### Day 1

Twenty strangers, aboard two boats, arrive at a beach where they were welcomed by host Jeff Probst. The 20 castaways will be divided into two tribes based on their generation: The Siga tribe consisted of the Millennials.

...while the Vula tribe consisted of Gen X.

The host then gives out buffs wrapped up with their tribe names written on them. In a twist, Jeff reveals that the castaways will be divided into two tribes based on generation: The Siga tribe, composed of Millennials with members aging from 18-31, and the Vula tribe, composed of Gen X'ers with members aging from 33-52. Jeff asks which of the Millennials is the youngest, and **Raina** steps up, saying she is not studying, because she's a professional gamer and this is how she makes money. Jeff then asks the oldest of the Gen X to introduce himself, after which **Nevaeh** raises his hand.

Jeff puts the tribes to their first test: scattered around the beach are supplies they can start with. They will have to gather as many supplies as they can in two minutes. Also at the beach are stations per tribe, where they will have to choose between two items (one station has a hammer and pots and pans, the other has fishing gear and a coop full of chickens). On Jeff's go, the castaways are off to collect supplies. During the commotion, **Lyla** from Millenials finds the secret envelope and tucks it in her back pocket. While both tribes take the pots and pans over the hammer, the Millennials take the chickens and Gen X'ers take fishing gear. After all, Jeff gives both tribes maps to their camps.

The Millennials arrive at their camp and start to get to know each other.

They start to build a shelter and think about their decision with picking chickens over fishing gear. Seamus tells everybody they have to wait untill they will lay eggs. Lyla goes to hide among the trees to read the secret note that she has found. It reads: "Congratulations, you have found the Legacy Advantage. If you are in possession of this note on Day 36, you will receive an advantage in the game. If you are voted out, you must will it to another player." As she finishes reading the note, Lyla jumps with excitement and then returns to the camp.

At the Gen X tribe, Howard and Eli suggest working over camp right now, because it's seems like it's going to rain soon. They all started to collect items and build the shelter.

Adrian started to work really hard around camp. Sylvie and Jurnee talk how happy they are that they have strong people in this tribe. Jurnee mentionts they have stronger men than Millenials.

### Day 2

Back at the Millenials camp, the castaways talk about the heavy rain that happened last night. Anahi and Bailey talk about their private lifes while Brandon is working around camp that's not finished. The tribe really appreciate Brandon's effort. Lyla wants to help Brandon, because nobody's helping him as some people are sleeping and some of them are exhausted because of last night's rain. Lyla and Brandon joke around and talk about gameplay. Lyla tells Brandon he can count on her and Brandon is happy about Lyla working with him.

At the same time, Harleigh, Anahi, Seamus and Warren are talking about sticking and voting together. Warren says they will need two more people to work with so they will have majority. Harleigh says they have to watch the situation around camp. Seamus is talking about voting the weakest link first so people will not consider there's any alliance going on. They all agree and Harleigh mentions they have to see who will fail at the challenge.

At the Gen X camp, everybody bonds and talk with each other as the shelter is finished. Dorothy and Sylvie talk about their jobs. Adrian is talking with Jurnee about their families that they miss and Eli is going fishing. Later on, Adrian and Arlo talk watching the sunset. Arlo tells Adrian about being an addict. Adrian hugs Arlo and tells him he appreciates saying his vulnerability. Also, Adrian tells him he has his back.

### Day 3

After Millenials losing their first challenge, they got back to their camp. Seamus already goes into the woods with Warren. Bailey doesn't like what's going on in the tribe.

Bailey talks with Anahi, as they were spending some time together since Day 1. Anahi tells Bailey she thinks the best option is to vote out the weakest link. Bailey asks Anahi who she thinks it's going to be. Anahi says it's Ben.

After Anahi's conversation with Bailey, she talks with her alliance to discuss the vote. Anahi tells them about Bailey asking her how to vote. Seamus is happy because he thinks Bailey may join them after this vote. Anahi says she told her about voting out Ben. They think it's great, because nobody is close with Ben, so he will be an easy vote. At the same time, Bailey was talking with Brandon and Lyla about Ben going home. Brandon thinks it's stupid, because there's already some people playing so hard. Bailey mentions Seamus as the main target. Lyla is ok with voting out Seamus. Bailey wants to tell Ben and Raina about Anahi's plan. She goes to them and tells them that Anahi is talking about targeting Ben. He's shocked and he wants to vote for her. Raina also doesn't like the fact Anahi is talking about the weakest link thing when she's not an athletic person.

In the end, the alliance of four (Anahi, Harleigh, Seamus, Warren) along with Wayne votes for Ben and he's voted out by a vote of 5-3-2.

## Challenges

**Reward/Immunity Challenge:** *Got to Choose*
The castaways must race under an obstacle and retrieve a war club. After completing the obstacle, they will have to maneuver through a rope tunnel. The tribes have the option of using a shortcut, thereby reducing the number of rope obstacles to cross. After this, the castaways must walk over a balance beam. The tribes can use a second shortcut to enlarge the beam, making it much easier to cross. The tribes will then carry a crate to the finish. Two members from each tribe will then have to solve a puzzle. If a tribe had used zero shortcuts, their puzzle will contain 50 pieces. If the tribe had used one shortcut, their puzzle will contain 60 pieces. If the tribe had used both shortcuts, their puzzle will contain 70 pieces. The first tribe to finish their puzzle wins.
**Reward:** Flint
**Winner:** Vula
