Welcome to Paradise!

This is the first episode of Survivor: Bora Bora

Introduction
The camera moves through hazy white clouds and unveils a breathtaking shot of the beautiful, pristine blue waters below that surround a lush island chain. As the background music begins to pick up momentum, multiple shots are shown of the locale that include sharks swimming just below the calm and clear water surface, waves crashing against the white sand beaches, and tiny monkeys that are situated in the tall trees of the inland jungle. The camera cuts back to an aerial shot where a white helicopter flies into view from the right side of the screen with none other than Jeff Probst standing in the open door frame, prepared to give the opening monologue.

Three small speed boats are shown from above racing through the aqua blue waters of the ocean, traveling so fast that each wave causes the boats to jump from the surface. The first castaway shown from the first boat is Julie, who looks off into the distance as her hair blows in the wind.

The next castaway to be shown is Brandon, who's sitting down but bouncing all around in his seat due to the high speed at which the boat is traveling over the water.

Another shot of the three speed boats is shown as a narration by Jeff Probst begins to be heard before the camera actually cuts back to show Jeff in the helicopter.

Back down on the boats Finnigan is shown holding his stomach as he looks into the camera in a very self aware manner, shaking his head, clearly feeling a little sea sick from the rough ride he's had to endure.

Debbie is shown as her eyes shift from one side to the other, scoping out the rest of the group around her.

The helicopter then veers away from the camera and makes a drastic change in altitude, falling out of view.

-Shortened version of the opening intro plays, displaying no names or contestants as the tribes have yet to be designated-

The scene opens to a shot of Jeff Probst standing on a white sand beach with a thriving jungle in the background, his hands on his hips and flashing his infamous dimples with a grin. The fifteen brand new castaways walk in a long single file line, all with looks of anticipation on their faces, down past the shoreline and toward him. As they reach a designated colorless mat everyone begins huddling into a group. An establishing shot is shown of the entire cast standing before Jeff.

Jeff Probst: (Grins) Welcome... (Raising hands from hips and up to unveil) to Survivor: Bora Bora!

The castaways errupt with excitement and cheer, clapping even ensues while a few others whistle.

Jeff Probst: Lets get things started with a few introductions to get to know one another. (Points to Kathryn) Woman in the heels, what's your name and what is it you do?

The camera focuses onto Kathryn, a very elegant and confident looking woman.

Kathryn: (Smiles) My name's Kathryn and I design handbags, Jeffrey.

Jeff chuckles at Kathryn's extension to his name.

Jeff Probst: So why Survivor, Kathryn?

Kathryn: Why not? Everyone loves a little adventure.

Jeff nods with a smile then moves on to the next person, Keira.

Jeff Probst: (Nodding in Keira's direction) What about you, what is it that you do?

Keira: I work in a smoke shop.

A chuckle is heard among the group, but Keira owns it with a smile.

Jeff Probst (Playfully): ''Selling things for tabacco... I'm sure.''

Keira: Uuuh, something like that.

More giggles are heard as the camera focuses onto Raymond as he cracks a smile but then continues to shake his head and roll his eyes.

Jeff Probst: What about you?

Raymond: I'm a cop.

Keira (Sarcastic): (Over the top) Oh (bleep)!

The entire group fills with laughter. Raymond extends his hand over into Keira's direction and jokes that he'll let her go this time with a warning.

Jeff Probst: Last but not least, lets end things off with the girl in the middle with the pony tail.

Julie: (Waves) Hey, I'm Julie.

Jeff Probst: What is it that you do, Julie?

Julie: I'm a kindergarten teacher, Jeff. (Smiles)

Jeff Probst: And what brings you all the way to Bora Bora, Julie the kindergarten teacher?

Julie: Money.

Jeff chuckles, then continues forward.

Jeff Probst: Okay then, what do ya say we get this game started then? As you may have noticed for the first time ever there are only fifteen of you. You may be wondering how we're going to split this group into two even tribes, well the answer is we're not.

The camera scans the crowd, catching a glimpse at some baffled and confused faces.

Jeff Probst: For the first time ever in Wafflefreak history, there will be three starting tribes.

Julie can be seen excitedly mouthing 'wow'.

Jeff Probst: How might we be picking these tribes you might ask? It's time to introduce to you the very first twist of the season. This season's big twist is all about second chances, meaning that you'll be playing this game with three players from the past.

Leroy's jaw drops as he frantically looks around to his fellow castaways to gauge their reactions too.

