Opening
The camera opens to various shots of the Solomon Islands, showcasing the stunning beauty of it, as well as shots of the marine life swimming through the ocean.

Probst: We're standing on the island of Nendo in the Temotu District, a stunning and beautiful collection of islands that make up just part of the Solomon Islands, a land with culture spanning thousands of years. It is on these various islands that eighteen everyday Americans will be marooned to fend for themselves, while battling themselves, and each other. They've already been divided into six tribes based off the careers that make up a large part of their lives. On such small tribes, there will be nowhere to hide...

The camera cuts from Jeff to showing an outrigger canoe being paddled by a native, with three people wearing red attire in the canoe behind him. It zooms up to a middle aged man with orange hair and a large moustache. "tikopia2"

- As we paddled in, all I could think was 'man, I wish I had a canvas here'. The islands are so beautiful dude, and painting is just like... my life man... it's the only way to truly capture this journey we call life.

The camera then pans across to a younger guy in a striped shirt, then to a young woman with long and wild hair who is smiling at them both and brushing her hand through the water. "tikopia2"

- Looking around at the people in the canoe with me, I feel like I"m with a great group. Moustache guy? Love him and don't even know him. The cutie with the curly hair? Seems great. I don't know if this is my tribe, but if this is it, it's going to be insane. I'm a huge fan of Survivor, and there hasn't ever been tribes this small, so I hope I can navigate it well...

The camera pans out to the sky as a helicopter is shown, before a shot from inside the helicopter shows three people wearing orange buffs. It focuses on the face of a woman in an expensive looking suit with large hoop earrings. "anuta2"

- I'm a CEO for one of the biggest corporations in America. People do fear me. Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn, and if you don't do what I say, you're fired right then and there. I don't use the term aggressive, I'm just assertive, and at the end of the day, I get done. People out here better not with me.

The camera then pans across to a young blonde girl wearing sunglasses who looks at Susan and rolls her eyes. "anuta2"

- The old hag on my tribe, she looks like she's going to be a total bitch. She looks just like my old boss, and I took none of her crap, nor will I put up with Miss I wore a suit to a tropical 'ing island.

Ashley looks out the window down to the distance where a small, old-fashioned biplane is shown flying. The camera cuts to a shot inside the plane, where three contestants in yellow are seated, with the camera focusing on an old, grey-haired man with a bowtie and suspenders. "utupia2"

- I'm probably old enough to be the granddad of all these kids out here, and while they may have the brawn over an old geezer like me, they won't have the smarts or the wisdom. I'm a professor, so I'm used to taking the lead around young people, but I think taking a back seat will really help me.

After this, the camera cuts to where a truck is driving along a dirt road by the water, with three people in green clothes sitting in the back of the truck. The camera zooms in on a middle aged man with a wild beard who is poking his tongue out of the truck like a dog, before panning to an African-American woman who is laughing at this. "banie2"

- I was just sitting in the truck and it was interesting to just look at the people I was with. I'm a cop, I'm observant, and more importantly, I will own the fact I'm a cop and will use it to my advantage. If I pull you over, I don't care if you swear and shout at me, or if you try flirt your way out of it, I'm not going to let you go. There's no room for bias in the police force, or in this game.

A loud motor is heard in the background as a speedboat drives by in the water near the truck, before the camera cuts to a shot of three young people in blue clothes sitting in the back. The camera focuses in on a purple-haired girl in a blue tank top who has a determined expression. "vanikoro2"

- Being a pro-gamer, I really think I know what I'm doing much more than people here will assume. I make my living appealing to an audience on YouTube. I know what people want. That being said, most of my time is spent with no sleep, shooting people on a computer screen while guys stare at my boobs, and talking mad as I wreck people. The outdoors are certainly going to be out of my comfort zone...

The camera then pans over to an Asian girl with a black parker and glasses. "vanikoro2"

- I'm so excited for this game to start so I can start pitting all these fools against each other. I'm out here to win this game and have no problems lying or manipulating people. Sole Survivor is all I'm here for. I've worked on some of the biggest project with google, another million in my bank account isn't a big deal to me. This is a battlefield and I'm a one woman army.

Alex smirks, breaking the fourth wall and winking at the camera, before it pans back to land and cuts to a new shot of a horse chariot awkwardly going along a bumpy road. The camera cuts to inside where three people in purple clothes are sitting, as a shirtless guy in a purple headband runs his hand through his bright blonde hair. "teanu2"

- Getting pulled in on a chariot like a king is just the kind of treatment I deserve. Look at me, I have a beautiful face, beautiful legs, beautiful arms, beautiful abs, and a beautiful face... wait... did I say that already?

The camera then moves across to where a young, blonde haired girl is seated, looking out the window and smiling. "teanu2"

- Most people will recognise me for being a famous singer and I just can't help that. If they think, "she's made her money already, take her out", then I'm going nowhere, but hopefully someone is willing to keep me to the end thinking I won’t get the jury votes, right before I cut them at the throat.

Finally, the camera cuts back to Jeff who is standing by six coloured tribe mats.

"none"

- It is the ultimate test of survival, and only one will remain to claim the million dollar prize. Thirty-nine days, eighteen people, one... SURVIVOR!

After showing various nature shots of the Solomon Islands, it cuts to all the different vehicles with the members jumping out and approaching Jeff on the beach. "banie2"

- Our truck pulled up, and we jumped out the back, and everyone was arriving in different vehicles, all wearing different colours. I know personally, I was expecting that there'd be other green people and my tribe just wasn't complete yet, but nope. The way we arrived too was odd, like, I'm a builder, the bearded guy has a fireman shirt, and the chick looks like she's pretty strong, so maybe us coming in on a truck means something... who knows.

Following Jackson mentioning this, the camera cuts to a fairly overweight, middle aged, dark-skinned woman. "utupia2"

- Looking at what I assume are our tribes, I noticed just how physically weaker we are. I'm a big lady, we can all see that, and then we have the oldest looking fella out here, so unless the skinny young girl is secretly a ninja, we're in trouble. I don't want to be a pessimist at all, but facts are facts, and I don't think challenges will be in our favour...

