Trivia

Other

• The title of this episode is said by Dean Kowalski when he was showing off all the advantages he had obtained, in addition to the Immunity Necklace he won at the final five Reward/Immunity Challenge.
• The final five Reward/Immunity Challenge, Born to Rung, is named after the Bruce Springsteen song "Born to Run".
• This marks the first time since "Gouge My Eyes Out" where a Hidden Immunity Idol expired unused because its holder was immune at the last time it could be played.
• With Dean Kowalski and Tommy Sheehan reaching the Final Three, this marks the first time in the entire game that the men outnumber the women in the game.
