Unforgettable Moments

- Robb grabbed Clay in the neck in a reward challenge.
- Helen's non-stop recipe stories.
- Jan's weird behavior with dead animals (she was known for making a "pet cemetery" in their camp)
- The pesky monkeys that constantly raiding their food supply (and their chicken feed as well)
- The most contreversial Survivor fight in their time, Ted vs. Ghandia (aka the "Grindgate" incident)
- First time that the castaways themselves divided their group into tribes. Following Thai tradition that give elders utmost respect, Jake and Jan, the oldest castaways, divided the 14 others into tribes.
- Fake merge. Since both tribes were instructed to live together in 1 beach, Shii ann of Sook Jai assumed that the merge had occured and made a voting bloc with Chuay Gahn. But when the immunity challenge came in, everbody was surprised (and to Shii ann's dismay), the tribes just lived together, but never merged as one (thus keeping the tribes separate). Sook Jai voted off the lowest rung of their core alliance Shii ann despite a hard fought plea against Penny.
- Pagonging (the sequel). Like in Borneo, the old Chuay Gahn systematically picked off every single member of Sook jai.
- Stephanie's audtion tape was revealed during the reunion show....just watch it anyway....i'll spoil the fun if i tell you that...
