<P> On March 7, 2000, the contestants were flown to Los Angeles, then to the city of Kota Kinabalu in Malaysian Borneo . From there, they were taken by boat to their island . Contestants were not allowed to speak to one another until they got on the boat headed towards their beaches . The two tribes shared the island of Tiga, which was divided by over 20 miles (32 km) of forest . The castaways were surrounded by wildlife such as pythons, kraits, adders, monkeys, monitor lizards, and white - bellied sea eagles . The show was set to air in the summer of 2000 . </P> <P> There were sixteen contestants overall, divided into two tribes, Pagong and Tagi .
