Thanks mostly to the entertainingly destructive Shane, the Casaya tribe remains as wacky as ever. Meanwhile, the brooding he-men of La Mina got spanked again in a combined reward/immunity challenge and had to jettison astronaut Dan.

"Survivor" may never have had such a contrast in teams: the members of Casaya, which still includes South Carolina's Cirie Fields, seem to do everything by the seat of their pants, while LaMina strategizes like worker ants.

Except for Cirie, the Casaya members seem to have bees in their buffs. Bruce builds a rock garden and practices karate moves. Shane insults Danielle and Courtney and longs for — and finally gets — a cigarette. Courtney does yoga on Bruce's precious garden. Danielle tends toward sullen and lazy and dazed-and-confused. Aras doesn't know whom to befriend. Cirie just has to stick to a low profile and hope Shane resumes antagonizing Danielle and Courtney.

Sample dialogue:

Shane:" "I don't like Danielle. She's a meatball."

Danielle: "Shane is a lunatic."

Courtney: "He's a freak."

The four men of LaMina would have voted off Sally after they lost the challenge, but she was moved out of the line of fire when the winning Casaya got to pick one of losing LaMina's tribe members to go to Exile Island — they chose Sally.

Next week: No one seems safe on Casaya, including Cirie, and if LaMina loses, the fellas will go after Sally. If there's a merger, the gals could unify, but the guys still outnumber them.