Jeff Probst: All three of these players are deemed fitting of a second chance because they knew how to play the game hard, but left us too soon to be considered All-Star material. These three players will act out a school yard pick and individually hand pick the tribe they want to go into this game for a second chance with.

Kristin is shown resting her chin in her hand, shaking her head.

Debbie (Whispering/Concerned): (To Clyde) This is crazy...

All while Leroy stands with a resting face, looking very displeased.

Jeff then eagerly begins to reveal who's coming back for a second time.

Jeff Probst: First, from Survivor: Myanmar, she lead the girls alliance which eventually planned her own demise... It's Paige.

Paige walks out from behind the group of brand new castaways and waves while giving a warm smile. Everyone remains quiet, giving the opposite of the suspected cheery welcome.

Paige walks before them all up stands up beside Jeff to his left. With a nervous giggle, Paige offers a final smile and wave.

Jeff Probst: Up next, he was in control during the early days he spent while on Survivor: Maldives, but it all fell apart for him as he was voted out just prior to jury. Welcome back Nick.

Nick walks up the beach with a confident smile.

Nick (Friendly): Hey Jeff!

Jeff Probst: Good to see ya!

Jeff Probst: Finally, the woman who dominated Redemption Island when she also participated in Survivor: Maldives, Kelly is rounding out our three returning players this season.

The camera focuses onto Debbie as she excitedly claps. Kelly takes the final walk up the beach and joins Paige and Nick, standing beside Jeff and in front of the brand new castaways.

Paige, Nick, and Kelly all stand before the group of fifteen new players with smiles, trying to exude confidence while truly internally freaking out as the new players stare back at them.

Jeff Probst: Alright, it's time to pick our tribes.

Jeff looks down the line of returning players as he pulls a bag out of the back pocket of his khaki shorts. He pulls out three buffs, handing Kelly blue, Paige charcoal, and Nick green. The camera focuses onto Debbie, a self proclaimed survivor super fan, as she excitedly waits to find out her fate.

Jeff Probst: (Looking at the returning players) The three of you will rotate in a school yard pick to decide which castaways you want to join you on your tribes to fight for a second chance at the title of sole survivor. It's up to you to make the right decision as to who you choose, because that person you pick might just be the one to vote you out.

The camera cuts to a devious looking Julie.

Jeff Probst: The order in which you get to pick was already randomly chosen and Paige it's you who gets first pick.

Paige takes a breath, then nervously releases her exhale.

Paige (Breathy): (Scanning the group) Okay...

As Paige's eyes look over the eagerly awaiting castaways, she clicks her tongue.

Paige (Debating): I pick... I pick... Hmm, I pick.. Debbie.

Debbie squeals and claps her hands together, cheering in excitement. She mozies across the beach and joins Paige's side, thankfully hugging her.

Jeff then gives Nick the lead to continue and choose.

Nick, who's standing straight up and tapping his fingers on his chin, gives a quick answer.

Nick (Serious): Gimme Tanner.

An arrogant smile is given by Tanner who nods his head in approval. Tanner walks across the sandy beach and greets Nick with a bro-hug.

Jeff Probst: Kelly, it's your turn.

Kelly: (Motioning to Julie) I'll take you, girl in the pink stripes.

Julie begins to walk forward and with a warm and friendly smile reminds Kelly of her name before offering a hug.

A montage begins of the returning players selecting their tribe mates and the chosen person walking over to join them.

Paige: I choose Brandon.

Nick: Finnigan.

Kelly: Emma.

Paige: Kristin.

Nick: Randi.

Kelly: Charlie.

Paige: Raymond.

Nick: Noah.

Kelly: Keira.

The montage comes to an end as the camera settles onto Jeff as he interjects.

Jeff Probst: Okay you each have one pick left, so make it count.

The focus then changes onto the three remaining participants, Leroy, who looks nervous, Clyde, who appears unbothered, and Kathryn, who is on the verge of becoming emotional.

Paige: (Motioning to Kathryn) I pick you, pretty lady on the end.

Kathryn's face lights up with a smile. As she steps forward she releases a sigh of relief and continues on to show her love and appreciation for being finally chosen.

Jeff Probst: Nick, with this decision you not only decide who the last member of your tribe is, by default you're choosing Kelly's last player for her too.

Nick nods along, showing his understanding on his position.

Nick: I'll take the sharp looking gentleman in the purple plaid.

Leroy clenches his fist in victory, very happy to not be the very last person chosen. "Yes!", he hisses. Clyde, the oldest player in the game, can be seen grinning at the decision in the background before walking forward and receiving a more than welcoming group hug from his tribe.

