RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDY!!!

FOR THE WHINERS:

Survivor: Borneo was the first season of the United States reality show Survivor. It was originally broadcast under the name Survivor but its official title has been changed to Survivor: Borneo to distinguish it from subsequent installments of the series. Before the change to Survivor: Borneo, the season was known universally as Survivor: Pulau Tiga, but it was changed again to its present title to avoid confusion with the tenth season, Survivor: Palau.[1] The show began filming on March 31, 2000 and ended on April 20, 2000. It aired later that year on CBS. It was set in the South China Sea on the remote Malaysian island of Pulau Tiga in the state of Sabah, about 6 miles (9.7 km) off the north coast of Borneo, Malaysia. The show was released on DVD on May 11, 2004.[1][2]

The sixteen contestants were initially separated into two tribes, named Tagi and Pagong, which represented the name of their beaches.[1] When ten players remained, the contestants merged into one tribe, named Rattana. While Tagi and Pagong's names and makeups were picked by the producers, Rattana was named by contestants Sean Kenniff and Jenna Lewis, because of the large amounts of Rattan wood on the island. After 39 days of competition, corporate trainer Richard Hatch was named the Sole Survivor, defeating whitewater rafting guide Kelly Wiglesworth in a 4-3 jury vote. In 2006, it was revealed that Hatch failed to declare his winnings, among other earnings, in his tax return and was sentenced to 51 months imprisonment.[3]

The Survivor: Borneo finale received the highest ratings of any Survivor episode to date.[4] Richard Hatch, Jenna Lewis, Rudy Boesch, Susan Hawk and Colleen Haskell were invited to participate again in the eighth season of Survivor, Survivor: All-Stars. Haskell was the only one to turn down the opportunity,[5] while Hatch, Lewis, Boesch and Hawk placed 14th, 3rd, 17th and 13th respectively.
