In a shocking twist, the first six castaways voted out in Survivor: Pearl Islands (Season 7) formed a new Outcast tribe and were given the opportunity to battle their way back into the game on Day 19. By defeating both the Drake and Morgan tribes in a competition, the Outcasts were able to vote two people back into the game: Burton Roberts (shown) and Lillian Morris.

History was made on Survivor: Palau (Season 10) when the Ulong tribe lost seven straight immunity challenges to the dominant Koror tribe. As a result, the Ulong tribe was all but entirely wiped out. Rather than form a new merged tribe, the lone surviving Ulong member, Stephanie LaGrossa, was absorbed into Koror.

As a punishment for being the first to drop out of an immunity challenge, Survivor: Palau's Janu Tornell was sent to a secluded beach alone for a night of exile. Though that was the only time Exile Island was used in Season 10, the twist would return for a full-season engagement in Survivor: Panama (Season 12).

The Redemption Island twist, where voted-off castaways are given the chance to battle their way back into the game, was first introduced in Season 22 (appropriately named Survivor: Redemption Island). Francesca Hogi (shown) was the first-ever castaway sent to Redemption Island. She also holds the dubious distinction of being the first castaway to lose a Redemption Island duel.
