'Survivor: Panama - Exile Island' East Coast Update - Immunity Challenge

The older women lost the Immunity Challenge and will go to Tribal Council.

Younger women came in first, then older men, then younger men (who were way behind for a long time). These three tribes all have Immunity.

'Survivor: Panama - Exile Island' - East Coast Update - Rewards/First Exile

The younger women lost the first rewards challenge -- Misty was chosen with rock, paper, scissors to stay on Exile Island.

The other three tribes (older men, younger men, older women) all won fire.

Tonight's 'Survivor: Panama - Exile Island' Blogging Schedule

I know I have lots of folks reading here from the West Coast who love East Coast show night spoilers. Alas, Blogger's various feeds aren't as instant as the AOL Alerts are for AOL Members.

My plan of action for blogging tonight's show which starts at 8 PM ET and runs for a mere hour (grr) is:
Major occurrences, I throw in a quick entry. These would be things like someone gets killed :::grin::: (okay, that probably won't happen), someone gets sent to Exile Island, wins Immunity or Rewards and then the boot at 9 PM ET. Later on tonight, well after the show, I'll sit and write up a more comprehensive review. If you come aboard the blog and feel the boot entry should be there, sometimes hitting the Archive for this month on the sidebar will bring up recently posted entries. I'll also be updating my Jackie's Survivor Blog/Web Links Reference as I post the entries, so you could check there.

Survivor Fans READY? :-)

New 'Amazing Race 9' Cast: A Closer Look at Yolanda Brown-Moore & Ray Whitty

Yolanda Brown-Moore is a 27 year old science teacher while Ray Whitty is a 31 year old lawyer. They both live in Chicago and the show dubs them as the DATING couple. They've dated for five years.

From their CBS bio page, it's found that both are originally natives of Florida. Yolanda is from Gainesville; Ray is from Jacksonville. Yolanda taught math and science in Miami before recently moving in with Ray in Chicago where he went in relationship to his work (lawyer, remember).

Hmmm... maybe a slight uh-oh! They say Ray is the more disciplined between the two, but both can be opinionated and a bit stubborn. Well, I hope not between themselves! I, for one, have seen enough bickering couples. I don't mind it if they're opinionated and stubborn towards other teams -- I actually like that and feel it could provide incentive for a better race. Uh-oh...! Yolanda says she sometimes has trouble finishing what she started and Ray said she often runs late. Well, now. I just don't know how they'll do. They work out together and are certainly young enough (but not way young) to win, place or show. I just don't know. What do you think?

Here are the websites/article(s) I found out on the web about them -- keep in mind some may archive or need registration to view:
Brinks Hofer Gilson & Lione - Professional Biographies *Ray
Gator Women's Track & Field Roster/Bios @ Gatorzone.com *Yolanda college track w/photo
Alligator Story Tons of sport stuff on Yolanda is out there -- she was an All American woman track star in college. The CBS bio doesn't mention that at all.
