**Reward:** Tribal Immunity and flint
**Winner:** Weno

## Story

### Day 1

Intense music starts to play as the first episode of the season premieres. As the music goes, shots of the beautiful Micronesia and it's crystal water are shown on screen. After some time the camera quickly zooms in two colored canoes making their way through the Micronesian sea. Shots from underneath the water are seen with fishes swimming right below the canoes. Then finally Jeff Probst is highlighted inside a chopper, flying over Micronesian islands.

Shots of storms coming and going in a fast-forward peace are shown to the viewer as a lighting strikes in the end, with a gong heard in the background.

The camera now focuses on the green boat where eight castaways are waiting for the show to begin. Special focus is given to a blond man wearing a tie and staring at the ocean seriously.

Next to the blond guy we see a young man smiling, excited to see that he is about to join Survivor.

In the other side of the canoe, a forty-year-old woman is highlighted with a smirk on her face.

The focus goes back to Probst as he is now standing inside the chopper.

The camera goes down to the red boat where a blonde woman shakes her head while watching a surfer dude as he strikes a confident smile.

The surfer dude is now highlighted as he stares at Nicole with the same smile on his face.

The scene then switches to a man with a jacket, that quietly observes the whole tribe.

The music starts to get even more intense, as shots of the castaways on challenges and working around camp are shown to the viewer.

A scene of a young girl joyfully laughing in her bikini is shown as her confessional is heard in the background.

Jeff is now seen standing outside of the chopper as the wind wobbles his clothes.

Now a strong guy breaking a log in slow motion is shown as his confessional airs.

As Jeff is once again shown standing outside the chopper, the camera now zooms out as Probst gives the viewers his famous speech.

 File:Survivor Oceania-1
As the intro finishes heroic and calm music plays in the background. The canoes are seen docking on the shore as the sixteen castaways drop off the boat, all of them with excitement in their faces. The highlight is on a young ginger, that helps his tribe mates to leave the boat with a big smile on his face.

As all of the castaways are standing on their spots in front of Jeff Probst, the later welcome them to the game.

**Probst:** Welcome to Survivor: Oceania.

All the castaways cheer and a round of applause is heard as the camera focuses on Cameron doing a happy dance.

**Probst:** As noticed, you have been divided into two tribes already. Your buffs are right over there at yours tribe mat. Green tribe, your name is Kusaie, and Red tribe your name is Weno.

All the castaways start to pick their buffs from the ground and each one of them wears them in a different manner.

**Vince (whispering):** Weno. I like the sound of it. *(as he puts his buff on his head)*

**Probst:** Okay. Blond guy there in the back, what's your name? *(pointing at Frank)*

**Frank:** You can call me Frank, Jeff. *(giving a confident smile)*

**Probst:** What's your say about your tribe?

**Frank (with disdain):** We are a cool bunch of kids. We have the hot girls, the big dudes, the nerds...We've got a complete group over here Jeff, there's no way these other people are going to beat us. *(pointing at the other tribe without looking at them)*

Some castaways make shocked faces due to Frank's direct answer and some, as Sandra, roll their eyes.

**Probst:** I bet the other tribe is dying to answer that!

A few giggles are heard on the Kusaie tribe.

**Probst:** Guy with the red t-shirt, what do you have to say?

**Isaac:** My name is Isaac and he can say whatever he wants Jeff. I just don't assure that what he said is going to happen is going to happen. We've got a cool gang over here too. *(smiling)*

His tribes smiles at his answer and Isaac stares at Frank that keeps looking at Jeff.

The scene goes back at Isaac smiling at Jeff, as he didn't take the heat from Frank's answer.

**Probst:** Girl with the red top in the front...

**Nicole (smiling):** Nicole.

**Probst:** Do you got anything to say for the Weno tribe?

**Nicole:** Yeah...I think that as Frank said we've a complete group and I can only hope for us to do well in challenges. Obviously the other tribe also has its strength and to see which one is the stronger tribe I guess we will have to wait for our first challenge.

**Probst:** Talking about strengthen the tribe, it's time for our first twist.

A few shocked faces are highlighted as they weren't expecting a twist this early on the game.

**Probst:** I'm going to give you a paper and a pen and you will vote someone out of your tribe in this exact moment.

Probst starts to give them the paper and the pen as the mood starts to get tense.

Shots of the castaways writing down in the paper appear on screen, after a quick break the scene returns with Jeff Probst in front of the castaways once again as everyone have their votes ready.

**Probst:** Okay, I'll start with the Kusaie tribe. Isaac you may show your vote.

Isaac is the first to show and he reveals his vote to be for the "young small girl in pink" and Hailey sighs as she knows it's her. Right after Hailey's and Deanna's votes are shown to be for Sandra. Sandra reveals her vote for Hailey and Cameron and Sabrina follow her lead. Daniel shows his vote for Sandra and Stephen gives Hailey the sentence when he reveals his vote for her.

**Probst:** Hailey, you were the most voted, you can join me here.

Hailey makes her way to Jeff Probst as she hears excuses coming from her tribe mates.

