The First Exile

 is the first episode of Survivor: Exile Island.

Trivia

 * This is the first (and thus far, only) time that the castaways were split into four tribes, defined by age and gender.
 * Despite Exile Island becoming a whole season long twist, Misty Giles became the second person to be banished to Exile Island, following Janu Tornell from Survivor: Palau.
 * The episode also marked the first challenge ever to be held on Exile Island.
 * Tina Scheer was supposed to compete in Survivor: Guatemala, but backed out at the last minute due to her son's then-recent death. Amy O'Hara was tapped to replace her.
 * This is the first time since Wipe Out! to feature the tribal Immunity Idol being split into multiple parts.
 * This is the first time that the tribal Immunity Idol was split into three parts. The first placing tribe would own the whole of the idol, while two detachable heads for the second and third placing tribes.
 * The theme of the Immunity Idol is See no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil. (represented by three makeshift shrunken heads with the first head blindfolded, the second having its lips sewn, and the third having needles coming out from its ears).
