Introduction
(Slow suspenseful tribal music plays as we are gifted the views of clouds clearing over the towering tepuis of Canaima National Park.)

Carly Host (voiceover): Venezuela, a beautiful vast and varied land, none more so than Canaima, an elevated isolated area, home to the world's tallest waterfall, Angel Falls and a wide range of wildlife.

(an aerial view of Angel Falls is shown before the scene transitions to a mother jaguar cleaning her young)

Carly (voiceover): Here is where twenty-four everyday Australians will come to compete in the world's greatest game, Survivor!

(the scene transitions sharply to a small, rundown tin minibus speeding along a dirt road, the cloud of red dust following it gives an ominous aura.)

Carly (voiceover): For the next fifty-five days, they will live together in tribes. Together they will adapt to primitive living, battling the elements, the other tribes and an everchanging game.

(We get shots inside the bus for the first time during Carly's voice over, most people are sitting in twos, Kai and Jason are both staring straight ahead, Nina and Colin are smiling looking out the same window, Josey and Mika are smiling happily at each other, then the scene transitions to Mark, sitting alone, sprawled across the seat with a serious look on his face.)

Carly (voiceover): Though they are not yet permitted to speak to each other, first impressions are already forming.

''(Anna, the season's tallest contestant (6'1") sizes up Leo, the seasons shortest contestant (5'1") before shaking her head. David looks across the aisle at the two mothers, Anita and Violet and smirks to himself.)

''(a brief shot of Mika and Josey smiling and giggling is shown, before panning past Elsie and Jason, not speaking and Celine, sitting up the back of the bus alone, hands folded watching everyone.)

Carly (voiceover): They must learn to adapt or they will be voted out. This will continue until only one remains.

(Paul and Taki sitting together, Sean looking across at Rowina and Joyce sitting up the front, alone staring out the window is shown. The camera finally shows Carly standing at the red dirt crossroads, the dust cloud in the distance behind her.)

Carly: Fifty-five days, twenty-four people, one survivor!