Jeff Probst: And with that we have our three tribes.

Jeff Probst: Nick, Kelly, Paige, catch!

Jeff tosses each returning player a bag full of buffs to pass on to their tribe mates. As Debbie receives hers she can be seen excitedly pulling it down over her head and wearing it around her neck.

Jeff Probst: You'll also be needing these, maps to your new home.

Jeff tosses each tribe their map, wishing them luck and advising to make the most of the first day's sunlight, then sends them on their way. An aerial shot of the three groups walking away from one another is shown before cutting to a commercial break.

Motu
Tropical background music begins to play as multiple shots of the jungle's plant life are shown before the scene cuts to the beach. Randi, Tanner, Nick, Noah, and Leroy make their way up the beach as Finnigan leads the group while holding a wooden post that carriers the Motu's tribe flag.

Upon reaching their intended spot for a campsite, they begin to light up.

Finnigan (Yelling): MOTU!!!!

Hoots and hollers follow in return, Leroy can even be seen jumping up and down clapping.

The castaways begin to set their belongings down, Finnigan leans the flag against a nearby tree. They all continue to look around and gawk, scoping out the area.

Randi: (Wide eyed) This is so neat, huh?

Leroy: (Looking up at the tree tops) This is amazing.

Randi cracks a big smile.

Tanner walks up from behind Nick and places either of his hands on his shoulders and gives him a shake.

Tanner (Friendly): Welcome back, buddy!

The group turns around and gives Nick a round of small applause, which visibly makes Nick look as though he feels foolish, as they all gather into a group to talk and get to know one another. As the conversation continues, mostly multiple smaller conversations within the giant group, the main focus switches to Randi and Leroy.

Leroy: (Subtitles over commotion of everyone talking) What is it that you said you did, Randi?

The camera picks up on Finnigan's eyes begin to watch them as he's obviously eavesdropping on the conversation.

Randi: I'm a model.

Finnigan begins to grin.

Finnigan then interrupts the conversation, extending his arm to shake Randi's hand.

Finnigan (Jokingly): Oh, I'm very familiar with your work. (Smiles) I'm Finnigan.

Randi shakes Finnigan's hand as she bursts out into laughter.

Randi: (Laughing) Oh are you now?

Finnigan smiles.

The camera cuts to Nick as he claps his hands in order to gain everyone's attention, then announces that he doesn't wish to be pushy but that he believes they should listen to Jeff and make use of the daylight. Heads begin to nod as the group agrees with what Nick says.

Tanner: (With a nod) Right!

Motu gets to work putting their new home together. First Tanner is shown using a machete to cut down several small trees to later use for fire wood and shelter construction. Next Nick is shown as he drags the wood from the forest and into the clearing of camp where Finnigan awaits him ready with a saw in his hand. Tanner, Nick, Finnigan, and Noah all then begin to build the shelter while Randi and Leroy are left to put together a decent arrangement around camp to make the outdoors seemingly livable.

Leroy: Men away, the ladies can play (Wink).

Randi scrunches her nose and scoffs.

Randi: (Chuckles) Oh boy...

They then laugh together.

Randi picks up an old dead tree branch from the ground in order to move it away from out of camp. Having been laying on the ground for awhile it had trapped moisture underneath, leaving many critters crawling around on the ground. Leroy sees this and is immediately intrigued, bending over to get a better view. He regrets this decision right away, crumpling up his face and straightening his posture before standing up onto his tippy-toes, clearly feeling as though his skin is crawling.

Leroy: (High pitched) EEEEEEEEHHHHWWW. (Pitch deepens) UUUUUUH,

Randi returns from discarding of the branch with an expression that reads 'you've got to be kidding' written all over her face. Noticing, Leroy jokingly jumps to his own defense right away.

Leroy: (Talking with hands) It was gross, okay?

Leroy shakes off the creepiness from the bugs and walks out of view from the camera.

The scene cuts to Noah, Nick, Tanner, and Finnigan as they all appear hard at work on the shelter.

Nick (Sarcastic/Jokingly): Y'know, I'm just going to throw it out there, I know from person experience that guys alliances work out well.

Finnigan looks up from what he's doing with a smirk.

Finnigan: Oh yeah?

Nick raises a brow and points around to the three other men.

Finnigan: (Raises hand) I mean... if the others guys are down it woooooooould be a good idea.

Noah grins,

Noah: I'll do it.

Tanner: I'm in.

