sUrViVoR: PaLaU

he outwitted, outplayed, outlasted the 19 other survivors and finally emerged as the Sole Survivor of Palau... Tom Westman... the 41-year-old NYC firefighter from Sayville, New York, dominated the Challenges and proved a major force around camp to secure the Jury vote that named him Sole Survivor and winner of the $1 million prize. Shamelessly displaying his strength from the beginning, Tom neither hid who he was nor deceived any of his tribemates on his way to becoming Sole Survivor.

it doesn't get any better than this... this season of Survivor is definitely the most physical and the most dominated one... physical? because literally, most of the challenges requires physical stength and endurance has always been the key for winning the reward and immunity challenges... dominated? because its the first time in Survivor history that a tribe (Koror) won all the immunity challenge and a single survivor (Tom) winning 5 out of 7 individual immunity challenge...

this season will definitely go down to Survivor's history books... and here's why... first time Survivor have... (1)two survivors eliminated on the very first day of the game... (2)a tribe winning all the immunity challenge (Koror)... (3)a tribe composing of 1 member (Ulong with Steph)... (4)no merging of tribes... (5)the most number of ties and tie breaks in tribal council... (6)the longest immunity challenge (almost 12 hours)... (7)a tribal council held in an immunity challenge... and (8)the longest alliance maintained (ian, tom, katie, gregg and jen)
