Death of an Alliance

Death of an Alliance is the penultimate episode of .
==Story==
===Day 34===
With Pagong no more, Richard Hatch continues to plot and scheme. He says that the game is in his control. He and Rudy Boesch agree that Kelly Wiglesworth should be the next to go.
Rudy says that his loyalty in the game is to Richard, and he won't break his word.
On the beach, Sue Hawk and Kelly get into an argument about Kelly's abandoning the Tagi Alliance. Sue accuses Kelly of pandering to the Pagong jury members, but Kelly retorts that she dropped out of the alliance because she thought it was a conniving way to play the game.
While fishing, Sue got stung by a stingray.
Aside from that, all is quiet around camp. The castaways reflect upon how much they miss their families.
===Day 35===
At the challenge, Jeff Probst promises a very unique reward: the winner will go to a bar with Jeff and watch the first five minutes of the first episode of Survivor. To win the challenge, they must roll around in a mud pit and transfer mud to a bucket using only their bodies. When the buckets are weighed, Kelly wins the reward.
One boat ride later, Kelly joins Jeff Probst for a visit to the "Survivor Bar", where they share a meal, beer, and conversation regarding the game. Jeff shows the footage of the very first Survivor episode, and Kelly enjoys seeing herself and her tribemates on television.
===Day 36===
When Kelly returns to camp, she quickly learns that Richard, Sue, and Rudy haven't included her in their Final Four plans. She realizes she's on her own.
At the Immunity Challenge, Jeff tells the group a story about Malaysian folklore. The castaways must then answer five questions about the story to retrieve five masks. It's a close contest—aside from Rudy, who answers "I don't know" to every question—but Kelly wins by a nose. The Tagi Alliance is annoyed that their voting plans have again gone up in smoke.
Before Tribal Council, Sean Kenniff speculates that the votes will be split in several different directions.
But in the end, the Tagi Four remain strong as the last alliance outsider Sean is booted in a unanimous 4-1 vote.

==Trivia==
===Behind the Scenes===
* According to both Mark Burnett's book (Survivor: The Ultimate Game) and Jeff Probst (on a special feature on the DVD for Borneo), the castaways initially had servings of beer as a reward. Angered by such an insignificant prize, the contestants threatened to quit the show, hence the producers' decision to bring the Reward Challenge winner, Kelly, to Base Camp and let her watch the first five minutes of the season.
===Other===
* This episode marked the first time a contestant was eliminated in a unanimous vote.
* This was the first time that the two tribes were split again. This time, the five remaining castaways were all from the Tagi tribe, while the yet-incomplete jury was entirely comprised of former Pagong members. This would happen again in .
* Oddly, Sean's torch went out even though there was no rain. Jeff Probst]] says to Sean when he formally uses a snuffer, "The jungle has spoken and the tribe has spoken". This is the second time that this has happened, following Stacey's elimination in .
* Sean's elimination marked the first time, after a record 18-day gap, that an original Tagi member was voted out since Dirk on Day 18 in .
