Season Summary
The series premiere began with sixteen people divided into two tribes, Pagong and Tagi. After 18 days of competition, the tribes found themselves alternating in visits to Tribal Council. Initially, voting targets were chosen when tribe members established themselves as weak links or unable to fit in. On Tagi, Richard formed a voting alliance with Rudy, Kelly, and Susan, taking the docile voting climate to a new level.

By Day 20, the ten remaining castaways were merged into one tribe, Rattana, and began competing as individuals. Richard's alliance took control of the tribe by ousting the de facto Pagong leader Gretchen in a chaotic plurality vote. This was the start of the "Pagonging", or systematic elimination of the remaining Pagong members, as well as Sean, the only Tagi member who was not a member of the alliance. As the group of four neared victory, Richard, Rudy, and Susan saw Kelly as trying to look more favorable in front of the jury, which seats were filled by mostly former Pagong members. However, Kelly dominated in the Immunity Challenges, denying the three of any chance to vote her out.

On Day 37, Richard and Susan received two votes each, forcing a revote. As Kelly and Rudy voted again, Kelly switched her vote from Richard to Susan, and Susan became the sixth member of the jury. At the Final Immunity Challenge on Day 38, Richard voluntarily stepped out of the challenge on the assumption that whoever was to win would take him to the Final Tribal Council. After Kelly won immunity yet again, Richard's assumptions were proven correct when she voted Rudy to be the seventh and final member of the jury.

At the Final Tribal Council, Kelly was accused of being two-faced and manipulative, while Richard was barbed for his perceived arrogance and duplicitous gameplay for establishing an alliance. Susan delivered her "snakes and rats" speech which shed light on Richard's superior gameplay. With four votes to three, Richard's strategy won him the very first Sole Survivor title.

Format
Tribe Composition: The sixteen castaways were divided into two tribes of eight.
Summit: On Day 19, both tribes were tasked with selecting an ambassador to attend a summit. The ambassadors would have to choose which camp the merged tribe would live at, along with giving it a name.
Merge: The merged tribe was composed of ten members.
Final Tribal Council Format: Two finalists faced a jury of seven. The jurors individually addressed the finalists.

Survivor: Borneo is the first season of Survivor. It was originally broadcast under the name Survivor, but its official title has been changed to Survivor: Borneo to distinguish it from its future seasons. Prior to the change to Survivor: Borneo, the season was retroactively known as Survivor: Pulau Tiga. The change of name became official in Survivor: All-Stars.
Richard Hatch became the very first Sole Survivor, defeating Kelly Wiglesworth in a 4-3 vote. To date, this season has produced six returning players (Gervase Peterson, Jenna Lewis, Kelly Wiglesworth, Richard Hatch, Rudy Boesch, Susan Hawk) for future seasons.

The show was released on DVD on May 11, 2004.

Production
Due to overwhelming interest in the show's format, more than 6,000 people applied for it. Eight hundred of them were interviewed in 16 cities. Forty-eight made it to the shortlist, which was whittled down to the final 16 players and 2 replacements.

Trivia
This is the first season in which both tribes alternated winning immunity before the merge. This would happen again in The Amazon and South Pacific.
This was the first season in which all the jury votes were revealed immediately after being cast at the Final Tribal Council, rather than months later in front of a live television studio audience. This process was brought back as a routine beginning in Survivor 41.
However, in Ghost Island, all of the original ten jury votes were revealed immediately after being cast but resulted in a tie. Laurel Johnson's tiebreaker jury vote was revealed months later, in front of a live television studio audience.
Borneo was the only season to air on Wednesdays until Nicaragua.
In 2006, Richard Hatch was found guilty of tax evasion connected with his $1,000,000 prize and sentenced to...
