Tina Scheer, the first person voted off of (out of?) 'Survivor: Panama - Exile Island', appeared on 'The Early Show this morning.
The entire interview can be read on the CBS website.
A few excerpts which caught my interest:
One of the main reasons for her departure was her tribemate, Cirie. In The Early Show's secret scene, Cirie doesn't mince her words.
As to whether she made a mistake in taking a leadership role so soon, Tina said she was just doing what had to be done. "I don't feel like I was taking a leadership role to start," she told Syler. "To me it was like, somebody's got to do it.
I think that the latter was a huge error. From reading what she said, it doesn't seem that she's aware that not only was she doing the things which needed doing, but she was getting the others working, as well. That is leading and it often is off-putting especially in the beginning of the show. In the article, she made mention that she kept the death of her son to herself. I understand her reasons for it. But, when she went off by herself crying, I think it made matters worse that the other women had no clue what was up with her. Had she told them, I think they would have been a bit more understanding about that aspect. It wouldn't help her with Foot In Her Mouth Leadership Stuff, though.
What do you think?

Tina was the most qualified person on the team. It was obvious. It was a triad of insecurity that led to Tina's departure. Too bad. I guess Survivor is not about who is most qualified to "survive" in the wilderness -- who rather, who can connive and manipulate others.
It will be interesting to see what happens to the trio, now that they got rid of the one they needed most.
Regardless, I think the four team situation has resulted in a true competitor being the first voted out. With the normal two tribes, she would have made the first cut, even if she was rubbing a few the wrong way with premature leading.
