This had everyone's favorite Survivor, Rupert and his delight at "Pirating" the other tribes boat during the first episode. We all fell in love with his bravery, honesty and humbleness. And on the exact opposite spectrum there was Johnny Fairplay, who I hate so much until the "My Grandma Died" episode. My hate boiled over and I started laughing and cheering for him after that. He was playing the bad guy ON PURPOSE!
Like being in on a secret joke this whole time, I couldn't help but love him after that. Definitely up there (and even above) Richard Hatch in the Villain department.
Pearl Islands was the first time a tribe was made up of folks who had been voted off the island. Team Outcast, came in for an Immunity challenge and it they won would get to vote one of themselves back in the game. I hated the concept and supposedly so did Jeff Probst. He asked Mark Burnett if they could never do that again. Because once someone was voted out of the game, it should stay that way. Mark agreed and we haven't seen an "Outcast" tribe since.
Fun Facts:
Danny Banaduce and Johnny Fairplay had a struggle on stage at an award show some years later where Fairplay jumped on his back and Danny flipped him over where Fairplay landed face first he busted his teeth and tried to sue but the case was thrown out of court. Turns out Fairplay was playing the "jerk" after all!