Everyone finally takes their positions on the sand in front of Jeff.

Probst: Welcome everybody, to Survivor: Temotu!

(Everyone cheers loudly.)

Probst: Young guy in the blue (gesturing to a young brown haired contestant excitedly swaying from side to side).

Corey: Corey!

Probst: Corey, you seem like you're about to burst out of your skin right now.

Corey: You have no idea! (chuckling) I'm literally just so insanely psyched right now Jeff!

Probst: Woman in the yellow shirt.

Samantha: Samantha!

Probst: When you hear Corey's excitement, is that felt all around?

Samantha: Honestly Jeff, I think that's how we're all feeling right now!

(A few others not, before the camera pans to Ashley who rolls her eyes and scoffs.) "anuta2"

- What have I gotten myself into? These people are so weird, like, hello? No one cares about your life story right now, we're hear to play Survivor so just like, keep your mouth shut before I have to close it for you.

Probst: Well, I'm sure you're all wanting to learn what your tribes will be.

(Various people nod and look around.)

Probst: You're standing in them! This season we're doing something we've never done. Six tribes of three, all divided by career choices. Red tribe, you will be known as Tikopia, and your tribe is made up of people in arts careers. Orange tribe, you are Anuta, and you all work in business. Yellow, you are Utupia, and you are all in science. Next, the green tribe. Your name is Banie, and you each work in manual labour related jobs. Blue tribe, you are Vanikoro, workers in technology. And finally, Teanu in purple. You each are entertainers, famous in one way or another. So, guy with the moustache...

Elijah: Elijah.

Probst: Are these the sort of people you surround yourself with normally?

Elijah: Y'know man, the vibes of this group are already phenomenal, like... we're a close family of three already. Some like-minded people all working creatively, the power of that is unstoppable, dude.

(Elijah's response garners laughter, whilst a young guy with curly hair and a striped red shirt on his tribe smiles.)

"tikopia2"

- This Elijah guy already seems like he's going to be hilarious and it's great! He's a full blown hippie and I love it! Honestly, I thought coming in that I'd have a little bit of a hard time fitting in, but I'm with people that I think will get me, and won't look at me as someone that is a liability, just someone unique.

Probst: Where we are currently standing is the main island of the Temotu District, known as Nendo. You will each now travel by boat to your camps, where I suggest you get to work on building a shelter, and getting to know each other. You have a long game ahead of you, and a storm is approaching fast. Grab your stuff and head out!

Everyone heads to their boats before the camera cuts to a wide shot of them rowing then fades out.

Banie Tribe
A wave is shown crashing to shore before a loud scream is heard off-camera.

Matt: WE MADE IT GUYS!

(The camera cuts to show a slightly overweight man with a thick beard dancing around on shore.)

Matt: WE'RE ON SURVIVOR! "banie2"

- Okay, so I might have gotten carried away a bit there, BUT CAN YOU BLAME ME!? THIS IS SURVIVOR! AND I'M ON IT! I've been applying for this show since, well, forever! AND NOW I'M OUT HERE! I need someone to pinch me and wake me up, because dreams like this, they don't ever come true for the everyday guys like me, but here I am proving that wrong!

Following this the tribe members all gather by a fallen log to talk.

Amanda: So, tell me a bit about yourselves guys!

Jackson: Oh, well I'm Jackson, I'm twenty-four, and I work in construction.

Amanda: Awesome! And how about you... sorry I never caught your name.

Matt: That's alright, I'm Matt, I'm fourty-four, and if you couldn't tell by the shirt, I'm a firefighter. Been at it for a few years, and my little guy Henry loves it. First thing he does when he goes to school is tell all his friends that his daddy puts out fires.

Jackson: Sounds adorable, and I appreciate your dedication to saving lives sir. How about you ma'am?

Amanda: Well, my name's Amanda, I'm thirty-six, and I'm a Police Officer for the New York Police Department!

Matt: Gah! Can't stand those New York Yankees!

Amanda: (laughing) Me neither. My girlfriend tried getting me into baseball but it just didn't happen! "banie2"

- Usually I don't go running into conversations telling people that I'm a lesbian, but I just figured that these guys were both cool and so I'd tell them. The guys like to joke about it back at the station, but it's cool with me. My only concern is if someone here doesn't quite agree with it.

(Jackson is shown shifting around uncomfortably, which is picked up by the others.)

Matt: Well... we should probably get to work on gathering wood. Anyone care to join me?

Amanda: Sure! You're our master builder here Jackson, so would you mind staying back to scout out a good location for us to make our shelter?

Jackson: Fine by me ma'am!

Amanda: Great!

(Amanda and Matt walk into the forest.)

The camera cuts to show Amanda and Matt both collecting long, sturdy looking branches for the shelter frame.

Matt: I'd hate to be throwing the kid under the bus, but is it just me or was Jackson acting really strangely when you said you have a girlfriend?

Amanda: Yeah, I noticed that too. I hope it's nothing because he seems like a sweet kid otherwise, but I guess only time will tell... "banie2"

- Look, I’m not calling Jackson homophobic by any means, because I barely even know the guy, I only just met him. What I am saying though, is that he was visibly getting kinda squeamish when I mentioned to him that I’m gay. And it’s kinda odd to me because as a young guy I thought he’d be understanding, and yet it was Matt who was far more okay with it. It is disappointing, but I guess the fair thing is to give him time to come around to it, because maybe there's more to it than I'm seeing...

The camera pans from here to the sky, before cutting away.

Vanikoro Tribe
The three Vanikoro members are all shown pulling up to shore, with Corey eagerly hopping out of the boat to help drag it up. "vanikoro2"

- Oh. My. God! This is literally the most exciting and insane thing that's ever happened to me! Me! Little, fancy-pants Corey! Out on an island playing Survivor! I just want to suddenly pick up the remote and be like, "okay Corey, turn the TV off now, you're beginning to imagine you're inside it", but here I am! And looking at my tribe, I'm with two people that will be a blast to be around! I have a tall, dark haired girl with a fabulous fashion sense, and another with adorable pastel-purple dyed hair! They're just like my friends back home so I'm just wondering when we're going to go shopping and grab some coffee and brunch. So yeah, I'm very happy.

