Survivor: Pearl Islands
Survivor: Pearl Islands is the seventh season of Survivor, held in, Pearl Islands, Panama. There are two Tribes, made up of eight people each. In Survivor, the two Tribes compete in Reward Challenges, to gain food and supplies and then they compete in Immunity Challenges. The winning Tribe guarantees that all Tribe members are safe a few more days while the losing Tribe must go to Tribal Council and vote somebody off. During this process, each Tribe lives on separate beaches and must build a shelter, make fire and catch and cook food to survive. This season also had the first and only "Outcast Twist". Unbeknownst to the castaways, the first several people who were voted off did not go home and were instead taken to a separate island, off camera, where they lived in much the same conditions until they had enough numbers to compete against the two live Tribes and once they won, they were able to vote two of their members back into the game. Once a certain amount of players have been voted off, the two Tribes merge to form one Tribe. They then compete for individual Rewards, where one (or more if the winner gets a chance to select somebody to accompany them), castaway enjoys food or some sort of cultural experience. They also compete for individual Immunity, where the person that wins cannot be voted out at Tribal Council and one of the others is voted out. However, the person that wins Immunity has a chance to give Immunity to someone else and become vulnerable themselves. At a certain point, the voted out castaways become members of the Jury, who, once down to the final competitors, vote for who they think should win the million dollars. The finalist with the most votes is deemed the sole survivor.

Trivia
- This is the first season to have the castaways start the game with the clothes on their back and not bring anything else, except for another pair of shoes.
- The Drake tribe won the first six challenges in a row, setting the record for most consecutive tribal challenges won. This record stood until the Moto tribe in Survivor: Fiji topped this feat by winning the first nine challenges in a row.
- This is the first time contestants were given a second chance to play the game after being voted out, and the only time outside of seasons that featured Redemption Island or Edge of Extinction.
- Because Osten's departure from the show was regarded as less than honorable, his final words were not broadcast during the end credits as they would have had he actually been voted out (nor were they posted on the show's official website at the time). Osten's torch was excluded from the Rites of Passage ritual. It was instead shown lying on the ground at the Tribal Council area, after the final three had finished walking the path.
- This season marks the only time that nobody won individual immunity at an Immunity Challenge. The Day 37 Immunity Challenge involved the Jury, who defeated the castaways - another Survivor first.
- Sandra Diaz-Twine is the first Hispanic-American player to win Survivor. She would be later followed by Chris Underwood in Survivor: Edge of Extinction.
- This season ended the Sole Survivor male-female pattern that existed in the first six seasons.
- This is the only pre-Survivor: All-Stars season to be represented in Survivor: Micronesia. Jon Dalton returned for the later season, where he placed 20th.
- This is the only season where the winner of an individual Immunity Challenge does not wear a necklace. Instead, the winner wears a cutlass in a scabbard on his or her shoulder.
- This is the first season in which votes were cast for (and not against) players in a vote other than the Final Tribal Council. It was followed by Survivor: Palau.
- This is the first season to have tribe names derived from the English language.
- This is the first season to have an episode end with a cliffhanger.
- This is the first season where all castaways win at least one challenge.
- This season is tied with Survivor: The Australian Outback and Survivor: Cook Islands for being represented six times each in seasons that featured Returning Players.