**Probst:** How are you feeling Hailey? *(patting her back)*

**Hailey:** Surprised because of the twist, but I kind of expected this reaction from my tribe. *(kindly smiling)*

**Probst:** Okay, let's move on to the Weno tribe. Nicole, as you wish.

Nicole reveals her first vote for Wayne, who afterwards shows his vote for Brooke. Frank and Carly cast their votes against Sophie, and so did Brooke. But, after Sophie's, John's and Vince's votes, Brooke's destiny is sealed and she is out of the tribe.

**Brooke:** Damn it! *(kicking the ground)*

**Probst:** You can join Hailey here Brooke.

Brooke walks towards Hailey, but doesn't receive any apologies from her tribe.

**Probst:** Okay, I've got good news and bad news for you two.

**Brooke:** Just start with the bad one, Probst!

**Probst:** It's pretty clear that if this was a real Tribal Council you two would be in real trouble, however...

**Hailey (with hope):** This isn't a real Tribal Council?

**Probst:** No, you are not out of this game or out of yours tribes...

Hailey sighs in relief and Brooke celebrates. Some sympathetic smiles from the two tribes are also shown.

**Probst:** It served as warning for you two. Now to the good news. You won't be making your way back to camp by foot like the other tribemates. A chopper will leave both of you at your new home and there you will have to make a decision alone.

**Brooke:** Yay! Chopper ride! *(with a big smile)*

**Probst:** The chopper is waiting for you ladies. *(as he points in the direction of the chopper)*

The two of them weave their goodbyes and make their way to the chopper. When they leave the area, Jeff starts speaking again.

**Probst:** For the rest of you, here's a map of your new homes *(throwing two maps)*

Both tribes catch their maps and waits for Jeff to say more.

**Probst:** It's a long track to camp, and you will have a lot of work to do today, good luck.

The castaways all grab their stuff and the camera focuses on Frank as he seems pretty pissed off and then switches to Hailey and Brooke boarding the chopper.

### WENO

The episode continues with a beautiful music plays while an overview of the Weno tribe camp is shown. Then the camera zooms in Brooke, who just left the chopper and is making her way to her tribe flag and as the camera focuses on her, clumsy music plays in the background.

Brooke finally arrives at her tribe's flag. There she founds a note that she quickly grabs.

**Brooke:** Okay...okay...Sweet Jesus help me.

She opens it up and makes a shocked face.

**Brooke:** "You have a decision to make, you can help yourself or your tribe." Uhhh, that's cool. *(smiling)* "If you choose to help your tribe you will be given a second bag of rice, if you choose to help yourself you will be given a clue to the location of the hidden immunity idol."

Brooke looks to the camera with a surprised face, as she wasn't expecting that.

**Brooke:** Uh...What do I do?? Can I have both? *(laughing alone)*

Brooke shrugs her shoulders and grabs the bag of rice from underneath the flag.

**Brooke:** I hope this won't bite me in the ass later!

A final focus on Brooke's smiley face is shown before it cuts to the other tribe's camp.

### KUSAIE

At the Kusaie camp, Hailey is seen reading the note that indicates what decision she has to make.

Back to the camp, the young girl finishes reading the piece of paper.

**Hailey:** Oh that's interesting. I'm going to apologize for my tribe in advance, but I'm getting the clue.

Hailey grabs another scrolled piece of paper from the tribe's flag as she reads out loud the clue.

Hailey is seen putting the clue in her pocket and leaving her bag by the tribe flag.

**Hailey:** The clue talks about a "fallen tree", so I guess I'll have to explore this jungle here. I'll also look for some things that could be useful at camp so my tribe mates will be glad I did some work around here.

Shots of Hailey exploring the wild are shown, as she looks in bushes and at the ground for places where the idol could be. We also see her collecting some branches. As time goes by, she is unsuccessful at finding the idol.

**Hailey:** Damn it...this thing is nowhere to be found!

She picks up the things she collected and decides to go back to camp.

**Hailey:** I better go back, my tribe should be waiting for me and I don't want to get in even more trouble now! *(giggling)*

The scene transitions to fishes quickly swimming in the sea as happy music starts playing, then the rest of the Kusaie tribe is seen arriving at camp in a line. Daniel is leading the line as he wonders about Hailey.

**Daniel:** Where is our little girl? *(looking around)*

The camera then shows Hailey behind the tribe's flag trying to open a coconut as her tribes arrives and greets her with hugs and welcomes.

**Daniel:** Hey! You're here after all! *(hugging Hailey)*

**Hailey:** Yeah...hey guys! Welcome to our home for the next thirty-nine days...*(smiling)*

Now the whole tribe is around Hailey, wondering about the decision the girl had to make.

**Sabrina (curious):** So, what was waiting for you here at camp?

**Hailey:** Well, I had to choose between time to look for an idol and time to work for the tribe.

**Sabrina (susrprised):** Oh, that's cool...

**Hailey:** So, I decided to do it for the tribe. I got some coconuts and some things to make fire. I caught some palm leafs for the roof, I hope I did enough. *(cutely smiling)*

The tribe is seen pleasantly surprised by Hailey's contribution for the group.

**Daniel:** Wow, that's awesome, thanks again! *(hugging Hailey one more time)*

The tribe is seen thanking Hailey as the camera focuses at the student's face.

