90. Episode 1005…The Best and Worst Reward Ever
March 16, 2005

The Survivors faced a twist that sent both of them to Tribal Council. Koror won the reward challenge, allowing them to not only sit in on Ulong’s Tribal Council, but to eat a meal while doing so. Before going to Koror’s first Tribal Council, Gregg told Coby of his plans to align with Coby and Janu at some point to oust Tom and Ian. Koror then went to Tribal Council, and unanimously voted off Willard. Ulong then came in, and made it became clear that Ibrehem was going to be voted off for messing up the past challenge. In yet another twist, Koror got to vote on one member of Ulong to win immunity. The votes went to Ibrehem, and when Ulong voted, the result was the first tie since the Marquesas finale (and the first ever tie with an odd number of Survivors voting). After a revote, however, there was no tie, and Angie was voted off.


89. Episode 304…The Young and Untrusted
November 1, 2001

When the older members of Samburu receive Tree Mail, they wake up the younger members upon learning that the reward challenge was in less than an hour. In an attempt to perk up the tribe, Linda gets rowdy and tries to hug Lindsey, who isn’t too happy with this. Linda jokes about Lindsey’s mother never hugging her. While hiking to get water, Boran encounters a cape bull, the most dangerous creature in Africa. After Boran won the immunity challenge, the older members (especially Linda) of Samburu felt vulnerable. Frank celebrated his 43rd birthday by carving his family’s names into his torch. The younger members tried to convince the older members to vote for Lindsey, who already had votes against her, in the event of a tiebreaker. They didn’t follow the order, and voted for Silas. But the younger members’ four votes for Linda were enough to send her home.


88. Episode 314…The Final Four: No Regrets
January 10, 2002

Lex confronted Tom over Teresa’s allegations that Tom wanted Lex gone. Tom denied it, and the two cooled off enough to enjoy the view from a nearby mountaintop with the other two contestants. The final four immunity challenge was Fallen Comrades once again. (It was eventually revealed that Lex answered a question correctly but didn’t receive a point, meaning that the outcome of the game may have ended up differently.) Kim J. won. Tom finally got the courage to vote for Lex, but Ethan and Kim sided with Lex in voting off Tom. The next day, the final three reflected on their time in Africa, before entering the final immunity challenge. The endurance challenge proved too difficult for Ethan and Lex, and Kim won once again. She decided to vote off Lex, and she and Ethan faced the jury. In a 5-2 vote, Ethan became the sole Survivor in Survivor: Africa.


87. Episode 914…Spirits and the Final Four
December 12, 2004

The final four immunity challenge was a vertical maze. In a close competition, Chris came out on top. Despite promising Eliza that he would force a tie against Twila at the next Tribal Council, he instead wrote down Eliza’s name, and she was booted 3-1. Chris also won the final immunity challenge, and chose Twila to sit with him in the final two, booting Scout. At a tear-and-rage-filled final Tribal Council, Twila was called out for lying after swearing on her son’s name, and Chris was called out as a BS-er. While Twila received two votes, the rest went to Chris. The man who almost found himself voted off first for losing the immunity challenge for the men had become the Sole Survivor.


86. Episode 211…Let’s Make a Deal
April 5, 2001

After Jerri’s boot, Amber begins to feel insecure with her Ogakor alliance. Keith is too busy singing “Ding Dong, the Witch is Dead” to care. But much more important was the quickly diminishing amount of rice. After an auction that gave the Survivors some much-needed treats, and an immunity challenge that Colby won, Jeff Probst came to camp, offering rice in exchange for the tribe’s shelter. They agreed. At Tribal Council, Nick became the third jury member.


85. Episode 604…Trapped
March 6, 2003

After the men won Coke at the reward challenge, Shawna complained that she was physically and mentally draining. But Jenna, Heidi, and Deena all felt that Shawna needed to stay in the game for strategic reasons. When the women lost immunity, Shawna received two votes, but the majority went to Joanna.


84. Episode 102…The Generation Gap
June 7, 2000

Pagong is struggling because workaholic BB thinks that almost everyone else on the tribe is lazy. After completing the shelter, BB tells the tribe that he wouldn’t mind being voted off. After Gervase loses to Stacey in a climactic bug-eating battle, Pagong heads to their first Tribal Council and grants BB his wish.


83. Episode 1013…It Could All Backfire
May 12, 2005

Despite promising Katie to take her if he won a reward, Ian chose to take Tom with him when he won the final reward challenge, leaving the three women, including a bitter Katie, back at camp. Katie again proposed a women’s alliance. When Ian and Tom returned, Ian and Katie had a brief fight, and then made up. However, it looked as though the women’s alliance was still strong. However, at Tribal Council, Caryn went berserk, lashing out on Ian, and she soon found herself unanimously voted out of the game.


TIE: 81. Episode 603…Girl Power
February 27, 2003

The reward challenge gave the Survivors an opportunity to talk and flirt with the other team. The women won hygiene products, and the “younger, cuter” women went to bathe alone. When the men lost immunity again, they unanimously decided to vote off Daniel.


TIE: 81. Episode 602…Storms
February 20, 2003

Both tribes had disputes between two members. Roger and Alex had a tense fight about homosexuality, while Joanna’s peculiar behavior (believing it was sacrilegious, she did not want the Immunity Idol at camp) caused Christy to argue with her about Joanna’s beliefs. Later, the women found a granola bar hidden in their storage container. Fingers pointed at Janet, who was voted off after the women lost immunity.

My thoughts on this group: I'm a sucker for those auction "challenges" so I probably would have liked to see Outback episode 11 higher. Also, the Vanuatu finale wasn't fantastic, but should have been higher. The Africa finale is my second least-favorite after Outback, so while it should have been higher than that one, I have no problem with it where it is. The two Palau episodes here...episode 13 was ok but the Tribal Council bumped it up and it should be higher IMHO. Episode 5 was one of the most intense episodes in Survivor history, and the only reason I can see it ranking this low is because it moved too fast. As for the BB boot episode of Borneo, that was definitely my least favorite episode of the season, so no problem with it being here.

As for the Outback finale...you'll be seeing it sooner than later.
