Day 1
The camera opens with shots of the beautiful Costa Rican Coast, and then pans up to Jeff Probst, in a helicopter.

The Camera shows a boat speeding through the pacific ocean. Here we see 8 strangers, none of whom know each other. The camera then quickly shifts to focus on a different boat, with 8 different strangers. The Camera zooms in on a man with Brown hair, in a Brown shirt.

"chihnahui"

- Finally! I have been waiting so long to be out here! I love the wilderness and I love the ocean! As someone who rock climbs for a living and spends most of his time in nature, this is heaven for me. I believe very strongly I will be able to win this game. My physical strength and my ability to charm people and make friends that will get me to the end.

To the left of Luke, we see a young man in a brown hoodie with black hair.

"chihnahui"

- I am ready for this. I have been preparing for this a long time. I am going to be a strategic genius, and as an architect, I can hope my ability to create shelter can keep me in this game. I can hope to god my preparations pay off *laughs*

The 2 boats dock at a small, sand island. Where the 8 castaways get off and step on to the island. Jeff then welcomes the contestants to Survivor: Islands of Costa Rica, and divides them into tribes.

The new members of the Atzoatl and Chihnahui tribes get their buffs, and make their first impressions of each other. Probst then reveals that they will now compete in their first challenge.

"atzoatl"

- Wow, Challenges already, and we're not even 2 minutes in! We haven't even gotten to our camps yet, and we already have to compete.

At the first challenge, the two tribes each randomly pick 4 out of 8 bags, which contain essential survival items. Jeff then sends them out on a boat, to their separate islands.

The Atzoatl tribe arrives at their island, where their home for up to the next 39 days will be. The tribe opens their 4 bags from the reward challenge, revealing rope, 1 axe, 1 fishing pole, and a flint and steel, along with their bag of rice and cooking pots automatically given.

"atzoatl"

- I feel like we are in the middle ground on what we got in our bags, we could have gotten worse, but also better. We got an axe and a fishing pole which is nice, but I wish we also got fishing bait. That would be nice.

The tribe begins to start working hard immediately, Gavin and Evan take their map to the water hole, while the others work on collecting wood and other materials for their shelter. Brian very hastily takes on a leadership role, telling his tribemates what to do.

Brian: Ethan, Nate, you two look strong, take this axe and begin collecting wood, we're going to need it.

Roderick: I'm going to go fishing a bit, since we only have one bag of rice, and we need to conserve it.

Brian: Thats stupid, we don't even have bait, you'll waste your time fishing, how about you try tying the logs together for shelter, thats more important.

Roderick: We already have you and 4 others working on shelter, plus Gavin and Evan when they get back, we can have 1 person attempting to fish.

Brian: We won't make it one damn night without a shelter, we can last without fish especially when we have rice.

Roderick: If we don't find other food sources, the rice won't last us a week.

Brian: You can fish tommorow, but today we need you to be working on the shelter.

Roderick: Fine, once our shelter is complete, I'll fish tommorow.

"atzoatl"

- Brian's really getting on my nerves, he comes in here and thinks he can just control everything we're doing. He has 5 people working on the shelter getting leaves and logs, but he can't let one person try and get food? He is going to ruin the morale of our tribe if he sticks around, the only reason we won't vote him off is because he's good at challenges, but come merge. He's out first.

The camera then opens on the Chihnahui tribe camp, where the new tribe is discussing how they are going to set up their camp.

Nicholas: We need to divide up our work into equal parts, we need some cutting down wood, some assembling the shelter, and some finding the water hole.

Luke: I agree, we should divide it up 3 on the shelter, 3 getting wood, and 2 for the water hole.

Colin: Well first we should open our crates and see what we've got

The tribe opens their crates, they have gotten 1 fishing spear, 1 axe, fishing bait, and rope. Along with their cooking pots and rice which are a given.

"chihnahui"

- The first problem I notice as soon as we open that crate? No fire making equipment. I hope we can get some from the immunity challenge if we even win, luckily, we have this *pulls out fishing spear* and I can tell you already I'll be spending a lot of time fishing and providing for our group!

The camera pans to Colin and Cole taking their map to the water hole, discussing the game and their tribe members

Cole: I'm glad we have lots of alpha males and strong people on our tribe

Colin: Definitely, that makes us less of targets because those who call the shots are targeted the most, however, as we are not the alpha males, we could also be targeted very early.

Cole: Thats true, and I think it would be in our best interests if we stuck together, and attempted to stay unaligned, so the big guys can target each other.

"chihnahui"

- I come into this game on my initial tribe here, as a tiny 5 foot 6 guy with not much physical strength, surrounded by giants! We're going to see a power struggle here, between the alpha males, and the main 3 I see, are Stosh, Nicholas, and Luke. If there does end up being a battle, I want to stay neutral because if I pick the wrong side, I'm gone as soon as possible. So I'm thinking, me and Cole, and probably one other person who isn't too strong, must bind together, to keep each other in this game, and turn the big guys on each other, or we'll just go one by one.
