In Call the Whambulence! (Episode 14), Aras wins reward and selecting Cirie to join him in the reward. Danielle and Terry are sent to Exile Island. Aras wins the immunity, breaking Terry's win streak. Terry, being the last La Mina member, would be a likely candidate for elimination, but it turns out to be a deadlock vote between Cirie and Danielle, since Terry has the Hidden Immunity Idol. Aras and Cirie voted for Danielle, and Terry and Danielle voted for Cirie. Cirie lost the tiebreaker challenge and became the sixth member of the Jury.

Season Finale
In the season finale The Final Showdown (Episode 15), Terry wins the reward challenge. Danielle wins the Final Immunity Challenge, which allows her to select who she is going to the Final Two with. Danielle casts the sole vote and makes Terry the seventh and final member of the jury. Danielle and Aras face the jury.

At the Survivor: Panama - Exile Island Reunion Show, Aras is announced the winner by a vote of 5-2. Aras received the votes of Austin, Sally, Courtney, Cirie, and Terry, while losing the votes of Bruce and Shane.
