### Day 1

16 Americans from different walks of life were sent to a remote Malaysian fishing village to board a small boat. In the middle of the ocean, the cast was instructed to salvage all supplies that they can get, jump overboard to their tribe rafts on the small uncharted deserted island of Pulau Tiga in the South China Sea off the Malaysian coast of Borneo.

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: Bontang and Sabah, began to scramble to pull as many supplies as they could off the boat and onto their own rafts.

The Bontang tribe arrived at camp, happily setting up camp and talking about creating a shelter almost immediately.
They are feeling very happy about their tribe. They think they're much stronger than Sabah tribe. After some work around camp, the castaways started to meet each other and talk about their occupations. Everybody was interested in Christina's story about her being troubled teens mentor.

Later on, Finn and Jessica were looking for some wood to make a fire later. They started to talk about working together. Jessica feels very good about Finn. They laugh together and were talking about other tribemates.

The Sabah tribe arrived to their camp and they've started to hug and welcome each other. The energy in their camp is great. They are talking about their lifes, families and occupations. After some time, Ciara spent some time with Keenan. They quickly bonded with each other and were talking about other tribemates. Keenan started to talk how Aubrie will be the weakest. Ciara discovered, that it's not only about survival, but they have to also think about it strategically.

### Day 2

The Bontang tribe woke up and they started the day with Alex telling stories from his life that were funny to other tribemates. They didn't feel like they are on Survivor, they felt like they're camping, because the atmosphere in camp was so good. After some of Alex's and Chris's jokes, Liv started to show everybody how she dances in her job, which is fire dancing. The Bontang tribe were having so much fun watching performances.

Back at Sabah tribe, Emilie felt very weak and the rest of Sabah members saw her lying in camp all day. Wayne wanted to help her, so he stayed with her. Emilie started to talk with Wayne about how hard it is here. Wayne told Emilie, that she has to start believe in herself.

Later on, Ciara was talking to Jude and Carson about Emilie and Wayne sitting in camp all day. Men want to win challenges, so they are worried about physical condition of Emilie and Wayne.

### Day 3

With Sabah losing their first challenge, they came back to their camp and started to talk about eliminating someone. Ciara was first to talk about Emilie going home. Phoebe didn't like how Ciara is managing others so she talked with Emilie and Wayne about voting out Ciara.

Phoebe and Wayne started to fight for Emilie, as they think she deserves to be here. Phoebe started to talk with everybody except for Ciara. When Keenan found out that Phoebe's trying to vote her out, he quickly ran to Ciara. Ciara was not considering Phoebe to go, because all eyes are on Emilie.

The Sabah tribe arrived at Tribal Council and talked about tribe dynamic. Everybody was talking good about each other, until Ciara looked at Emilie and told her truth about her being useless for the tribe. Phoebe was upset at Ciara so much, that they've started to yell at each other. Phoebe was telling how she protects weaker people, so Ciara responded that Phoebe just admitted Emilie is weak. After a harsh conversation, they started to vote and in the end Emilie was first to go by a vote of 5-3.
