Survivor: All-Stars
Template:Infobox Television Survivor Survivor: All-Stars was the eighth season of the United States reality show Survivor. It was taped in 2003 and debuted in the United States on CBS on February 1, 2004 after Super Bowl XXXVIII. It was set on the Pearl Islands of Panama, where the previous Survivor: Pearl Islands had just finished. The winner of this series was Amber Brkich, whose 4-3 victory over Rob "Boston Rob" Mariano was announced on live television on May 9, 2004. At the end of the series a twist called America's Tribal Council was broadcast live on May 13, 2004. It involved the public voting for who they wanted to win a second million dollar prize. When the show was broadcast Rupert Boneham won the million dollars.
This season was released on DVD on September 14, 2004.
Casting
Producer Mark Burnett has 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." There has also been speculation that Brian Heidik was asked to appear on the show, but he would only do so on the condition that he be paid a substantial sum for his appearance regardless of his standing in the game. 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."[1] 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 at Pearl Islands.[2]
Jenna Morasca, winner Survivor: The Amazon recently stated that her fellow tribemate Heidi Strobel had also turned down the offer to appear on the show.[3]
Season Summary
This season of the series featured the return of eighteen players from previous seasons, divided into three tribes: Chapera, Mogo Mogo, and Saboga. The three tribes each are named after various islands of the Pearl Islands. During the fifth episode Reward Challenge, the Saboga tribe was dissolved and its members divided between the other two tribes. In the ninth episode, the ten remaining contestants randomly chose new tribal memberships; improbably, every contestant but Brkich swapped tribes. One episode later, the two teams merged into a tribe called Chaboga Mogo, named by the Survivors for a combination of all three tribes (CHApera, SaBOGA, MOGO Mogo).
For the second and third times ever in Survivor, two contestants voluntarily quit the game for personal reasons rather than being voted off. Jenna Morasca left during episode three over mounting concern for her mother's health. Her mother ultimately succumbed to cancer eight days after Jenna M.'s resignation. Susan "Sue" Hawk left distraught in episode six, one day after an incident during an immunity challenge in which a naked Richard Hatch had brief but inappropriate bodily contact with her.
Before the reading of the final votes at the live reunion show, "Boston Rob" Mariano proposed to Brkich, in which she accepted. Also at the reunion, Shii Ann Huang was awarded a car by winner Amber Brkich, who had seen her as the "swing vote" on the jury. Also, Rupert Boneham was awarded a second million dollar prize for being the most popular All-Star, as decided by viewers who voted online or via telephone. He received 85% of the 38 million votes cast. The reunion show was also boasted as a high point when Survivor: The Australian Outback contestant Jerri Manthey attempted to insert herself into the whole controversial discussion between Lex van den Berghe and Rob "Boston Rob" Mariano. She was greeted twice with a resounding round of boo's from the 5,000-person audience, resulting in her storming out of the reunion show during a commercial break.[4]

- In the case of multiple tribes or castaways who win reward or immunity, they are listed in order of finish, or alphabetically where it was a team effort; where one castaway won and invited others, the invitees are in brackets.
Template:Fnb Saboga chose to give some taste of reward to the other two tribes. They gave a flint and pot to all the tribes.
Template:Fnb Since Jenna M. left the game, no immunity challenge and no tribal council were shown during the episode.
Template:Fnb Saboga, having lost the reward challenge, was dissolved with two members sent to each of the Chapera and Mogo Mogo tribes.
Template:Fnb Despite Sue's resignation from the game, a reward challenge was still held.
Template:Fnb The challenge was combined Reward and Immunity. Chapera was able to chose one Mogo Mogo member for their reward. They selected Kathy, who was not permitted to go to tribal council with her tribe.
Template:Fnb A tribe reshuffling took place instead of a reward challenge. Improbably, Michael was the only one who did not switch tribes, but had new tribemates.
Template:Fnb Black is used to indicate that the reward challenge is individual and not tribal. No merge color was given out at this point in the episode.
Template:Fnb Two were given immunity at the night's tribal council.
Template:Fnb Rob M. forewent seeing his video from home. He gave everybody their letters from home.