Everyone has made their way ashore and are excited to get to know each other.

Margot: This is it guys!

Corey: I know! I'm so ready to get this started!

Alex: Should we begin with introductions?

Corey: Sure! I'll start! So, uh, hey! I'm Corey, I'm twenty-four, and I basically fix computers and stuff!

Margot: Oh wow! Why don't I ever get bundles of energy like you when I call tech support?

Corey: (giggling) I suppose you've got the wrong number.

(All three laugh at this briefly before continuing.)

Alex: Well moving things along, I'm Alex, I'm twenty-seven, and I do web-design. "vanikoro2"

- Technology tribe or not, I don't want these people knowing that I'm a programmer. Programmers sit down, look at a problem, have an analytical approach to it, and work at it until the problem is solved. That's something that makes me dangerous out here, and I'm not about to show my cards this early. I'm here to go the distance, so if that means sitting back, playing the ditsy graphic designer, then by all means that's who they're going to get to know. I'm the brightest one out here and when push comes to shove, I will be showing it, but for now, it's just too early to expose that.

Corey: That's great!

Alex: Well, it pays the bills.

Corey: No need to be so modest! Anyway, our lucky last...

Margot: Margot.

Corey: Sorry. Margot, take it away!

Margot: Such a spotlight I wasn't prepared! Anyway, I'm Margot, I'm twenty three so I'm the youngest, and I make gaming videos on YouTube for a living.

Corey: Oh my goodness I thought I had seen your face somewhere!

Margot: Oh wow, wasn't expecting people to recognise me.

Corey: My little sister loves your videos!

Margot: Well maybe when this is all over she'll get to see me in person!

Corey: Oh my goodness she's going to flip out when she hears this!

Margot: I'm sure she will. So should we get to making the shelter.

Alex: Sure.

(Corey and Margot make their way to start clearing out an area, as Alex glares at them from a distance.)

"vanikoro2"

- I've got my eye on those two. Corey may be the sweet little guy geeking out over someone he idolises, but he clearly knows what he's doing. If he has that common ground with Margot by being able to talk about her videos, then that's one connection to neither of them that I have. Any edge I can get over people is an edge I'll take, but someone else getting an edge over me? Not allowed. I'll be on the lookout for certain, because those two won't sneak by me.

The camera shows Alex watching them closely, before panning away to the beach.

Teanu Tribe
The camera shows the Teanu tribe all sitting around, with Tiffany attempting to start a fire by merely rubbing twigs together, with not even smoke rising from it.

Tiffany: Oh my gosh why won't this work!?

Tyler: Ugh, give it here, I know what I'm doing.

(Tyler snatches the twigs from Tiffany, pauses, and begins doing the exact same thing she had been doing.)

Tiffany: Uh, I don't think that's worki-

Tyler: Quiet! I need to focus...

(Cameron is shown looking on in horror.) "teanu2"

- I know each of is more or less a celebrity to some extent on this tribe, and whilst I'm the football player that is outdoors and active all the time, these two may not be. Still though, come on! They're just giving our tribe a bad name! I think even a kindergartener would know that you can't just hit some damn sticks together and hope it starts a fire. These two are causing me too much pain to deal with right now…

(Cameron sighs, before grabbing a long piece of bamboo, splitting in half, then beginning to do the fire-saw method for creating fire without flint. After a while, smoke begins to billow out.)

Cameron: G- guys! I think I have something going here!

(Tiffany rushes over whilst Tyler just ignores him.)

Tiffany: Oh my gosh!

Cameron: Just blow!

(The two kneel down, blowing gently onto the small ember, before it suddenly ignites.)

Cameron: Haha! We have fire!

Tiffany: Cameron that was amazing!

(Tiffany's enthusiasm causes Tyler to groan.)

Cameron: Jeez Tyler, don't act so excited!

Tyler: Whatever. "teanu2"

- So this guy thinks he's so amazing because he got lucky and started our fire. Honestly, if it wasn't for him having appeal for football fans to watch the show, he wouldn't even be here. Football doesn't count as entertainment like modelling or singing do. As a model, I'm expressing my beauty through dimensions unfathomable to the likes of him. All he's famous for is throwing a ball. Get a real job instead of sitting around slapping other dude's asses with a towel in a sweaty locker room.

Tiffany: (hugging Cameron) Thank you so much! Having fire is going to be so great for us!

Cameron: Don't worry about it, someone had to get it started!

Tyler: Ugh, get a room you two.

Cameron: Do we have an issue here pal?

Tyler: I don't know, do we?

Tiffany: Guys just-

Tyler: No one asked you!

Cameron: Don't talk to a lady like that bro!

Tyler: Pfft. Call the chivalrous brigade, looks like they have a new recruit.

"teanu2"

- I don’t know what Tyler’s deal is, but I'm pretty sure he thinks he’s God's gift to women, and this stunningly picturesque beacon of perfection, so when I got the fire going it really made him feel insecure and jealous that he wasn't the big man in charge. If there’s some power struggle between me and him, then so be it. I'll outlast him, and even if it means Tiffany becomes the swing vote to choose who goes home, she'll always go with me over that moron. That’s the beauty of having three on a tribe, all it takes is a simple alliance of two, and now I'm safe.

Following this, the camera cuts away to a shot of birds flying overhead as storm clouds draw near.

Utupia Tribe
The camera is panning across the ocean, when there is a loud clap of thunder. It then cunts to the Utupia camp, with all three tribe members huddled under a very poorly made shelter.

Matilda: I mean it could be worse guys! At least it's just thunder and not rain yet!

(As she says this, rain drops begin to fall.)

Matilda: Oh no! What are the chances of that.

