## Story

### Day 1

A massive, wooden boat is shown in the distance. As it comes closer we get the first look at the castaways. A woman with black hair is shown.

Following Macy's confessional, a young boy with black hair and glasses is shown.

The camera then pans to a younger-looking woman with brown hair.

Following Alexis' confessional, another woman is shown.

The contestants jump off of the massive ship that they arrived on and into smaller wooden boats. Each one containing 4 people. They all start paddling to shore, where they meet Jeff Probst, the host. Each contestant gets on the tribe mats. Blue for Qutana and red for Alico.

Following the confessional, Jeff asks the castaways a few questions about the first impressions their competitors have given them.

**Jeff:** Girl in the back, blonde hair, black top?
**Abbey:** That would be me. Name's Abbey.
**Jeff:** Abbey. How are you feeling right now?
**Abbey:** Well I mean, overwhelmed.
**Jeff:** Really?
**Abbey:** Yeah. You know, this is an amazing show and to think I'm going to be a part of it and have a chance to win a million dollars is surreal. I mean, it's crazy.
**Jeff:** Well said.

**Jeff:** Tall, bald guy over there.
**Jason:** Me?
**Jeff:** Yes you. What's your name?
**Jason:** Jason, Jeff.
**Jeff:** Jason. What do you do for a living?
**Jason:** Right now I'm a professional boxer, but I've done lots in my time. I used to live on a farm, my parents are getting old so I'm helping them, just loads of things really.
**Jeff:** How will that help you in the game of Survivor?
**Jason:** There are three aspects to this game: social skills, strategy, and strength. I'm definitely gonna help my tribe in immunity challenges.
**Jeff:** I look forward to it.

**Jeff:** Small guy in the front, glasses, black hair. What's your name?
**James:** James sir, I- I mean Jeff.
**Jeff (laughing):** So James, what do you think of the people standing next to you?
**James:** Well, I'm definitely scared. Look at that guy over there...

James points to Jason

**James:** ...he looks like a brick for goodness sakes!
**Jeff:**Jason, what are your thoughts on that statement?
**Brick:** I like it.
**Macy:** We should call him that from now on!
**Jason:** Great idea.

Once Jeff and the tribes finish their discussion, he hands each of them a map to their new camp.

Once Qutana arrives, they instantly get to work on their shelter. Meanwhile, at Alico, the castaways get to know each other. They ask questions and get their first understanding of their competition. Part of it was that nobody wanted to come across as the leader.

When Abbey finally suggests building a shelter, Wilbur and Mariam walk off. Wilbur tells Mariam that they need to stick together, as they are the oldest people on the tribe. She agrees. They both tell each other that they will always try to protect each other, and they will never write the other's name down.

Once Alico finish building their somewhat stable shelter, Mariam tells the tribe that she is a gardener and she knows a lot about plants. The tribe suggests that they go into the forest and look for food with her, as rice won't be enough to eat for 39 days. Mariam informs everybody about each plant they come across until eventually, Mariam finds some hog plums high up in a tree. Nobody volunteers to climb the tree, and everybody stands there looking at each other. Eventually, Sam says, "For goodness sakes guys! I'll just go and climb the tree."

While Sam collects the fruit, Mariam informs the tribe that she will be in charge of the hog plums. She says, "I will hand them out. Only one per person, each day."

At the Qutana camp, they finish building their strong, stable shelter. Even though every tribemate helped out, it was Brick who did the majority of the work, this doesn't go unnoticed. Brick receives a lot of praise from his tribemates. Each one saying that it's the best shelter ever.

Everybody climbs in and lays down in the shelter to get used to it. While some people are still praising Brick, others want to use him

### Day 2

At the Qutana tribe, most people had a reasonably good sleep, however, things were not the same at the Alico camp. Most people didn't get any sleep at all due to the poorly built shelter.

At Qutana, everybody wakes up from an amazing night of sleep. The only thing more that they could need is a way to cook the rice. Once everybody has awoken, the first alliance forms.