Nick (Sarcastic/Jokingly): Whaaaaa??? I mean, okay, if you guys insist.

The four men smile and nod their heads as they look around.

Raiatea
As the scene transitions a shot is shown of a whale as it breaks the ocean's surface before submerging once again. On land the gentle waves calmly crash against the sandy shoreline as the six castaways of the blue Raiatea tribe make their way up the beach.

Kelly (Cheery): Welcome to paradise!

Keira shouts from the back of the group in reply.

Keira (Loudly): Welcome back!

With a smile Kelly turns her head and looks back to Keira.

As the castaways check out their surroundings the camera switches to show Charlie as he stands next to Keira and eventually leans over to her.

Charlie (Quietly/Curious): So... do you really work at a bong shop?

Keira smirks and lets out a chuckle.

Keira: The store I work at sells smoking equipment. The signs on the walls promote tobacco use (shrugs), if people choose to use it for something else than that's their own choice.

Kelly stands in the middle of camp thinking, tapping her index finger to her mouth repeatedly.

Kelly: (Pointing) What do you guys think, would the shelter be good over there?

Julie: Yeah, I think that's the perfect spot.

As construction begins on their new home Julie does most of the chopping down of trees and dragging the lumber to its desired spot while Emma, Keira, and Kelly all work hard to weave the shelters roof together using giant palm fronds they had found within the islands jungle.

Emma: Is Charlie still down by the ocean collecting snails?

A quick shot is shown of Charlie as he picks sea snails off of a giant rock and throws them into a giant pot.

Kelly: Yeah, but... (Looks over shoulder, then back to Emma) I'm not sure where Clyde is. Did you see where he went off to?

Both Keira and Emma look around and shrug, neither are sure. Just then, Clyde slowly saunters into camp from within the jungle and walks over near the three girls.

Kelly: Hey Clyde, are you busy at the moment?

Clyde, who appears to be off in his own world, snaps out of his own thoughts and looks over to Kelly with wide eyes.

Clyde: No, not at all. Anything I can help you with?

Kelly: Uhh, yeah, maybe you could walk down the the beach and help Charlie collect some snails. Protein's so important out here that two of you could probably get a lot.

Clyde nods along and promises to see what he can do, then disappears down the beach.

Keira looks to Kelly as if wanting answers, then asks Kelly if she believes Clyde was looking for an idol. Kelly laughs it off and states that she doesn't think Clyde is exactly a mastermind of the game and his actions were more than likely innocent.

The scene cuts to the next and Emma is shown wandering through the jungle while carrying a canteen of water in her hand. With a large step over a cut down tree, Emma meets up with Julie, who's covered in sweat and panting, who is hard at work gathering wood.

Emma (Friendly): (Holds out canteen) I brought you this, figured that you could use it.

Julie smiles and thanks Emma for her generosity, then throws back the canteen and takes several huge gulps of water. Emma then begins to gossip to Julie about the situation involving Clyde, venting her frustrations over his apparent laziness.

Emma (Frustrated): I don't know what I'm doing out here either, but I'm still trying my best!

Julie finishes her drink and shakes her head.

Julie (Annoyed): He was the last picked for a tribe for a reason, he's old and unfortunately just utterly useless out here.

Emma: (Sigh) I want him gone (Crosses arms).

Julie: Well, it's an easy first vote for all of us if we lose the immunity challenge.

Tupai
It's a hot and sunny day as the sun pounds down upon the castaways through a virtually cloudless sky. Sea birds can be seen in the distance soaring high. The Tupai tribe rows their boat up to shore, with the camera settling it's attention onto Paige's beaming face.

As the boat scrapes against the sand of the beach Raymond, Brandon, and Paige, who are all in the front of the boat, hop out and drag the boat up on to the shore for safe keeping. Kathryn, Kristin, and Debbie all exit into the sand and everyone greets one another with a bunch of exchanging of hugs and 'hello's'.

The camera then focuses directly on to the conversation being held by Brandon and Kristin, among a sea of everyone else's words.

Kristin: And what is your name?

Brandon (Confidently): Brandon. (Grins)

Kristin: Awh well it's nice to meet you, Brandon.

Kristin gives Brandon a welcoming hug.

Brandon (Friendly): Yeah, you too!

Not long after the castaways make their way up the beach to see where it is that they'll be potentially living for the next thirty-nine days.

Kathryn (Quietly): (Slowly and while looking around) Woooooah.

Kristin looks into her direction with a grin, Kathryn smiles back.

