Snakes In the Tribe

**Snakes In the Tribe** is the season premiere of *Survivor: The Australian Outback*.

## Story

### Day 1

16 new castaways landed on one of the most unforgiving places on Earth, the Australian Outback. The sixteen castaways were divided into two competing tribes. They must survive the elements and each other for the next 39 days, or they will be voted off the island. In the end, only one will claim the $1,000,000 prize and the title of Sole Survivor.
The two tribes were: Binnu and Nanga.

A DH-C4 Royal Australian Military Aircraft containing the survivors landed on the Herbert riverbanks. The survivors must not talk to each other until they land. Upon landing, the castaways (who were already assigned to two tribes) raced to their supply crates, and they were given only five minutes to empty their crates. After the allotted time, they would start their five-mile trek to their respective camps.

During the Binnu tribe trek, the castaways began experiencing the Australian heat. Raymond thought it will be a good idea to start building their shelter as soon as they will arrive, but Juliet started to talk how much she wants to wash herself.

Finally, the Binnu tribe arrived to their camp. Taliyah found Raymond's idea good and started to look for wood and grass. Juliet announced that she's going to wash herself as the river is next to their camp. Howard wants to join Juliet and Gordon also wants to go.

Raymond talks with Taliyah, Nora and David about Juliet, Howard and Gordon talking together. Taliyah thinks they will form an alliance. Raymond agrees. Nora says they have to go. David is shocked how quickly people are targeting each other.

While tanning in water, Juliet asked Howard and Gordon what they think about their tribe. Gordon thinks they look strong, but Vivian is too old for this, so she will be voted out first. Howard mentions David being very calm and probably trustworthy. Juliet wants to have five people in her alliance, so she suggests Taliyah also.

On the trek of Nanga tribe they started to sing some songs and dance while carrying stuff. The whole tribe is very happy about this adventure.

With Nanga arriving to their camp, Angelo wants everybody to introduce themselves. Egypt tells everybody she's a beautician, but she's an advocate in reality.

After everybody finished introducing to each other, Kaylie immediately began to work hard. People told her to calm down appreciated her efforts. Everyone was impressed with her commitment.

### Day 2

The Binnu tribe woke up and they already started to feel the heat from the sun. Nora and Vivian want to look for a fresh water to drink. Nora thinks this tribe is not connected in a good way. Vivian thinks the same. Nora says there's a huge division already. Vivian complains about Juliet being a dumb newbie, David sitting alone in the shelter not talking to anybody, Raymond dancing like a clown and Gordon with Howard scheming against everybody. Nora laughs and agrees. They consider taking David, Taliyah and Raymond to vote out "the threesome".

Back at Nanga tribe, Ashlyn and Angelo go to the river where Ashlyn has a panic attack. Angelo tries to comfort her. Ashlyn is afraid to be first one to go. She starts to cry. Angelo tells her not to worry, because he thinks they should tell the tribe to vote out Kaylie or Egypt first.

While Angelo and Ashlyn are talking by the water, Jermaine notices they have disappeared. Egypt immediately targets them. Kaylie wants to make sure she's with the majority, so she agrees. Jana says Ashlyn is going to be the weakest link. Ezekiel listens the conversation and he doesn't like it.

Ezekiel talks with Kai about last conversation about Ashlyn and Angelo. He tells Kai he doesn't like their behavior. Kai asks him what he means. Ezekiel says Egypt is targeting people in this tribe, talking trash about Ashlyn and Angelo. Ezekiel wonders what if Egypt talks trash about him now, because he left the camp. Kai agrees. Ezekiel tells him he doesn't want to play with people like Egypt.

### Day 3

After Binnu losing the Immunity Challenge, they're back in their camp. Taliyah completly ruined chances for winning the challenge for Binnu tribe.

Juliet talks with Gordon about taking Taliyah to their side and voting against Vivian. Gordon is confused. Juliet tells him she wants to tell Taliyah she will be voted out because she's the reason they've lost the challenge, so she will tell her she can be safe if she will vote with them for Vivian, so it will be 4-4 or maybe they will convince David or Raymond. Gordon thinks it can be a great gameplay. Later on, Gordon tells Juliet's plan to Howard.

Howard, Nora, Vivian and Raymond are talking. Vivian knows she's on the chopping block. David joins them. They talk how bad Taliyah was. Nora asks Howard who he would like to vote for. Howard tells them he's more into voting out Taliyah, because he thinks Juliet and Gordon are really nice people.

In the end, because of the challenge performance, everybody voted for Taliyah and she was voted out by a vote of 7-1.
