Day 1
The episode opens up with an eagle soaring over a mountain range before panning down to show a field of long golden grass rolling with the wind. As it sweeps across the landscape we're suddenly met with the roaring engine and large tires of a transport truck, loaded with supplies and people.Finally it pans up to show Jeff Probst slowly walking toward the back of the truck.

Jeff: We're here in one of the most beautiful regions of Argentina, The Pampas Mountains. From it's snow capped peaks, to the rolling gold valleys, it is truly a sight to behold. However this beautiful land holds a darker side. Deadly snakes waiting in the tall grasses, birds of prey and erratic weather ranging from over 100 degrees in the day to below freezing at night. It's here that these eighteen Americans will call home for the next 39 Days.

The camera cuts to a brown haired man wearing a blue tank top leaning over the side of the truck to catch the wind, his green jacket tucked beneath his hat to keep the sun off his neck.

"boi"

- Damn it's hot, I'm a freaking park ranger from Washington, I thought I knew what to expect from mountains, it sure wasn't this.

Jeff: They've already been divided into two tribes, Aquia in Orange, and Boi in Teal. While some seems right at home, Others are already feeling the pressure of the Environment.

"aquia"

- Hot or cold, it ain't really gon bother me much. I wake up at four in the morning and go to bed at ten pm. This ain't enough to get me down, I'm good.

The camera then shifts to a woman sitting to his immediate right, a brunette with a lip piercing who lays her head on her lap and silently coughs.

"aquia"

- I spend my days in a cold locker, I'm completely out of my element. It's so hard to breathe up here.

Jeff: They will have to work together to battle the elements and each other, for the million dollar prize.

"boi"

- I'm going to fight hard for this, I have to. My daughters talked me into this and I'm not about to let them down.

"boi"

- Little bit of everything is riding on me playing this game, I'm a long time fan, I love the show, want an adventure, but most of all I want to help my dad retire. Man's been working his whole life for my sorry ass, I need to do something for him.

Jeff: 39 Days, 18 people, only one Survivor!

Intro Sequence.

The episode returns to show Jeff standing on a mat as the 18 contestant line up on their respective mats.

Jeff: Welcome everyone, to Survivor: Pampas.

Everyone claps and cheers, once they are finished Jeff continues.

Jeff: None of you have spoken to each other yet, you've never met, so let's test how well you work with each other before you get the chance to. Behind you, on the truck you just arrived on are supplies that will help you during this game. Food, tools, supplies, it's all there. I will give you all five minutes to grab as much as you can and bring it back to your mat. Whatever you have on your mat at the end of the time limit is yours. Survivor's ready? Go!

Without warning, Jeff begins the opening challenge. The stunned contestants take several seconds before Uri and Justin sprint toward the truck, everyone else soon follows chaos breaks out as contestants shove and shout at each other around trying to get to certain items. Katie and Frank each grab a crate of fruit and set them down, but when Frank runs back, Katie begins coughing and sits down. Teresa, Greg and Penny start untying a tarp, while August and Uri carry food with Frank. The women of the Boi tribe also help grab food supplies, like extra bags of beans and rice. Vallerie and Danielle help each other carry a large drum of purified water, while Bridgette carries a few pineapples. Sara helps, but moves slower due to her heels.

"boi"

- I wasn't expecting a challenge two second into the game, I am not dressed for this. I tried to look my best and Jeff has me running around this dusty road withing rice.

Peter slowly help Bryant carry some oil lanterns, while Hunter, Justin and Mike grab tarps and wood planking and carry them to the mat, then Zach shouts out.

Zachary: Hey, you! Grab this!

He shoves a toolbox out of the Truck.

"boi"

- I'm in the middle of all this Chaos, shouting everywhere, people running every which way, when suddenly I hear Grab this! Somebodies shoving this big box in my face, and it's the Cowboy... From the other tribe! Like cool bro, thanks for the assist.

Bryant continues to run back a forth between Zach and the Boi mat, leaving peter to fight on his own. The older man is jostled around a lot, but mangaes to grab a pack of matches before stopping for breath.

Jeff: Fifteen seconds! get back to your mat!

Everyone begins running back, Bryant catching a large ax, tossed his way by Zachary and sprinting before he could see his mistake. Everyone gathers on their mats as Jeff ends the challenge.

Zachary: Where is everything?

Frank: What's up?

Zachary: I was handing you stuff, what happened?

Uri shakes his head, confused as Zach turns around. Seeing his mistake he lashes out.

Zachary: Were ya'll stealing from us?!

Mike and Justin both shake their heads.

Hunter: No.

Zachary: Bull S*** I grabbed all that stuff. and handed it to them.

Bryant: You were handing it to me bro!

Bryant laughs and so does Frank, Hunter, Danielle and Vallerie.

Uri: Who did you think was taking it?

Zachary: One of you!

Frank houls louder.

"aquia"

- I mean, yeah it's bad for us, but that's just funny. How do you not realie that?

Jeff: Okay, it looks like there is a clear difference in strategy. Aquia grabbed a lot of food, while Boi grabbed a lot of survival needs. We'll see how it plays out for both of you, but first, something for each of you. A map to camp...

He hands a map to Peter and Greg who walk up to him.

Jeff: It is a ten mile hike to your respective camps. It is 95 degrees right now, and only getting hotter. It's now your job to carry everything you grabbed back to your camp.

There are a lot of groans as he says this.

Jeff: The good news, or bad depending on who you are is that not all of you will be going on this hike. Instead one of you from each tribe, will be getting right back on this truck. It is time to vote.

