Survivor: All Stars (Courtesy Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Survivor: All-Stars is the eighth season of the American CBS competitive reality television series Survivor. It was filmed from November 3, 2003 through December 11, 2003 and premiered on February 1, 2004 after Super Bowl XXXVIII. It was set on the Pearl Islands of Panama, where the previous season Survivor: Pearl Islands had just wrapped up. Hosted by Jeff Probst, it consisted of the usual 39 days of gameplay with, for the first time, 18 competitors instead of the usual 16, and three tribes instead of the usual two.

The winner was Amber Brkich, who was declared the Sole Survivor after a victory over Rob "Boston Rob" Mariano with a 4-3 jury vote. At the end of the live reunion show, a twist called America's Tribal Council was announced. It involved the public voting to award a second million-dollar prize. Rupert Boneham won the million dollars over runners up Mariano, Colby Donaldson, and Tom Buchanan.

This season was released on DVD on September 14, 2004.

Casting

Several former castaways claimed to have either declined the offer to return for All-Stars or been cut from the cast.

Mark Burnett confirmed that two people turned down formal offers to appear on the All-Stars edition of Survivor: Elisabeth Filarski Hasselbeck from The Australian Outback, who had recently taken a job as a co-host of The View, and Colleen Haskell of the show's premiere season, who "had moved on with her life" and "just genuinely didn't want to go through that again." In an interview on The Early Show, Survivor: Pearl Islands winner Sandra Diaz-Twine also confirmed that she turned down an offer to join the show, saying that she was still recovering from parasites that she received during Pearl Islands, while Survivor: Thailand winner Brian Heidik claimed that he would have returned only if he had been given a participation stipend, a condition to which the producers did not agree. Diaz-Twine would later return for Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains. Jenna Morasca, winner of Survivor: The Amazon stated that her fellow tribemate Heidi Strobel had also declined the offer to appear on All-Stars. Hunter Ellis from Survivor: Marquesas also claims to have turned down an offer to appear on the show, as did Jon "Jonny Fairplay" Dalton of Pearl Islands; Fairplay later returned for Survivor: Micronesia.

Castaways who were purportedly cut include Rodger Bingham from The Australian Outback; Gina Crews, Sean Rector, Neleh Dennis, and Vecepia Towery from Marquesas; and Clay Jordan and Helen Glover from Thailand. Ken Stafford from Thailand was cast as an alternate, and Kelly Goldsmith from Africa said that she was cast as alternate for Jenna Morasca or Shii Ann Huang, but both were able to participate. Teresa Cooper from Africa stated that she was cut and replaced by Tina Wesson; Cooper was later included in the poll to return for Survivor: Cambodia, but was ultimately not selected.

Burnett jokingly said that "the casting was really, really scientific. I got a yellow legal pad and wrote down 24 names, and [then] cut down to 18. It was that quick."

Season summary

Eighteen players from previous seasons were divided into three tribes of six: Chapera, Mogo Mogo, and Saboga. Saboga lost the first two immunity challenges and, during a shelter-building challenge, built a shelter that quickly flooded. Saboga's poor conditions caught up to them and, after losing a crucial reward challenge, the four remaining members were divided between the other two tribes. Chapera accepted the newcomers, Rupert and Jenna L., and the two entered a solid majority alliance with de facto leader Rob M. and his closest ally and romantic interest Amber. Rob and Amber also had alliances with the other members of the tribe, however a winning streak ensured that they never had to break any of them. Mogo Mogo struggled after Lex decided to vote out the stronger members of the tribe in order to cement his control, causing Mogo Mogo to continually lose challenges and approach the merge in the minority.

Two players voluntarily left the game. Jenna Morasca, fearing for her mother's health, decided to drop out on Day 9 and return to her mother's side; her mother would die eight days later from cancer. Sue Hawk also left, distraught after an incident during an immunity challenge in which a naked Richard Hatch had brief but inappropriate bodily contact with her.

With ten players remaining, a tribal switch was held where players drew new buffs out of a bag. In an unorthodox twist of fate, each player simply drew a buff of the opposite tribe color except Amber, with the net effect of having Amber forced into the old Mogo Mogo tribe under the Chapera name. After Chapera lost the next immunity challenge, Rob whispered a deal to Lex to save Amber, promising that he will make it up to him later in the game. With regards to their friendship, Lex convinced the rest of his tribe to vote out Jerri instead. The next day, the remaining players were merged into the Chaboga Mogo tribe and Rob went back on his deal and led the charge to vote out Lex, who he believed was his greatest rival and leader of the minority alliance, much to the heart-break of the latter for breaking the friendship.

