TRIBES MERGE: SOLIANTU IS FORMED-ROB MARIANO VOTED OUT
April 11, 2002
On Day 21, after the two competing tribes merged into one, Rob Mariano, the 26-year-old construction worker from Canton, Massachusetts, was voted out of the newly formed Soliantu tribe. Rob, who ruffled tribal feathers with his confrontational approach to the game, became the seventh member voted out of Survivor: Marquesas. With his torch extinguished, Rob looked back at his time spent on the island, saying, "I'd like people to know that this was a game…I hope that no one comes away with any bad feelings." ( Rob's Final Words

An Archeological Find
While collecting food on the morning of Day 19, the Maraamu tribe stumbled across an ancient burial containing a human skull called a Paepae. Awed by the discovery, Paschal English, the 57-year-old judge from Thomaston, Georgia, exclaimed, "This is unbelievable! It's hard to believe how many centuries we are looking at right here." Explaining just what they had witnessed, Kathy Vavrick-O'Brien, the 47-year-old real estate agent from Burlington, Vermont, noted, "A paepae is a Marquesian monument where they use to have ceremonies and even perform cannibalism."

Frustration
As the Rotu tribe performed their morning tasks, Rob Mariano announced, "This tribe is a bunch of morons." Cooling off in the water, Rob and Sean Rector, the 30-year-old teacher from Harlem, New York, took the opportunity to strategize together: "We don't know if they are keeping their word. Just as a precaution they might get rid of one of us, just so we can't form a new alliance." ( John Carroll is upset )
