Day 1
"none"

- Twenty average Americans from different walks of life and different universities, are currently being driven into of the grandest locations on Earth, Jamaica. "arawak"

- My name is Henry. I'm an engineering student at Texas A&M. It has been a dream of mine to win the game of Survivor since I first started watching it as a young boy.

"taino"

- My name is Kendra. I'm currently a child specialist and a member of the swim team at the University of Vermont. A lot of people may underestimate me because of my looks. But I think I can definitely surprise a few doubters in this game. "none"

- Although the islands are pretty, they are far from what the castaways will experience. Together, they must work together in order to succeed as one tribe on this stranded island. But one by one, each person will be eliminated from the game until only one remains. 39 days, 20 people, 1 SURVIVOR!

Driving through the island terrain, two trucks carrying 20 Americans arrive at their designated location. The castaways have no idea what to expect. But the one thing they have in common is to compete for the title of Sole Survivor and the prize of $1,000,000 that comes along with it. They arrive in an open, lush field and one by one, each of them steps out off the truck and in front of them Jeff Probst stands with two bags in his hands.

"Jeff Probst: 'Welcome to Survivor: United Nations. You're here in Jamaica for one purpose. To become the sole survivor around here. This may be a beautiful island. But as we all know, Survivor is not a beautiful game. This season is different because we have each of you representing your universities. So you will be divided up into two tribes of ten. We will have an East Coast Tribe and a West Coast Tribe. With that being said. For the East Coast tribe, we have Wayne, Mavis, Dexter, Veronica, Ernie, Kendra, Nathan, Daphne, Tanner, and Prim. For the West Coast tribe, we have Brian, Jessica, Henry, Beth, Fred, Amy, Jerry, Cassidy, Rudy, and Charlotte. Here are your buffs.'"

"arawak"

- When Jeff said we would be divided up into two tribes, I started thinking about an East vs. West Showdown. It's like Los Angeles vs. New York here. And I know who I'm representing."

As soon as the tribes were arranged, Jeff gave the tribes their first reward challenge. When the rules were explained, the challenge began. In the first round, the pair of Jerry and Beth had trouble with the pair of Wayne and Mavis as the East scored first. In the second round, Brian and Cassidy were able to out maneuver Nathan and Kendra and the score was tied at 1. In round three, Fred and Jessica teamed up to prevent the pair of Ernie and Daphne. The West led two to one. In round 4, Henry and Charlotte got tangled up with Dexter and Prim. But Charlotte was able to touch the pole and put the West on top three to one. In round 5, Tanner was tackled by Rudy not once, but twice. While Veronica and Amy got heated in the round, Tanner tried to climb Rudy's back hoping to prevent him from scoring. But Rudy did not budge and score the winning point for the West tribe. The West Coast won reward.

Upon arriving at their camp, the West tribe start to mingle and work on their fire. It isn't long before Henry comes to the rescue and secures fire for his tribe.

"arawak"

- People think I'm nothing but a stupid geek that only knows data crap. But I also know how to make fire. Thanks mom for signing me up for summer camp every year."

Not everyone is thrilled about Henry's achievement. Jerry, a diehard Texas Longhorns fan, is starting to hate on Henry because he's a Texas A&M student. "arawak"

- When I signed on to be on this show, I said the only way I wouldn't be happy is if an Aggie were on the show. Well now there is an Aggie and I hate him. I hate the Aggies. The Longhorns we're always Texas's college and I'll see to it that the dumbs Aggie is the first one to leave before I do."

Amy is taking charge over the shelter building and it appears that the West Coast tribe has good chemistry making the door. But not everyone is thinking about the shelter.

"Jerry Hey Brian. I was thinking about an alliance with Cassidy and Beth. Are you in? We can cause problems for the other losers. BrianAre you sure?JerryHell yea partner! I got it figured out. We'll start with the lunatic Aggie. He's the first one to go."

"arawak"

- I look over and see Jerry and Brian whispering about an alliance and I'm thinking what are those clowns up to when we're building the shelter? It's just a reminder that the game has begun.

Meanwhile, the East Coast tribe is feeling the wrath of their loss at the reward challenge. But Nathan decides to help the tribe by making fire. He grabs two stones, makes a pile of leaves and wood and after a series of attempts, he is able to make fire.

"taino"

- There's two things that I take great pride in. Being a football player at Miami and being a great outdoorsmen. When those two mix in, I'm the one walking away with a million dollars. Who cares if we don't have flint? I can make fire twenty times better than those Western morons over there."

"WayneNathan, you are one ballsy sob man. Kendra I agree. I feel better about losing since we have you around. Tanner What else can you do? NathanI'll show you."

As Nathan starts to showoff his muscle by picking up big wood, Prim is not at all impressed by Nathan.

"taino"

- Nathan is walking around like he's God or a King or something. And it pisses me off that everyone is just bowing down to him. We all have different talents. But we don't have to be boastful about them. If he keeps this up, he's going home.

As the sun sets on the Jamaican Islands, both tribes sleep in their shelter for the first time. Although it seems like nothing bad happened, the tribes know that paranoia is not very far.

Day 2
At the break of dawn, Amy awakens and sees Rudy walking around looking at the beach. She walks up to join him.

"Amy Mind if I join you? Rudy Sure! AmySo listen, I was just watching you and I thought that maybe you could use a friend. I look around and see that no one here is trustworthy. So I thought maybe if you want, then we can be allies. RudyOk. I guess we can try."

"arawak"

- Amy is a very beautiful girl and I was surprised that she came up to me and suggested that we form an alliance. The hard part for me to do is try to see if this can work and make sure I don't fall in love with her. After all, I've had a pretty bad experience with women before. I don't want my heartbroken again.

"AmySo I think we need to look out for Jerry and Henry. There sure to butt heads soon. RudyI agree. And maybe if it comes to be, then perhaps we should add a third member to our alliance."

Fred walks up to the two of them.

"FredWhat's this I hear about an alliance? Amy We were just talking about forming one. RudyI think you are the third guy we need. FredReally? RudyAbsolutely! We can cause chaos here. Amy No one will ever know what hit them."

"arawak"

- When the situation come for me to take part in an alliance with Amy and Rudy, I was taken aback because I never thought no one wanted me in a group here. But now that I have two people that want me in their team, I'm all in for it.

"arawak"

- I've already got two friends who I can trust in Fred and Rudy. We got a lot of work to do. If we keep this alliance a secret, then our game will take us to the top.
