Trivia
- This is the first season of the show where both tribes merged with an equal number of members.
- All of the African-American contestants this season made the merge and jury phase of the game.
- Teddy holds the distinction of being the first African-American to reach the final tribal council, as well as being the first African-American male to win the game (and first male overall).
- This is the first season to feature a male-female final two, and the first to feature an interracial final two.
- Although not specified to the players before the game, the cast holds the distinction of creating the strategy used throughout the game of Survivor. Initially the game was meant to entail the weakest or most annoying being voted out so that a tribe can stay strong, but the players of Borneo realised that they could use 'alliances' to reach the end of the game.
- This was the first season to feature a player "flipping" on their original tribe during the merged phase of the game.
- This series is the first to feature a woman holding the record for most individual immunity wins, and the first to feature a woman (or man) of colour to win the most individual immunity challenges.
- Sarah received the most votes throughout the season, with 12 votes cast against her in thirty-seven days (excluding revotes).
