Survivor: Pulau Tiga

The Television & Movie Wiki: for TV, celebrities, and movies.

Image:SurvPuTi.jpgSurvivor: Borneo was the first installment of the popular United States reality show Survivor. It was originally broadcast under the name Survivor but was later referred to as Survivor: Borneo, Survivor I, or Survivor: Pulau Tiga to distinguish it from subsequent installments of the series. It's official title now is Survivor: Borneo. It is also notable that this season also had the only time in which the reveal of the final jury votes were taped, while still in the Tribal Council.

The show was filmed during 2000 and aired later that year on CBS. It was set on the island of Pulau Tiga in the state of Sabah, off the coast of Borneo, Malaysia. The two initial tribes were Pagong and Tagi. As the table shows, after the merge all of the remaining Pagong contestants were eliminated before the Tagi tribe began to turn on itself. Thus, in Survivor fandom the term "Pagonging" has been used to describe the same pattern.

The show was a phenomenal success and led to several subsequent series and a number of other reality shows. Four of the sixteen contestants became a part of Survivor All Stars: Richard Hatch, Rudy Boesch, Sue Hawk, and Jenna Lewis.

The entire season was released on DVD on May 11, 2004.

Elimination notes

Sonja Christopher - Stumbled in the immunity challenge, and was the oldest and weakest Tagi member. Sue broke the women's alliance to help vote Sonja out 4-3-1.
B.B. Andersen - Cantankerous Anderesen clashed with younger tribemates and asked to be voted out the first time they lost an immunity challenge. (voted out 6-2)
Stacey Stillman - Her tribemates viewed her as prissy and the weakest physical player. Stillman claimed producers forced two of her tribemates to vote against her, but the allegations were settled out of court. (voted out 5-2)
Ramona Gray - Gray was weak and sick for most of her time in camp. By the time she began to recover, it was too late to establish herself with Pagong. (voted out 4-2-1)
Dirk Been - Tribemates were concerned about his increasingly gaunt frame. He was also a victim of the new alliance between Richard, Sue, Kelly and Rudy. (voted out 4-1-1)
Joel Klug - Some of his teammates felt he was sexist, and were also alienated when he suggested their team vote in an alliance after the merge. (voted out 4-2)
Gretchen Cordy - After the merge, Tagi targeted Gretchen due to her being Pagong's leader. Although the teams were evenly divided, Pagong's votes were scattered, and 4 Tagi votes were enough to eliminate Gretchen.
Greg Buis - Targeted by the Tagi alliance due to his physical strength and manipulative personality. (voted out 6-3)
Jenna Lewis - Tagi alliance considered her too talkative and irritating. (voted out 4-3-1)
Gervase Peterson - One of the last remaining members of Pagong, Gervase was eliminated because he was a stronger physical threat than the other Pagong, Colleen. (voted out 5-2)
Colleen Haskell - The Tagi alliance had split with Kelly, but Kelly won immunity, thus ensuring Colleen was voted out 4-2.
Sean Kenniff - Another immunity victory by Kelly led to his 4-1 departure.
Sue Hawk - Kelly won immunity again. At final 4, Kelly and Sue voted for Richard and Richard and Rudy voted for Sue. Jeff made them vote again, and Kelly changed her vote to Sue.
Rudy Boesch - Kelly won the final immunity challenge and thought Rudy was likely to beat her in the final vote.
Kelly Wiglesworth - defeated 4-3 in the final vote. Obtained the votes of Colleen, Gervase and Jenna.
Richard Hatch - sole survivor. Obtained the votes of Sue, Rudy, Sean and Greg.
