Janu Makes a Survivor: Palau Sacrifice
Originally posted 04/22/2005 09:00AM
EXITED: There was a stunning tribal sacrifice on Thursday night's edition of CBS's Survivor: Palau, with 39-year-old Las Vegas showgirl Janu Tornell putting down her torch just before the vote – claiming she had already gotten all she could have out of the island experience. Another factor was that Janu sensed that her tribe was going to vote out Stephenie LaGrossa, 25-year-old pharmaceutical sales rep from Philadelphia – who also had been the last standing Ulong member before joining the Koror fold. Janu admitted that Stephenie deserved to stay on. After the surprise announcement, Janu explained, "No one will ever be able to take away this most unforgettable experience. No one."

Survivor: Palau's Coby Archa
Originally posted 04/20/2005 05:00PM
It was just for the sweet taste of a couple of donuts, but Texas hairstylist Coby Archa's decision to give up his immunity on the last Survivor: Palau wound up costing him a shot at the $1 million prize. In a 7-2 vote, he became the 10th Survivor to be kicked off the island this season, and the first member of the nine-person jury who will choose the show's big winner. Coby, 32, recently talked to PEOPLE about his sweet tooth, being "bitchy" and saying no to Hollywood.

So Long Ulong? Survivor Tribe Down to One
Originally posted 04/14/2005 08:35AM
REMAINED: After losing all eight immunity challenges, the once- 20-person-strong Ulong tribe of Survivor: Palau is down to one lone member, Stephenie LaGrossa, the first one-person tribe in the show's history. To be determined on Thursday night's episode of the highly rated CBS reality show: Whether LaGrossa, a 25-year-old pharmaceutical sales representative, will leap to the rival Koror tribe. Show producers aren't saying, while show host Jeff Probst, only commenting on LaGrossa's popularity, tells The New York Times: "She's relatable, she has a strong point of view and, most importantly, she will not quit."

LOST: After losing yet another immunity challenge on Thursday's Survivor Palau, Stephenie LaGrossa and Bobby Jon Drinkard (the two remaining members of Ulong) paddled to tribal council to compete to be the last Ulong standing. She won, which sent the 27-year-old waiter from Alabama packing. Assessing his opponent, Bobby Jon said: "She's honestly probably the top player in the game." Having suffered his final loss, Bobby Jon wished Stephenie good luck as he became the ninth castaway to leave.

Gender War Costs Kim on Survivor
Originally posted 03/11/2005 08:00AM
BOOTED: After losing their fourth Immunity Challenge in a row, the Ulong tribe of CBS's Survivor: Palau voted on Thursday's episode to lose Kimberly Mullen, 25, a grad student from Huber Heights, Ohio. "I guess tonight was my night to go. I hope the girls really stick up for themselves, because lord knows the guys have proven that they're nothing special on this tribe," Kim said when her torch was snuffed. To her credit, she seemed to see it coming, citing her own perceived lack of work ethic by the others in her tribe. Then there was her bad idea to launch a gender war between her fellow players. That, more than anything, was responsible for the unanimous vote to get rid of her.

Jeff Leaves Survivor's Ulong Tribe
Originally posted 03/04/2005 08:50AM
OUSTED: Ulong lost Jeff Wilson, the 21-year-old personal trainer from Ventura, Calif., on Thursday night’s episode of Survivor: Palau. Jeff asked to be removed from the contest once he injured his ankle, which he decided would not heal in time to help the game. Once eliminated, Jeff, still loyal to his tribe, declared: "Ulong, it's time to take Koror to the cleaners!" Oddly, it was Kim who thought she was going to get the boot by the tribal council. "I'm feeling vulnerable," she said. "I mean, there's no telling of what might happen. I definitely think there's a chance that Jeff's going to be here tomorrow." Wrong.

Three Players Ousted in Survivor Premiere
Originally posted 02/18/2005 09:00AM
CLASHED: The 20 contestants on CBS's Survivor: Palau were quickly whittled down to just 17 on Thursday night's premiere episode. The castaways had just become acquainted with their new surroundings when host Jeff Probst said the initial immunity challenge won by Jolanda Jones and Ian Rosenberger (who were the first of the 20 to swim ashore) would last only 10 minutes, until they finished picking their two tribes. The last woman and man chosen, Wanda Shirk and Jonathan Libby, were eliminated from the show. The game's first challenge then pitted the Koror and Ulong teams against each other for team immunity, leaving Ulong to vote off a player. That ended up being Jolanda, in a 6-3 decision. Her parting words: "I am the oldest and I think differently than my tribe. It's an experience I think everyone should try."
