Former Survivor: Palau contestant Jennifer Lyon has announced that she has breast cancer, going public with her battle with the disease in a first person account published in People magazine.
Stating that she'd "already received what I needed" from the game, Janu Tornell quit Survivor Palau during Thursday night's CBS broadcast of the tenth episode of the tenth installment of the series, making her only the second person to ever voluntarily quit a non-All-Stars edition of the long-running reality competition show.
Opting to turn on one of their own instead of newcomer Stephenie LaGrossa, Survivor: Palau's Koror tribe voted Coby Archa out of the game during Thursday's CBS broadcast of the show's ninth episode, making Coby the twelfth castaway to exit the competition.
Losing an unprecedented tribal council individual immunity challenge that would determine whether he or fellow final remaining Ulong tribe member Stephenie LaGrossa would remain in the game, Bobby Jon Drinkard was eliminated from Survivor: Palau during last night's CBS broadcast of the show's eighth episode.
And then there were two. With their tribe's unprecedented losing streak showing no signs of ending, Survivor: Palau's Ulong tribe lost its sixth straight Immunity Challenge during last night's CBS broadcast of the show's seventh episode, resulting in Ulong castaways Stephenie LaGrossa and Bobby Jon Drinkard deciding to vote Ibrehem Rahman, the third remaining member of their tribe, out of the game.
Shaking up Survivor: Palau for the second time in its first twelve days, CBS's special Wednesday broadcast of Palau's fifth episode featured both the decimated Ulong and previously unstoppable Koror tribes being forced to attend Tribal Council and each vote out a tribe member, resulting in Ulong's Angie Jakusz and Koror's Willard Smith being eliminated from the game.
