Survivor Panama Finale - May 14th  5/15/06

The show begins with Cirie and Danielle fighting for the final three spot. Cirie and Danielle go back and forth with their flames, but in the end Danielle builds a better fire and burns her rope. Cirie is now a member of the jury. 

The next challenge is for reward. Aras is leading for most of the challenge, but Terry comes from behind and wins. The reward is a good meal, and a cot and pillow for the winner to sleep in the night before the final challenge. Aras tells Danielle that one of them need to win to get Terry out of the game. 

The next day they have to go to Exile Island and take the torches of all the fallen Survivors and place them on the skull. The final challenge is a balance challenge in the water. The three spend time 15 minutes on platforms. Terry is out of the challenge first, then Aras falls off, nodding at Danielle. Both think Danielle is with them and she is having a tough time deciding who to take with her. She ends up voting out Terry, making Danielle and Aras the final 2. 

Danielle and Aras get to have a good meal before they meet with the jury. As they as walking near the water, Aras falls down on a rock and the medics have to come stitch his hand up.

Time to meet with the jury. Some of the questions follow: Sally asks "Who of the Casaya tribe contributed to you being where you are?" Both say Cirie. Bruce asks "Beyond the million dollars, what are you going to do with that responsibility? Danielle would want to share her experiences and inspire people. 

Terry - Rate yourself with the competitions (1-9). Aras- 9, Danielle 8 1/2 or 9. Both feel they worked hard at the challenges. Courtney - What did you learn about yourself that you will take from the game? Cirie- Why should her vote be for the person next to you? Shane - Thinks Terry should be the winner of the game. Wants Danielle and Aras to choose a number between 1 and a million. Whoever is closest wins his vote. We see only 2 votes - Bruce votes for Danielle, Terry for Aras. 

And the winner of Survivor Panama is... Aras.
