Did you get to keep your tribal necklaces? Or do you have to give them back when you all leave the islands?

Id want to keep mine i think.
they look soo cool

heres one for the shipwreckers now you have been on the island, would you change your item you brought with you ?

I personally don't like the necklaces, I think they are kind of gawdy looking.  I'd have trouble wearing it all the time and was surprised last year when it was a "rule" to wear it at all times.

I'd be interested to know the shipwrecker's answer to nicOley's question.  I also wonder what kind of restrictions were in place for what they were allowed to bring.  Can they bring lighters?  What if it was a sentimental lighter that my grandfather gave me on his death bed and means a lot to me and just HAPPENS to produce flames too?   How about a great big 10kg bucket of peanut butter? They don't seem to stringent with their own rules of 'back to basics' anyway.  They seem to have matches now.

they all met up for t4 im sure they keep in touch but some live so far apart so i guess its hard

What i've always wondered, is when the new arrival arrives, they are filmed sitting in the boat, and then you'd get the shot of them coming ashore but theres no camera man standing up in the boat aswell, so do they shoot them coming ashore from the beach, then get on the boat with them and film them sitting on the boat when theyre saying who they are?