(Ryan and Samantha glance at each other and smirk.) "utupia2"

- By definition, I'm a genius, but I have a bit of a hard time with the social stuff. It's not that I mean to be weird or different to people, but I guess I just find different things interesting than most people. I kinda get nervous around people I haven't met before, so a lot of the things I'll joke about or think are funny other people don't laugh at or find insensitive, but I'm determined for that not to be the case out here!

There is a timeskip, with the camera showing all three tribe members trying to keep dry under their shelter that is completely falling apart, where Matilda is attempting to lift the tribe spirits by telling jokes, but ultimately is just annoying Ryan and Samantha.

Matilda: ...and so the penguin says, "he's not an eggplant, he's retarded!"

(Matilda begins to laugh, with Ryan and Samantha giving light chuckles to seem polite.)

Matilda: (sighing) Well, if this rain isn't going to ease up and the shelter is completely destroyed, it's not like I'm staying dry anyway. I'm going to go for a walk.

(Matilda leaves.)

Ryan: Well that young girl does not stop, does she?

Samantha: Oh my god I know right? She needs to take a chill pill, and as a chemist I most certainly can prescribe her some!

Ryan: (snorting out of laughter) I guess we've found the jokester of the group after all!

Samantha: I try. Plus, it beats her eggplant joke. I don't even get it.

Ryan: Don't worry, me neither.

Samantha: Well, now that we're alone, would it be too early to ask where your head is at?

Ryan: Well golly, I haven't really thought much about the vote yet.

Samantha: That's fine, I just worry that we're not the strongest physically so it could benefit us to talk before the challenge, because if we do lose it might be too late to talk then with all the scrambling that might happen.

Ryan: Well, I'd certainly love to entertain the thought of an alliance.

Samantha: That's great. I knew I got a good first impression from you.

Ryan: Likewise. I think we'll make an excellent duo. "utupia2"

- Ryan is a perfect person for me to go forward with, because I know if it comes down to it at a swap, I can easily throw him under the bus if it means I survive, because when they start to look at physical strength, I know I can at least out-muscle him. I'm by no means a Kelly Wiglesworth that's going to tear apart the immunities, but I surely can hold my own ofter an old professor in his sixties! I'm not saying I want us to lose, but you always need to be ready to expect the worst in a situation, and I just hope that we at least have an easy out in Matilda if we do lose.

With the rain not letting up, the two stay in the shelter, with the camera panning up to the rainy sky.

Tikopia Tribe
Still showing the rain pouring down from above, the camera now pans downwards to the Tikopia camp, where Elijah is sitting on the beach doing yoga, as Lacey and Noah both stay in the comfort of their well-made shelter.

Noah: Don't you think he's going a little overboard? He's going to be drenched by the time he comes into the shelter with us...

Lacey: I'd leave him, if he wants to meditate, let him.

Noah: ...I think we should probably get him in here.

(Noah stands up and goes to the edge of the shelter.)

Noah: (shouting) Elijah! Come get out of the rain you're getting soaked!

(Elijah shrugs his shoulders and heads to the shelter.)

Elijah: Aw man, bro, I'm just trying to get the full experience y'know? "tikopia2"

- When I'm just living my every day life, people see me and instantly think, ‘well look at this stoner hippie freak’, but there’s more layers than that to me, dude. It’s like a painting, you’ve got your foreground which is what most people see, but only the true artists look beyond that to the background, man. So Noah, even though he’s just a young little sapling, needs to stop and experience this, y’know. If he doesn't slow down and let the water soak, he won't grow into the big, strong oak tree that he can become out here, man. The kid's gotta just take a break to add more colours to his palette.

Noah: I know, I'd just hate for you to be getting sick on your first day out here, that's all.

Elijah: I appreciate your concerns my man, but I know how to live life... dude.

Noah: Why are you getting mad with me I'm just trying to look out for you...

Elijah: You're missing the point here, dude. You're looking out for what you think is best for me, but only I know the writing that's contained within the book that is Elijah.

(Lacey glances around, wide-eyed, stunned at the argument springing up out of nowhere.) "tikopia2"

- What the heck was that? We went from peace and quiet to Elijah squabbling with Noah over Noah just trying to look out for him in the span of a few minutes! The fact Elijah turned on a dime like that worries me, because I want to play with people I can predict out here, but if he can flip his emotions and has no issue being in tune with those emotions that quickly, then I think Noah and I need to have a talk about forming something closer. I love Elijah, he's a great spirit to have around camp, but my gosh, if I can't read him, even in the slightest, how am I meant to go forward with him?

The camera pans from this brief scene to the rainy sky once more, as night begins to approach.

Anuta Tribe
All three members of Anuta are huddled under the shelter as the wind and rain picks up, all the while it grows darker and darker in the night.

Susan: This isn't going to let up any time soon...

Ashley: Thanks astrologist!

Susan: ...do you mean meteorologist?

Ashley: Astrology, astronomy, same thing.

Susan: It still isn't the same thing...

Ashley: Whatever. It's not my field of work anyway.

Susan: It isn't mine either, I'm a CEO. Don't you think I would be on the science tribe if I were in any of the fields you just listed?

Ashley: Well look at you, big shot CEO right here! I'm sick and tired of people like you thinking you can boss around the people like me, your hard working employees that do all your grunt work for you!

Gordon: Ladies, ladies, no need to argue.

Ashley: Talk down to me like that again pal, and I'm going to shove your chauvinistic head up her ass.

(Susan and Gordon are both speechless.) "anuta2"

- I know that I can be overbearing and judgemental, but I go about it behind your back. Colleagues of mine will always bitch about me, not knowing I’m standing right by them. And as their CEO it’s not my job to be liked by them, it’s my job to lead. Survivor is a different game, but it’s also the same. To get to the point you can call the shots, you need to earn that power, and I think nobody here knows how to handle power quite like I do. So when you have someone like this little princess over here that thinks she can just yell at people without having any sort of power asserted first, it really makes me understand why she hasn't been promoted from a receptionist.

(Ashley flicks her hair back over her shoulder, and pouts.)

