The immunity challenge when Pagong was up 6-5 over Tagi before the merge. They had an obstacle course challenge. Pagong was a MUCH more athletic tribe than Tagi and took the lead immediately and held it. At that point you are wondering who Tagi is going to vote out. Then - poof! - a quick camera cut - and now somehow Tagi is in the lead and they win. I will always think that the Tagi victory was "engineered" somehow because Burnett wanted both tribes at equal strength going into the merge. One major thing that has always bugged me about Borneo…

I can't believe anyone could support it. The idea that it stops people from bringing goats to the end is stupid when Earl did it the second season they had one.

Great to hear in depth discussion of the early seasons. I can't wait to hear more. One thing I thought would be discussed was Borneo episode 3 when Pagong ate the rat. That was amazing back then. I always thought the Africa F4 IC Scandal led to CBS eliminating the Fallen Comrades challenge. After Marquesas (which was filmed before the Africa mishap was discovered), I don't think it has been used again. Awesome podcast. Great to hear in depth discussion of the early seasons. I can’t wait to hear more.

I've never missed an episode since Episode One in Borneo except for the Vanuatu episode that aired Thanksgiving week (I think I watched it a few years later). One thing you didn't mention was the whole "Gervase X" scandal: "Amidst the fervor that swept the nation during Survivor: Borneo, a hacker announced that he had gained access to an area of the CBS Survivor website containing a photo array of the 16 contestants. An "X" was displayed across the picture of everyone except Peterson. This led many to believe that the network had inadvertently revealed Peterson to be the winner. A few episodes later he was voted off, and CBS admitted that its so-called snafu was done purposely to fool viewers and pundits as a way of keeping the true winner's identity secret." (from Poniewozik, James. "Aaargh! CBS Is Playing 'Survivor' Mind Games", TIME, August 3, 2000.) I’m listening (and enjoying) right now and you’ve just started talking about Australia.

Cook Islands is one of the more slow seasons with few blindsides and an average cast at best. Obvioulsy Yul was a great winner and many of the cast went on to be big players in future seasons, but Cook Islands itself is one of the more uninterseting seasons out there, in my opinion. I would go so far as to say it is the second worst season, behind redemption Island. Of course the great thing about Survivor is that we all find different things to enjoy and will therefore enjoy different seasons. Hey Rob, I couldnt disagree more.

Despite the theme. the way the show breaks down and how one tribe comes back to dominate the larger one just by Yul Kwon's strategic ability/idol play and Ozzie's competition skills was fantastic to watch! But yeah Yul never came back sadly, he was my fav.

The guy is a retard guys! He might use lesser known words but he certainly doesn't use them correctly. I have a degree in English and I can assure you that the guy has no idea what he is talking about. He said "I took my personality to a different lodestar". You cant take your personality to a different lodestar. He could have said something like "The tribal lodestar is certainly not me". The word loadstar is a noun similar to the word leader. Both words are pretty much interchangeable. "I took my personality to a different leader" That makes no sense right!? The guy is a total idiot. He then goes on to say that leif saying 'Explanate' is a neologism. This is also incorrect! A neologism is the word used to describe a newly invented word that has yet to make an appearance in the dictionary. For example a couple of years ago 'Podcast' was considered a neologism. It has nothing to do with someone trying to say a normal word and then butchering it, like Leif did. Tarzan even goes on to define neologism for Jeff and he completely gets it wrong...So the two 'big words' he used to try and impress everyone were both words he didn't know how to use nor understand properly himself. Then on this latest episode we see Tarzan siding with Alicia over Christina after witnessing some of the nastiest bullying in Survivor history. The guy is absolutely clueless. After Alicia he is easily my least favourite survivor left. For a 60+ year old guy it seems he has absolutely no wisdom at all. First going along with Colton and then Alicia. Talk about bad judgement. I absolutely beg you to reconsider your collective opinion on this guy! I love your podcast and you guys are usually spot on but please, don't fall for this moron. Keep up the good work gentlemen :) Hello Tribe,
