survivor mark cases the fourth season of survivor debuted on february 28th 2002. the season was
originally supposed to be shot in jordan but due to the 911 attacks and the obvious political
situation regarding the middle east production changed their plans and elected the film on
the marquesas islands and the french polynesia the tribes paddled to their new homes but sarah
clearly wasn't given that much effort in rowing we then got the first ever confessional from rob
mariano aka boston rob we showed the viewers at home he wasn't like the previous contestants we
had seen the first three seasons and he was here to play hard at road 2's camp kathy and miley got
on the nerves of her tribe mates and making her to clear outside her days into the game road 2
then not only found a waterfall next to their camp but they found tons of taros to eat at maraamu in
a weird scene to watch nowadays rob and sarah flirted with each other and snuggled at night
making their showmans very apparent to the rest of the tribe hunter also made his place in the
tribe very apparent taking on the leadership role at the first immunity challenge rotu dominated
the lighting torches challenge sending mararamu to the first tribal council of the season peter
made it clear to everyone that he was voting for patricia as he felt she was physically
the weakest peter's odd behavior sketched many people out while sarah's poor work ethic and
potential showmance with rob made her a target going into the tribal as well at tribal peter
votes for patricia shawn and viscepia vote for sarah but the rest of the tribe votes for peter
giving him the majority vote to become the first person voted out of my cases peter tried bespoke
road 2 continued to bond as a tribe except for kathy who was sleeping by herself at this point
the alpha male of road 2 and jon caught shrimp for the tribe thus making him stand out as the tribe's
leader at mara ramu sean rob and hunter hosted their own version of a morning show much to the
tribe's amusement vasepi and sean then bonded over their culture and love for god in general
at the reward challenge road 2 won their second straight challenge earning them fishing gear
becca mararamu the tribe was starting to get really annoyed as sarah voiced his pleasure about
the shelter which was silly considering she wasn't doing any work around camp while on the opposite
side of things patricia took on the mom roll and bossed everyone around when it came to camp life
which also rubbed some people the wrong way at the meaty challenge survivor kept in tradition with a
gross food eating competition at the tiebreaker malia got her food down while rob gagged it up
giving road to the third straight win and second straight immunity going into tribal the vote
was obviously between sarah and patricia while the leader hunter wanted sarah gone rob formed
a majority alliance with the showmance and sean and v blindsided patricia in a 4-3 vote
gina and hunter were surprised at the boat and despite surviving sarah got into an argument with
the two after their comments at tribal when they called her out for being lazy at road two million
pascal formed a tight bond as pascal said nalia reminded him of his daughter jonathan accidentally
landed on a sea urchin which led to the iconic moment of kathy peeing on his hand it just was
good timing that i had rapper this is gross but i don't care i don't care okay i have to put it
under there okay okay i don't know where my head is okay okay okay you had to go to the bathroom
i mean it was like do what it takes to make you feel good i don't care what you have to do
finally when i think i was pulling up my pants i suddenly got very embarrassed
but it made me feel good at least i performed in the call of duty at the reward ro2 won their
four straight challenge earning themselves comfort items leading to much frustration
from maramu the frustration bullet over at the muni challenge leading to a fifth straight loss
and third consecutive tribal council appearance despite being blindsided at the last vote hunter
and gina thought that sarah was the obvious target as they desperately needed to keep the tribe as
strong as possible however they let it slip that sean would be a future target due to his lack of
work ethic so with this information rob told sean about this and threw out the idea of blind-sided
hunter as he argued that tribe strings shouldn't matter at this point and they should work with
people who they trust the most and hunter clearly wasn't trustworthy so at tribal council and the
first true shocking pre-merged blind side hunter is taken out in a 4-2 vote with the alliance of
four once again boarding together to take out the alpha male of the tribe hunter travis spoke
it's time for me to go this was the first true iconic move from rob as he not only formed the
majority alliance to save an easy target like sarah but he was able to single-handedly take
out the alpha male the first time we ever saw a strong physical threat of the tribe go home this
early episode 4 begins with the final 13 players all standing on a piece of log and under the log
was a new buff which obviously signaled a tribe swap in an interesting decision the tribe's
numbers stayed at eight and five the new rotu tribe which was the tribe of eight consisted of
five original road two members and gabe tammy general zoe and john with rob vesepi and sean