As Hailey keeps talking about what she did at camp, the camera focuses on Sandra's face, the only one that doesn't seems pleased about Hailey's action.

The scene transitions to later in the day, as the tribe forms a circle and hears a speech coming from Daniel.

**Daniel:** Well guys, even after Hailey's brilliant work today, we still have a lot of stuff to do. Jeff said rains could be coming at any minute and we need a roof over our heads. Anyway, I think that if we can think through this as a group and in a very organized manner it will be the best for the tribe...

Daniel keeps talking, as the groups seems to be interested in what he haves to say, minus Sandra who kept the same "I don't care face" since Daniel started talking.

As his confessional ends, the focus goes back to the tribe's circle.

**Daniel:** Okay, let's decide things here. For an example, I believe I'll help more working on the shelter build, who would want to help me with that?

**Deanna:** I'll do it. *(with a charming smile)*

**Cameron:** Hey, I worked on making fire back at home, I could definitively try to start it out for us.

**Daniel:** That's awesome Cameron, you could absolutely do it.

**Stephen:** I'll help you out bro.

The tribe continues to decide who does what with Daniel's supervision and in the group decides that Daniel, Deanna and Isaac will work on the shelter, Hailey, Sabrina and Sandra will weave palm leafs and Cameron and Stephen would work on the fire.

Shots of the tribe working are shown to the viewer, we see Cameron and Stephen trying to create fire and Daniel chopping a big tree to build the shelter. The camera stops on the three girls weaving, as they seem to be having a good conversation.

**Sabrina:** It was awesome what you did for us today Hailey, we can only thank you for that.

**Hailey:** Oh it wasn't a problem at all, I'm glad you guys appreciated my help.

Sandra's face is focused as she makes a disgusted face at Hailey's cuteness.

**Sandra:** So girls, it's like we found our superman already. Am I right?

**Hailey (confused):** Are you talking about Daniel?

**Sandra:** Totally. Like, can't he get over himself? He acts so perfectly, like he was untouchable and the best person in the world. I'm so over it.

**Sabrina (sassily):** I feel you girl. He wears that tie and with that blond hair but he doesn't fools me. He's so full of himself already.

**Sandra:** Yeah, the way he dictated things around camp and how he always thinks he is right it's really boring.

**Sabrina:** I'm glad someone has the same opinion as of me, sister!

**Sandra:** What's your say Hailey?

**Hailey (unsure):** Yeah he seemed a little bit demanding.

**Sandra:** A little bit? *(chuckling)*

The girls keep dashing Daniel as the camera focuses on Hailey who remains silent during the conversation.

Hailey's worried face keeps being highlighted for some seconds after it switches for a scene of the sky with some birds flying. When the camera goes down we see Deanna helping Daniel cut a big tree.

**Daniel:**Uh...I think we need a break. *(wiping his sweat)*

**Deanna:**Yeah, as you wish.

**Daniel:**Do you do that kind of stuff back home? Because you don't seem tired at all.

**Deanna:** Well not exactly bring trees down, but I do some pretty interesting stuff.

**Daniel:**Really? That's awesome. What do you do exactly?

**Deanna:** I'm a professional dancer, so I work out every day, I climb mountains, canoeing...these stuff.

Daniel's face is highlighted as he can't stop looking at Deanne and seems super interested about what the dancer has to say.

Deanna keeps talking about her crazy lifestyle and Daniel closely listens to her.

**Daniel:** You are a pretty cool girl, did you know that?

**Deanna (joking):** I've heard it before. *(chuckling)*

**Daniel:** It's serious, I'm glad to have you on my team.

**Deanna (joking):** I'm glad to have you on mine, Mister Superman!

Daniel playfully rolls his eyes as both of them start to laugh. The camera then focuses on Deanna's charming smile.

Deanna and Daniel keep talking when they are joined by Isaac.

**Isaac:** What's up people, need some help there?

**Daniel:** Yeah, help is needed around here, my friend.

Isaac smiles as he starts to chop the big tree. The camera focuses on Daniel's face, that seems to be thinking about something.

A big scene of the tree coming down is shown, as all three of them cheer.

**Deanna:** Yay! That's our guy! *(cheering)*

**Daniel:** Good job buddy. Thanks for the help.

**Isaac:** I'm glad we got over this so now we can finally start building the actual shelter.

**Daniel:** About that, I think we should talk about the game here first. What do you guys think?

**Isaac (smiling):** I'm all ears.

**Daniel:** I know it may sound early for you guys, but I feel a great vibe between us. We are the "shelter people" and I guess it totally makes sense for us to group. We will be threats later in the game and if we create a solid group from the get go, we will be safer.

**Deanna:** I see where you are coming from. But us three wouldn't matter a lot in a tribe of eight people.

**Daniel:** We could talk to others later, I just want to make sure us three are solid.

**Isaac:** I like you guy, I like your plan. I got nothing against the idea.

**Deanna:** I'm okay with it as well. It will be beneficial for all three of us.

**Daniel:** Awesome, let's shake our hands for it to count. *(smiling)*

The three of them shake their hands and smile to each other and as they leave the area the camera highlights Deanna, the last on the line with a smile on her face.

The camera goes back to camp and we are shown some more shots of people working at the construction of the shelter and then it shows us Cameron and Stephen working on the fire.

