Survivor: Season 10 (2005)

Synopsis of Survivor: Season 10

Set in Palau, a cluster of independently governed islands near Micronesia, the tenth season of Survivor is described at the outset by series host Jeff Probst as "a season of firsts." And indeed it is. For the first time, 20 contestants -- two more players than ever before -- are whisked off to the exotic locale that will serve as the series' backdrop for 39 days. For the first time, three people are voted off the island in the initial episode -- and one of these is the first African-American contestant to be eliminated after only three days. For the first time, no new tribe is formed when the remaining members of the original tribes are merged. And those are but a few of this year's "firsts." One of the season's "stars" turns out to be Coby Archa, an extremely vocal gentleman whose constant complaints and bursts of anger (described by TV Guide as "high school frustration") place him on the same lofty level as the "whiner supreme" from season one, the unforgettable Susan Hawk. That Coby doesn't make it to the final four is no surprise, though those who do make it are surprising in their own right. After the final episode of Survivor: Palau, the memorabilia from the season is auctioned off, with proceeds benefiting the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS foundation. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
