I'm Giving Pandora's Box

**I'm Giving Pandora's Box** is the first episode of *Survivor: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers*.

## Story

Jeff Probst, the host, announces that Survivor, the greatest social experiment is back. Eighteen strangers are about to begin a 39-day adventure that will forever change their lives. They will be abandoned on an island and forced to work together while voting each other out. At the end, only one person will remain to claim the million dollar prize. The anchor is dropped on a beautiful white sailboat with the 18 contestants on board. Jeff welcomes them to the 35th season of Survivor. He tells them that for the first time, they have been divided into three tribes based on the positive traits most associated with them by others. Jeff informs the first group of six that they are the Heroes tribe. This group is heralded for their courage, achievements and for the ideals for which they stand.

 Janessa

Jeff then introduces the Healers tribe. They receive gratitude for their acts of service in helping others heal their physical or emotional pain.

 Marjorie

The third tribe is the Hustlers tribe, whose members are respected for their hard work ethic. They get things done, no matter what it takes.

 Sierra

Jeff passes out the tribe buffs, and reveals the tribe names: the Heroes, wearing blue, are Savu; the Healers, wearing yellow, are Yadra; the Hustlers, wearing red, are Dodonu. He then points out that the boat they are on is loaded with supplies. Their job is to get as many of these supplies from this boat to their tribe's boat. Jeff then tells them there is an even bigger reward at stake. On the beach nearby, each tribe has an urn which is on fire and is 15 feet in the air. When Jeff rings the bell on the boat, each tribe must stop gathering supplies and get all six tribe members on their boat and paddle to the beach. When they get to shore, they must lift one person high enough to light their torch. The first tribe to light their torch wins fire in the form of a massive fire-making kit that will be waiting for them back at camp. The second tribe to light their torch wins a flint. The losers will go to camp with no fire.

Jeff tells them that Survivor: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers has now begun. With that, they all jump up and start throwing supplies overboard toward their boats. Fruits, vegetables, crates, and people are just some of the things landing in the water. Wynter is thrilled to find a package label "Secret Advantage" among the supplies. She quickly hides it in her pants. Jeff then rings the bell and everyone scrambles to get the supplies and themselves into their tribe boats, so they can head towards the beach and get fire. Yadra arrives at the beach first. The Savu tribe is close behind them. Yadra lifts Kendall up to light their torch from the urn of fire above. Savu lifts up Kelsey to light their torch. Meanwhile, Dodonu is having a hard time getting their boat to shore. Yadra gets fire first and win the massive fire-making kit. Savu gets fire next and win the flint to make fire. Dodonu are just now approaching the beach. They will go to their camp with no fire making equipment. Jeff sends everyone off in their boats with a map to their tribe camps.

### Day 1

As Yadra approaches their beach, they see a huge bonfire waiting for them at their camp. They are excited to have won the first challenge and the coveted fire reward.

Ty is very excited about the division into Healers, Heroes, Hustlers. He's glad to be a Healer. Corinne is very excited to hear what everybody does for a living. Phil starts to talk about him being a nomad and how proud of it he is. Deacon and Corinne want to hear about it more. Phil starts to talk about his story of becoming nomad.

After Phil's speech, Deacon starts to talk about him being a window cleaner, but he helps only people who have disabilities, so they can't clean their houses on their own. Everybody starts telling Deacon that he has a great heart.

Healers starts to build their shelter.

Over at Savu tribe, the castaways are talking about their jobs too. Caspian is happy to have great people in his tribe. Leo starts to talk about building shelter as he takes the lead of a construction process.

While building the shelter, Cece tells Leo how much she appreciates his job. Cece tells Leo about her dad being a soldier and how she appreciates what people from army do for their country. Leo tells Cece he's very happy to hear it and he tells her that she's really good person that he wants to work with.

Leo works to make a fire. Charles wants to help him as he's a firefighter so he talks about having a lot in common with fire. Leo doesn't even respond to Charles as he continues to work for the tribe.

Dodonu are at their camp working on a shelter. Sierra talks how mad she is about losing the first challenge. Nataly says it was terrible to have so much problems at their first competition.

Later on, Wynter finally has a chance to read her "Secret Advantage" that she has found on the boat. She is thrilled to find out that she has a super Immunity Idol that can be played after the votes are read. This advantage can only be used at the first Tribal Council so if her tribe does not go to the first Tribal Council, she must send it to someone on the losing tribe. The recipient will not know that Wynter gave it to them.

### Day 2

At Yadra, everyone is working to perfect their shelter and camp. While working on a shelter, Phil starts to sing his songs. Ty and Marjorie are getting tired of it.

Ty and Phil talk in the woods. Ty starts to tell him that his singing and talking about nomad stories is making people crazy. Phil is shocked to find this out. Ty tells him he should play more calm game and Ty is telling this to Phil because he wants to help him. Phil tells Ty that he appreciates it and that Ty's right about his singing and making other noises. They shake hands.

Over at Savu, Leo still is working very hard around camp. Janessa whispers to Kelsey should they tell him to stop. Kelsey laughs about it and tells Janessa they should let him, because he's so into it.

