<p>CERTAIN CASTAWAYS OPT OUT OF THE IMMUNITY CHALLENGE ON &quot;SURVIVOR: PANAMA -- EXILE ISLAND,&quot; THURSDAY, APRIL 13 </p>

"The Fight For Your Life or Eat" -- Certain castaways choose not to participate in the Immunity Challenge, on SURVIVOR: PANAMA -- EXILE ISLAND, Thursday, April 13 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

After host Jeff Probst offers the castaways a chance to feast on burgers instead of participating in the Immunity Challenge, some confident former Casaya members take the risk and indulge their hunger. With former tribe alliances firmly intact, the burden of beating the remaining former La Mina tribe mates, Terry and Sally, falls entirely on the only former Casaya member who chooses to participate in the challenge. Should this former Casaya member lose the challenge, it's quite possible one of these confident former Casaya members could be going home if Terry decides to use the Hidden Immunity Idol which he currently holds in his possession.

And, the ninth member is voted out of the tribe.
