Slay Everyone, Trust No One is the season premiere of .
==Story==
===Day 1===
Host Jeff Probst introduces the South Pacific, the place where the twenty returning castaways will compete. Four helicopters, each containing five contestants, arrive to drop off ten heroes and ten villains. On the helicopter ride, several confessionals are played introducing some of the players of the season.
The Heroes tribe consists of Colby Donaldson, Rupert Boneham, J.T. Thomas, James Clement, Tom Westman, Sugar Kiper, Cirie Fields, Stephenie LaGrossa, Amanda Kimmel, and Candice Woodcock.
The Villains tribe consists of Russell Hantz, Rob Mariano, Coach Wade, Randy Bailey, Tyson Apostol, Sandra Diaz-Twine, Jerri Manthey, Parvati Shallow, Danielle DiLorenzo, and Courtney Yates.
After discussing with Jeff about being heroes and being villains, they go to the first challenge of the season. The Villains fight hard, as Rupert's toe gets broken and Stephenie's shoulder is dislocated, in addition to Sugar's top being ripped off. One surprise upset that does happen during the challenge is Coach out-muscling the challenge beast from seasons past, Colby, and dragging him over to the Villains mat to score a point in the challenge.
Despite the injuries, the Heroes narrowly prevail 3-2 and win the first challenge of the season.
The Villains arrive at their camp invigorated to start the game despite the loss and begin setting up a shelter. Russell immediately starts to play the game quickly, going off to forming alliances individually with both Danielle and Parvati, promising to take them to the finals. Parvati is skeptical of Russell but aligns with him anyway, since people are already suspicious of her.
The Heroes arrive at camp and joke about winning the challenge and the injuries that went along with it and they get to work on building a shelter near the beach.
While gathering supplies to construct the shelter, Tom spots some chickens near the camp and the tribe works together to successfully capture all of them in a net, raising the morale for the Heroes even higher.
That night at the Villains camp, the Villains bond together on the beach under the stars. Tyson jokes about being happy that the Heroes sustained so many injuries in the challenge. The rest of the tribe talks about Coach's upset victory over Colby since everyone expected Coach would lose. The extent that everyone else is talking about it makes Coach a little uncomfortable because he felt he was going to defeat Colby the whole time. Later, as most of the Villains go up to the shelter to sleep, Coach and Jerri remain at the beach and bond together, while Randy stays and laughs more about Colby.
===Day 2===
The following morning, after seeing Coach and Jerri cuddling together the previous night, the rest of the Villains tribe jokes to Jerri and Coach about their relationship. Russell and Parvati joke to Coach about finding true love out on Survivor with Jerri, while Courtney and Sandra joke about trying to set Jerri up with Coach.
Later that same morning, Jerri and Coach talk with each other regarding the fallout of the previous night and agree to be lower key with their friendship so they won't be targeted. But both agree to watch out for each other's backs in the game.
That morning in the Heroes camp, J.T. starts to work making alliances with everyone he can, starting with James. Talking out in the jungle, James and J.T. agree that the strong guys should be together and prevent a girl's alliance from running the game, like what happened to James in . J.T. promises to bring James to the final two, but both men are confident the Heroes tribe is strong and won't be losing many challenges anyway.
Out in the jungle with Candice, Colby sees what's happening with some of the early alliances and tells Candice to watch out for James and J.T. Candice points out additional pairs in James and Amanda, Tom and Stephenie, and Cirie and Amanda who all played on seasons with each other.
Amanda and Cirie walk together in the jungle and talk about how they are going to play the game this time around and whether or not their game plan includes the other. Both women agree to play different games than their first time together and to see what happens as far as making an alliance with each other.
Stephenie and Tom talk to each other about being glad that they get to play the game again together and be on the same tribe. They talk about who they want to get into an alliance with, and Tom mentions Colby and J.T. Tom remarks in a confessional that he wouldn't bring Stephenie to the end, as he wants to be sitting next to another winner of the million dollars. To that end, Tom talks to J.T., also a former winner, and they shake on a final two deal.
