The first tribe to reach their mat and raise their flag wins immunity. Winner: 

Day 1
Across the plains of Norway, sixteen Americans walk to the starting mat to begin their adventure on Survivor. Despite not saying a word, first impressions are forming.

The sixteen meet Jeff at the bottom of a large hill. After a short QnA, centering around gender, Jeff splits the two tribes by gender, surprising the group.

- I know some of the girls are gonna really try to beat the boys because of the battle of the sexes. This is gonna be a tough season.

Jeff then goes over the first reward challenge. He states the first person from each tribe to reach the top of the mountain will win individual immunity for their tribes first Tribal and the first tribe to have all their members reach the top will win an extra bag of corn and beans. Then, without warning, Jeff begins the challenge. For Narvik, Hank and Leo are the front runners while Justin and Quinn trail behind. For Vardo, Levi is the only one at the front while everyone else struggles. Hank is the first to the top and confidently takes the necklace with a smug grin on his face as Leo just barely finishes behind him. A majority of Narvik reaches the top as Levi gets to the top and takes the Vardo necklace. After Levi takes the necklace, the last two Narvik members get to the top, winning them an extra bag of beans. After the challenge, Jeff instructs the tribes to go their separate ways.

- When the men won the reward, it just gave us the extra boost of confidence we need to take them out.

At Narvik, Hank walks with an overconfident and smug smile on his face. He goes on how he destroyed everyone else and how he will be an asset to the tribe. Justin takes notice and talks to Leo about Hank. The two agree he has to go.

The women arrive to their camp first. After seeing their flag, they cheer and start introductions. Maria looks away and notices the Narvik flag. She points it out to everyone and realizes that the One World twist is in play. As the men arrive, Maria states 'Men and women living together, this will be fun.' The men are equally surprised at the women being at their camp, with both Chris and Hank upset.

Chris brings his tribe together and tells them they will stick together until all the 'weal girls' are gone. This act annoys Leo, Alex, John, and Justin. As the men disperse, the four agree to stick together, as they dislike the way Chris handled the twist.

The two tribes begin to work on separate shelters. The women work together as a unit while the men are all over the place. Kevin gripes about the work ethic of his tribe, which annoys everyone, including the women.

"vardo"

- Kevin is annoying. We could hear him complain from our side of the beach. It's incredibly annoying and I hope he goes soon.

The women begin to bond during shelter building, with the exception of Gina. Gina only give one word replies or doesn't talk at all. This is noticed by both Sam and Julie, who go out to get shelter pieces together.

"vardo"

- Gina doesn't really talk to us. In the beginning days of this game, talking to the tribe is important because it can put you in a good spot.

At the men's side, Quinn wanders around aimlessly. He tries forming alliances with people but barely remembers previous conversations he had, which causes the tribe to laugh at him.

Night begins to fall and all sixteen sit together and get to know one another. Chris, Quinn, and Hank, not wanting to talk to the women, go to their shelter. Maria begins to tell life stories about coming to America and how hard it was.

"vardo"

- I want the tribes to know me for me. I feel like telling them my story is a great way to do that.
