A notable, and as yet unrepeated, moment in Survivor history was when the policy on a tie was revealed to have changed for this season. Previously, if a tie could not be broken after a revote, the person with the most past tribal council votes was voted out; if that still did not break the tie, the two people involved in the tie would face off in a sudden-death trivia contest, with the person who answered the least questions correctly losing, and being "voted off". In this season, a vote between the final four was tied between Neleh and Kathy, after some last-minute bartering with Vecepia (the immunity holder) by Kathy. After a consensus was unable to be reached, the three tribe members without immunity were asked to pull rocks out of a sack; two of them were regular-colored rocks, while one of them was purple. The person who pulled the purple rock was "voted out", which happened to be Paschal. This policy sparked controversy amongst fans, and while in the next season it was mentioned in passing, no vote has resulted in a permanent tie since this incident, so it is unknown where the tie policy stands now.

A notable, and as yet unrepeated, moment in Survivor history was when the policy on a tie was revealed to have changed for this season.
