenge with an "opinion" poll about the other Survivors to show folks what others on their tribe thought about them. It was a good play they haven't done in while but it's due for another comeback, I'd love to see.

But there were other characters I enjoyed too. Shane, the crazy guy who used a rock as a blackberry. I've always wanted to see him come back and rumor has it that he wants to come back but for some reason the producers won't let him.

Other mentionable characters was the honorable Terry and the evil Cirie. Though Cirie would be asked back (3 times!) Terry never was.

Fun Fact:

The very forgettable contestant Danielle, who rode Aras coattails all the way to the end was actually asked BACK on the show years later! She was so forgettable that even I had to look her up when she was announced for the new season. Seriously Survivor, are you hurting for female characters so bad that you had to use someone NOBODY even remembered?!