"anuta2"

- I'm at my boiling point with Susan. I can't stand her face, I can't stand her voice, I can't stand her attitude, I can't stand her self-righteousness, and I most certainly can't stand that she thinks she can tell me what to do. I'm sick of this tribe, I'm sick of these people. Susan is a [expletive]'ing bitch, Gordon is a piece of [expletive] who needs to choke on a nail gun, and I'm not going to sit around and take it.

(Ashley gets up and begins to make her way out of the shelter and into the rain.)

Gordon: Don't go out there you'll freeze!

Ashley: Hey, Einstein, how about you don't tell me what the [expletive] to do!

Gordon: Come on, there's no need for that sort of langua-

Ashley: (cutting Gordon off) What the [expletive]!? We're on an island in the middle of [expletive]'ing nowhere! Who gives a [expletive] about swearing!? Our shelter is completely [expletive]'ed, and I'm not about to sit around getting soaked, so anyone that wants to get off your asses and come to the cave is [expletive]'ing welcome to!

(Ashley storms off to go over to the caves to get dry whilst Gordon hangs his head down, visibly upset.)

Susan: Ignore her Gordon. She's a spoiled, rotten, little child.

Gordon: She just bit my head off and I did nothing!

Susan: Don't her get to you, she'll be gone before either of us.

Gordon: So you have my back?

Susan: What other choice do we have? Neither of us can stand that deranged creature, so all we've got on this tribe is each other.

Gordon: Yeah...

(The camera zooms on Susan who is shaking her head at the mess Ashley is causing.)

"anuta2"

- Gordon appears to me to be quite a macho and womanising guy, but Ashley just tore into him for no reason at all. It’s almost like she wants to go home. I swear, if we lose the challenge, I can’t see her surviving the vote. I’d rather go with sleaze ball Gordon than some prima donna child who will put target after target on her own back until a bullet goes straight through the bullseye. Gordon and I are definitely solid moving forward, because we need each other.

(The camera pans from Susan across to a skeptical looking Gordon.)

"anuta2"

- I find myself in an interesting position right now. I'm not going to stir up any chaos until we do happen to lose a challenge, but if these two ladies are going to do what all of them do, which is starting up a catfight out of nowhere, then that leaves me to choose where I go. On one hand, I have a somewhat sane person in Susan, but that's someone that could edge me out at a swap, or I have a total psycho in Ashley, someone who I can't stand but someone that is also a terrific asset to me moving forward because she's easy cannon fodder. I guess we'll wait and see, but it looks like I'm right between these two ladies, and that's just how I like it.

(Gordon smirks before the camera pans out to the sky.)

Anuta Tribe
(The sky is shown in a timelapse, with the darkness seeping out as day breaks. It cuts to the shelter which is completely destroyed, showing Susan and Gordon asleep in it, before cutting to the caves where Ashley is just waking up for the morning.)

"anuta2"

- These people are vile and terrible, and I like really just want to throw up being around them, so having the cave to myself at least gives me a retreat to think...

(Ashley stretches, before glancing back to shelter and seeing the others both asleep.)"anuta2"

- Before coming on the show, I hadn’t seen much Survivor. But the one thing I know is that you need to find the little necklace thing if you want to win. The other idiots on my tribe probably don’t think I’m out looking for it, but I’m going to find it, it's just all a matter of time before I get it.

(Ashley takes off down the beach, flipping over pebbles and uprooting bushes, demolishing everything in her path to try find it.)

Ashley: Where the [expletive] is it!?

(She keeps running, when she suddenly trips on a root sticking up from the ground. She briefly swears, before taking off again. This time she meets a small clearing where she sees a scroll in a crack of a palm tree.)

Ashley: The [expletive] is that?

(She quickly grabs it and opens it.)

Ashley: ''(reading) 'In order to gain the protection you desire, follow a business plan using wits to plan and conspire. You must remain bold when put to the test, for the idol is sealed within an enclosed nest. Use your experience to negotiate a deal, or use espionage and from the tribe you will steal. Inside your tribe's rice is a key to the idol you seek, but in pouring out rice to get it, havoc you'll wreak.' '' What the [expletive]!? I have to risk dumping our rice to get it!?

(Ashley walks off, before there is a timeskip showing her sitting at camp whilst Susan and Gordon sleep, eyeing the rice bag.)

Ashley: I guess I have to risk it...

(She finds where the key is contained in the sack, noticing that it is sewed inside the material of the bag. She takes out the machete, slicing it open, which spills out a reasonable amount of rice, but cleverly kneels down so it all lands in her lap. She takes the key, and tips as much rice as she can back, before running to where the original clue was.)

Ashley: Please tell me this is it!

(She places the key into a small lock in a box buried under the tree, and opens it, taking out the idol.)

Ashley: Bitch what the [expletive]!? I [expletive]'ing got it no [expletive]'ing way!

(She quickly opens it, putting it around her neck.)

Ashley: These losers are going to pay! "anuta2"

- Having this thing around my neck is going to show those mother [expletive]'ers what I'm made of. They think I'm the bitch who is causing trouble? Well this bitch now has an idol, and they can't do [expletive] about it! I'm going to enjoy watching their torches go out one after the other, because it will be the most satisfying and sweet thing to watch.

Ashley: Bet they'll regret sleeping in today!

(Ashley skips along back to camp, whistling gleefully along the way, before the camera pans out.)

Banie Tribe
It is still very early morning, with the camera cutting from the sky to show Amanda and Matt asleep in the shelter, with Jackson sitting out on the beach, staring at the waves.

(Jackson buries his face into his hands to cover his crying as emotional music plays.)

"banie2"

- ...I didn't think I was going to cry this soon. I... (sighing) I thought I was going to be stronger than this, but when Amanda spoke about having a girlfriend I just... (Jackson wipes away a tear from his eye and looks down, before sighing and sitting up straight) my little brother Aaron... he was gay... and he didn't exactly get an easy time growing up because of it. Just last February I was just getting home from work... and he as laid out on the floor of our bathroom... he had overdosed. If I just could've been there sooner, if I just took the time to check up on him, he'd still be here today... and he would've killed to see his older brother out here. He was such a big fan of the show, so I knew I had to come out here to do this for him. It's what he would have wanted. And now he's my little angel looking over me, and I know he's going to keep me safe out here. I know I owe Amanda an apology for the way I acted, but it's just a sensitive topic for me...

