Day #1
Juliet Feldstein drummed her fingers against the side of the boat, peering out over the seemingly never-ending expanse of ocean. Even as the sixteen castaways flew by in their speedboat, the water took on a peaceful quality; she was grateful for the help in quelling her nerves.

Juliet glanced over at the fifteen strangers surrounding her. Having been told not to speak to one another, they had been left to simply stare at each other, size up the competition… or look away if that felt too uncomfortable. She, of course, had chosen the latter. Now, she was getting a first real look at her competition.

She saw a bulky-looking military man with what seemed like a permanent grimace on his face.

A punk-looking guy with earrings and glasses stood to her right, an excited grin on his face.

There was a girl who looked like she came out of a Vogue cover; golden platinum blonde hair, dark red lipstick and what must have been a very expensive matching dress.

On the other end of the boat stood a girl who looked the opposite; wearing nothing but jean shorts, a dark green sports bra and a baseball hat. Her long, jet-black hair reached down to her back. She had a pair of shades on, but even those didn’t hide the look in her eyes. It was the look that Juliet quickly realized all fifteen contestants had.

They had a fire in their eyes. These people were here to play.

Dammit, there go the nerves again. She sighed to herself. She hoped that these people were feeling the same way she was; just better at hiding it.

She was jolted out of her thoughts as someone shouted, “Hey, look!”

The islands of Polynesia loomed ahead, and Juliet’s worries, for the moment, were washed away, as a sense of anticipation pulsed through everybody on the boat.

This is it. This is Survivor. They’ve made it.

One of the sixteen of them would walk away with the Sole Survivor title.

And for that brief moment as the boat pulled up onto shore, every single one of them though -- no, knew -- that it would be them.

Game on.
