The "Survivor Astronaut" survives

Former shuttle astronaut Dan Barry continues to plod through "Survivor Panama" and there appears to be little threat of him being voted off the show anytime soon. He's older than a lot of the contestants, but continues to hold his own in what appear to be extremely physically demanding tasks, all while practically starving to death. In Thursday's installment, his tribe lost a battle for some badly needed fish and spice (and a bottle of wine to boot). They did get a tub of beans, but those only provided more pain and agony. Everyone who ate them was up all night sick, in the worst ways. In any event, the tribe won the important challenge and did not have to vote anyone out this week. The number of castaways is down to 11, and my guess is Dan is going to be on the show for at least another month or so.