(The music fades down and the sunrise is shown across the water, before panning back to Jackson still sitting at the beach, when Amanda approaches him.)

Amanda: Jackson?

Jackson: (turning suddenly) What? Oh... hey...

Amanda: Is this a bad time? I just wanted to see if you were okay...

Jackson: Just, you know... emotions.

Amanda: If you need someone to talk to, I'm here for you.

Jackson: Actually, uh... I wanted to apologise for the way I acted yesterday. I swear, I don't have any issues with you being a lesbian, it's... it's just...

Amanda: It's just what? "banie2"

- I was still unsure of whether or not it was the right idea to tell Amanda about my brother, but I didn’t want any bitterness or awkwardness between us, so I just kinda vented all my emotions to her…

Jackson: ...and to this day, I just miss him. He was my favourite person in the world, and he's just... gone.

Amanda: Yeah, that's perfectly understandable. And hey, wherever he is in this universe, I'm sure he's so proud of you coming out here and living his dream.

Jackson: You think so?

Amanda: I know so.

Jackson: Thanks. I'm glad we had this talk. It really just helped me clear up some things in my head.

Amanda: Don't mention it. It's what friends are for.

Jackson: I'm going to head back to camp, someone needs to give the fire a try.

(Jackson walks away, as Amanda watches, smiling endearingly.)

"banie2"

- I saw a different side of Jackson than we had seen the first day out here, and it was really interesting to see his young, tough guy side give way to his genuine emotions. The one thing it showed me is that I can really trust the kid, and if we somehow do end up going to tribal, he’s a perfect candidate for me to align with.

The camera pans from where Amanda is sitting at the beach up to the sky.

Tikopia Tribe
The shot opens to Elijah swimming around the ocean, whilst Noah and Lacey sit around camp laughing with each other.

Lacey: No, wait, let me guess!

Noah: Go for it.

Lacey: Okay, okay. Hm... I'm going to say tacos!

Noah: Ouch, so close, nachos are my favourite.

Lacey: Oh screw you that's the same thing basically!

(The two laugh as Lacey playfully pushes Noah.)

Noah: (glancing out to the ocean where Elijah is swimming) ...he's out really deep, do you think he'd notice if we went off for a little bit?

Lacey: Not really, what did you have in mind?

Noah: Do you trust me?

Lacey: I... I guess.

Noah: Well then, follow me.

(Noah runs off, with Lacey noticing him having a slight limp as he runs. She shrugs this off and chases after him, eventually finding him standing on the edge of a small cliff, overlooking a beautiful stream with a waterfall trickling down.)

Lacey: Wow. So I'm not even going to bother asking how you found this place when we've been here for two days because it's just too beautiful for me to care.

Noah: Yeah, she is b- uh, I mean it is beautiful.

Lacey: Want to go for a swim?

Noah: I'm really not much of a swimmer.

Lacey: Oh alright. Anyway, thanks for bringing me here.

Noah: No problem. There's one thing I wanted to ask while we're here though.

Lacey: Ask away!

"tikopia2"

- I knew that on our tribe, I'd need one person that I could just sit down and form a connection to that I would stick with the whole way, and Lacey and I were just getting along so well at camp, so I knew I had to bring her to the stream to at least give an alliance between us a shot. I was out looking for the idol and came across this place, and it's beautiful, so I knew if there was any place to take a girl like Lacey, this was it.

Noah: Well, how would you feel about the two of us aligning?

Lacey: You have my word that I'm totally on board for that!

Noah: Really?! Oh god I was terrified you and Elijah were going to take me out!

Lacey: What? Why? You're my favourite person out here!

Noah: I don't know... I guess I'm just a bit different, so I figured I'd be an outcast.

Lacey: (smiling at Noah) Different is good to me.

"tikopia2"

- Noah is a sweet kid. I can tell his heart is in the right place and he means well, so if he wants to go far with me, I'm more than happy to go with him. Honestly, I wanted to find someone to align with as quick as possible out here. While I of course want to play a good, aggressive game, I think it's more important to remain a kind and free person, because at the end of the day, I want people to like me for me, not for anything else, and I know I can go far if I just keep it that way.

Noah: So... now what?

Lacey: I'm going to go back if you want to join me, we can't let Elijah see we're gone.

Noah: Okay.

Lacey: Are you coming with me?

Noah: (pausing, then smirking) I might look around for the idol a bit.

Lacey: (laughing) Good luck.

(Lacey walks off, with the camera zooming on Noah who is smiling.)

"tikopia2"

- When I came in here, I thought I'd get all sorts of labels that screw me over, and thought there was no way I'd go far, but here I am in an alliance in the very first round! I'm just really glad to have someone who is willing to be my friend out here, because as long as I have Lacey, I know that everything will work out fine for me. It's too difficult to go this game alone. Mavericks never succeed, and I really think we compliment each other well, so when that finale rolls around, I think the two of us will gladly be sitting there.

The camera shows shots of the stream, before panning out to the treetops.

Vanikoro Tribe
The camera is still moving around the tree tops when it transitions to the Vanikoro, showing various trees, with ominous music playing. It shows some bushes rustling, with Alex suddenly jumping out of it.

Alex: Jesus, where is it!?

"vanikoro2"

- I know that a key tool to me being able to play the sly, fearless game I'm after is finding the idol. Straight up, if I find the idol, I'm messing with these people hardcore. I'm talking, throwing a tantrum around camp to get all the votes on me, and sending home some beacon of hope to people with just one vote after idoling myself. I have the vision all set out, and I swear, it's got to be here somewhere.

