Last year, I endured the
physical and psychological rigors of trying to survive on
one of television's most popular reality shows,
"Survivor: Panama, Exile Islands." While on the
island, I faced physical challenges, made friends and
enemies, lost 27 pounds, and fought for my
"survival." I finished third place - a victory for
me on many levels.

It was a high-stakes battle
that didn't have a clear-cut favorite -- but, as always, in
the end there was one "Survivor."
(Spoiler alert: Those still waiting to
watch Sunday's season-ending "Survivor: Panama, Exile
Island," you've been warned.)
Season: 12th
Location: Pearl Islands, Panama Tribes: Viveros (Green Buffs), Bayoneta (Blue
Buffs), La Mina (Orange Buffs), Casaya (Purple
Buffs), Gitanos - Merged (Black Buffs) Players: 16 Notable Events: Players were divided into 4
tribes: younger men, older men, younger women, older
women.
The season also 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 the reward challenge
and the immunity
challenge on Exile Island. The island contained a
hidden immunity
idol that could be used at tribal council after the votes have
been cast.
