One of the most popular castaways at the time, he is the first person to be eliminated by the Purple Rock tiebreaker. This unfortunate ending was not matched for 23 seasons, until Katie Collins suffered the same fate in Blood vs. Water.

Trivia

Had current rules involving drawing rocks applied to this season, Paschal would have been eliminated anyway, seeing as how the player with Individual Immunity (Vecepia) and the two players in a deadlock tie (Kathy and Neleh) would be safe from the draw, meaning Paschal would've been automatically eliminated by default.
Paschal was the oldest contestant on Survivor: Marquesas.
Paschal had the first confessional of Survivor: Marquesas.
Paschal's luxury item was the American Flag.
Paschal's elimination via the Purple Rock affected the subsequent seasons of Survivor. Due to contestants not wanting to force a tied vote, there would not be another tie until The Best and Worst Reward Ever in Survivor: Palau, six seasons later.
Paschal, along with Jonathan Libby, Wanda Shirk, Sugar Kiper and Rupert Boneham, is one of five castaways (excluding evacuees and quitters) to never have a vote cast for or against them over the course of a season.
- Paschal is the only one of those to be eliminated at Tribal Council and get their torch snuffed (Jonathan and Wanda were eliminated by schoolyard pick in Palau, Sugar made the Final Three, but received no votes in Gabon and Rupert took his wife's place at Redemption Island and subsequently lost the Duel in Blood vs. Water).
Paschal is the only jury member to miss a Tribal Council. He couldn't attend the Day 38 Tribal Council because he was hospitalized.
He shares the same birthday as Jonathan Penner and Ciera Eastin.
Paschal is the second person to be eliminated despite never receiving a vote against him, after Michael Skupin from Survivor: The Australian Outback.
Paschal and Neleh Dennis voted for the same person at every Tribal Council they attended.
