## Story

### Day 1

Jeff Probst introduces the Myeik Archipelago in Myanmar, where twenty brand new players will be competing. Two speedboats, one housing each tribe, are headed towards the beach where the game will officially begin, along with their first challenge as new tribes. On this ride, several introductory confessionals are shown from both tribes. First, Jeff introduced the Shin Maw Tribe, wearing gold.

After, Jeff introduced the Pyin Sa Tribe, wearing turquoise.

The Shin Maw Tribe consists of Alex, Brianna, Emmanuel, John, Jonah, Kalyani, Lauren, Liam, Shiloh, and Victoria.

The Pyin Sa Tribe consists of Adora, Alexa, Brandon, Camryn, Eyal, Isabella, Matthew, Mia, Rallin, and Sam.

Jeff gives a brief introduction to everyone, welcoming them to Myanmar and the game. Right after this introduction, Jeff introduces them to the first challenge they will be competing in as new tribes, which requires them to go out in pairs and battle to retrieve a ring and return it to their tribe's scoring pole to score points for their tribe. They were competing for flint.

The first round was a match-up between John and Alex from Shin Maw and Sam and Matthew from Pyin Sa. Both men from Shin Maw went for a defensive strategy to start off the round, but quickly had to change things up as Sam tried to trick them into thinking he was going in one direction but actually going in the other. Alex's quick reflexes followed by John and Alex's combined strength allowed for Shin Maw to score the first point.

The next round was between Kalyani and Victoria from Shin Maw and Alexa and Mia from Pyin Sa. The round started off with Kalyani putting up a good fight against both women from Pyin Sa, but without Victoria's help, Kalyani struggled early. People were growing confused about why Victoria wasn't jumping in to help Kalyani. After a while of just standing there, Victoria finally chose to jump in, and suddenly two one-on-one battles broke out, one between Victoria and Alexa, and the other between Kalyani and Mia. Suddenly, Victoria caught Alexa off guard and tossed the ring into the area between both pairs, and they then broke apart. This didn't last for long, though, as immediately after, all four girls had a hand on the ring. Ultimately, Alexa singlehandedly managed to drag the others towards Pyin Sa's flagpole, scoring them the second point and tying up the scores. Victoria's performance was met with disappointment from her tribemates.

The third round was a match-up between Emmanuel and Lauren from Shin Maw and Eyal and Adora from Pyin Sa. Once again, this round was a close competition at first, but after Adora created a strategy mid-round for her to distract her opponents and have Eyal throw the ring as far as he could towards their tribe's flagpole, Pyin Sa watched as this strategy completely backfired. Emmanuel and Eyal raced to the ring as Adora fought off Lauren, and in the end, Eyal could not catch up to Emmanuel, and Emmanuel scored an easy second point for Shin Maw. Eyal was worried that his reputation was already not doing very well, because Jeff called out the challenge and strategy like it was Eyal's fault that Adora's strategy lost them the point.

On the fourth round, Jonah and Liam from Shin Maw competed against Brandon and Rallin from Pyin Sa. It started with all four men jumbled up in a battle to pull the ring in their own direction, but after Liam impulsively dunked Rallin, sacrificing his own grip on the ring, Brandon was able to secure a relatively easy point for Pyin Sa, despite Jonah's efforts. Pyin Sa tied up the leaderboard once again.

The fifth round saw Brianna and Shiloh from Shin Maw compete against Isabella and Camryn from Pyin Sa. It was another tough physical mix-up between all four competitors, but eventually, Shiloh managed to give Shin Maw some momentum that wasn't going to be easy to break. Isabella tried, but her efforts fell flat, and then disappeared as Brianna and Shiloh gave Shin Maw another point, pulling the tribe back into the lead.

Round six was a match-up between John and Kalyani from Shin Maw and Mia and Sam from Pyin Sa. Sam made it to the ring first, and was in a good spot initially, but Sam and Mia both came up with the strategy for Mia to loosen her opponents' grip so she could toss the ring to Sam and let Sam score an easy point. This strategy immediately crumbled, as Kalyani blocked the throw and then stole the ring. She brought it straight to the flagpole, giving Shin Maw an easy point and securing them reward.

Following the reward challenge, both tribes made it to their camps for the first time. With a motivational boost that came from winning said reward challenge, the Shin Maw Tribe had a very pleasant start to their camp life, and were able to work together quite well to get their shelter started. John, Emmanuel, and Liam bonded over their love of art, and voice their suspicions about Victoria's poor performance in the opening reward challenge. Later in the day, Victoria proposes an alliance with Shiloh and Lauren, both of whom she claims to feel good about. Both agree, but Lauren secretly wishes to make alliances on her own terms rather than being dragged to one, and also believes that a trio will not have a lot of power on a tribe with ten members.

Pyin Sa tried to keep their heads up despite their early loss, and for the most part, succeeded. However, Sam's mood quickly worsened in a short period of time as the tribe tried to work on their shelter. Sam got increasingly bossy with directions related to the shelter, and a few people grew irritated. A unofficial majority alliance with Eyal, Alexa, Camryn, Brandon, Rallin, and Mia began to form on the terms of Brandon, who believed that being in a majority was something he felt would be beneficial no matter how easy the vote was.

As Pyin Sa grew more and more irritated, Shin Maw grew more and more connected. Jonah was able to successfully make fire after a few failed attempts, which was regarded as a major morale booster for the entire tribe, and later on, Alex and Kalyani bonded over Alex's job as a retail worker. Kalyani proposed a duo to Alex due to connecting with him very quickly and believing he was the nicest guy on the tribe.

