Maybe I'm a Ghost!

**Maybe I'm a Ghost!** is the season premiere of *Survivor: Ghost Island*.

## Story

Camera shows two boats full of 20 castaways swimming towards Jeff Probst.

A boat pulls up to shore with ten players - Group 1. A second boat pulls up with ten more players - Group 2.

**JP:** We have our twenty... but wait, we're not finished.

From around the bend, a third boat with another players arrive. These are ten returning players. Big surprise from everybody - nobody expected thirty players.

**JP:** Welcome to Survivor. For our 36th season we've brought thirty players with ten returning players. You, the new castaways are dying to win this game as you're one of the most stubborn appliers ever. You've applied for years to be on the show. With ten returning players, you are the players who made it nearly to the Final Tribal Council. You are the payers who were voted out just before some big event or because
of a big event. Each one of you was so blindsided, that the mark is still there. That's why it's hunting you. And it's a **Survivor: Ghost Island**.

Everyone is so excited and nobody knows what to expect.

**JP:** You will now compete in a massive three-way challenge. You've been divided into three groups. Group 1 is Amanda, Henry, Kat, Laney, Lochlan, Luis, Max, Samantha, Sky and Theo. Group 2 is Ana, Coen, Eve, Gabriela, Jackson, Jameson, Kaelyn, Laylah, Reid and Spencer. Group 1 is the returning players. Asia, Brittany, Cesar, Clarke, Greg, Keisha, Libby, Mike, Rivka and Rod. Now it's time for our first immunity challenge. The first wto groups to finish earn the right to compete in this season of Survivor. The last tribe to finish... is out. It's the biggest opening day stakes in the history of Survivor.

Huge reaction from groups. They don't know what to say. Jeff is being serious with this as he explains the rules of the challenge. Then three groups prepare themselves for it. Jeff reminds everybody that the losing group is out for good. The challenge begins.

The challenge starts. Group 1 has an early lead. After some time, they have a lot of trouble which makes Group 2 being in the lead. Returning Players Group try to stay in it. In the end Group 2 wins immunity as they finish first. It's now the battle between Group 1 and Returning Players Group. Returning Players finish second which makes Group 1 being eliminated for good. The losing group is completely dejected. Tears, frustration, a few carry their heads high. Jeff talks to the losing group about how it feels to sacrifice so much and be already out of the game. Amanda says that as a huge fan she was ready to do everything to stay in this game and right now she's clueless. Max also says he's a super fan, he applied several times and it's devastating for him to go home now.

**JP:** Now let's get to our second twist of the game. Adressing the losing tribe: before I send you home, you have opportunity to stay in the game. You can swap one of the spots with the winners of any group. You will compete in a duel: Chimney Sweep. If you beat in the challenge this person, you take his spot and you join the group. But at the same time, if you pick somebody from returning players group and you lose, this person is going to become a first member of the second tribe. 10 people that aren't going to be choosen by you to compete, they will create the first tribe - Tavewa. The second tribe is going to be made based on the challenge and the tribe's name is Molavu. You can secretly pick a challenge partner. If somebody's name is going to repeat itself, the safe player is choosing who is he fighting with, so the other person has to choose last a different comeptitor for the challenge.

They have a minute to right a name and battle someone.

**JP:** Alright. It's time to show me who are you going to compete against. It's your last chance to stay in the game.

Amanda shows Jackson's name.

Henry shows Keisha's name.

Kat shows Laylah's name.

Laney shows Rod's name.

Lochlan shows Asia's name.

Luis shows Keisha's name.

Max shows Reid's name.

Samantha shows Greg's name.

Sky shows Asia's name.

Theo shows Eve's name.

Because both Henry and Luis picked Keisha as her opponent Keisha is going to decide who is she going to fight against. Keisha picks Luis. Henry needs to pick another person. He picks Clarke. Because both Lochlan and Sky picked Asia, she gets to decide who she's going to fight against. Asia picks Sky. Lochlan needs to pick another person. He picks Rivka.

Before the challenge, because Ana, Coen, Gabriela, Jameson, Kaelyn, Spencer, Brittany, Cesar, Libby and Mike were not picked, they are going to be a part of Tavewa tribe.

The duels begin. It's such a stress for people fighting. First person to drop is Luis. He's eliminated so Keisha joins the Molavu tribe. After 6 minutes Sky drops, so Asia joins the Molavu tribe. 8 minutes in the challenge Laney drops, so Rod joins the Molavu tribe. Laney is a third eliminated.

13 minutes in the challenge. Reid drops. Max joins the Molavu tribe. Max shouts he's going to have a revenge.