**Cameron:** Give me that stone, I'm going to do it like the cavemen did. *(smiling)*

**Stephen:** I think we will need more coconut husks. *(giving Cameron the stone.)*

Cameron adds the coconut husk and then starts to rub the machete against the stone in the quickest way possible. Some smoke is seen coming out of it as the camera focuses on Cameron's and Stephen's faces, as they anxiously wait for the spark that will bring fire to life.

**Stephen:** Come one Survivor Gods, help us out here!

Finally after some time sparks are seen all over the place, as the boys get even more hopeful.

**Cameron:** I got this...*(almost out of breath)*

And then, out of nowhere a big fire emerges in the middle of the coconut husks and heroic music starts to play.

**Stephen:** YES! WE DID IT MAN! *(standing up)*

The whole tribe's attention turns to the two young men, as Cameron adds more coconut husk to the fire that is growing bigger every second. Cameron stands up and hugs Stephen as the whole tribe is now around the fire cheering.

**Deanna:** Way to go boys!

**Cameron:** You are awesome...*(whispering to Stephen)*

The tribe continues to celebrate as Cameron bro hugs Stephen once again.

The camera keeps focused on Cameron's face and the heroic music keeps playing before it cuts to the other tribe's camp.

### WENO

Clumsy music starts to play once again as Brooke is seen siting on the bag of rice with a bored face.

**Brooke:** Goddammit, where's my tribe?

The Weno tribe is seen arriving at the beach in a line and we see Brooke standing up and opening her arms to welcome her fellow Weno mates.

**Brooke (excited):** Yay! Welcome home!

Everyone hugs Brooke and wonders what decision the retired nurse had to make.

**Wayne:** So, what was the "decision thing" you found here?

**Brooke:** I had to chose between an extra bag of rice or a clue to the hidden immunity idol. I chose the bag of rice guys. Doing it for the team.

**Sophie:** Thanks Brook!

Everyone thanks Brooke for her choice, but Frank wonders what she did this whole time alone. Tense music starts to play as Frank speaks

**Frank:** So, I think you spent some hours here alone, did you get something, or started to build our shelter...maybe...

**Brooke:** Well, I got the bag of rice...

**Frank:** Oh...I see...

The tribe keeps in silence, uncomfortable with the situation Frank created.

Back at camp, Frank starts to delegate some chores for people to do.

**Frank (speaking up):** Well, we need a goal here guys. And our goal is to make a good shelter today.

Everyone's attention turns to Frank.

**Frank:** Girls, you can get the palm leafs and do your magic on them.

Nicole's face is highlighted as she makes a bitch face at Frank.

**Frank:** Guys, you follow me so we can start to get some things to build the shelter.

**Wayne:** Wait, I think there's more to do than just shelter. We can...

**Frank:** Like what, Wayne? *(cutting him)*

**Wayne:** We will need water and fire as well.

**Frank:** In this case, I think two girls can head out to find the water source. We can think about fire later.

**Wayne:** As you wish.

We see the tribe heading off to do the chores Frank established and a special focus is given to Wayne, who doesn't seem happy with the situation.

The scene goes back to camp, where we find Nicole grabbing a bucket from behind the tribe flag as Sophie approaches her.

**Sophie:** Hey! So, can I help you with the water source? I'm not that good waving palm leafs.

**Nicole:** Of course, I'm not that good either.

Sophie smiles as the camera focuses on Nicole.

The camera follows as Nicole and Sophie carry a bucket while walking to teh water source with a map.

**Nicole:** So, how your Survivor experience has been so far? *(trying to start a conversation)*

**Sophie:** So far good. I think my brain didn't realize I'm here yet...

**Nicole:** Yeah, it feels good to be here. What do you think about our tribe so far?

**Sophie:** Well, it seems like we will have some guys clashing around here.

**Nicole:** True...but let's be honest, Frank was quite abrasive today.

**Sophie:** Totally, I guess it's just part of his personality.

**Nicole:** We need to keep an eye on these guys...for sure...*(giggling)*

Sophie nods as both of them finally spot the water source.

**Sophie:** OMG, is there! *(pointing)*

A close up of Sophie smiling is shown before it cuts to Nicole's confessional.

Shots of Nicole now talking with the girls as they weave leafs are shown as the show focuses on all of them seeming to have a really good time. Then it transitions to the men working pretty hard at the shelter as time goes by suddenly Wayne is focused with a confused face.

**Wayne:** What's the plan again, frank?

**Frank:** Well...we build the shelter right here, turned to the sea.

**Wayne:** But this way all the wind coming from the sea will go directly to us.

**Frank:** It's hot here, we kind of need a refreshment.

**Vince:** Yeah, but it's cold at night, and when it rains it will be even colder... *(stopping what he is doing to join the discussion)*

**Frank:** Look, we had a plan, can we just keep to it? Why change it now?

**Vince:** Well, because a change is needed and there's still time to change.

**Frank (bluntly):** No...I'm the leader of this tribe and I say we continue.

The camera focuses on Vince's and Wayne's faces, as both raises their eyebrows at Frank's last comment.

Back at camp, Vince decides to speak up.

