Survivor: Borneo

Survivor: Borneo is the first season of the CBS reality show Survivor.

Season Summary
The first season began with two tribes: Tagi and Pagong. From the get-go, it was clear Tagi was the stronger, more serious of the two tribes when they immediately began working, while Pagong simply focused on getting along. Pagong lost the first two immunity challenges, being forced to vote out Zoey and Frederick at tribal Council. In episode 3 however, Tagi finally lost and, in a quick move of fate, Adrian, Roy, Susan, and Angie aligned to form the first alliance ever. They blindsided the entire tribe at Tribal Council, taking out Jacquie, who was very likable and seemed to be safe until merge. Tagi went on a losing strea, voting our Laura and Trey (who had formed a counter-alliance along with Josh after realizing what was happening). They finally got a break in episode 6, where Pagong voted out Lou for even proposing an alliance to Raphaela and Adam, who immediately ratted him out.

In the following episode, the tribes merged into Rattana. Raphaela, who had exposed Lou's plans to Pagong, revealed that she did have an interest in alliances, but didn't want Lou there to hinder her own chances. While she went to align with the Tagi tribe, Josh attempted to align with Pagong, effectively turning the tribe against him and being voted off. Raphaela was left as a pivotal swing vote, where she decided to stay loyal to Tagi, and blindside pagong; Jessica, HC, Adam, and Collette were all eliminated in a row. At the final five, Raphaela won immunity, and was the swing vote between the men and women of Tagi (she eventually chose to eliminate Adrian). She won again at the final four, and flipped to Roy's side to cause a tie between Roy and Susan, which Roy easily won. When Roy won the final immunity challenge, Raphaela felt confident, only for Roy to blindside her as revenge for taking out Adrian, his closest ally. Roy then went on to best Angie in the final vote, 4-3, taking the votes of Jessica, HC, Adrian, and Raphaela while Angie claimed Adam, Collette, and Susan's.
