Loyalty Not Enough For Ruth Marie

Alliance Breaks Down On 'Survivor: Panama — Exile Island'

(CBS)  The bickering has begun.

It's started over the tribal council's latest victim, Ruth Marie Milliman, a 48-year-old director of retail leasing in Greenville, S.C. Ruth Marie had been promised by retired-astronaut Dan that she would be part of an alliance on tribe La Mina, but not everyone else saw Dan's word as bond.

No doubt Ruth Marie has an impressive list of accomplishments —from being crowned the South Carolina Watermelon Queen to becoming a narcotics agent with South Carolina law enforcement — but that, and her promises of loyalty were not enough to persuade La Mina that she could do more for them than Sally, who had a strong showing in the immunity challenge.

Austin, Sally's advocate, convinced Terry that she was an asset during the Immunity Challenge, a complex task involving transporting water on balance beams.

"I thought it was going to take a water-into-wine type of miracle to pull Terry in keeping Sally as our fifth," Austin said. "Apparently I have some Jesus of Nazareth powers myself."

Tensions continue to rise in the latest episode of "Survivor: Panama — Exile Island," after the excitement over winning a "Survivor bathroom," complete with soap, towels and five gallons of water, in the Reward Challenge. Shane suggests using the wooden structure to house firewood, but outspoken Bobby draws ire when he hurries to use the non-flushing bathroom first, derailing Shane's plan.

In a surprising turn of events, Terry, who was banished to Exile Island, finds the immunity idol, which will grant him security up through the final four players. He is elusive about finding the idol when he gets back to his tribe, where they have been struggling for food and fire.

Last week, the 24-year-old engineer from Texas, Misty Giles, was sent packing. Visiting The Early Show the next morning, she told co-anchor Harry Smith she was completely surprised to be voted off — and very disappointed.

"It was tough going home. I was not ready. Not ready at all," she told Smith.

Misty and her tribemate, Sally, had used a personal touch — including flirting and massage — to win support from some of the male contestants. But ultimately, it didn't work.

"We were doing everything we could, using all the tools at our disposal to convince those younger men to align with us," Misty told Smith. "We're natural flirts and … logic wasn't working to convince them to stay with us."