Kathryn: It's so bare.

Kathryn continues to look around, all while watching her step as she's treading through the jungle in her high heels. Once she's out of sight Kristin allows her mouth to drop in astonishment and turns to Brandon, then motions into the direction Kathryn had left.

Kristin (Mouthing): Really?

Brandon laughs it off.

The camera cuts to a while after later and focuses onto Raymond.

Raymond (Curious): (To Paige) So what now?

Paige looks over into Raymond's direction, only to notice the five new players had all just turned to her for what was next.

Paige's eyes look frightfully back to the five faces watching her and waiting for their next instructions.

Paige (Unsure tone): Um, well, (nervous chuckle) we could begin work on the shelter I guess.

Raymond nods his head and voices his reassurance that he agree's that's the best idea for them at the moment.

The camera cuts to show Paige holding a piece of wood in place for Brandon while he hammers it into the structure they work on together for the shelter-to-be. The focus then cuts to a smiling Debbie and Kristin as they build up their kindling to hopefully spark a flame, before the scene finally settles onto Kathryn and Raymond as they walk through the forest together.

Raymond: (Looking back to Kathryn) Are you coming?

Kathryn (Voice, out of view of camera): Yes.

Kathryn makes her way toward Raymond, who had managed to get slightly ahead of his partner however due to his obvious looking annoyance it's obvious that this is not the first time. Heels sinking into the jungle floor, Kathryn remains shaky on her feet but slowly continues on.

Raymond: What if you take those shoes off?

Kathryn: I can't, I could puncture my foot!

It goes unnoticed by Kathryn, but Raymond rolls his eyes. As she gets near, he extends his hand to her.

Raymond: I have an idea, hand me your shoe for a second.

Kathryn scrunches her face in confusion.

Kathryn (Confused): What do you want my heels for?

Raymond: I can just snap the heels off of those shoes for you to make them more livable for you on the island.

Kathryn's eyes light up in surprise.

Kathryn (Shocked): Oh no you most certainly will not! I'm sorry Raymond, but you really have no idea how much I paid for these shoes.

Raymond stares back at Kathryn blankly, all he can think to do is silently bink.

Raymond: I honestly cannot tell if you're joking or being serious right now.

Kathryn: I assure you I'm not joking. I'm sorry, but I cannot let you do that.

Motu
Clouds have rolled in throughout the night leaving the second day of the game seeming grey and dreary. The camera shows us a shot of the extinguished fire, mostly flooded ash, while the cooking pot sits in the background, having been filled by some rain water. Randi, who's bundled all up in the green hoodie, sits up straight and yawns before looking around as if she's in a daze.

Randi: Mornin' guys.

Noah, Leroy, Nick, Tanner, and Finnigan all remain still but awake, just too tired to get out of bed.

As Finnigan wipes something away from his eye, he speaks up.

Finnigan (Exhausted): That... was terrible.

Tanner smacks a fly away from his face.

A stiff Randi stands up and gets out of the shelter for the first time of the day and has a nice long stretch before turning back around to face the boys.

Randi: Do any of you want to come with me to collect some water?

Finnigan: (Raising hand) I will.

Randi and Finnigan walk side by side together down the jungle pathway to the water well. Although it was Randi's idea to go, Finnigan carries the soon to be filled pot.

Finnigan: So what do you think of everyone and everything so far?

Randi: Oh gosh, it has been the most crazy 24 hours of my entire life.

A moment of silence falls between the two before Randi continues on.

Randi: ...Have you heard any whispers about who might be the first to go if we ever had to make that decision?

Finnigan: (Shrugs) Eh, I've heard a few names, but it's a game and that's bound to happen. What about you?

Randi: That's the thing, I haven't. That's why I'm a little worried...

Finnigan: Oh god, don't be silly! You have nothing to worry about.

Randi shrugs, but says nothing.

Finnigan: I got your back, (Smiles) I wouldn't let them do anything to you.

Randi smiles and promises Finnigan that it's a mutual feeling.

Randi (Quietly): So what are people thinking then?

A serious look takes ahold of Finnigan's face as he looks over to Randi.

Finnigan: It probably wouldn't be good news for Leroy.

Randi exhales and looks to the ground, disappointed by this news.

Finnigan: (Places hand onto Randi's shoulder) I know he's your friend, but this game is only just starting and it's going to get a lot harder. Just be happy you would make it to the next vote because that's how you play this game.

Back at camp Nick is hard at work on the fire, although due to everything being wet from the storm it's proving to be hard to be successful. Behind him dances around Leroy while chanting.

