Trivia:

Earl Cole was the first Survivor winner to earn a unanimous vote from the jury during the Fiji season. James "J.T." Thomas Jr. also won in a unanimous vote from the Tocantins jury; J.T. also became the first winner ever to get all the votes in a two-person final jury and the first winner to never have a single negative vote against him. Earl, Tom Westman in Fiji, and Sandra Diaz-Twine all had one negative vote, with Tom and Sandra's lone negative votes from the final juries.

Spoofed in Survivin' the Island (2002)

Fresh and Exciting..One of the best editions of Survivor Yet.

For some reason it seems that the odd numbered survivor seasons aren't as good (Except for Season 1 of course). Example: Africa- The scenery was boring and some of the cast was interesting but overall it wasn't anything great. Thailand- Probably the worst ever. The location was good but the cast was the worst yet. But FINALLY that curse has ended because PEARL ISLANDS is Great.

First off- the location is perfect. I really like the pirate theme, its one that hasn't been used yet and it works.

Secondly the cast is awesome. Rupert is one of my all-time favorite Survivors. He's Richard Hatch with a heart. Osten is something else, a lazy guy with a good personality. Jon is a pain-in-the-ass and probably the most annoying Survivor since Lindsey on Survivor 3. Jon is so smug, but he does make the game interesting, even though you want to strangle him.

Overall- This is the only really watchable Reality Show in my opinion and Mark Burnett is really talented. He changes things every week so people don't get sick of it. Can't wait for season 8!! ALL STARS!
