Spoiler Warning: The rest of this article is a spoiler…
On the previews for Survivor Panama Exile Island, we have seen previews of someone being carted off by boat. We have since seen two medical emergencies - Bruce, and Shane. I had been guessing that it was Bruce who was taken away for a day, and that they simply edited out the evacuation.
You'll recall that there was discussion at the time, about Bruce only being gone for a day. One commentator said the editing is up to the producers, but the promos are up to the individual networks. Could it be that the three-week-break promos were covering the rest of the season, not just the upcoming episode? It would appear so!
The spoiler is below!
The medical emergency was not Shane. Nor was it Bruce.
According to an Internet source, it is Courtney Marit who gets seriously injured and is removed from the game by medical evacuation. She becomes the second person in the history of the series to be removed due to serious injury.
You can see the reference about halfway down the web page here:

So perhaps the preview was telling us an upcoming event, and we'll still be seeing it!
To be sure, that is all I know of the situation. I have no idea if this information is reliable or not. We will see!
