An unprecedented twist changed the landscape of SURVIVOR: PEARL ISLANDS. A new tribe, composed of the previously eliminated castaways, emerged to force both Morgan and Drake to go to Tribal Council separately on the same night and each vote out one tribe member.

DRAKE TRIBAL COUNCIL: SHAWN COHEN VOTED OUT

After losing a Challenge to the newly formed Outcast tribe, Drake was forced to paddle to Tribal Council. Due to what they considered his poor work ethic, the Drake tribe voted off Shawn Cohen, the 28-year-old advertising sales executive from New York, New York, in a four-to-one decision. Upon leaving this surprise Tribal Council, Shawn remarked, "I had hoped that today would have brought a merger. Things probably would have been a lot different, and I might have been able to go a lot further. I don't know. What can I say? Game, set and match."

MORGAN TRIBAL COUNCIL: OSTEN QUITS

There was no need to take an official vote at Morgan's Tribal Council, because Osten Taylor, the 27-year-old equity trade manager from Boston, Massachusetts, wanting to quit the game, persuaded his entire tribe to let him go. For the first time in the history of the game, a castaway chose "suicide" by Tribal Council. Completely exhausted, Osten didn't have the will to continue the game, thus choosing to become the fourth member of the Morgan Tribe to extinguish a torch. Osten justified his withdrawal: "My health is more important to me than a million dollars, I guess, right now. Does the means justify the ends? No, it doesn't."