Jeff reaches behind him into the truck and pulls out a stack of 18 envelopes and pens and starts handing them out. Several people gasp or moan in fear, while others look fairly excited.

"aquia"

- Hell yeah, I know I'm safe. Time to weed out the weak links right here.

Jeff: No talking, just write down a name, or description of the person you no longer want on your tribe.

Several minutes pass, before everyone is done.

Jeff: Alright, we'll start with Aquia. Tall muscular man, whats your name?

Frank: Frank!

Jeff: Who'd you vote for Frank?

Frank: I voted for, I don't know her name, the thin woman with the lip piercing.

Katie: My name's Katie.

Frank: Sorry Katie, I don't know you, but you seemed really winded there so.

Jeff: Who did you vote for Katie?

Katie: I said Cowboy for giving our supplies to the other Tribe.

Zachary: Name's Zachary, you can call me Zach, but Cowboy's fine too. I voted for Katie too, Bad work is better than no work.

The Aquia tribe continue to Vote. Greg also vote for Katie, while Uri, and Penny vote for Teresa. Teresa votes for Zach, while Greg votes for August.

Jeff: Alright August, last vote. Who did you vote for.

August: Sorry, I voted for Katie.

Jeff: Katie has been voted out of the Aquia Tribe. Drop your buff and take a spot next to me.

Katie does as she's told and pulls the orange buff off her wrist.

Jeff: How do you feel?

Katie: I mean, I get their reasoning, but I'm not sick and dying I just haven't gotten used to the air yet. I think soon they'll realize that bad work isn't better than no work though.

Jeff nods and turns to Boi, Mike is the first one to vote, revealing his vote for Peter.

Mike: He just couldn't keep up with the rest of us.

Peter: My vote was for the young woman in the gray dress. She just didn't seem prepared to play to me.

Sara: My name's Sara, and I am here to play. Don't give me crap for my dress just because you can't think of anything. My vote was for Grandpa.

"boi"

- I'm an Olympic level athlete "sir" I am not the weakest person here.

Peter shakes his head and sighs as Justin also reveals his vote for Peter. Then it's Bryant's turn.

Bryant: Well, I dropped the ball on helping Mr. Pete to get this other stuff, so I didn't think it was fair to vote for him. My vote was for Sara.

Vallerie: For falling behind when she was helping me, I also chose Sara.

Bridgette: Sara... Same reason.

Hunter reveals his vote for Bridgette.

Hunter: I voted for the blonde, but it doesn't matter I guess. She's just the smallest one, no other reason.

Danielle: My vote was also for Sara.

Jeff: That's five votes, Sara drop your buff and come take a spot next to me.

Sara pulls her buff over her head and throws it on the ground, clearly mad.

Jeff: How are you feeling?

Sara: I'm pissed, They're all fools. I'm an Olympic athlete, but they want to take an old man over me? Fine, I'll laugh as you lose. Send me home Jeff, I'm ready to go.

Katie blinks back tears, as the full realization of her situation hits her.

Jeff: You want to go home?

Sara: No but I don't have a choice.

Jeff: I never said anything about sending you home did I?

Several mouths from both tribes drop, Katie gasps and brings a hand to her mouth.

Sara: Are you serious?

Jeff: What I said was that you are no longer a part of you're original Tribe, and that you wouldn't be going on the ten mile hike. I never said anything about going home. Instead I said you would get back on this truck, but I never said where you were going.

Sara cheers as Jeff pulls out two new buffs for Aquia and Boi.

Jeff: Sara, you'll be taken to the Aquia Camp. Katie, You'll rejoin the game as a member of Boi.

"aquia"

- Yo! Jeff don't ever play with my heart like that again!

Katie: Thank you... Thank you, thank you, thank you. Jeff, oh my god.

Jeff: One last thing, we'd hate to break your heart and give nothing back.

He pulls out one more buff for each Tribe.

Jeff: Each of you will now have the power to choose one more person from your original tribe to go with you.

Sara smirks as she looks back to the Boi Tribe, none of them look like they want to go, while Aquia go into a huddle preparing for what happens next.

Jeff: Katie, since we started with Aquia, let's start with you now, who will be joining Boi with you.

She takes time to consider her options, nobody looks ready to go, but Uri motions for her to pick him.

Katie: You sure?

Uri: Nobody else wants to.

Katie: I'll pick Uri.

Jeff: Uri, drop your biff, you're now a member of Boi.

He does as he's told and walks over to stand with Katie.

Jeff: Sara?

"aquia"

- I'm not looking at my old tribe, and I know I don't want to pick someone who voted for me. Knowing how this game works, I'd rather pick someone who voted with me, since their's a chance of an immediate ally

She looks over Mike and Justin, considering her options.

"boi"

- I'm looking at this girl think "Not me, Not me, Not me." Like I'm chanting this over and over in my head, likes it's a magic spell that will make her obey.

Sara: Justin.

"aquia"

- Of course it didn't work.

Jeff: Alright, Justin, come get your new buff, you're now a member of Aquia.

After Justin takes his spot and puts on his orange buff, Jeff turns to address the tribes once more.

Jeff: Alright, Aquia, Boi, I got nothing else for you. You got a ten mile hike, grab your stuff and get going. Katie, Uri, Justin, and Sara. Grab your stuff and climb on board, this truck will take you to your new home.

The camera fades between Frank, Greg, Justin, Uri, Mike and Danielle as all three groups grab their belongings and go their separate ways. before fading to commercial.
