Surivor Exile Island - Episode 3

Well, it looked like La Mina tribe was going to continue its dominance by winning what was possibly the most awesome reward challenge in the history of Survivor. The competing tribes had to run down the beach, dig up some big bags of sand, and race back to the starting point. But, they were both looking for the same bags and were allowed to tackle, wrestle, sit-on, and otherwise hamper their opponents. It was great! The black chick that almost got voted out in Episode 1 really proved her worth in this one.

Oh, yeah, the reward was a tarp and some rope and a couple of water cans.

Anyway, Casaya lost . . . again. Bad enough they missed out on the tarp, etc., but La Mina also got to banish one of their number to Exile Island. They really stuck it to Bruce, the Asian guy, who had just returned. They made him go back!

That must've been enough to light Casaya's fire. They came back and won the immunity challenge the next day. So, La Mina had to face its first tribal council.

After a lot of politicking, it came down to two people: the older lady Ruth Marie (who I couldn't pick out of a line-up to this day, no personality) and Misty, the chick with the cowboy hat who got stuck on Exile Island in Episode 1.

Despite her best efforts, which included numerous massages of her fellow tribe mates, Misty took the walk of shame.