Rob and his former tribe mates continued to dominate the rest of the game, systematically eliminating the rest of Lex's alliance. Rob and Amber then honored their deal with Rupert and Jenna L., eliminating the rest of the original Chapera tribe. After convincing Jenna to vote Rupert out in order to avoid a tie, Rob won the final immunity challenge and took Amber into the final two. It was recognized by the jury that the finalists played as a pair, however Rob's strategic gameplay was deemed more outwardly vicious than Amber's quieter and more social game. The jury decided that Rob had been too aggressive in his handling of the jury, choosing Amber as the winner in a vote of 4-3.

They were only given water canteens to start, and received no information and no fire. The three tribes received maps to their respective camps. When Chapera made it to their camp, they found a well with contaminated water. The tribe decided to focus on building their shelter. Over at Mogo Mogo, the tribe members were scrambling to create alliances. Eventually, they agreed that no one trusted each other, and that they would focus on their camp before alliances. Chapera and Saboga desperately needed fire. At Chapera, Alicia and Boston Rob were fighting over whether to focus on fire or shelter. After the fight, Boston Rob formed an alliance with Amber, while Rudy and Rupert formed an alliance at Saboga.

  • Immunity Challenge: The contestants would start on floating platforms, and they must dive down to retrieve a raft on the ocean floor. Then they must transport the raft to the beach, and pass and light torches along the way. First two tribes to light their torches and bring the raft to the beach win immunity. This challenge was based on the very first challenge of the first season.
At the immunity challenge, Richard decided to be competely naked. Chapera took an early lead. Saboga fell behind when Rupert dove to release a raft that was already free. Although Saboga managed to catch up, Chapera and Mogo Mogo won immunity. When Saboga returned to camp, Jenna L. tried to convince Rudy and Rupert to vote out either Ethan or Tina because they have already won in the past. Ethan tried to convince them that it would be a good strategic move to keep a winner around to guarantee a Final 2 victory. With Ethan and Tina voting for Jenna L., and Jenna L. and Jerri voting for Tina, Rudy and Rupert would be the swing votes. In the end, Rudy and Rupert voted for Tina, sending her home. In addition, since Saboga was unable to start a fire at camp, their torches remained at the Tribal Council until they were able to do so. | LineColor = 1356A9 }} Panicked, Desperate, Thirsty as Hell | Aux1 = Recap | Aux2 = 8.9/22 | OriginalAirDate = February 5, 2004 | Viewers = 23.07 | ShortSummary = As it rained heavily over Saboga, the tribe began losing morale.

The three tribes were shocked to find a box secured with three locks at each of their camps.

  • Reward Challenge: The tribes must swim out to retrieve five logs from the ocean. After one log is retrieved, the tribes would lose one member so the final log is carried by only one tribemate. The tribes must then use the logs to build a staircase.

Should the winning tribe choose the second option, all three tribes would receive flint and a pot. Based on a challenge from Africa.
At the reward challenge, Chapera took an early lead while Saboga fell behind as Rudy struggled with the swimming. However, Saboga pulled ahead as they assembled their staircase and won reward. After the challenge, Jeff explained that the boxes at their camps contained rice. After giving Saboga the choice between the two rewards, they chose to take the clue, giving all three tribes flint and a pot.

At the reward challenge, Chapera elected Boston Rob as their leader as he had experience with construction. Meanwhile, at Saboga, Rupert took the leadership role and came up with the idea of a log cabin. However, things got tense as Jerri disagreed with his design. Mogo Mogo decided to build a treehouse. Colby and Lex worked on Mogo Mogo's home, while Jenna M. and Shii Ann suggested creative touches. However, Colby and Lex weren't interested in the women's ideas, causing a rift between the men and women of Mogo Mogo. The next day, Jeff showed up at each camp with a licensed contractor to judge the homes. The judge inspected all three homes, and decided that Chapera's home was the winner. Chapera received their reward airdropped. After a rainstorm, Jenna M. announced that it was time to go home so she could be with her dying mother. When the tribes arrived at what was supposed to be the immunity challenge, Jenna M. announced that it was bad judgment to become an All-Star, and that she was needed at home.

Colby and Ethan approached Lex about this plan, and Lex agreed, wanting to take out Richard before a merge. The guys then approached Jerri about the plan to eliminate Richard. Colby tried to make sure Richard had no idea that he was in trouble by assuring him that Ethan would be voted out and that the original Mogo Mogos would stick together. Lex then approached Kathy and Shii Ann about taking Richard out and although they agreed, they felt it was a mistake and that Colby was becoming too powerful. Jerri tried to target Colby in order to get revenge on him. She told Richard about the plan to eliminate him and proposed that he and the girls team up to take out Colby. Richard agreed and felt confident that the plan to get him out would fail. Kathy soon found herself as a swing vote for she could either side with the guys and eliminate Richard and not ruffle any feathers or go with the girls and try to make a bold game move by sending Colby home.