Over at the Villains camp, Rob complains about his tribe's lack of work ethic. Jerri tells him it's because everyone is tired and that they don't have any water, so Rob plans to start a fire and fashions together some bamboo poles to get one going. Randy tries to tell Rob to blow it off to avoid getting tired, feeling that he will not be able to make fire. Rob decides to go ahead with it anyway, and successfully leads the tribe into starting the fire.
The Villains tribe celebrates Rob's successful fire making, which leaves many of the Villains in awe of Rob and his leadership abilities. Coach, in particular, is fond of Rob's 'warrior-like' qualities and forms a bond with him. Russell, however, is not so impressed with the emerging leader of the tribe.
In contrast, on the Heroes, Rupert's broken toe hampers his ability to go out in the ocean to provide for his tribe, so he tries to start a fire instead with the flint the Heroes won at the first challenge. Things don't go as well as he plans and all Rupert manages to do is shave half the magnesium off with nothing to show for it. Rupert walks off in frustration, and in his absence, J.T. and Stephenie successfully start the fire without him.
At the Villains tribe, Rob and Tyson decide to climb a precariously high tree near the beach to get the palm fronds at the top, but ultimately decide that it's too high and enlist Coach to try and do it for them.
Rob and Sandra look on as Coach attempts to climb the tree and the two bet on whether or not he will make it. Rob bets that Coach will make it, while Sandra bets against him, and both laugh about whether or not he will fall. Coach eventually decides to come down without getting all the way to the top feeling it's not worth the risk.
That night at the Heroes camp, Sugar struggles to hang on mentally in the game and decides to try to flirt with some of the men, but it doesn't go as well as she hopes as Colby and her other tribemates are tired and just want to sleep.
===Day 3===
The Heroes decide to eat one of the chickens they caught on Day 1 so they can have a good meal before the Immunity Challenge, so J.T. goes over and snaps one's neck with his bare hands, to the surprise and amusement of his tribemates.
The Heroes are confident they can stay positive, be able to win the challenge, defeat the Villains and send them to Tribal Council. The Villains, on the other hand, are also confident they can beat the Heroes and turn things around. The Villains believe they will not only be able to beat the Heroes physically in the challenge, but that a Villain victory will beat the Heroes mentally too since they think the Heroes are so overconfident.
At the challenge, the Heroes open up an early lead during the physical rowing part of the challenge, but struggle with the puzzle, allowing the Villains on the puzzle led by Rob and Sandra to come from behind and win for the Villains tribe. Back at the Villains camp, the Villains celebrate their victory knowing that they have beat the Heroes and strengthened their own tribe at the same time. They spend the rest of the day enjoying themselves and having fun.
The Heroes return to camp upset at losing the challenge, feeling that they might have had too much hubris going into the competition. The tribe is clearly demoralized by their loss at the hands of Villains.
Sugar is disappointed due to her own role in the struggling puzzle section of the challenge. She goes and talks with J.T., Cirie, and Rupert about voting for Amanda and the three of them agree with Sugar until she goes away. Afterwards, practically everyone decides that Sugar should be the one to go.
Gathering some branches, Tom voices his opinion to Colby that they should get rid of Cirie due to her strategic threat and ability to manipulate the game instead of Sugar, who Tom perceives is just a follower in the game. Talking to J.T. later, J.T. agrees that Cirie is a serious threat, but won't say if he will vote that way or not.
Cirie, Amanda, and Candice meet in the jungle and talk about who they would like to vote out, they agree that the pair of Tom and Stephenie is a threat and that one of them should go home soon. Cirie keeps working on Amanda and lobbies to get Stephenie voted out right away, but Amanda is hesitant to do it so soon.
The Heroes arrive at Tribal Council for the first time and light their torches. The tribe talks about the impact of past relationships on seasons past carrying over into this season. For the most part, the tribe agrees that past relationships only will have a small effect on the game. The poor performance of the puzzle section of the challenge is talked about factoring into the vote, but Amanda says that challenge performance is only one factor to consider out of many in a potential vote. The Heroes go to vote and send Sugar home in a unanimous 9-1 decision due to her mental instability and poor challenge performance. Before getting her torch snuffed, Sugar tells the nine remaining Heroes that one of them needs to win the game.
