Survivor: Panama
Sally Schumann, being 26 at the time, was placed on the Bayoneta tribe which consisted of younger women. Unfortunately, Bayoneta lost the inagural challenge and had to leave someone at Exile Island. The girls decided that Misty Giles would stay. At camp, Sally was annoyed when the women could not find a place to build a shelter. Despite the dysfunction of the tribe, The women rallied together to win the first Immunity Challenge.

On Day 4, Bayoneta was dissolved and the tribes become two. During a schoolyard pick, Sally was the first person selected by Terry Deitz to be one the new La Mina tribe. Sally then picked Austin Carty who would pick Misty to be on the  integrated tribe. La Mina would go on to win the following three challenges. During the time, Sally solidified her friendship with Misty, and both women tried to ally with Austin and Nick Stanbury. When La Mina lost the next Immunity Challenge, Sally assumed Ruth-Marie Milliman was going home for being the physically weakest person on the tribe. However, she was shocked when Misty received the most votes and was eliminated.

Casaya won the next three challenges, Leaving Sally was in danger because she was most alienated of the group, but she was spared for the men viewed her as much stronger than Ruth-Marie. La Mina managed to break Casaya's winning streak by winning immunity, keeping Sally safe again. Sadly, Sally along with Dan Barry faltered on the puzzle of the next Reward/Immunity Challenge, giving Casaya the win and the numbers in a 6-4 advantage. The Casaya tribe decided to exile Sally, giving her Immunity, but preventing her from voting. Knowing that she would have been voted out, Sally considered Exile Island her saving grace.

On Day 16, After her stay on Exile Island, she arrived at Casaya beach. Initially confused by this, she realized the tribes had merged. Despite efforts by Terry and Austin, no Casaya flipped over to La Mina. Sally watched as her allies Nick and Austin were eliminated. At the next Immunity Challenge, the remaining castaways were given an option of competing for Immunity or eating cheeseburgers. Sally would be the only woman to compete along against Terry and Aras Baskauskas. Despite her best efforts, Terry won immunity and he didn't give her his idol. Being the last member of La Mina without immunity, Sally was voted out 6-2. As a Juror, she cast her vote for Aras to win.
