Ten years ago, Survivor aired its twenty-eighth season, and changed the course of the CBS reality series as we know it. Survivor: Cagayan had eighteen dynamic characters stranded in the wilderness for the ultimate game of social strategy, divided into tribes that represented "brains," "brawn," and "beauty." And from its first episode–with the start of the Brains tribe's destruction–to its last–including one of the worst moves in Survivor history–it was non-stop entertainment.
