	Survivor: The Australian Outback - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The elimination of contestant Michael Skupin during the sixth episode is noteworthy for being the first case where a Survivor contestant has had to be evacuated due to injuries.
		Michael Skupin, while attempting to start a fire, breathed in smoke and momentarily fainted, falling into the fire and suffering severe burns to his hands.
		Had Skupin's injury not occurred Kucha was heavily favored to win the next immunity challenge and Ogakor might have voted out their fourth castaway, however they were notified before the immunity challenge, only being told that there was an accident in the other tribe's camp and someone was evacuated.

		When Skupin showed up to say that his hands -- hands that were last seen on CBS with the skin hanging in shreds -- had healed on their own without leaving scar tissue, Robertson made if official.
		Skupin, trim and balding, was leading the Kuchas in triumph -- they had won both challenges in episode 4 -- when he was driven from the competition by the accident on the river bank.
		Skupin returned from the Outback with his hands in bandages but never told Peni and the kids how badly he had been burned on the banks of the Herbert River until after episode 6 aired.

	'Survivor' Michael hid burn injury (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Skupin, who had earlier killed a wild pig for his Kucha tribe, leading animal-rights groups to protest the show, says he fully expected to return to the game after being treated, and has since regained full use of his hands.
		But Skupin kept the story behind his bandaged hands from his three children and his wife, Peni, who "was sure that I won when I came home," honoring a confidentiality agreement.
		Skupin's removal ensured that the Kucha and Ogakor tribes would be evenly represented, with five contestants apiece, with a scheduled merger of the teams that takes place in the next episode.