(Alex walks through the forest trail, kicking aside various small rocks. As she walks, the camera pans to a tree she passes that has a large blue marking on the top of its trunk. She keeps walking, passing two more trees, this time one having a green marking midway up the tree, and another with a white marking down the bottom. She keeps walking, and eventually spots a scroll that is nestled in a tree's hollow.)

Alex: (reaching in to grab it) There is no way I have it already!

(Alex grabs the note and opens it.)

Alex: ''(reading) 'Buried beneath the tree at your feet, a combination box contains the idol you'll meet. To crack the code, be technical and wise, for hidden around you the combination resides. Do not panic, you make a living with codes, so go seek the answer along these twisted roads.' ''Oh wow.

"vanikoro2"

- So I guess each idol clue will be specific to each tribe, because I got given this long clue talking about technicalities and codes, obviously because we're the technology tribe. One part of me was freaking out because it's such a cool little way to get the idol, but the other part of me has no idea what the code could be.

Alex: Hm... well the combination requires ordering colours correctly, but where do I find the colours...

(Alex walks around a bit, looking in nearby bushes and studying the landscape for any ideas.)

Alex: Think Alex, think.

(She keeps wandering, still unsure, and eventually runs to rebury the box and hide the scroll.)

"vanikoro2"

- So I couldn't get it this very attempt, no big deal. We have a challenge to go win, and I'm sure I'll have plenty of chances to figure out this clue at another time. For now my main goal is to get our tribe together to win this challenge, because Lord knows we need it.

(Alex walks back into camp where Corey and Margot are both sitting back in the shade, both fatigued a lot.)

Alex: Are you two all good to help get coconuts?

Corey: Just give me a minute girl. "vanikoro2"

- Okay, so like, I try be an optimist and keep my happy-go-lucky little flamboyant attitude going, but goodness gracious me, we better not have a hard challenge coming up because gurl, we are weak right now! It's like, day two and we've been through torrential rain and now the sun is all like, (putting on a deeper voice) "haha Corey, time for you to burn!" . Like, we don't have flint to make a fire, so we can’t even boil water. We’re literally drinking rain water we collected because we don’t know what else to do. I miss getting Starbucks every morning. Literally, I would throw out all my Nicki Minaj albums for a cup of coffee and a sandwich right now... okay maybe not that extreme, but you get my point!

Alex: Margot?

Margot: Yeah, yeah. Just give us a sec to be out of the sun.

"vanikoro2"

- Bottom line, we’re the nerd tribe. Well, there’s a science tribe, but we’re the computer nerd tribe. On top of that, I think we’re also probably the youngest tribe. I’m only twenty three, Corey is twenty four, and Alex is twenty seven, and I it’s quite clear that we don’t have much, if any, outdoor experience. I don’t think I’ve even been camping since high school camp, and we stayed in cabins for that. This is rough and I just hope we can at least pull through this first challenge.

Alex: Alright, suit yourselves.

(Alex heads off to go chop some coconuts.)

Margot: Did we, or did we not just say that we were glad to help if she let us relax for a tiny bit first?

Corey: Yeah, I'm not sure what's up with her.

Margot: I get that she wants to get stuff done, but she can at least wait a moment can't she?

Corey: Normally, I'd so be here for this tea, but I really do just want to rest up for the challenge. Sorry.

Margot: Fair point.

(The camera cuts back to Alex who is chopping open a coconut, and after glancing to see the others still in the shelter, drinks it all herself, giving a malicious chuckle, before the camera fades out.)

Teanu Tribe
The camera fades back in, with a timeskip to the following morning. The Teanu Tribe's flag is shown, before Cameron is shown walking in with tree-mail and addressing the other two.

Cameron: Would anyone like to do the honours?

Tyler: (snatching it) Give it here. A... ass... assigning! Assigning one contestant to an object... oh objective!

Cameron: Just hand it back if you can't read it...

Tyler: Shut up! It's a really stupid font!

Cameron: There's no shame in it.

Tyler: (childishly throwing it back at him) Just read it.

Cameron: Alright. ''(reading) 'Assigning one contestant to an objective each, the first of you will swim from the beach. The next will use brute strength to move a mass, a puzzle deciding which of you will finish last.' ''So it looks like we have one swimmer, one person lifting something heavy, then a puzzle solver.

Tyler: I'll do the heavy lifting thanks!

Cameron: No offence to you Tyler, but I just so happen to be six foot three and am a professional quarterback, I think I can handle it.

Tyler: Ugh fine, I'll swim

Tiffany: Wait but I'm really not good at puzz-

Tyler: Damnit Tiffany! Just give it a go!

Cameron: I really don't like the way you're talking to her, man.

Tyler: Deal with it.

"teanu2"

- Cameron thinks he's such a gentleman. He's the type of guy to be all sweet and kinda to a chick, then cry and whine when he's suddenly shoved off into the friendzone. There's not room for the two of us here, so he's lucky I'm about to kill this challenge, because otherwise he'd be walking out that door faster than he can blink!

The camera cuts out from the conversation to show a shark swimming in the water, before panning out to sea.

Utupia Tribe
The camera moves from the prior ocean shot to a new one at Utupia, before cutting to the camp where Ryan brings in the same tree mail note, and they read it out.

Ryan: Alright, so what should we all go for?

Samantha: I'm not exactly a fit or lightweight girl, so I'm out of swimming contention.

Ryan: I concur. Would you be okay to swim Matilda?

Matilda: I'll give it a shot.

Ryan: That leaves the two of us, and I think it's clear who will lift something heavy easier...

Samantha: Agreed. I'm on the heavy lifting.

"utupia2"

- This challenge is probably an important one for us to win. Nobody wants to lose someone at the first tribal, and I certainly don't want to be the person to mess it up. I've had a brief talk with Ryan about the vote if we lose, but who knows if that's set in stone, so we're going to have to go out there and kick some ass!

Ryan: Alright everyone, bring it in!

(They all put their hands into the centre of their huddle, one on top of another.)

Samantha: Utupia on three. One, two, three...

Everyone: UTUPIA!

The camera moves out from the huddle before fading to black.

