THE GENERAL GETS HIS WALKING PAPERS: ROBERT DECANIO OUT
May 9, 2002
After a tense Tribal Council, Robert DeCanio, the 38-year-old limo driver from Queens, New York, was voted out of the Soliantu tribe in a 5-1 vote. Robert, the last member of the old Rotu alliance, became the eleventh person voted out of Survivor: Marquesas. He now becomes the fourth member of the Jury, which will return every three days to observe Tribal Council, and which will eventually vote to determine who will be the Sole Survivor. After leaving Tribal Council, the General gave his final words, "I always say knowledge is power, and I will take this over to the Jury and judge the people who have judged me." ( Robert's Final Words

Home Sick
Despite the remarkable feat of remaining 31 days on the island, the castaways awoke from another miserable night's sleep longing for both energy and their loved ones back home. As her eyes swelled with tears, Kathy Vavrick-O'Brien, the 47-year-old real estate agent from Burlington, Vermont, described the tribe's mindset: "Just over the past two or three days, everybody has been talking about missing home and their loved ones. It's just uncanny to see what's happening with our mental stability." While fixing the tribe's hut, Sean Rector, the 30-year-old teacher from Harlem, New York, didn't realize how deprived his mind and body were, and nearly fell from a tree, having to be helped down by Robert DeCanio. Yearning for his family, Paschal English, the 57-year-old judge from Thomaston, Georgia, put life on the island into perspective: "It's really weird to miss home so much, and to have this family here, and we are going to go back home where we really want to be, and I know what's going to happen -- we are going to miss each other."