in the minority as the original mar ramu on the new mara ramu gina and sarah were outnumbered
by the three row two consisting of malia pascal and kathy despite kathy possibly being in a swing
boat spot gina wanted nothing to do with sarah and immediately sided with the row 2 members
and the road rotus also noted that sarah wasn't exactly the hardest worker in the world at row
two rob was furious to no longer be in control and was even more furious to see his ally and v
sucked up to the majority roti members while you can understand rob's frustrations
this was extremely smart by v realizing her position in the game and really was
the first survivor player ever to side with the opposing majority in order to save their own game
shawn was also pissed off about his position in the tribe which led to him complaining and
moaning all day thus making him the number one target for the road twos at the immunity despite
the tries being different the road to dominance continued winning the first challenge as new teams
tribal council is pretty obvious as sarah was the weakest in the minority
and not even gina was even near tempted to save her as sarah was finally eliminated
sarah the child has spoken
we once again hear from rob that he can't stand beyond the bottom however he does feel confident
that sean will be the first to go if ro2 were to go to tribal so he knew he had time to try
and gracie himself into the majority gabriel then confessed he wasn't there to actually play
the game and he was just there for the experience which rubs jon the wrong way mara ramu would then
finally go on to win a challenge and their reward was the ability to raid rotu's camp and they took
as much as they could in the two minutes they were given jon then sees gabriel start to bond
with the three maramu outsiders and when he confronts gabriel about his voting strategy
gabriel miss to jon that he doesn't have one this completely sketches out jon and admits that he can
no longer trust gabe at the stress signal immunity challenge mar ramu's raid proves to be beneficial
as they use road to supplies to help them with their signal giving them their second straight
win amram was first immunity win as a tribe after the challenge jon was convinced he had
to get rid of gabe but he knew he would need the three-mile ramu on board to avoid a potential tie
however this completely backfires as rob tries to use his information against jon and turn gabriel
against him but once again gabriel doesn't give rob a straight answer so at tribal with no other
choice the muramu joined forces with jon and his alliance avoiding out gabe in a unanimous 7-1 vote
okay travis spoke
with gabriel gone john reinforces his alliance with the other original road two members and the
four agreed to stick together until the final four at the reward challenge mar ramu continues their
winning streak beating row two in a three-part relay race earning themselves plenty of food and
soda except this year the soda sponsor was ciara missed instead of mountain dew despite winning the
challenge though nali and pascal are shocked to see gabriel go and due to this they grow
even closer to gina at row 2 rob confronts zoe about being an alliance with the other road team
members which she denies but when he asks john the same question he admits that the road to four
r d working together this infuriates rob and he even calls john out for his sexuality due
to this terrible attitude and overall hard play rob becomes the new target over sean and the road
2 4 even talked about throwing a challenge to get rid of him however at the immunity
challenge the road 2 do give it their all securing immunity sending mararamu to the final premier's
tribal council mara ramu was devastated as the 4 had grown so close as a tribe but in the end
the three original road two had to stick together voting out the outsider in gina
gina the tribe has spoken
episode seven begins with the tribes receiving tremail with the treatment ordering one person
from each tribe to go to an unknown destination rob volunteers for row two while kathy is picked
for mara ramu when the two arrive they meet jeff who tells them that they will be ambassadors for
the upcoming merge and are responsible for painting the tri flag and naming the merged
tribe the two were then surprised by a pizza feast and during the feast rob lies that road 2.0 are
going to take out mauro ramo 2.0 leaving cathy feeling betrayed by our former roti members the
next morning rob and kathy tell pascal and elia to pack their things and head to rotu's beach as
the tribes were now merged after meets and greets with a feast rob and kathy immediately confronted
the road team members about who they were loyal to and while zou pleased to cathy that what rob
said wasn't true and that they were all loyal to kathy kathy doesn't buy it and once again feels
like the outcast that she was at the start of the game feeling completely vulnerable kathy clutches
up to win the first individual mutiny painting the target now squirrelly on rob's back and in
the end the first installment of rob mariano comes to an end before the jury as all the former road
to minus kathy vote for him with even vasepia jumping on board to eliminate rob in a 7-2-1 vote
rob tribe has spoken
episode 8 now one of the most important episodes in survivor history the episode starts out pretty