**Vince:** And who said you are the leader of this tribe?

**Frank:** I think we all agreed on that when the chores were being distributed.

**Vince:** Actually no.

Frank stares Vince in the eyes, as he seems about to lose his calm, but John quickly tries to appease the two of them.

**John:** Guys, we have a shelter to build and this talk won't lead to nothing. I think the most of us agree that the shelter should be turned against the sea, so let's just go with it.

**Frank:** Whatever. *(shaking his head)*

The camera keeps focusing on Frank's face, as he seems really pissed that his tribe didn't follow his lead.

### WENO

A beautiful shot of the micronesian islands are shown, before the translation to day two is highlighted. It's a beautiful morning at the Weno's camp, and despite all the disagreements from day one, everyone seems to be in a good mood. Sophie is seen sitting in the recently build shelter as Frank stands up.

**Sophie:** Great job on building the shelter. *(smiling)*

**Frank:** Oh thanks! I did it all with the help from these guys. *(pointing to Vince and Wayne laying on the shelter)*

Wayne and Vince smile at Frank, who is also seen smiling.

Everyone is now seen awake at the Weno's camp, while Frank is the only one standing up.

**Frank:** Well guys, I bet this shelter is very comfy right now, but we need to get to work.

Vince's face is shown as he laughs to himself.

**Frank:** This tribe won't move alone. I'll try to see if I can catch some fish, but we also need to ge tmore water, try to start a fire and find other sources of food...

Frank keeps talking as Vince keeps shaking his head and laughing.

Frank is seen heading to the sea, with a sharp piece of wood that eh created himself to catch some fishes. Everyone is back at camp, still trying to wake up. Vince is the first to stand up.

**Vince:** Let's go to work guys, otherwise our leader Frank will be mad at us!

The tribe laughs at Vince's comment as they all stand up and start heading out to do some chores.

The whole tribe is seen working, trying to make fire as a happy music plays in the background. Finally the camera shows the viewers John and Brooke talking while they get water from the water well.

**John:** So, how are you Brook? You're not mad we voted you out, right?

**Brooke:** Oh no, honey! Don't worry, I understand it. I'm the old lady, I would vote for myself if I could.

John is seen laughing at Brooke's comment as his confessional airs.

John helps Brooke with the bucket, as they keep talking.

**John:** Anyway, I'm sorry for voting for you on the first day. I regret it, believe me.

**Brooke:** Sweetie, there's not a problem, I swear.

**John:** Is that you seem to be down a little, and I thought it was because of this.

**Brooke:** No...It's actually because yesterday I think people weren't too happy with my decision...and I did it for the tribe! Maybe they think I lied about it.

**John:** Oh..no, I think that is actually because they thought you could've started building the shelter...but don't worry, besides from Frank, I think no one holds any grudges.

Brooke honestly smiles to John, from relief that the tribe is not discrediting her.

Brooke and John are now making their way back to camp, but the conversation continues.

**Brooke:** Thanks for being honest with me son, it means a lot.

**John:** Not a problem Brook. You can count with me, and I hope I can count with you too.

**Brooke:** You can count on me, honey!

The two of them are seen smiling before another confessional from John airs.

John and Brooke return to camp, where Vince is working on improving the roof of the shelter and Nicole helps him. As John places the bucket full of water in the ground, he notices Carly's absence.

**John:** Where's Carly? She wasn't supposed to be helping you guys?

**Vince:** Oh I think the beauty queen wants some time for herself.

John makes a surprised face as Nicole roll her eyes playfully at Vince's ironic tone. The view than changes to the beach, where Carly is seen in the sea, relaxing. The camera zooms in on her as her confessional airs.

Shots of Carly swimming and diving with the fishes are shown as suddenly some weird music starts playing in the background and the view transitions to back to camp, where John watches Carly have fun from distance.

**John:** She is clearly having some fun.

The camera keeps focusing on John before he confessional airs.

Carly is seen leaving the sea before the show goes to a break.

### KUSAIE

The episode reopens with an aerial view of the Kusaie camp. Then it proceeds to show us Cameron and Stephen getting tree-mail.

**Cameron:** Yay, I think we've got something.

**Stephen:** That's cool, can't wait for the first challenge.

**Cameron:** For sure, let's go back to camp and tell the others the news.

**Stephen:** First, I think I want to talk with you something.

**Cameron:** We can talk while we walk. *(smiling)*

Stephen nods as the boys are seen leaving the Tree Mail area.

The boys are now making they way to camp and Cameron takes the tree mail with him.

**Stephen:** So, I was thinking. In this game you need to create real bonds, and I think I have a pretty good with you.

**Cameron:** Yeah, I feel the same way, bro.

**Stephen:** And also, in this game, bonds become alliances. And I was wondering..."Hey, I could make a deal with Cameron".

**Cameron (smiling):** Yeah! That's awesome, we can have each other backs.

**Stephen:** Exactly. Can I count with you?

**Cameron (smiling):** Totally, dude!

The boys shake their hands and the camera focuses on Cameron smiling.

The two of them come back to camp and give the news to the tribe.

**Cameron (raising his voice):** Guys we have Tree Maiiiiil!

The whole tribe cheers and joins Cameron in the middle of the camp as he starts reading Tree Mail. The camera shows his close-up, as he reads with a smile on his face.