Suddenly Leo stops working. Cece asks Leo does he want some water. Leo says he needs to rest. Everybody sees that Leo doesn't look good. From nowhere, Leo passes out and has problems with breathing. All of the tribemates run towards Leo to help him. Doctor Joe arrives to help him. Leo starts to breath and feels better as he was dehydrated. Dr Joe tells Leo that he needs to rest more. Janessa tells Leo that everybody appreciates his work, but he need to let everybody else work. Leo whispers he wanted to help his team. Then Dr Joe helps Leo with standing up as he has to go to shelter and lay down for a while.

Kelsey, Charles and Janessa are talking in the woods. Kelsey is talking about how fake it was by Leo. Charles thinks Leo is working too hard. Janessa agrees. Kelsey thinks she knows his fainting was not fake, but his love about working around camp is fake. Charles says it was all to convince people he's good. Kelsey starts to talk about how great would it be if this threesome of herself, Charles and Janessa would work together. Charles and Janessa agree on that.

Martin and Nataly are talking watching the sunrise. They talk about their children and families. They're spending a great time together.

Nataly tells Martin that they need to stick together, because Sierra and Wynter are spending a lot of time together, so they may create an alliance with Troy and Gary. Martin says he knows that they're much younger, so this may be a criteria.

Martin spends some time with Troy talking about the game. Troy says he thinks this first challenge was just a failure, because they will do good. Martin agrees saying the have a good team, but they need to make some deals. Troy says he's ok about Martin. Martin tells Troy he's not going to betray him, but he needs to trust him.

### Day 3

Jeff welcomes the tribes to the first Immunity Challenge. They will race up a cargo net to the top of a tower. Each tribe will then pull a heavy cart up the tower, then hop in and quickly roll down to the bottom. At the bottom will be three different table mazes. The first tribe to reach the mazes will get first choice of which maze they want to tackle. The second tribe will get to choose between the remaining two mazes. The last tribe will be left with the maze that remains. Next, they will work together as a tribe to get their maze to the top of an even taller tower. Once at the top of the tower, two players from each tribe will maneuver three balls through their maze. The first two tribes to finish win immunity.

Jeff uncovers the two Immunity Idols. In addition, Dodonu is still playing for fire in the form of flint. Jeff then informs everyone that revotes at Tribal Council are back this season.

The challenge begins and all three tribes race to get up their cargo nets to the top of the first tower. Everyone gets to the top quickly and starts pulling a rope to bring their carts up the tower so they can jump in them and get down to the bottom. Savu get to the mazes before the rest and have the first choice among the three mazes and choose the traditional maze. Yadra arrives next and they choose the obstacle maze. Dodonu get there last and are left with the remaining rail maze. All three tribes work hard to get their heavy table mazes up a very tall tower. Savu makes it up first, followed by Yadra, and then Dodonu. They set up their mazes and begin maneuvering them to get their three balls to the end.

Caspian and Kelsey work the maze for Savu, while Martin and Wynter work Dodonu's maze. Corinne and Phil are the operators of the Yadra maze and they are the first ones to get a ball to the finish. Savu and then Dodonu land their first balls next. Then suddenly Savu is in the lead and are the first to land their second and final balls, which wins immunity for their tribe. In a close race for second, both Yadra and Dodonu are trying to land their third and final balls in the last slot. In the end, Yadra gets the job done first and win immunity and flint. Dodonu come in last and will go to Tribal Council to vote someone out. Before heading back to camp. As she leaves the challenge, Wynter now knows that her tribe is going to Tribal Council and that she may use her advantage tonight.

As the Dodonu tribe returns to camp, everyone feels terrible that they have to vote someone out of the game. Martin thinks it has to be between Sierra or Wynter tonight. He talks about it with Nataly. She agrees on this idea.

Nataly and Martin are talking with Troy about voting out Sierra or Wynter tonight. Troy is ok with this idea. In the same time Sierra, Wynter and Gary sit on the camp as Wynter sees Troy talking with Nataly and Martin. She tells Gary and Sierra that they're scheming against them. Sierra says Nataly is too close with guys. Gary says she hasn't talked with him yet. Wynter says let's do Nataly tonight.

Later on, Sierra talks with Troy about Nataly. Sierra tells him she saw them talking. Troy feels awkward about Sierra's questions. Troy tells her Nataly approached him about tonight's vote. Sierra asks Troy who is she voting against. Troy says she should talk with Nataly, because he feels bad about talking strategy. Sierra laughs that Troy is having an alliance with Nataly. Troy says he doesn't. Sierra says he's lying and she leaves Troy.

Wynter talks with Troy and Martin. She asks them what Sierra was talking about with Troy. Troy says Sierra's so paranoid about tonight's vote. Wynter says that Sierra's worried about her game. Martin asks Wynter what she wants to do. Wynter says she doesn't know yet.

Wynter and Sierra are talking with Gary about tonight's vote. Sierra says she's sure that Troy is going to vote with them against Nataly. Gary says that's great, because they have majority. Wynter says they shouldn't tell Martin about Nataly, because Martin is really close with her. Gary thinks the same way as he says he's not going to tell Martin about Nataly going home.

At Tribal Council there is a huge fight between Sierra and Nataly. Nataly calls Sierra a brat while Sierra says Nataly is controlling men from this tribe and nobody sees it. In the end it's 4-2 with 4 votes against Sierra and 2 votes against Nataly, but Wynter didn't use her super idol what made Sierra being first person voted out.
