Day 1
The camera has a quick shot over the island in Oman, after, it shows a helicopter flying by, as the helicopter is circling around the island, then the camera shows Jeff Probst in it.

Jeff Probst: We are now here in Oman, a nation on the Arabian Peninsua, Oman is best known of its terrain encompassing desert, riverbed oases etc. And here, is where 20 castaways will spend the next 39 days living.

The camera shows two boats going towards an island below.

Jeff Probst: However, this is not any season, 20 castaways who have played at the past will come back for another shot at playing this game. These castaways have been deduced into two major groups. A hero, or a villain, and that is how the tribes are formed, the blue tribe below is heroes and the red tribe below is villains.

The camera focuses on Nizwa, which is the heroes tribe as it cuts to Dean first.

"nizwa"

- I have played in Survivor Malaysian Islands, and I have won that season. Ever since, life has changed, using some of the money I gained, I helped my community center and help young children, also I have a life as I married Mika. (smiles) When I received the phoen call, I accepted it as I love this game and experience as a whole, and I want to experience it once again, Mika understands, and this time, I am going to do my best and win it again, for the both of us.

The camera shows Itsuki.

"nizwa"

- I can't believe I am coming back, on my last season, Eyre Peninsula, I got bashed at the jury for coattail riding, and I remembered that and it sucks and left a bad taste in my mouth. When I got the phone call, I accepted without a doubt, this time I am going to play harder, cause more blindsides. No more coattail riding this time, I will show everyone what Itsuki Takenawa is truly made of!

After, it had a quick shot at Sally.

"nizwa"

- Well, the fact that I am playing again probably will surprise everyone, as how worried I was last season, I kept thinking of my kids, when Caroline Islands aired, my son told me that I shouldn't get worried about them, and that I should play hard and put my whole heart in the game, and I guess they are right, as I still treat them as kids despite the oldest one is now 19, so I decided to have another shot at this experience.

The camera then shows Sohar, which is the villains tribe, but the villains tribe is all staring one another, the camera shows Audrey who is smiling.

"sohar"

- I am back! I am back! Finally! I was SO freaking ROBBED last time! I was going to my victory path when that stupid Hazel goes and ruin everything. Ever since, I was always waiting to come back, I KNOW they will bring me back, in fact, I just slept next to my phone night after night! And of course, I am back! I had been waiting for a second chance for LONG, so I better win this time!

After, the camera shows Brisa.

"sohar"

- Coming into this villains tribe, I don't really know what else to say, I mean, what the hell were the production thinking? Carlos, Audrey, Kris, Deanne..... these are all explosive people! Why on earth are they back? Jeez, these people are just going to stir the out of my tribe, why am I even on the villains tribe in the first place? Just because of that comment I made to Rudy and I deserve a place here? God.

The camera focuses on Carson.

"sohar"

- I was very excited to play again at first, until I saw Deanne, like seriously? I come to play Oman and she is STILL here? It's like a bad Oman! She has been a throughout her last season when we played together and she blindsided me out of that game! I seriously don't want to deal with her, the idea of her being around here is already enough for me to fall down a cliff! (places hand on his neck and moves it, like a knife sliced his neck)

The camera once again shows Jeff Probst in the helicopter.

Jeff Probst: This is it! 10 heroes coming back to fight against 10 villains! 39 days, 20 castaways, 1 survivor!

The camera moves away, after we can see both boats landing, as both tribe's castaways both spread out and have a good look who is on the other tribe.

"nizwa"

- I looked at the villains tribe, and I see Yolanda. (laughs) I can't say it is a surprise as well, that women is just insane! (laughing) I really feel bad for the villains tribe right now, she is just going to explode and cause their camp to death!

Bosco sees Andrea as he shakes his head.

"sohar"

- Ugh, why on earth am I on the villains tribe and Andrea is on the heroes tribe? She is the only one I liked for real through out last season of mine, and we went far, but now, she is on the other tribe, and I have to go against her? Ugh, just that.

Afterwards, the castaways start to walk in front of Jeff Probst.

Jeff Probst: Welcome to Survivor: Oman, heroes vs villains!

Both tribes cheer.

Jeff Probst: As you can see, we have invited 10 heroes and 10 villains at the past few seasons, in order to play this game once again.

The castaways cheer, as it cuts to Daphne.

"sohar"

- I am not happy that I am on the villains tribe, like why the hell am I stuck with people like Carlos, Yolanda, Audrey, Carson, Deanne...? I am nowhere near them, and I just got lumped in a group with them! Gosh, the only thing I hope is all those (uses finger quotes) villains won't make massive destruction.

Jeff Probst: Hold on there, Yolanda, looking at the people here, you are the only one that is playing for the third time, how does it feel?

Yolanda:(in a evil way) People might know me as the big bad bitch, but this big bad bitch is going to win this time!

Everyone glances at Yolanda in shock as it cuts to Carlos's confessional.

"sohar"

- (laughs) I really like Yolanda from her reaction, anyway, I liked her on her two seasons when she played, she is like my favorite player. This time around here, I will definitely rebuild my Carlos empire that failed by that Andrew, and she, will be sitting as my right-hand women.

Jeff Probst: Dean, you're the only winner out here, how does it feel?

Dean:(jokingly) Come on guys, I am just the same as you, playing a second time, keep me around ok.

The heroes tribe laugh.

"nizwa"

- Dean really just dug his own grave when he said that, as pretty much, he is the only winner and him trying to plead for his stay is just going to make him a bigger target. Anyway, I don't think I am going to target him this time right off the bat, I can just pull him in for a ride, and to use him to get to the end.

Jeff Probst: Tina, how does it feel being out here again?

Tina: Oh, it is awesome, last time I fell short, and I am glad I get a second shot at this game.

Jeff Probst: Peter, how do you think of the theme of villains vs heroes?

Peter: I don't really know why exactly I am a villain, but it is simple, we are just going to slay their asses down!

The villains tribe cheer, as the heroes tribe shake their head.

Jeff Probst: With that, lets head on to the first ever challenge.

The camera shows carious shock faces from the castaways.

Jeff Probst: Follow me.

The camera shows Jeff Probst leading the castaways to the challenge arena.

Jeff Probst: You guys ready for the first reward challenge?

Castaways: Yes!

Jeff Probst goes and explains the challenge.

Jeff Probst: The winning tribe, (takes flint out) wins flint, a early head start in the game.

The tribes cheer as Jeff Probst tells them to choose their pairs.
