Ulong is looking for another island.
To Ulong. Mid-challenge, after shouting "The flag is THAT WAY!" at a tribe going the wrong direction.
Trivia from Survivor 10
The longest challenge in US Survivor history, Palau’s final immunity, lasted about how long?
Nearly 12 hours — Tom Westman and Ian Rosenberger stood on buoys for nearly 12 hours until Ian stepped down. Tom then voted him out at that night’s Tribal.
The winner, runners-up, jury vote, dates, day count, cast size and location on this page come from Wikipedia's Survivor 10 article, cross-checked against the series overview table before publication.