The camera transitions to a beautiful view from the challenge site in the middle of the sea, as it quickly zooms in on the challenge course with a dramatic music in the background. We see Jeff Probst standing, waiting for the castaways.

**Probst:** Come on in guys!

The dramatic music keeps playing as the two tribes appear on the screen, with all the sixteen castaways smiling at Probst. When Vince fixes the Weno's tribe flag on the ground, Probst starts speaking again.

**Probst:** Are you guys ready to get to your first challenge?

Everyone nods and some even answer Probst with a big "Yes!". Jeff then proceeds to explain the challenge, and all the castaways seem ready to start it.

**Probst:** Wanna know what you playing for?

The castaways nod once again and Jeff continues.

**Probst:** First of all, you are playing for fire. Fire in the form of flint. In addition, you are playing for the most important thing in this game. Immunity.

Probst uncovers the tribal immunity idol as everyone cheers and applaud. We see Isaac blowing it a kiss as he laughs afterwards.

**Probst:** Immunity guarantees you are not going home. I'll give you one minute to strategize and we'll get it started.

 Role
 Runners

Shots of the challenge are shown before we see all the castaways in their positions, just waiting for Jeff.

**Probst:** Okay. Survivors ready?.......GO!

The runners for each tribe start climbing up the sands hills. Everyone is seen doing a pretty good start, running and jumping through the hills, immediately Isaac pulls ahead with Frank, Vince and Cameron right behind him. After the second hill, Carly and Sabrina are seen struggling, but Carly receives help from Nicole to get over the last hill, while Sabrina is shown out of breath, trying to make it. The whole Weno tribe arrives first at the raft and Vince unclips it and the tribe starts to head to shore. After some time Sabrina, with help from Isaac, finally arrives at the raft and the Kusaie tribe moves on. A lot of people are seen struggling now, but the Weno tribe arrives first at the beach and they all start untying the knots. The Weno tribe is seen working pretty well together as Frank takes a lot of planks and starts making his way back, with the tribe right behind him. The Kusaie tribe finally gets to the beach and as some people take the planks, Isaac stays behind to help Sabrina finish the course. With a good lead John and Brooke start working on the staircase, and John is clearly the one leading the process. Hailey and Sandra try to work together on the staircase to win some time for the Kusaie tribe and it works as they make quick progress and the camera also focuses on Sabrina, who looks defeated. Weno finishes the staircase just seconds before Kusaie, who gained a lot of time with Hailey and Sandra, and both tribes start making their way to the top. Nicole and John quickly find their way through the peg maze table, while Sabrina and Stephen struggle with moving the peg. Intense music starts to play as Nicole and John hit a dead end, but keep moving quickly. In the end, one tribe manages to release the peg first, raising their tribe flag.

**Probst:** WENO WINS IMMUNITY!

The Weno tribe is seen jumping and celebrating as Frank gives Carly a big hug. In the other end, the Kusaie tribe looks defeated and Isaac is seen shaking his head and Hailey looks down, sad.

**Probst:** Weno, congratulations, fire.

Jeff throws a flint to the Weno tribe and Vince catches it with a big smile on his face.

**Probst:** And also, immunity.

Jeff gives the idol to Brooke, who hugs it and kisses it.

**Probst:** No Tribal Council for Weno, no one going home. Kusaie bad news for you guys, Tribal Council tonight where the first person will be voted out of this game and it's coming from your tribe. You have the afternoon to figure out who it's gonna be, head back to camp.

The Kusaie tribe is seen coming down the stairs, defeated, and the camera focuses on Daniel who looks pretty upset at his tribe loss.

The camera focuses on Sabrina, who looks totally defeated from the challenge before it cuts to break.

### KUSAIE

The show reopens with a sad music while we see the Kusaie tribe members placing their stuff next to the shelter. Sabrina is seen with a worried face and decides to speak up.

**Sabrina:** People, I just want to say sorry for today. I didn't handle the challenge and I'm sorry. I really want to say that I promise to work harder, even if that means passing out in a challenge.

**Isaac:** Don't worry Sabrina, this challenge was pretty tough.

Sabrina lets out a small smile to Isaac as we hear her confessional in the background.

The scene now switches for Sandra and Sabrina talking in the middle of the jungle.

**Sandra:** So, girl, I really don't want you out today.

**Sabrina:** Me neither, believe!

Sandra smiles at Sabrina, who is eager to hear what the stay at home mom has to say.

**Sabrina:** So, you gotta a plan, or something like this?

Sandra nods and smirks before it cuts to her confessional.

The scene goes back to the conversation as Sandra explains her plan to Sabrina.

**Sandra:** Well, my plan right now is to send Daniel home, would it make sense for you?

**Sabrina:** Hm, I thought it would be easier to go for Hailey, but tell me more about it. I would love to send Daniel packing and I would do anything to stay alive.

**Sandra:** In order to do that we have to bring the girls together, this way we will have four votes coming Daniel's way.

**Sabrina:** I like the sound of it, but four votes won't be enough if the other four vote for me.

**Sandra:** That's the second part of the plan. We need to make the boys split their votes between Hailey and you, so with four we have majority.

