This Week A Castaway Spends One of the Worst Nights in "Survivor" History  2/15/06

THE BANISHED CASTAWAY SPENDS A HORRIFIC NIGHT ON EXILE ISLAND, ON "SURVIVOR: PANAMA -- EXILE ISLAND," THURSDAY, FEB. 16

"Crazy Fights, Snake Dinners" -- The castaway banished to Exile Island faces one of the worst nights in SURVIVOR history, on SURVIVOR: PANAMA -- EXILE ISLAND, Thursday, Feb. 16 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

The Survivor chosen to go to Exile Island desperately tries to endure a horrendous night of bitingly cold winds and torrential rain with no shelter for protection. One castaway proves to be an all-star at the Reward Challenge which then brings a major win for a starving tribe. Bickering starts early for one tribe and leaves some castaways questioning there premature alliances. Call it superstition or plain coincidence, but one group's interesting dinner gives more than strength to a weak tribe.

And, the third member is voted out of the tribe.