There's still:

Amanda vs. Jackson

Katalina vs. Laylah

Samantha vs. Greg

Theo vs. Eve

Henry vs. Clarke

Lochlan vs. Rivka

After 16 minutes Laylah slips.. Everyone is shocked that Katalina beat her. Laylah is eliminated and Katalina joins the Molavu tribe. After 18 minutes Amanda starts to cry. She's dying to win this. Out of nowhere Theo drops, so Eve stays alive.

There's still four spots left.

Amanda vs. Jackson

Samantha vs. Greg

Henry vs. Clarke

and Lochlan vs. Rivka

Henry drops out of nowhere after 19 minutes. He's pissed off. Clarke feels reliefed. Only Greg and Rivka are fighting from the returning players. Greg was once eliminated before the game started, in *Blood vs. Water*.

Amanda drops after 21 minutes. She cries. Jackson is happy to beat her.

It's only Samantah vs. Greg and Lochlan vs. Rivka. Only two of them are going to join the Molavu tribe.

It's 38 minute of the challenge. Lochlan shakes. He finally drops. Rivka is so glad to join the game.

The final duel is Samantha vs. Greg. Samantha says Greg should drop as she's a personal trainer and she can be her for a long time. Greg says he's not going to give up.

It's 53rd minute of the challenge. Everybody is calm but... suddenly Samantha drops! Greg joins the Molavu tribe! We have our two tribes! Only Katalina and Max survived from the losing team.

Jeff says goodbye to the losers. He congratulates the two tribes and hands out buffs to them. He offers now the reward challenge. Everybody is so exhausted right now, but they're ready to fight for the reward.

Jeff explains the rules of the challenge. A designed runner will have to race through a set of obstacles to dig up three sets of keys. Then a designated puzzle solver will need to use the keys to unlock a sliding puzzle. The first person to finish their puzzle wins reward for the tribe. The reward is a massive shelter building kit. The losing tribe will be forced to forfeit their fishing kit. However, if the Tribe Leader decides that they want to forfeit the challenge during the puzzle-solving portion, their tribe will get to keep their fishing kit, but the opposing tribe will then get 20 eggs and flint in addition to the shelter building kit. Everybody gets ready.

The challenge starts. Rivka is chosen as leader of Molavu. Gabriela wants to be a leader of Tavewa so bad. So they let her. Rivka picks Keisha as the runner and Clarke as the puzzle solver. Gabriela picks Mike as a runner and Libby as the puzzle solver. Gabriela forfeits the challenge for Tavewa to keep the fishing kit. MOLAVU wins REWARD! They win a massive shelter building kit.
They also win twenty eggs and flint. Jeff then explains the Ghost Island twist. Then both tribes are going to their camps.

## Story

### Day 1

The Molavu tribe arrive at their beach. Everyone comments on how hard was to have three challenges in a row.

Jackson tells everyone that he's a huge fan but the returning players should teach them about building the shelter. Rod wants to help and Keisha is also ready to show how it should be done.

Rod, Rivka and Asia talk in the woods while collecting items for building the shelter. Rod tells them how good it is to have 6 returning players in this tribe. Rivka agrees. Asia says she thinks it's better to have some strong newbies by their side. Rod says he likes Max, because he feels like he's a loyal player. They agree. Asia also says she thinks Eve would be cool to work with. Rivka tells them that they have this threesome, but nobody can say a thing.

On Tavewa beach, the castaways are getting along with each other. Newbies are really happy to see the returning players. Cesar jokes that usually people hate to have returning players back. Gabriela says they have the best returning players here so she's happy. Ana asks Brittany how it is to be back after so many years of not playing. Brittany laughs saying she feels like she plays for the first time.

The guys started to work on their shelter. Kaelyn and Ana are chatting in the woods. Kaelyn asks Ana how she feels about their tribe. Ana thinks it's a great group, but they have to be careful for people like Libby and Brittany. Kaelyn agrees. Ana says she trusts Cesar and Mike because they are good guys, but Libby once was a villain. Kaelyn thinks it's good that they have more newbies than returning players. Ana says the are going to do good.

### Day 2

Molavu tribe woke up in a not good mood. Rain was a tough thing to overcome last night as it's raining now again. Kat leaves in the woods as she's not feeling well. Rivka wants to help her so she goes to her too.

Rivka hugs Kat and tells her not to worry. Kat says she's feeling exhausted and beated by the weather. Rivka tells her it's going to be better, first 8 days are always hard to do. Kat is greatful for Rivka's help.

Max wonders where Rivka and Kat went. Eve says Kat has some troubles with being here. Asia comments it's an easy vote then.

Eve stands up and goes to Rivka and Kat to talk with them. Eve asks Kat about how she feels. Kat says it's hard for her as she starts to cry. Eve says that she should go back to their camp, because Asia starts to make the tribe mad about her going for a while.

Kat leaves, but Rivka asks Eve can they talk. Eve listens. Rivka says that she feels sorry for Kat, but she was talking with Asia yesterday and they would really love to work with Eve. Eve is on board. Rivka says she wants to bring Max and Rod too. Eve is fine with this. They hug.

