Paschal English

Paschal English (also known as Pappy) is a contestant from Survivor: Marquesas.

One of the most popular castaways at the time, he is the first person to be eliminated by the colored rock tiebreaker, despite never receiving a vote against him the entire game. His unfortunate fate, which went unmatched for 23 seasons, became a precedent to avoid a deadlock tie at all costs.

Paschal is the second person to be eliminated despite never receiving a vote against him, after Michael Skupin in The Australian Outback.
- Paschal is the first castaway to be eliminated at Tribal Council without quitting or having his name written down on parchment at any point in a season. He would be joined in this feat by Cirie Fields in Game Changers and Kara Kay in David vs. Goliath.
Paschal is the first person to be eliminated by rocks, followed by Katie Collins in Blood vs. Water and Jessica Lewis in Millennials vs. Gen X.
- He is currently the only man to be eliminated by rocks.
- Had the current rock drawing rules applied in his season, Paschal would have been eliminated by default, as the three other people on the tribe were either immune (Vecepia) or part of the deadlock (Kathy and Neleh).
Paschal's elimination significantly affected strategy in subsequent seasons of Survivor. Due to contestants not wanting to force a tie vote, there would not be another tie until "The Best and Worst Reward Ever" in Palau, six seasons later, and no tie created with the intent of drawing rocks until "The Day of Reckoning" in Samoa, fifteen seasons later.
Paschal is the only jury member to miss a Tribal Council attended by the rest of the jury. He was unable to attend the Day 38 Tribal Council because he was hospitalized.