Sabrina nods at Sandra's plan, but doesn't seem so sure.

The scene goes back to camp, where Deanna, Daniel and Isaac are the only ones at the shelter, discussing the vote.

**Daniel:** What should we do for tonight?

**Deanna:** I'm down for whatever you guys propose.

**Daniel:** My guess is Sabrina, she really slowed us down today...I know it sucks, but it has to be someone.

**Isaac:** I think we should go for Hailey. She isn't very good in challenges either and we already voted her out once, she may want some kind of revenge.

**Deanna:** But Hailey did work her ass off in camp, and she did a pretty good job at the puzzle.

**Daniel:** That's true, it wouldn't be fair to get rid of Hailey.

The camera focuses on Isaac's face, who doesn't seem convinced that voting for Sabrina would be the best plan.

Hailey is seen approaching the shelter as the group decides to discuss this later.

**Daniel (whispering):** Okay, we talk about this later.

Isaac and Deanna nod, as Hailey now is standing right in their side.

**Hailey:** So, who wants to go for a swim?

**Deanna:** I'll go with you! I need some time to relax.

Deanna quickly stands up, as the camera focuses on Hailey.

Now all the girls are seen hanging out at the sea, with Deanna braiding Hailey's hair. Sandra however, decides to bring a serious tone to the conversation.

**Sandra:** So, what are you girls thinking about the vote today?

**Hailey:** I have no idea, no one came to talk with me yet.

Deanna nods as Sandra keeps talking.

**Sandra:** Well, it probably one of us going today.

**Deanna:** Do you think?

**Sandra:** It's obvious for me that these guys will gang up on us and we will leave one after the other.

Hailey makes a worried face, as Sabrina keeps nodding at everything Sandra says.

Sandra keeps explaining the plan to the girls, who all listen closely.

**Sandra:** I think that if we get rid of Daniel tonight we will be sending a big message for them.

**Hailey:** But Daniel helps us in challenges and he is pretty good at camp.

**Sandra:** I know sweetie, but he is a pain in the ass as a leader, and it's the only way for us to survive in this game. Are you down for it?

**Sabrina:** I'll do whatever you girls say...I'm just ready to kick these boys out of here.

**Deanna:** I'm fine with it, but I guess we won't have majority with only four votes.

**Sandra:** Don't worry, I'll solve this right now.

Sandra explains the other part of the plan to Deanna who simply nods. Later Sandra and Sabrina leave the conversation and make their way to shore. As soon as they leave, Deanna looks to Hailey with a confused face.

Now only Deanna and Hailey are at the sea, as they discuss about Sandra's plan.

**Deanna:** That mom is crazy.

Hailey giggles, as she shares her own opinion about the plan..

**Hailey:** I mean, this plan could make some sense and it's the only thing that I've heard so far, other than Daniel, I have no idea who to vote for.

**Deanna:** Don't worry, I heard some people saying Sabrina, after her performance at the challenge.

**Hailey:** Okay, that would make sense, I guess...but that would still leave the boys with majority after we vote Sabrina out.

**Deanna:** I know, but trust me, they don't plan on doing an all-male alliance, this is so old-school.

Hailey nods, but still feels insecure about the vote.

The show then show us a lot of shots of Sandra and Sabrina talking to the boys, as Sandra tries to make them confuse about the vote, hoping that they will split the vote and as the conversations go the camera keeps focusing on Sabrina's face, who seems pretty uncomfortable with the whole situation.

The episode now shows Isaac and Sabrina drinking from their canteens as they walk by the beach.

**Isaac:** Are you okay, Sabrina?

**Sabrina:** Well, I'm still worried about the vote tonight, after my performance at the challenge.

**Isaac:** Look, people did mention your name, but nothing is certain yet.

**Sabrina:** Still...I don't know what to do!

Isaac stares at Sabrina for some time before he speaks up again.

**Isaac:** Okay, well, vote for Hailey tonight. That's the safest bet, people are also throwing her name around.

Sabrina is seen nodding as she sighs once again.

Sabrina and Isaac are highlighted once again as the woman still looks worried.

**Sabrina:** Are you sure you can keep me around?

**Isaac:** I'll try my best...It will work, trust me.

Sabrina bites her lip as her confessionals airs.

Now we see the sun setting down, as all the boys plus Deanna are talking about the vote near the shelter.

**Cameron:** So, what's the final say?

**Isaac:** We should go for Hailey, I'm telling you guys. If she stays she is only going to cause trouble.

**Daniel:** But what if you are wrong and she isn't coming after us at all?

**Deanna:** Yeah, I kind of agree with Daniel...it will be better to go for Sabrina.

**Isaac:** I'm warning you guys...

**Stephen:** We need to decide something people, it's almost time.

The group keeps talking, but we don't hear what they say, as it sun is almost totally down, we see the castaways grabbing their stuff and making their way to Tribal Council as Daniel's confessional airs in the background.

As they march their way to Tribal Council, the camera highlights Sabrina's, Daniel's and Hailey's face. Quickly the view switches to the Tribal Council area, a micronesian hut in the middle of the forest, some feet above the ground. Intense music plays as we see the castaways ,in pure darkness, making their way into it. Waiting for them inside the hut is Jeff Probst who is quick at welcoming them.

