Promoted as "Survivor's going back to the beach," this installment of the series had originally been planned to be filmed on the Arabian Peninsula in the deserts of Jordan's Wadi Rum. However, less than two months before filming was to begin, as a result of the September 11 attacks and the political situation in the Middle East, this program was abandoned and production was moved to Nuku Hiva.[1]

Vecepia Towery-Robinson is an Americanoffice manager and reality TV personality, best known for winning Survivor: Marquesas, the fourth årstid of Survivor.
Early life and career[]
Towery was born in Portland, Oregon, where she attended Grant High School and Portland Community College before going on to receive her bachelor's degree in human services from Troy State University in Alabama.[1] She served six years in the U.S. Air Force, assigned to the 32nd Security Police Squadron.[2] She served in Soesterberg, Netherlands for several years and was later inducted into the Air Force's Europe Sports Hall of Fame[1] She was stationed in Turkey during Operation Desert Storm.[ • The Final 9 vote in Marquesas is a historic Survivor moment, and Vecepia’s part in it should not be understated. When the Rotu 4 show their hand in the infamous Coconut Chop challenge, Vecepia and her ally Sean Rector use the opportunity to convince Kathy Vavrick-O’Brien, Neleh Dennis, and Paschal English to flip on their original alliance. It’s the first time in Survivor that an overthrowing of power actually works, as John Carroll (and the Rotu 4) is blindsided in epic fashion. Vecepia’s social game is sometimes overlooked, but it’s her ability to connect with people that allows her to succeed in Marquesas. Her relationship with Hunter Ellis plays a big part in lulling him into a false sense of security before his blindside early on in the game. And while not emphasized in the show itself, it’s now common knowledge that Vecepia kept copious notes on her fellow tribemates