**Alexis:** I was thinking, to go far in this game we need each other.
**Brick:** Of course. We have to keep this alliance secret though.
**Alexis:** Yeah. Nobody would suspect us as a pair. The model and the boxer.
**Brick:** Exactly. You have my word.
**Alexis:** Mine too.

After the conversation, Alexis walked to the well by herself. While she was getting water she noticed a small piece of paper under the lid. When she opened it, she saw a clue to the location of a hidden immunity idol.

"I know where this is! Deep in the water means the water well, and the base of the well is made of rocks!" Alexis says aloud. In no time flat, Alexis had almost pulled out every single rock on the water well. She starts to second guess if she was correct about the location. That's when she finds it.

### Day 3

The tribes gather at the immunity challenge. Neither wanting to be the first to lose. Jeff informs them that six people will run through a maze to collect bags of puzzle pieces. Once all six bags have been collected, the remaining two tribemates will solve a puzzle. The first tribe to do so wins immunity. Jeff says, "In addition to immunity, you are playing for reward. The winning tribe will receive fire in the form of flint." Jeff then reveals the tribal immunity idol. A polished, wooden totem.

For Alico, James and Mariam decided to do the puzzle, while for Qutana, Natasha and Chase volunteered to do it. When the challenge starts the twelve contestants run into the maze. Each in different directions. Brick was the first to get a bag. Qutana extended their lead when Alexis and Kyle got their bags. Irvin and Abbey got their bags at the same time. Macy got another bag for Qutana. Eventually, Stephanie and Borris got the last two bags for Qutana, giving them a massive headstart on the puzzle. Skyla, Wilbur, and Sam get 3 bags for Alico, leaving Anita the only one in the maze. While Qutana sorted their puzzle pieces, Anita finally gets the last bag. Alico starts on the puzzle and catches up quickly. James makes rapid work of the puzzle, while Chase and Natasha get more and more confused. James eventually wins immunity and flint for Alico, sending Qutana to tribal council.

At the Qutana camp, each contestant has different ideas. Everybody is panicked because somebody from their tribe will be the dreaded first boot. Brick and Alexis are the first to walk off.

**Alexis:** So who are you going to vote?
**Brick:** I honestly have no idea.
**Alexis:** The challenge today was just bad luck. James is really good at puzzles, so I don't think that strength in challenges matter as much.
**Brick:** We could get rid of Borris? He's our oldest member.
**Alexis:** I agree. Let's vote for him.

Alexis and Brick walk back to a chaotic camp. People are throwing other people's name out left, right and centre. Both Alexis and Brick talk to the others, to vote Borris. Everybody seems onboard.

Borris starts to get suspicious. So he decides to talk to Brick.

**Borris:** Voting me out would be a bad move.
**Brick:** I 100 percent agree.
**Borris:** I was thinking that we vote Natasha. Her performance on the puzzle was horrifying, and she's the youngest member, so I don't imagine she's any better at challenges.
**Brick:** I agree. She's definitely the weakest link.
**Borris:** So you're onboard?
**Brick:** Yeah.

The Qutana tribe then walk off to Tribal Council, about to vote out their first member.

## Tribal Council

When Qutana arrives at Tribal, they each grab a torch and dip it into the flame to get fire. Natasha expresses how annoyed she feels about the tribe targeting her because of her performance. Borris then talked about how it would be a bad move to vote him out, as he was a police officer and can provide lots of challenge strength. Jeff asks if alliances have been made but nobody answers. Jeff then tells the castaways that it is time to vote. Brick is the first person to vote, but his vote is not shown. Stephanie votes next.

Borris then walks to the urn and casts his vote.

Once all of the castaways had voted, Jeff collects the urn. He walks back to the podium, where the contestants look nervous.

**Jeff:** If anybody has a hidden immunity idol and would like to play it, now would be the time to do so.

Nobody says anything. Jeff then reads the votes for the first time this season.

First Vote: Natasha (1)

Borris (1-1)

Borris (1-2)

Borris (1-3)

Borris nods

Borris (1-4)

First Person Voted Out Of Survivor: Guam...

**BORRIS**

Borris walks away without saying a word. Jeff dismisses the tribe and they grab their belongings and start walking back to camp.

 Borris (7)
 Natasha (1)
