1. How many returning castaways appeared in this season?

From Quiz Survivor: Samoa

Answer: None

On the first day of the competition, the twenty competitors paddled their way to the shores of Samoa where they were immediately split into two teams (pre-decided, before the game began). Jeff told them that they were all ready to go, but before they could head out they needed to choose one person from each tribe to be the leader simply based on body language and first impression. This person would make important decisions for the tribe as they went along. The Galu tribe (wearing purple) chose Russell S. and the Foa Foa tribe (wearing yellow) chose Mick.

Answer: Liz

The challenge involved the tribe chiefs, Mick and Russell S., picking the challenge's players based on first impressions. Jaison and Marisa competed in in the swimming and balance segments of this challenge respectively. Liz, as the smartest had to complete a puzzle. Foa Foa won the challenge.

Answer: Mike

During the tribes' second challenge, a joint Reward/Immunity outing, teams needed to compete against one another in a dangerous game involving balls, baskets, and physical exertion. During this task, Mike was hit so many times that Jeff called for the medical team as soon as it ended. They decided to pull him from the game immediately due to the injuries he sustained; this was the earliest anyone had been pulled from "Survivor" to date. Despite this early ousting, someone was eliminated from the game at the next Tribal Council ceremony on Day 6. This was also the first challenge in which someone was pulled for rough play; Ben tripped Russell S.

Answer: Shambo

Shambo and Erik both voted for Jaison. The other members of Galu as well as all the members of Foa Foa voted for Erik, who was eliminated by a vote of 10 - 2. This tribal council marked the beginning of Galu's implosion.

Answer: Galu

In ten challenges before the merge (two of which were combined Reward and Immunity Challenges), Galu won a total of eight. This included all but one Immunity Challenge. As a result, Galu won all of the rewards except the initial flint earned by Foa Foa during the opening challenge of the game. This season, like "Palau" and "Gabon", demonstrated that strong, well-managed tribes get ahead. Galu's streak was one of the most notable in the history of the game. Unfortunately, this translated to a mass elimination streak after the merge.

Answer: Monica

In the Observer twist, the tribe that won a reward or immunity challenge would select a member of their tribe to scout the opposing tribe and receive a clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol. All four times the Observer went from Galu to Foa Foa. Yasmin was sent the first time. Shambo was sent the second and third time. Laura was sent the fourth time.

Answer: Russell S.

During a challenge on Day 15, Russell S., the 'leader' of Galu, ended up collapsing midway through the competition. The challenge was immediately ended and the medical team ended up coming in to make the judgment call. When Russell blacked out twice during his examination, he was told that he would not be able to continue; he became the second Galu casualty in the game (after Yasmin was voted out). No other Galu members would be taken out before the merge. Considering the events of Day 15, no team went to Tribal Council that evening. Shambo was nominated the new leader of Galu in his place.

Answer: Nothing

Dave chose to keep all $500 at the auction. Monica bought the roasted chicken and John bought both the apple pie and the clue to the hidden Immunity Idol.

Answer: Aiga

Twelve people united on Day 19 on an empty beach to receive their new blue buffs and a tribe flag. They were told that they would be merging on Galu's beach for the latter half of the game. This was the first time in which twelve people were on the merged tribe (there had yet to be that many people on a tribe in "Survivor's" history). The group settled on the name Aiga, a word recalled to mean 'distant relations' or 'extended family'. Foa Foa merged with only four members to Galu's eight.

Answer: Keep Hope Alive

At this tribal council, Russell H. successfully played his idol and cancelled the seven votes cast against him. As a result, Kelly was eliminated.

Answer: Pizza

The reward would have been for the winning tribe to eat at that night's double tribal council. Due to Russell's collapse and medical emergency, the challenge was not finished and the vote the cancelled.

From Quiz Survivor: Samoa

Answer: One

In sixteen total voting ceremonies during this season (including the final Tribal Council for the winner), only one vote was a tie on Day 27. During this important 'turning point' vote, five voted for Laura and five voted for Natalie in an attempt to prevent the original Foa Foa four from advancing with the numbers. A re-vote resulted in a five-to-three elimination in which Laura made her exit from the game as the third jury member. Had a second tie occurred at this Tribal Council, the purple rock tiebreaker would've occurred.

Answer: Natalie

Jaison won the fourth and fifth individual immunities. John won the first individual immunity jointly with Laura, and Mick won the third. Brett won the most immunities with three.

From Quiz Survivor: Samoa

Answer: Natalie

During the final Tribal Council, nine former castaways from Aiga needed to vote for Natalie, Russell, or Mick to win the million dollars. While two votes went to Russell from Shambo and John, the other seven went to Natalie because she managed to befriend the opposing tribe and avoid elimination long enough to strategize her way through the social game. She became the nineteenth winner of "Survivor". After the season aired, fans of the show voted Russell H. as the 'Player of the Season' and he also won $100,000.

From Quiz Survivor: Samoa

Answer: Shambo and John

Erik, Kelly, Laura, Dave, Monica, Jaison and Brett all voted for Natalie to win. Mick received no votes to win. Natalie won "Survivor: Samoa" by a vote of 7 - 2 -0 in what has been called the worst jury decision in Survivor history.
