## Story

### Day 1

Over the waters of the Gambier Islands, a French Polynesia archipelage, a fishing boat full of supplies, such as chicken, fruit, bamboo, is about to send twenty eight strangers to the adventure of a lifetime. The castaways are yet to be divided into tribes.

Castaways see a second boat, which is driven by host Jeff Probst. After greating everyone, he asked them their names. He pointed to them that they were not divided into the tribes yet and they will pick their tribes themselves what made all of them excited and scared at the same time.

Jeff told everyone to pick one rock from the bag and don't look at it. He revealed that three castaways that would pick a colored rocks would become a tribe captains. Captains will chose first as to who would join their tribe, with the person they selected choosing the next, alternating the genders all the time.

Probst told them to reveal the rocks and at the same time, reveal who will be the tribe captains. Parker picked a blue rock, Sandra picked yellow and Kira picked pink. Jeff revealed that the tribes are called Akamaru, Kamaka and Taravai. He also stated that they will start alphabeticaly, therefore Parker would choose first, then Sandra, and then Kira.

Parker picked Kara first and he said that he felt a very good vibe from her. Sandra chose Jacob, because she thought he's hot.

Kira chose Cameron for the Taravai tribe. After that, Kara picked Simon to join her and Parker, Jacob chose Maggie for Kamaka and Cameron decided to pick Maya.

Simon picked Katie, Maggie chose Paul and Maya decided to bring Conor into their tribe. After that Katie made a choice to pick Mike, who was one on the older people on a season. Paul chose Sylvia, calling her positive person and after that, Conor picked Sally.

Mike chose Martha, Matt was choosen by Sylvia for the Kamaka tribe and Sally decided to bring Shane in. Martha decided to pick Patrick and Matt chose Marissa. When she walked to join her tribe, she stumbled and fell.

Shane picked Carol for Taravai, Patrick chose Madeline and Marissa decided to pick Cory. After that Peter was choosen by Carol and then Madeline had to make a decission between two remaining guys, Matthew and Preston. She picked Matthew.

Cory was supposed to make a choice between two remaining women, Angie and Nadya. He picked Angie for Kamaka, leaving Nadya behind. Nadya was automaticaly assigned into the Taravai tribe and the last woman. Preston became the last man and also the last person without the tribe. Probst asked him what he thinks is gonna happen to him. Preston thought that he will choose his tribe himself, but Jeff told him that he will be sent to the Exile Island. He would stay there until the tribe that loses the next Immunity Challenge already finishes the task of voting out one of their own. After the vote, he will join that tribe. Jeff pointed that it's gonna be a free Immunity, but also he will miss 3 days he could bond with other castaways. Preston was picked by the boat and left to Exile Island.

Jeff says on the boat are supplies to make their life at camp easier. The castaways are told they each have just a few minutes to grab everything they can from the ship before leaping over to their raft. From fruits to chickens to firewood, the castaways waste no time collecting as much supplies within the very tight time limit. There is another boat 100 yards away with a bag of rice. The person that gets that will win for their tribe. They have to decide when to stop grabbing goods from the first boat and race to the second.

The two minutes lapses, prompting the castaways to lower their rafts and jump overboard. Over the commotion, Kamaka releases their raft, but accidentally drops their items. Marissa realizes that Matt, who had a bad fall from the boat to the raft, is in pain because of his knee, and asks him if his leg is okay. Matt replies that he is fine, though he tries to hide the pain from his tribemates.

When all three tribes are already in the water heading for the rice, Sally starts swimming for the other boat and Simon jumps in to try and catch up. Jacob Koherr outdoes them and grabs the rice for Kamaka.
