| - Survivor: Panama - Exile Island (Survivor: Exile Island or Survivor: Panama for short) is a fanfic based on the twelfth season of Survivor, which took place in the Pearl Islands, off the coast of Panama. This location was previously used for Survivor: Pearl Islands and Survivor: All-Stars. The season premiered on February 1, 2006. The season finale was on August 21, 2006 with the votes revealed live. The season included a twist that originally came from Survivor: Palau called Exile Island. Each week at least one castaway is banished for the time period between Tribal Council and the reward challenge on Exile Island. In most cases, this is the castaway that recieved the second-most amount of votes at Tribal Council. The exile is given a single machete, a flint, a pot and a bucket of non-sanitized water. The island also contained a hidden immunity idol that could be used at tribal council after the votes have been cast. This gave the person who found the idol a strategic advantage because that person can keep the idol secret until he or she was voted off, which would cause the person with the second largest number of votes to be eliminated. As it developed, Ruth-Marie found the idol and used it at the Final 7 to eliminate Terry. The game began by splitting the 16 players into four tribes by sex and age: young men (Viveros, green buffs), older men (La Mina, orange buffs), young women (Bayoneta, blue buffs) and older women (Casaya, purple buffs). These four tribes were named after four islands located in the Pearl Islands. During the second episode the La Mina and Bayoneta tribes were dissolved with only Casaya and Viveros making two new integrated tribes. The nine remaining contestants merged into one tribe, and called their new tribe Rocoso (black buffs). In a 5-2 vote, Tina Scheer defeated Ruth-Marie Milliman to take the $1 million prize. Tina Scheer, Austin Carty, Cirie Fields, Bruce Kanegai and Danielle DiLorenzo all returned to Survivor All Stars: Belize where they all belonged to Gibraelon tribe. They finished to 10th, 19th, 5th, 9th and 8th respectively. Ruth Marie Milliman, Aras Baskauskas and Terry Deitz also returned to Survivor: Micronesia Fans vs Favorites season as part of Favorites tribe. They finished 15th, 7th and 13th respectively.
