Rough With a Captial Ugh

***Rough With a Captial Ugh*** is the premiere episode of *Survivor: Redemption Islands*.

Welcome to Survivor: Redemption Islands, the fifth Survivor season in The Retirement Home ORG series. We have explored the past and uncovered secrets of the dinos, we have traveled to distant planets to endure the difficulties of space, we have tried to survive mysteries, bandits, and outlaws, we have ventured into the magical and mystical kingdom of crystals, and now it is time to fight in the open sea like pirates. Let’s take a look at our cast.

The game will be 39 days of challenges, councils, twists, advantages, and social dynamics. Social relationships will be more important than ever as we announce the first twist of the season.

## Parrots of a Flock

Those of you keep track may have noticed that of the 16 castaways announced tonight, there are four of you scallywags from each of our previous season. And you know what they say, parrots of a flock squawk together. Not only will you be fighting for redemption, but you’ll be doing alongside your fellow castmates from your own season.

For the foreseeable future these are your teams. Should you run into trouble on the high seas and reduced down to two members, the remaining team members will be absorbed into an existing team. That details of that will be revealed if this occurs. But, it would be in your best interest to stick with the devils you know, rather than the devils you don’t.

***Loot Galore!*** - Welcome to your first Immunity & Reward Challenge of the season! Make sure to take some time to reacquaint yourselves with your teammates! But also make sure to check their pockets because in this challenge you will be playing **Loot Galore**!

Each player has been given some loot that you can use to survive in this game. You are welcome to keep all the loot you have been given but it may come at a price. Each loot item comes with a price and if you give up the item you will earn those points for your team.

The teams with the most points at the end of the challenge will win Immunity, and only the top team will win Reward. The team or teams with the fewest points will go to Pirate Council and vote out the first player in the game. Whether you win or lose, you will be able to hold on to the items you have decided to keep.

In the results post for this challenge, we will only reveal each team’s total points, not individual points. Below is each players’ cargo.