Leroy (Sing-Songy): (Dancing while clapping) Cold, I'm cold, I'm dancing 'cause I'm cold. Move your feet, to the beat, to feel the heat, we're dancing 'cause we're cold!

The camera shifts back to show Nick as he looks very annoyed, however Leroy fails to see this as Nick's back is turned to him.

Noah and Tanner, who are still in bed, also share an exchange of glances as their way to express their internalized frustration.

Raiatea
The scene picks up with a shot of Clyde sitting in front of a small, struggling fire. The weather at the Raiatea camp remains similar to that of Motu. Charlie stiffly walks into view of the camera and with a groan sits down next to Clyde.

Clyde: How'd you sleep?

Charlie: I didn't.

Clyde: Neither did I.

Charlie glares over into Clyde's direction.

Charlie: So what do you have going on in your head?

Clyde looks over to Charlie, but has no time to reply before Charlie continues with his thought.

Charlie (Whispering): (Leans in closer to Clyde) You and I both know those girls are going to try and vote out the two older men first with the excuse that we're liabilities, right?

Clyde: (Nods head) That is my fear, yes.

Charlie (Whispering): I don't want that to be my fate, so I say we should have each others backs. If we're smart, we could pull Kelly in with us and preach about an unsuspected group of elder players coming together.

Charlie (Whispering): I think right now our best option is to try and single someone out, avoid letting someone form connections with the tribe so we can easily come together and vote them out.

Clyde nods along.

Charlie (Whispering): I think that it's Keira who's the most different from anyone here, it'll already be tough for her to bond with people. From now on lets not let her talk to people alone, only in a group setting. If you see her having a one on one with someone, interrupt it. Don't let anyone grow attached and it could spare us some time.

Clyde (Quietly): (Nodding) I'm in.

As the scene changes a shot is shown of a school of fish erratically swimming around in the ocean before the camera cuts to the beach. Emma and Keira wade in the ocean water in a depth that goes to their bellybuttons, using sand to scrub their faces clean.

Keira (Whispering): (Scrubbing sand onto face) So what have you heard so far?

Emma (Whispering): (Glaring toward the shore) I think everyone just kind of mutually knows that Clyde's the first to go, nothing needs to be said.

Suddenly Charlie appears and begins to stroll out into the water in their direction and the two girls quickly change the subject of conversation to their lives back home. Charlie greets the two with a smile and although his intentions were to not allow Keira time alone with another tribe member, he acts as if he wants to wash his face as well. Emma chuckles, assuring him that it does a good job and is also good for his skin.

Tupai
A transitioning shot is shown of a droplet of water runs down the stem of a leaf before dropping off the drooping edge, falling to the ground. The scene opens up to Paige and Brandon, who both wear hoodies, Brandon with his up, as they hunt for firewood in the jungle. Paige hands wet looking Brandon another log.

Paige (Disappointed): This one's soaked too, (sighs in frustration) we need to make a better effort to keep it dry next time.

Brandon remains silent but looks pissed.

Brandon and Paige continue their hunting, moving forward down the path.

Brandon (Tired): I feel exhausted. (Shaking head) I didn't sleep a wink last night.

Paige rubs her eye.

Paige: Me neither, but I promise every night isn't this hard. Unfortunately the game just happened to start with a night that will likely to prove to be one of the worst out here.

Brandon (Curious): So what are you thinking game wise?

Paige smirks,

Paige: What are you thinking game wise?

Brandon chuckles to himself and tilts his head slightly before grinning.

Brandon: ...Should've seen that one coming. (Chuckles) Well, I was thinking that you and I mesh pretty well.

Paige: (Smiling) I think so too.

Brandon begins to look around cautiously.

Brandon (Softly): You know, I know you were up talking to Kristin pretty late before the storm started and I feel like her and I get along rather well. If the three of us did something together, that's a good chunk of numbers on a tribe of this size.

Paige (Whispering): If we formed an alliance, you'd have to keep it airtight. If anyone in this game found out you aligned with a veteran player you'd be targeted immediately, I don't care how close you are with anyone.

Brandon (Whispering): And you can't let anyone know you have allies, we need you to look the weakest of all the returning players.

The camera cuts to a shot of Brandon, Paige, and Kristin as they huggle into a small circle on the beach underneath a dark and gloomy sky.

Paige (Whispering): (Looking intensely at Kristin) I've got a question for you.

Kristin quickly nods her head.

Paige (Whispering): Would you be on board for an alliance between us three?

