Well, This Sucks

# Summary

## Season Opening

8 players wearing white ride in on a boat and help each other walk onto the island. They walk onto a white mat and watch a helicopter land and 8 players wearing red walk onto a red mat. Everyone sizes up their own team and the other team. The red team is called Kyoto and the white team is called Ashikaga.

## Kyoto

Everyone walks into camp and introduces themselves. Bailey is very happy to be on Survivor and have the chance to meet everybody. Everyone starts working on the shelter and Katelyn immediately pulls in all the girls while they’re weaving palm fronds. She tells them they should form a girls alliance and they all agree. Gale talks about how great it is that they have an alliance and in a confessional Katelyn says Gale is a very positive person which will get old fast.

The guys are all in the woods getting firewood and bamboo and Arlie says that the four of them should work together to vote out the girls. Bailey and Jerry excitedly agree and Zachary says he likes the idea. In a confessional Arlie says it’s important to start an alliance early on since those Day 1 alliances last until the end.

## Ashikaga

Everyone gets to camp and Rider suggests that everybody introduces themselves. Scarlett immediately leaves instead and walks into the woods. Jacob notices and in a confessional says he thinks Scarlett is looking for the idol. He tells the tribe Scarlett is already off in the woods and everyone laughs. Everyone starts working on the shelter and Rider slips off into the woods. He finds Scarlett and Scarlett admits she was looking for the idol. Rider warns her about Jacob and they form an alliance to counter him. They talk to Brett and he agrees.

Jacob goes up to Trixie and talk about if Scarlett found the idol. Both doubt it but know Scarlett can’t stay long since she’s already paranoid. They pull in Rider and Brett and form a 4 person alliance against Scarlett. Rider and Brett talk privately and know they’re the swing votes. Brett says he likes Grace and wants to work with her and Rider says Brooke is bonding well with him so she could work with them.

## Challenge

All 16 walk into the challenge area and see a large platform in the ocean with a red and white foam mallet. Jeff explains one from each tribe faces off and you need to knock the other in the water. First to 3 wins.

Bailey and Brett face off. Brett hits Bailey across the head and Bailey falls over but stays on the platform. Brett hts his back and Bailey hits Bretts legs making him collapse. Bailey pushes Brett into the water. 1-0

Grace and Katelyn face off. They both circle around the arena before Katelyn strikes. Grace squats down and Katelyn trips over her and falls into the water, 1-1

Jerry and Rider face off. They have an even fight for a while until Rider falls down. Jerry starts pushing him slowly to the edge and into the water. 2-1

Roisin and Scarlett face off. Both try to hit the others legs but the mallets hit each other. Scarlett goes for the legs again and Roisin hits Scarlett in the face and she falls to the ground. Roisn slowly tries pushing Scarlett off. Scarlett is doing her best to stay on but Roisin pushes her off. 3-1

Kyoto wins immunity while Ashikaga will go to tribal council.

## Ashikaga

Everyone gets back to camp and are disappointed in the result. Jacob immediately pulls in Trixie, Rider and Brett to talk game. Jacob still wants Scarlett out and they all agree and Rider says he can talk to Brooke and Brett says he can talk to Grace.

The four meet up and Rider explains the situation. Brett says he’s leaning towards going with Jacob bc Scarlett is paranoid. Rider says working with just Scarlett is safer than Jacob and Trixie and Brooke agrees. Brooke also says Jacob is really annoying and more paranoid than he lets on and Rider fully agrees. Scarlett walks up and asks whats going on and Brett says they’re voting Jacob. Scarlett is happy and leaves and Brooke asks if that was a lie. Brett says they’ll figure it out.

## Tribal Council

Everyone walks in and lights their torches. Jeff asks how the first days were and Brooke says people got paranoid and looks at Jacob and Scarlett. Jeff asks Jacob what she means and he says he doesn’t know because he isn’t paranoid, but Scarlett is. Scarlett denies this and Brett says she looked for the idol and she rolls her eyes.

Everyone votes and Jeff starts reading them.