badly though as sean continues to make himself the next target and we then get a really lame flying
kite competition as reward really does make you think that producers were short on ideas
due to this last minute switch to the marquesas hence these weird challenges kathy then wins
her second straight individual challenge after winning and seeing the pekka order clear as day
kathy assures her allegiance to sean and vecephia the final two original maharamu standing in hopes
of taking out jon and desperately trying to get nellie and pascal on board but the two aren't
in on the plan as they feel alliances are always shifting and nothing is set in stone but at the
infamous coconuts and meaty challenge the pecking order is made very clear to everyone in the game
as the road 24 worked together in the challenge ultimately leading to a tammy victory the
frustration boils for sean and vespia as the road 24 aren't even hiding their arrogance and
dominance but thankfully nellie and pascal are now fully aware that they are numbers
5 and 6 in the pecking order and needed to flip the game around while they still could
so at tribal nelly and pascal team up with the outsiders of kathy shawn and visepia blindsiding
jon and completing the first majority overthrow in survivor history john tribe has spoken okay
it's time for me to go good night
i'm not going to go too in depth on the next three episodes as with the row 24 now the row
23 and in the minority they are picked off one by one for some reason zoe also
flipped to vote out john at the final nine but despite this she was the next to go after jon
and also became the first ever purple player in survivor after tammy won the first two of
three immunities she was taken out at seven with general robert being the last to go at
six it's the final five now and with the road two four officially gone the alliances are now clear
shawn and biseppia are a pair nellie and pascal repair thus making cappy of all people the
swing vote after weighing out our options she ultimately chooses to side with the people she
had been with all game and nalin and pascal sending shawn to the jury in a 3-2 vote and
uh you know i have to throw this in how has sean rector never come back to play again
need to bring me a torch
sean tribe's spoken
it's the final four finale and biseppi is obviously feeling very vulnerable now
and knows she has to win immunity to save herself and luckily for her the final four
movie challenge was just a challenge for her you see players were allowed to bring luxury
items at this point in the show and vasepia's item was a journal and she used this journal to
keep notes of all the players so when the final four beauty challenge was revealed to be a past
players question challenge busepia obviously had a leg up on the competition due to her taking notes
of all the players for the past 37 days and lo and behold she won a must win immunity
securing herself a spot in the final three so with fossepia now safe kathy is now the new
target for nellie and pascal however before the vote kathy brings up a good point to be
and that nellie and pascal were obviously taking each other to the end meaning she would have to
win immunity to get to the final two whereas if she saved kathy that would give her another
option as kathy promised to be loyal to her this made sense for v and sided with kathy making it
a two-two tie and so kathy and nelia battled it out in a final four fire making challenge reveal
i know you felt purple oh yeah this is season four and survivor for some reason
hadn't thought of a fair one-on-one battle to settle a tie so they instead decided to have
pasco join elia and kathy in a rock draw and lo and behold pascal drew the purple rock well
pascal is a judge after all i wonder how long he would sentence the producers to this robbery
pascalid has been a one of a kind tribal council but the tribe has spoken thanks a lot
thank you thank you so once again the tables have turned in this wild end game as for the
first time all game nalia is without pascal and knows she needs to win immunity and she does just
that winning the third installment of the hand on the idol final muni challenge however she
didn't outlast it too when kathy slipped v made an incredibly ruthless move offering to step down
if nelia promised to bring her to the final two to which nelia accepted i always say this move
sums up fossepi's game to a t as is arguably the most underrated move from a top five underrated
survivor winner at tribal not wanting to break the deal and knowing kathy was a jury threatened
general nalilya voted her out making kathy the final boot much to the dismay of the jury
kathy the tribe has spoken
all right jeff thank you see you guys so long nali and visepia had polar opposite rides to
the end but here they were in the final two and faced off against the jury of seven this jury
is actually pretty brutal to these women despite them playing pretty underrated games in my eyes
pascal and kathy were locked votes for nalia while sean was of course a lock for v leaving the road
to four as the swing boats malia gets zoe's boat but the rest of road two vote for fosepia
giving her the title of sole survivor and to this day remains one of the most underrated
and under-appreciated winners ever the winner of survivor marquesas
thank you