Immunity Challenge
Everyone takes their places at their tribe mats, waiting to be addressed by Jeff.

Probst: Alright, for today's challenge, one member will race into the water, and swim out to a buoy where you'll retrieve a key. You'll then bring it back, and give it to your next member, who will unlock a large wooden crate from its chains, then will need to push the crate up the sandy hill until it reaches the platform. The final person will open the crate, and take out puzzle pieces. First five teams to solve the puzzle, win immunity. In addition, we're playing for reward...

(Probst pulls a cover off a large table, where multiple rewards are shown.)

Probst: Each of the first five to finish will get fire in the form of flint, with the first four being able to choose between a large fire making kit, a tarp, a set of fishing gear, and finally blankets and pillows. First place will pick first, all the way down to fourth who will get whatever is left. I'll give you a minute to strategise, then we'll get started.

(There is a timeskip as everyone takes their places.)

Probst: On the swim we have Elijah for Tikopia, Ashley for Anuta, Matilda for Utupia, Jackson for Banie, Alex for Vanikoro, and finally Tyler for Teanu. Pushing the crate for Tikopia is an interesting choice in Lacey, Gordon will be pushing for Anuta, Samantha for Utupia, Matt for Banie, Corey for Vanikoro, and lastly Cameron for Teanu, leaving Noah, Susan, Ryan, Amanda, Margot and Tiffany on the puzzle for their respective tribes. Survivors ready? GO!

Challenge Summary: Probst: BANIE WINS IMMUNITY AND FIRST CHOICE OF REWARD! Probst: ...TIKOPIA WINS IMMUNITY AND REWARD! We're still looking for three more!
 * The swimmers all race out, with Elijah swan diving into the water. Jackson is first to reach the buoy, surprisingly followed by Matilda in second, then Elijah, Tyler and Alex, with Ashley struggling.
 * Elijah kicks into a whole new gear, swimming quickly and is back with the key first, with Lacey trying to push the crate, but not making a lot of progress, handing the lead over to Matt who pushes it with ease.
 * Matilda arrives back right as Matt begins pushing, giving the key to Samantha who pushes with moderate success.
 * Matt already has his crate up to the platform when Tyler and Alex arrive back, allowing Amanda to have a quick start on the puzzle.
 * Tyler and Alex hand off to Cameron and Corey respectively, with Cameron moving the crate easily, overtaking Samantha and Lacey in the process, whilst Corey struggles.
 * Ashley finally arrives back, giving the key to Gordon who is able to push mildly easily, overtaking Corey who isn't making a lot of ground.
 * Cameron props his crate up on the platform, allowing Tiffany to begin the puzzle, which she quickly begins to do.
 * As Lacey is finally finished with the crate, Amanda has already lead her tribe to victory, blitzing the puzzle.
 * Tiffany takes a look at the puzzle and is dumbfounded by it, while Noah quickly pieces it together. As this goes on, Gordon now overtakes Samantha, allowing Susan to begin the puzzle.
 * Samantha finally has her crate up, as Corey continues to struggle, the weight being too much for him to handle. As he continues to struggle up the hill, Noah shouts out for Jeff to check his puzzle.

Noah: Thank god. Probst: AND WITH AN INCREDIBLE COMEBACK, VANIKORO WINS IMMUNITY AND REWARD!
 * Ryan opens the chest for Utupia, beginning to put some puzzle pieces together, with Corey very nearly finished pushing the crate, but still incredibly far behind.
 * As he finally has it up on the platform, Margot takes out the puzzle pieces and begins placing it together. She works at a blinding speed, quickly overtaking Ryan who just started, as well as Tiffany who was one of the first to begin it.
 * Tiffany begins to struggle, as Margot is now in the lead, and places her last few pieces.

Corey: Yass Margot!

(Margot breathes a sigh of relief before hugging her tribe mates.) Probst: Susan is WRONG! You've got to fix it before you can finish! Probst: Susan is... RIGHT! ANUTA WINS IMMUNITY AND THE LAST REWARD SPOT! We're looking for one more tribe for immunity! Probst: That is... correct! Teanu JUST HANGS ON FOR IMMUNITY, SENDING UTUPIA TO TRIBAL!
 * Susan now thinks she has the puzzle done, so Jeff runs over to check.
 * Ashley rolls her eyes on the sidelines, as Susan tries to find her error. As this goes on, Tiffany is still struggling on the puzzle, with Ryan now gaining ground on her. Realising her error, Susan quickly fixes it and calls for Jeff again.
 * Ryan picks up the pace, desperately trying to get his tribe back into it, as Tiffany keeps floundering about, unsure what to do. Seeing this, Tyler kicks the ground in frustration, with Cameron unable to look. Tiffany's hands begin to shake, as she places in the last few pieces just seconds ahead of Ryan, hoping she is right.

(Samantha and Matilda head over to comfort Ryan who is dissapointed. After this, there is a timeskip with everyone back to their mats.)

Probst: Alright, since you finished first, Banie, choose your reward.

Matt: We'll take the fire kit.

Probst: One fire kit for you. Tikopia...

Noah: I think we're going to take the fishing gear.

Probst: As you wish. Vanikoro...

Corey: Definitely the tarp Jeff!

Probst: Alright. That leaves the comfort items for you Anuta, and a flint will be waiting back at camp for all five victors. Head on back to camp and enjoy your rewards.

(The five winning tribes all leave, with just Utupia left with Jeff.)

Probst: Utupia, tribal tonight with me where someone will become the first person voted out of Survivor: Temotu. I'll give you the afternoon to strategise, and then I'll see you at tribal.

(They all head out, very disappointed, as the camera zooms on Matilda.)

"utupia2"

- I had us right up there with the first place team at the swim, and the other two blew it. It really is a stagnant sense of disappointment to be left in such a wave of fulfilment from doing great in your own part, only for the others to mess up theirs. I don't know where I stand in this tribe, but after his performance today, I don't think there's room on this tribe for old man Ryan.

(The camera zooms in on Ryan who is looking guilty, before going out to birds eye view shot of them all walking out.)