As night fell, Pyin Sa's shelter remained massively incomplete, despite the progress they had being quite well-done. Alexa and Mia proposed that the tribe set their initial conflicts aside, and focus completely on the shelter in the following morning. Sam caught on who they were talking about, but nobody really worried themselves about that. As people began to drift off to sleep, Rallin voiced his concerns to Eyal over immediately gunning for someone who could prove to be a great asset for the tribe in challenges. Eyal vetoed this concern by telling him what he showed in the opening reward challenge was very lackluster, but Rallin was left with mixed feelings about the decision to eliminate Sam forming so fast.

### Day 2

On Pyin Sa, Adora reflected about a lot of the things she will have to adjust to by living out in the wild on Survivor. Camryn and Sam talked on the beach as the sun rose, and Sam promised to her that he would have a good attitude today, and help the tribe on the shelter. He relayed this promise to the rest of the tribe, and the tribe began working on their shelter. Isabella and Matthew talked about how they felt about the tribe, and shared conflicting views about the possibility of the remaining seven members of the tribe coming together to leave them and Sam on the outs.

Early in the day, while Kalyani, Alex, Victoria, and Brianna were collecting firewood and shelter wood together, John created a majority alliance between himself, Emmanuel, Liam, Lauren, Jonah, and Shiloh. Everybody agreed to the alliance, but Lauren and Jonah voiced their suspicions with one another about John, Emmanuel, and Liam being a potential trio within the new alliance due to the three of them commonly being seen together. Unbeknownst to Lauren, John had the same worries about being perceived as the leader of a trio.

Meanwhile on Pyin Sa, there was some doubt circulating around the tribe regarding Sam and his overly cheery attitude. Rallin believed he was desperate, Isabella believed he was only in such a good mood for the purpose of damage control, but Alexa stated that whether or not Sam was being annoying was more important than if his actions were genuine. Just like on Shin Maw, suspicion was beginning to run its course on the Pyin Sa Tribe, namely with Isabella. Alexa and Adora both felt that Isabella is lazy and does not know what she is doing out in the elements, and consider if they might have to vote Isabella out instead of the planned target, Sam. They formed a duo with one another and agreed to include Mia and make it a trio, as the three strongest women on the tribe. In addition, a few members of the tribe grew worried about the lack of tribal cohesion, and how it may screw them over in the immunity challenge on the following day.

### Day 3

The Shin Maw Tribe starts off the third day by panicking about the tree mail, which none of them have bothered to find over the course of three days in the game. Liam admits he didn't even know what tree mail was, but once Shiloh explains it to him, they go together with Lauren and John to find it. After they find it, the four of them discuss how weird it was that nobody discovered that part of the beach until that point.

Then, they return to the rest of the tribe, and read the tree mail, which read:

*"Fire represents your life in this game,
It's the most important thing you can get.
If your tribe can bring glory to the open flame,
No one will leave the game yet."*

The Shin Maw Tribe, specifically Brianna, discusses their confidence in winning the upcoming immunity challenge, and hopes that they will not have to vote somebody off so early into the game, because they are a strong tribe that has grown to like one another a lot. Shortly after, the tribe joked about their challenge performance abilities (or lack thereof), leaving them all with mixed feelings about how they might do.

The immunity challenge started off with Pyin Sa in the lead, and this lead grew tremendously as Shin Maw forgot one of their planks at shore. However, as their paddling skills were lackluster in comparison to Shin Maw's, Shin Maw managed to catch up to them by the puzzle portion of the challenge. As Camryn and Isabella struggled to complete the puzzle, Shin Maw went from being incredibly far behind to being considerably far ahead, and Shin Maw won the first immunity challenge, thanks to Camryn's inability to solve the last puzzle for Pyin Sa. Annoyed that they lost twice in a row, Sam decided that there was no other person he could vote out besides Camryn.

After the challenge, Pyin Sa returned to camp defeated - especially Camryn, who felt bad for performing poorly in the challenge and leading to Pyin Sa's defeat. Sam and Camryn sit together on a rock, and Sam brings up that he believes she is going home, and will be writing her name down tonight. Camryn is immediately shocked by this, and mentions to him that she believes Isabella should go instead of her, even though she actually believes that Sam himself should be voted off.

Camryn discussed the vote with Adora, Mia, and Alexa, as well as Brandon, who happened to be in earshot and joined the conversation. The three girls seemed to be leaning towards voting out Isabella, but when Sam appeared out of nowhere and explicitly stated that he would be voting Camryn out, they changed their minds and agreed that Sam would be a good person to take out. They laughed at how ridiculous Sam just acted, but Adora caught Sam giving her a very deadly stare. After she asked him what he was doing, he cried and stomped away, causing more laughter and giving the girls even further reason to want to keep Sam.

Rallin and Eyal joined the others after returning from refilling their water canteens, and they joined in with the joking about Sam and agreeing to vote him out of the game, all but guaranteeing that it would indeed be Sam going home that night.

Tribal council started off normal, but after Jeff asked Sam what factors would play into his vote, he stood up on his stool and broke out into a speech about how even though Camryn was one of the only people who didn't treat him like trash, he would still vote for her because it's important to win the challenges. This speech was received very negatively by his tribemates, and Jeff was incredibly shocked. Sure enough, when pen came to parchment, Sam voted against Camryn, but everybody else voted against Sam, and Sam became the first person voted out of the game.

On his way out, Sam called Camryn out for telling him she would vote Isabella, which made Isabella very confused. Jeff gave Pyin Sa their flint, and sent them back to camp.

## Trivia

### Episode Title

* The episode title was said by Emmanuel, in a confessional talking about Victoria's poor performance in the opening reward challenge.

### Other

* Despite the quote not coming from a member of Pyin Sa, it could be argued that this quote would be a great one to describe the events that unfolded on that tribe during this episode, as Sam's incredibly negative first impression on the tribe ultimately cost him the game.
* This is the first ever episode of Wattpad Survivor.