The castaways chose the name "Chaboga Mogo" for the merged tribe by combining the names of the three original tribes. Lex approached Boston Rob about his deal. Boston Rob promised to keep him safe, however later revealed that he never had any intention of keeping his deal with Lex and that it was all a game so that Amber could stay. Boston Rob then approached Amber to tell her that Lex was going next. Amber was hesitant, as she had promised Lex and Kathy that Boston Rob and her would be the final four. Amber didn't want to break her word just yet and tried to convince Rob that they should play it safe by eliminating Jenna or Rupert but Boston Rob felt that Lex was too big a threat to keep around.

  • Immunity Challenge: The men and the women competed separately for immunity. The first round is a competition to determine who can hold their breath underwater the longest. Two men and two women would move on the final round, where they must swim underwater to release ten buoys. The first man and the first woman to release ten buoys win immunity. This challenge was based on the first individual immunity challenge of Borneo.
At the immunity challenge, Amber and Kathy moved on to the final round, along with Lex and Boston Rob. Amber struggled to unhook the seventh buoy, allowing Kathy to pull ahead and win immunity. Lex had a lead, however he struggled to unhook the final buoy, allowing Boston Rob make a comeback and win immunity. When Chaboga Mogo returned to camp, Kathy and Lex were skeptical about Boston Rob's deal. Lex felt that he had a made a potential game-ending blunder by sending Jerri home instead of Amber. Lex's worst fears were realized as Boston Rob bluntly told Lex that the original Chaperas would be sticking together and that he was their target at tribal council. Kathy was also upset at Boston Rob for going back on his word. Extremely angry, Lex yelled at Boston Rob that he had compromised his numbers at the merge by honoring his word with Boston Rob. Boston Rob realized that had Jerri stayed and Amber gone, Big Tom may have possibly switched sides. Kathy felt that Lex didn't deserve to go and considered giving her immunity to Lex and sacrificing herself so that Lex would have another chance to take Boston Rob out. Kathy kept the necklace and Lex was voted out. | LineColor = 1356A9 }} A Thoughtful Gesture or a Deceptive Plan | Aux1 = Recap | Aux2 = 7.5/21 | OriginalAirDate = April 15, 2004 | Viewers = 20.78 | ShortSummary = As Chaboga Mogo returned from Tribal Council, heavy rainfall had reduced their fire significantly.

  • Reward/Immunity Challenge: The castaways would compete in two teams of four to navigate through an obstacle course. The must fight through twigs, navigate a series of balance beams, and participate in a belly crawl. Then they must climb a 10-foot wall, build a bridge and cross it, use a rope ladder to climb to a tower and cross a rope bridge. One team member must wait while the rest descend a ladder and dig out a buried flag. Once the flag is dug up, the one left waiting must zip down a line to grab a key.

Boston Rob quickly solved the puzzle to slide his knife out, and chopped the rope to raise his flag, winning immunity. Boston Rob chose to forgo seeing his video so everybody could receive letters from home. After everyone finished reading their letters from home, Kathy attempted to break the Chapera alliance by telling Rupert and Tom that Amber, Jenna L., and Boston Rob wouldn't allow anyone else to reach the final three. In the end, Kathy's efforts to break the Chapera alliance failed, and she was voted out, becoming the second member of the jury. | LineColor = 1356A9 }} Stupid People, Stupid, Stupid People | Aux1 = Recap | Aux2 = 7.6/22 | OriginalAirDate = April 22, 2004 | Viewers = 20.99 | ShortSummary = As the castaways returned from Tribal Council, Shii Ann, the last ex-Mogo Mogo left in the game knew she was on the chopping block.

Then they must vote on what they think the most common answer would be. Each castaway who answers a question correctly would be allowed to cut a section of rope connected to the swinging log of the castaway they wanted eliminated. Three cuts of the rope would send the logs smashing into the mask. Last person left with their mask intact wins reward. All the castaways would go to a restaurant, with the winner choosing what each castaway would eat at the restaurant.
At the reward challenge, Boston Rob was found to be the most trustworthy, and Shii Ann and Tom each took a hit. The castaways thought that Alicia and Shii Ann were the least deserving of being an All-Star, and Tom was out of the challenge. After Alicia, Jenna L., and Shii Ann were eliminated, the castaways found out that Alicia was voted "most likely to be under the false assumption that she was smart", upsetting Alicia. When Rob M. was eliminated, it came down to Amber and Rupert. Both answered a question correctly, however Rupert was already ahead and won reward. After returning to camp, Alicia was upset at what she found out at the challenge. As the castaways arrived at the restaurant, Rupert chose a steak for himself, a cheeseburger for Rob M., a hot dog for Jenna L., a sandwich for Amber, a salad for Alicia, and potatoes for Tom, leaving Shii Ann with cold rice. After returning from the restaurant, Shii Ann attempted to form an alliance with Alicia and failed.