**Probst:** Welcome to Tribal Council. Behind each of you is a torch. Go ahead and grab a torch and dip it in the flame because in this game fire represents your life. Once your fire is gone, so are you.

All the eight castaways grab their torches and dip them into the fire, after that they all place their torches behind them and sit, waiting for Probst.

**Probst:** Okay, Isaac, minutes after the game started you had to vote someone out of your tribe, what was running through your mind at that moment?

**Isaac:** Well Probst, I was thinking that whichever decision I made, I had to think for the tribe. What would be better for us moving forward.

**Probst:** And why Hailey?

**Isaac:** Because my first read of her was that she was a little girl that wouldn't be able to get through this experience.

Hailey is seen playfully rolling her eyes at Isaac.

**Probst:** And Daniel, did this read of Isaac proven to be wrong?

**Daniel:** Definitively. Hailey was proven that she is a force at this tribe, she contributed a lot today at camp and managed to deliver a pretty good job at the challenge. She is way tougher than we all thought she would be.

Daniel smiles at Hailey, who smiles back.

**Probst:** But Hailey, even after that, you still gotta be worried that is you tonight.

**Hailey:** I am Jeff, you know better than anyone here that first-impressions do last in Survivor, and it's kind of creepy to be sitting here right now, the feeling is not good....

**Probst:** Anyone other then Hailey worried tonight?

Sabrina is quick to raise her hand as we see Sandra smirking.

**Probst:** Why that Sabrina?

**Sabrina:** I didn't help my tribe as much as I wanted today in the challenge and I've heard that my name is flying around there. I'm pretty concerned too.

**Probst:** Sandra, so the vote should be simple tonight. It's either Hailey or Sabrina, you just got to weight your options.

**Sandra:** It should be....but nothing is simple in Survivor. *(smirking)*

The music gets tenser, as the camera focuses on Daniel's lightly surprised face.

**Probst:** Daniel, after that, you gotta be worried that some sort of scheming is happening behind your back.

**Daniel:** Well for sure, I don't know what Sandra meant to that, but it did leave me uneasy, more than I was before.

**Probst:** Deanna, how likely is that tonight we are having our first blindside?

**Deanna:** It is very likely Jeff, every vote in Survivor is a blindside, some are just bigger than others.

Sandra is seen smirking at Deanna's comment.

**Probst:** Does that give hope to you, Sabrina?

**Sabrina:** Jeff...not actually...

Sabrina starts laughing for being nervous and the tribe also does the same.

**Sabrina:** Nothing is concrete in this game so you shouldn't feel safe at anytime, all I can do is hope for the best.

Jeff smiles at Sabrina as the "Time to vote" music starts to play.

**Probst:** After that statement, it's time to vote. Cameron, you're up.

Cameron is seen standing up with a smile on his face as he makes his way to the voting booth. No vote is shown to the audience as we keep seeing all the castaways, one by one make their way to vote. Wee see Hailey putting her vote on the urn and then Isaac is the last to go, when he returns, Jeff speaks up.

**Probst:** I'll go tally the votes.

Shots of Sabrina biting her lips, Hailey looking down and Sandra smirking ae shown to the viewer before Probst returns with the urn.

**Probst:** If anyone wants to play the hidden immunity idol, now would be the time to do so.

The camera focuses on Hailey, who keeps looking down with her eyes closed and then we see Sandra staring at Daniel, but no one stands up to play any idol.

**Probst:** Okay, once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately. I'll read the votes.

**First Vote: Sabrina.**

Sabrina sighs and Daniel is seen nodding with his head.

**Second Vote: Hailey.**

Hailey is still looking down with her eyes closed.

**Third Vote: Daniel.** We are tied, one vote for Sabrina, Hailey and Daniel.

Daniel is shown with a surprised face as he didn't see this vote coming. Sandra smirks once again.

**Fourth Vote: Sabrina.** That's two votes for Sabrina

Sabrina shakes her head, as Isaac stares at Probst, with a serious face.

**Fifth Vote: Sabrina.** That's three votes for Sabrina, one vote for both Daniel and Hailey

Sabrina is seen picking up her stuff, at Sandra closes her face and Hailey finally opens her eyes.

**Probst:** Sixth vote and first person voted out of Survivor: Oceania: Sabrina, that's four and that's enough, you need to bring me your torch.

Sabrina stands up as she hugs Isaac and gets her torch. Sandra is seen shaking her head in an angry head and Deanna pats Hailey in her back, who sighs in relief. Sabrina then places her torch in front of Jeff.

**Probst:** Sabrina the tribe has spoken, it's time for you to go.

Sabrina nods as she looks at her torch being snuffed, then she turns back to weave her tribe goodbye proceeding to leave the Tribal Council area.

**Probst:** Well, even after all the talk tonight the tribe chose to go with the easier decision, but only time will tell if that decision was the best one. You guys can grab your stuff and head back to camp. Goodnight.

The seven survivors all stand up as we see Deanna hugging Hailey. They all grab their torches and start to leave the Tribal Council area. The camera gives a final focus on Sandra's angry face and then switches to an aerial view of Tribal Council as the episode ends.
