Survivor Pearl Islands, Balboa Buff

original movie prop

Here is the Balboa tribe Buff (Black) from the 7th season of Survivor - "Pearl Islands" which aired in late 2003. This season saw the game start unannounced to the players who only had the clothes they had on. The teams had to swim to the local island and buy what they needed for the duration of the game. As this season was a pirate themed, the winner of the reward challenge was allowed to steal something from the losing tribe. This season is best remembered by Rupert who loved his fishing, Johnny Fairplay lying about his dead grandmother and the Outcasts twist that saw 2 voted out contestants voted back into the game.

This tribe consisted of Andrew, Ryan O, Rupert, Tijuana, Christa, Burton, Darrah, Jonny Fairplay, Lillian and Sandra. This team wore a black buff and was named after Ruperts injured pet snake.
