Pagong was given matches very early for winning the first challenge. I think Tagi got to carry fire back via a torch after their first trible council.
Season 1 was all about the alliances. That pretty much laid the blue print. In fact two members of the Pagong tribe who wanted to maintain their purity of integrity refused to ally in voting ensuring that everyone from that tribe got picked off when the tribes merged.
And there was a betrayal. Kelly tried to betray the Tagi alliance several times but then successfully betrayed her hard and fast alliance with Susan. Richard was slick enough to betray his partner without actually overtly betraying him when he let go of the pole first. He knew he'd lose the vote to his alliance mate and also knew he couldn't betray his alliance or he'd lose. He knew Kelly would lose to his alliance mate too and that she knew it and would pick Richard to go to the finale. So he let go first. His alliance mate messed up and his confession afterward he said I just lost a million dollars. The earlier betrayal of Susan helped cost Kelly the win as she lost 4-3 with Susan's vote for Ricard one of the 4. This was the season of the Snake Eats the Rat Speech by Susan.
Pagong did eat some rats but they were also given chickens from winning a challenge. Tagi caught some fish.
Richard deserved to win. He wasn't the most likable guy but he played the game the best. I haven't watched much since to be honest.
Things I've learned from Survivor.
Don't flub up and cause your team to lose the first challenge. More often than not, you're gone unless someone else proves to be a jerk.
Make a hard and fast two person alliance early. Tell no one. Try to get a 4 person alliance as quick as you can. That can carry you far.
Never tell all the women in your tribe they are stupid as cows.
Getting naked in front of your tribe isn't a good idea, but obviously wasn't fatal.
Quoting bible versus gets you voted off.
Don't start ordering your team around on Day 1. It won't end well for you.
Be ready to eat some disgusting grub, some of which may in fact be grubs.
If the girls all come to you and get chummy and err um suggestive and then ask you to play your idol for one of them, play your idol. FOR YOURSELF!!!
If you have two immunity idols in your pocket, go ahead and play one.
When you're down to 3, keep the one you think everyone hates. Right Colby?
Don't chew out the jury at your final council if you want to win.
Don't throw a challenge to get rid of someone, then lose the next three challenges and merge short handed.
Above all, don't lord your immunity idol over other players, especially because it might just be fake. Walk up there and say, I'm hoping this is an immunity idol, and it's worth a shot.
Don't build your shelter by digging a hole in the beach.
Playing scorched earth may get you to the finale, but the object is to win.
At merge, don't save someone from the other alliance just because an idiot from your alliance asked you to.
Don't try to convince someone to play a piece of driftwood as an idol and then fail to play the real one you have when the time comes.
