## Story

### Day 1

Host MistaUnicorn is standing on an isolated sand bar in the middle of the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Hawaii. Approaching the sand bar are two boats, each containing nine new castaways.

As the boats pull up to the sand bar, the castaways hop off and make their way to the two mats—one blue and one red—in front of Mista.

Mista officially welcomes the cast to *Survivor: Bloodshed*. The eighteen castaways cheer. He continues by describing how the game will work: the two tribes will compete against each other in challenges. The losing tribe will be sent to the Tribal Council and be forced to vote off one of their own. At a predetermined point, the tribes will merge and the game turns individual. Castaways will compete individually for immunity. When there are three castaways remaining, they will face a jury of nine castaways that they had a hand in eliminating. This jury will cast their individual votes for a winner. The finalist that receives the most jury votes will be deemed the Sole Survivor. He finishes off by clarifying that the game will have many twists, turns, and bumps that will force each castaway to adapt and learn.

Mista tells the castaways to look around at the others. He states that the other seventeen people around them have the same goal that they do. Regardless of that, over the course of the next month, some will become friends and some will become enemies. He asks BBR to comment on the players around him. BBR responds by saying that they look like tough competition and that he hopes they go easy on him. Everyone laughs. Kiwi adds on by saying that at the end of the day, this is just a game and she doesn't expect people to behave the same way they would back at home. Mista asks Brandon to assess the people next to him. He says that he's happy to see the strength on his side and he's ready to win some challenges.

Mista interrupts Brandon, saying that he found it funny that Brandon said "his side", prefacing that he never said these were the official tribes. He reveals a large bag that contains a parchment with every players' name on it. Mista begins to draw the parchments out of the bag which determines which tribe the castaways will be on.

The tribes were randomized as follows, in order:

Polu: Quil, Justin, Brandon, Mysti, Dango, Kitty, Jordan, Red, Kiwi

Ula Ula: Ravin, Stone, BBR, Merc, Slowth, Mes, Mcd, Hundred, Katy

Mista finishes off by saying: "Congratulations! The eighteen of you begin your adventure right now. Only one of you will come out victorious and be named the Sole Survivor of Survivor: Bloodshed. Do what it takes to outwit, outplay, and outlast the others. Head to your camps; I'll see you at your first immunity challenge."

As the castaways hop in their boats and head to their camps, Katy comments about the drawing of names to determine tribes.

At the Ula Ula camp, the castaways begin gathering supplies to build a shelter as well as attempt to make fire. While working on the fire, Stone attempts to create a friendly atmosphere by betting on who from the Polu tribe would get in arguments first.

Stone bets that the first fight will be between Jordan and Justin, while Katy claims it will be Dango and Quil.