Paige motions her finger around the small group. Kristin immediately lights up with a smile.

Kristin (Excited): Absolutely! You two are my favorite people out here.

The camera shows Brandon smiling.

Immunity Challenge
After returning from the commercial break, several shots are shown of an empty beach before the camera settles onto Jeff.

Jeff Probst (Loudly): Come on in guys!

All three tribes file in and stand on their respective mats. After explaining the rules of the game, Jeff leaves the castaways with one final warning.

Jeff Probst: ... but be warned. Losing this challenge comes with more repercussions than just going to tribal council.

Challenge: Share the Wealth

Two tribe members, tethered together, must run inside the jungle to retrieve a chest containing paddles, which would be used at the second part of the challenge. Once retrieved, two other tribe members must ride a boat and use the paddles to reach a buoy with a crate below. The paddlers must unclip the crate and bring it close enough to shore, where all six tribe members would then take the crate to a station where the final two tribe members must open the crate, revealing puzzle pieces. First two pairs to solve the puzzle (a tower with a Filipino hut on top) win immunity for their tribes.

Raiatea
It's a hot and sunny day on the Raiatea tribe beach with a few scattered clouds dancing through the sky and no breeze coming off of the ocean, it's humid. The six castaways carry themselves up the beach and toward their camp holding their heads down low, tired, and covered in sweat. Kelly places their tribe flag against a nearby tree as the tribe members shuffle into the main area of camp silently. Emma is shown taking a seat on a stump near the fire then bowing her head while Julie stands off by herself while resting her hands on her hips. Charlie can be seen leaning against a tree with his arms crossed and looking very unhappy.

Kelly walks into the center of camp and shrugs.

Kelly (Calmly): Well, we did our best guys.

Kelly looks around at her tribe, everyone else quietly looking back to her. She lets out a defeated sigh and walks away.

Kelly walks over to Julie, who's collecting a few of her scattered belongings from inside the shelter, and whispers into her ear.

Kelly (Whispering): It's Clyde tonight, right?

Julie looks over her shoulder to the rest of the tribe, who all remain near but not exceptionally close, then looks into Kelly's eyes and nods her head.

Kelly (Whispering): Okay, good. That's what I thought.

Julie smirks and reassures Kelly that she doesn't have to worry about being voted out at the first tribal council once again. Kelly becomes less tense, thanking Julie for the words she so badly wanted to hear.

A transitioning scene is shown of a crab scampering around in the sand before the camera cuts to Julie and Emma walking with one another down the beach.

Julie: I have this weird intuition that I can trust you. I don't know how to explain it, but I feel like I can.

Emma: Oh yeah, it's totally the same way I feel.

In an attempt to pick Emma's brain, Julie asks about her plans for the upcoming vote. Emma states that she believes everyone to be writing Clyde's name down with the exception of Charlie, who remains a question mark due to a seeming friendship between the two. Julie agrees that it's very possible Charlie and Clyde are playing the game together.

Julie (Anxious): So... can I trust you enough to let you in on a plan?

Emma: Duh!

Julie: I think it's Kelly that needs to go tonight.

Emma's jaw drops, but it turns into a smile as she begins to giggle.

Emma: (Chuckling) You want to scumbag her at the first tribal council again?

Julie grins and nods her head.

Julie: Just let me explain. I don't think this whole three tribe thing will last very long, so the current strength of our tribe doesn't bother me too much. Kelly's way more of a threat to win this game than what Clyde is, so why would we keep Kelly here just to help her get one step closer to being able to align with the other veteran players?

Emma, who's biting the side of her cheek as she listens, admits that Julie has a point. Julie tells that she's willing to bet money on the fact the tribes will be divided into two within two or three votes and it would be silly to put effort into keeping strong players around at this point in time.

Suddenly the camera cuts to show Emma and Julie approaching Charlie and Clyde somewhere in the jungle.

Julie: Hey boys, we got a question for you.

Charlie (Intrigued): Oh yeah, what is it?

Emma and Julie look to one another with a smile. Julie plays it off as though she's nervous while looking back to Emma, so Emma decides to confidently take the lead.

Emma explains to Charlie and Clyde their plan to blindside Kelly while Julie quietly listens, not even interjecting to mention the few points that Emma had forgotten to make. Charlie nods, seeming impressed.

Charlie: (Looking to Clyde) That does sound like quiet the plan. (Shifts glance back to Emma and Julie) We'd be stupid not to take it, it saves our own butts.

