I'm Not Afraid To Vote Her Off

This is the premiere of Survivor: Hawaii - Blood vs Water

Challenges
Reward Challenge: Man In The Box One person from each tribe will race through a wood cube, while untangling rope and searching for two rings. When they reach the first ring, they will use it to retrieve a platform and drag it back. They will then head back into the cube to untangle the rest of the rope and get the second ring. It will be used to retrieve a second platform. The first person to retrieve both platforms and get them across the finish line wins reward for their tribe. Reward: Flint and a bag of beans. Winner: Maui

Immunity Challenge: Getting Tanked One castaway would stand at the top of a tower and pour water down five gutters held by five castaways. The water would fill a barrel, which would release a net of puzzle pieces when full. The four remaining castaways would assemble the puzzle. The first tribe to assemble their puzzle would win. Winner:

Day 0
Across the island of Hawaii, ten returning players are with their loved one, excited to play what is sure to be one of the most difficult experiences of their lives.

Day 1
In the early hours of Day 1, the ten pairs meet Jeff in a large arena, with some speculating it is Redemption Island. Jeff welcomes everyone and begins the QnA. After getting the final answer from Laura, Jeff splits the tribes up with the returning players on one tribe and the new players on the other tribe. He then asks for a volunteer from the returning player tribe. Luke steps up and Jeff informs him he will participate in a reward challenge against his cousin, with the loser going to Exile Island. Jeff then tells the remaining players to take their seats in the viewing area.

Both Luke and Geoff get off to a solid start in the box, managing to fly through the box. Once Geoff feels like he have enough rope, he steps out of the cube while Luke stays in the cube a little longer. Geoff's rope isn't long enough to he rushes back in the cube while Luke comes out and manages to snag his first platform of rings and goes back in the cube. Geoff comes out of his cube when Luke goes back in and gets his rings and goes back. Luke gets caught up in his rope, giving Geoff enough time to catch up. Geoff is the first one out of his cube with his extra rope. Geoff struggles getting the rings, giving Luke enough time to fix his rope and start trying to get his final rings. Geoff snags his rings first, winning his tribe reward. Jeff then asks Geoff to send someone from his tribe with Luke to Exile. He chooses Connor at random. As Luke and Connor go to Exile, the two tribes go to their camps.

At Maui's camp, everyone goes through their introductions. They then begin to create their shelter. Ray and Megan go off on their own to collect materials for their shelter. Ray says he wants to get rid of Connor first because he doesn't like Liam and wants to make him mad. While Megan agrees Connor is a threat, she doesn't think he should go first.

While out collecting shelter material, Ray goes and aligns with Kathy, Hannah, Geoff, and Carl, all with the intention of getting Connor out. While Hannah and Kathy agree, Geoff and Carl are both concerned about Ray playing hard out of the gate. The two agree to stay with each other throughout the game and make decisions together.

At Exile, Luke and Connor see two urns with a note. The note says that one urn has an idol clue while the other doesn't. The urn Luke chooses has the clue and he reads it alone. Connor then takes this time to ask Luke to align with Liam. While Luke agrees, he has no intention of aligning with Liam.

At the Oahu beach, the tribe gets right to work with finding the well, making the shelter, and creating fire. Within the first hour, the tribe has clean water in their canteens.

While collecting material, Jamie and Laura agree to work together and get the three people from Panama and Luke with them. Just then, Cody joins them and is told the plan. He agrees and goes and gets Christine and Andrew on board. Meanwhile, Liam tries to align with everyone. However, he is shot down as everyone wants to focus on camp work and not strategy.

At Maui, night comes and they are barely finished their shelter. Kathy struggles due to her age and it is noticed by Chris and Taylor. The two talk with Danielle and the three agree she would need to go first as she is unable to help around camp.
