A notable 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.
Probst later revealed that Paschal's elimination was messed up. Normally, in the tiebreaker the two people who were tied on the voting would then become safe, while the others would draw rocks to determine an elimination. This works every time except when there are four people remaining, as one of the two who would draw rocks has immunity, and can't be eliminated. When the same situation arose in Survivor: Palau, the two contestants tied in the voting competed in a challenge to determine an elimination.
Two of the contestants, Kathy Vavrick-O' Brien and "Boston Rob" Mariano were selected as contestants on Survivor All Stars. Kathy finished in eighth place, and Mariano was the runner-up, losing to his fiancee Amber Brkich.