Julie and Emma look to one another with smiles.

Charlie: However you need to swear that this is a solid group of four and not just a one vote deal. If we lose again, lets come together to get rid of Keira.

Emma: Deal. (Looks to Julie)

Julie: (Grinning) Deal.

Charlie: Okay, it's done, Kelly goes tonight.

Kelly sits in the opening of the shelter beside her packed bag of belongings, tying her hair into a ponytail. Charlie walks over and and slightly leans against the side of the shelter, asking Kelly to spare a moment of her time.

Kelly: Yeah of course, what's up?

Charlie (Quietly): Are you set on sending Clyde home tonight?

Kelly exhales loudly from her nostrils.

Kelly (Sympathetic): I know he's your friend, but it's what's best from the tribe.

Charlie (Whispering): I might have something to tell you that might change all of that.

Charlie explains the story of what just happened in the jungle with Emma and Julie, causing Kelly's face to drop. Immediately she feels rage that someone would try and blindside her from the game at the first tribal council once again, especially after swearing safety to her.

Kelly (Surprised): She said that? Did she really?

Charlie nods.

Kelly: (Scoffs) She promised me safety, she went out of her way to give me words of reassurance. That's low.

Charlie: (Shrugs) In all fairness, it was Emma who lead the charge to get you to go home.

Kelly (Angry): So you think Emma's the one behind this?

Charlie: (Nodding) I think Emma's the one who's really taking charge in this situation.

Kelly sucks her teeth while nodding her head.

Kelly (Angry): Alright.

The scene switches as the background music begins to intensify. One by one the castaways of the blue Raiatea tribe are shown walking passed the camera in a single file line, each carrying their bag of belongings with them. They're on their way to the first tribal council of the season where one of them unfortunately wont be coming back from.

Tribal Council
The six members of the Raiatea tribe walk into tribal council in a straight, single file line.

Jeff Probst: Behind each of you is a torch, approach the flame and get fire. In this game fire represents your life, once your fire's gone so are you.

Kelly, Emma, Charlie, Julie, Keira, and Clyde all light their torches and take their seats, awaiting questioning. Jeff starts the night out by welcoming everyone to the place they no doubt wish to not be. Kelly is asked the first question about what it's like to be back and her experience thus far as a returning player. Kelly keeps it political, stating she obviously had worries but that everyone had done a good job at making her feel welcomed so far. The attention turns to Keira, who is asked about camp life. Keira tells Jeff has it has been hard so far but that everyone has remained in high spirits. "What about social circles?", Jeff asks, to which Keira confirms it's clear some people are growing closer than others but doesn't say anything more.

Julie is questioned about the vote, to which she reveals that she thinks most people are on the same page as to who needs to go. Emma continues on Julie's tangent, adding that she thinks people need to be thinking more strategically when it comes to what they've got to do. Kelly glares over into Emma's direction, knowing that Emma was insinuating that it would be a good move to take out a returning player.

It is then time to vote. Kelly is the first person to be sent up to the voting urn.

Kelly is shown walking up to the private voting booth and taking the top off of the marker before the scene transitions into a montage that shows Clyde, Keira, Emma, and Charlie walking their way over to cast their vote before the camera finally finishes on Julie.

The camera follows Julie back as she sits back down with the rest of her tribe.

Jeff Probst: I'll go tally the votes.

Jeff walks away momentarily before reappearing.

Jeff Probst: Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted out will be asked to leave the tribal council area immediately, I'll read the votes.

Jeff takes the cover off of the voting urn, and pulls out the first paper ballot.

Jeff Probst: First vote

Kelly can be seen taking a deep breath.

Jeff Probst: Emma

Emma glares down the group in Kelly's direction.

Kelly releases a slow breath as Julie and Emma share a look to one another.

Jeff Probst: ''Emma. We're tied, two votes Emma, two votes Kelly.''

Emma scrunches her brow, a little surprised to see her name appear once

Jeff Probst: Emma

Emma's jaw begins to drop as the camera focuses onto Julie while she whispers 'well played'.

Jeff Probst: First person boted out of Survivor Bora Bora... Emma. I need you to bring me your torch.

Julie mouths 'wow' as Emma gives a half grin before standing. Kelly is shown giving Charlie a wink as Emma walks around the group and grabs her torch from behind before walking it over to Jeff and places it in front of him.

Jeff Probst: Emma, the tribe has spoken.

Emma nods her head as Jeff extinguishes her flame. Emma abruptly takes off passed Jeff, quickly disappearing out of sight.