Back on Tavewa, the tribe continues to work on the shelter. The wind makes it very hard to finish it before the night. Coen and Spencer try to make a fire, but they don't have a flint. They don't know how should they make it.

Libby, Cesar and Mike are talking in the woods. Libby tells them that she knows she has a bad reputation because of being a villain, but she thinks everyone saw *Heroes vs. Villains* as she was very loyal to her people. Cesar laughs that her tribe was probably the worst in the Survivor history. Libby agrees. She thinks she wants to work with loyal people like them. Mike says he's on board considering there's only 4 returning players in the tribe. Cesar says he would not tell Brittany about their alliance, because she's a good talker and she can easly tell newbies about them. Libby agrees.

Later on, Libby and Jameson are going for the water. Libby asks Jameson what he does for a living. Jameson says he's a bank manager, but people always think that bank managers are not trustworthy. Libby says she really likes Jameson and she says the same thing is with lawyers as she's the one. Jameson asks Libby about alliances in the game. Libby says she thinks it's going to be newbies vs. returning players so she has a huge problem. Jameson says he doesn't think it's going to be that way, he wants to work with Libby. She says it's good, but she doesn't trust Brittany. Jameson feels fine about it.

### Day 3

Both tribe arrive on today's Immunity Challenge. Jeff explains the rules. Each tribe will have to race across a net bridge to where two bags are hanging. Working together, they will then need to untie the bags to get a pair of ropes. Using the ropes, the tribe will need to slide a sled full of giant puzzle pieces through a course. At the end of the course, they will need to solve a cube puzzle to win immunity. They have some time to prepare themselves. The challenge starts. In the end Molavu wins immunity leaving Tavewa without a fire and they must attend Tribal Council tonight. Before they leave, Molavu tribe has to pick somebody from Tavewa to go to Ghost Island. This is going to be the first person to do so. They pick Ana. Ana is surprised. Jeff explains that Ana is not going to attend Tribal Council tonight. Everyone is shocked. Ana leaves to Ghost Island and both tribes go to their beaches.

Ana arrives on Ghost Island. She's really confused of what she sees.

Ana looks around and she's really surprised by the relics that she sees. She finall sees the urns with caption "smash the urn". She walks towards it and smashes it. She reads "game on. Follow the fire". She does so. She then reads "I'll wager a secret advantage if you'll wager your next vote. If you'll win, you get a power in this game, if you'll lose you're not going to vote next Tribal Council. Feeling lucky?"

Tavewa tribe comes back from Immunity Challenge. Jameson is mad about still not having a fire. Kaelyn says she hasn't eaten in three days now. Brittany she's not the only one. Gabriela talks about how they should cooperate next time.

Libby talks with Jameson and Cesar about Kaelyn doing really bad in the challenge. Jameson says that Kaelyn and Gabriela are worthless in this tribe. Libby says maybe it should be one of them tonight.

Brittany and Libby are talking in the woods. Brittany asks what Libby is thinking. Libby says that she thinks returning players are safe for this vote, because Gabriela is making guys really mad at her for trying so hard to be some kind of a leader, but Kaelyn is doing nothing.

Mike joins the conversation with Libby and Brittany. Mike says Jameson and Coen are really mad at Gabriela. Libby wonders is Gabriela a threat to their game. Brittany thinks that Gabriela may join them, because nobody really wants to work with her, Kaelyn however has a charm and maybe she's smart too.

Libby, Brittany and Gabriela are talking. Brittany tries to explain Gabriela that she's making guys really mad. Gabriela is surprised to find this out, because she wants to help everybody. Libby says that she thinks it should be Kaelyn tonight, so let's just vote together. Gabriela asks do they have enough numbers. Libby says that with Gabriela they do.

Kaelyn talks with Coen by the beach. She asks him what he thinks. Coen says that he thinks it would be smart to target a returning player like Brittany, because she's weak. But at the same time, Gabriela is making everyone mad so it would be good for them to vote her out, because there would be still 5 newbies against 4 returning players. Kaelyn agrees, she tells Coen that Ana is going to vote with them when she's going to be back from Ghost Island.

Kaelyn, Jameson and Spencer are talking. Kaelyn says that she thinks everyone is considering Gabriela to go. Jameson says he knows that Cesar and Mike are pissed off too about her. Spencer says it's only about the challenge performance, it's these 3 days performance, Gabriela lost them the reward challenge on Day 1 and she talks too much. Kaelyn says that's the reason why she should go.

The Tavewa tribe goes to Tribal Council. At Tribal Council there's a lot of talking about Kaelyn's performance on the Immunity Challenge and Gabriela's behaviour. The voting begins and in the end by a vote of 7-2 Kaelyn is voted out.
