I know.

It is a land virtually untouched.

by the modern world. For the next 39 days, these 16 strangers will be left to

fend for themselves, forced to create a new society while battling the elements

and each other. They must learn to adapt or they'll be voted out of the tribe.

In the end, only one will remain to claim the million -dollar prize.

39 days, 16 people, one survivor.

As this truck rolls closer to its remote destination, these 16 Americans begin

the adventure of a lifetime.

They have never spoken to each other and have been divided into two competing

tribes named after the people of this land.

The Samburu tribe, which will always wear red, consists of Silas Gaither, a

-year -old bartender from Germantown, Tennessee.

Kim Powers, a 29 -year -old freelance marketer from Conshohocken,

Oregon. Frank Garrison, a 43 -year -old father and telephone technician from

Odessa, New York.

Brandon Quinton, a 25 -year -old bartender from Dallas, Texas.

And Teresa Cooper, a 42 -year -old mother and flight attendant from

Georgia.

The Buran tribe, which will always wear gold, consists of Ethan Zahn, a 27 -year

-old professional soccer player from Lexington, Massachusetts.

Kelly Goldsmith, a 22 -year -old behavioral research analyst from Rancho

Fe, California.

Tom Buchanan, a 45 -year -old father and goat farmer from Rich Valley, Virginia.

Kim Johnson, a 57 -year -old grandmother and retired schoolteacher from Oyster

Bay, New York. Lex Vandenberg, a 38 -year -old father and marketing manager

Santa Cruz, California.

Diane Ogden, a 42 -year -old mother and U .S. mail carrier from Lincoln,

Nebraska. Clarence Black, a 24 -year -old high school basketball coach from

Detroit, Michigan. And Jesse Camacho, a 27 -year -old deputy sheriff from

Orlando, Florida.

bye bye

It's important that you decide as a group which supplies you can carry. Use

wisely and rationed carefully because this may be all that you get for the

39 days. Do we want music?

As you begin your new world, remember this.

The animals can be extremely dangerous.

Farming will be essential to your survival.

We got tomatoes.

We're going on safari, not a garden adventure.

Take all the water you can carry because the water at your camp must first be

boiled. The map shows the way to the abandoned village dwelling that will be

your new home. It is a long hike and there is much work to do before

Be very careful. This can be a harsh

and unfriendly land.

I think to carry that much water plus our gourds filled is a huge amount of

weight.

We have enough water for all day. Do we just leave that in our gourds? Yeah, I

would empty it out.

There were three jugs of water, and we took two of them and dumped them out

because they were just too heavy to carry.

We would have had to sacrifice the canned goods and a lot of the other

that we thought we couldn't replace.

And we figured we ultimately would get a source of water.

All right, you good?

Diane was the one in charge of the map. Don't know if it was the best choice,

but she seemed confident. Which I would say was the first issue of our tribe was

the map problem.

Can't be carrying this damn thing and not be going in the right direction.

All right, here we go, boys.

I live on a farm, and the first sheep jumps in a hole, the rest of them fall.

And here we were, following this blonde girl, zigzagging through the desert,

saying, I think we're this way.

Okay, we're going right now.

Diane, Diane, you're angling off a little bit.

Left a little.

The straight line, Diane, right in front of me.

Hold up, hold up, Diane.

All right.

Let's pick it up.

I don't necessarily want the command.

I just want to get a start.

I agree.

I carry mail, so I just kind of went at my pace, which is probably faster than

most people, and I got way out there and then ended up having to wait.

And then we plug on through.

All right, we're coming. Here we come.

Oh, yeah.

Is this better for you?

Yeah, I got the cornmeal in my face, so I can't put it on my shoulders, but I'm

just holding up with my arms, and when I get tired, I'll have somebody move the

cornmeal.

What's the matter?

Okay, yell up. Let me, uh... All right, you got it, my man?

Let's put it up on our shoulders.

Take it up. What do you think?

What do you think, Brandon?

I think that'll be fine. How tall are you?

And my shoulders are not that tall and wide as this either.

You guys all right?

Let's rock and roll.

So how was the walk? I mean, did you feel comfortable moving along, you know,

a good pace?

Everything? Absolutely no.

Brandon! What's your luxury item?

Yep, ma 'am, what?

What's your luxury item?

Uh, it's chopsticks.

All right, are we ready?

You're serious? Yes.

You rock!

Now, I'm back there, you know, JCPenney, this is what I bought. Did you see that

guy? Yeah, he's so cute. Oh, I'm having these problems at home.

Let's go to my period.

Oh, man.

No wonder I have cramps.

Excuse me, Africa, you know, we're not down at the mall here, you know.

It's outside with a... with a latte here or something. Let's just get moving

along.

Frank is like a big, strong ex -army guy, and when we were hiking, he was

block away from us, just trooping on all by himself, and the rest of us are all

in a pack back there. And he would, like, stop and wait for us, and you

tell he was really put out.

I know. I'll keep moving.

Yeah, socialize later.

We can laugh later around the campfire. And I'm like, dude, we're not all like

you. I mean, it's like no compassion at all for the rest of us. At all.

Whoa.

You all right? Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Every time we stop, it gets heavier.

All right, just keep going straight, man.

Check it out. Check it out.

survivor flag. It's just not real until you're here.

And seeing that flag, everyone just wanted to pass out, of course.

You know, then Frank was all yelling at us to pick up the pace now that we saw

the flag.

Come on, guys, pick it up. Sun's going down.

And we're just dragging ourselves to get there, so.

Frank, what branch of service were you in? I was in the American branch.

Oh, freedom.

This traditional African dwelling is in serious need of repair.

The Manyana hut is made of wood, grasses, and manure. The thorn -bama

your only protection against lions and other predators.

There are three things you must do immediately.

One, make sure your fence is secure.

Two, keep a fire burning all night. Beautiful.

Three, always keep two people awake on the lookout for animals that hunt at

night. I'm the first one up tonight. For water, follow your map to the spring

that will share with a local game. You must boil it before drinking.

Got it. Frank, you on that?

These don't hurt. This doesn't hurt.

He's beefing it up to its uniform.

There's a lot more of those trees. You don't have to venture out in the bush.

Just come around the corner.

He's just the biggest kid you've ever met. Pretty much is.

Just keep smiling.

That's what I'm doing.

Well, Frank, he was trying to hurry us along, and that's not my style. I like

bond. I like to talk to people.

That's awesome. This is also a time where I want to enjoy some of it. I

want to. I'm not military. I don't.

I don't need it in my life. I don't need all that structure. You know, I think

we'll get stuff done without having like every single thing be a rule and every

single thing be single file. That's just not me.

We'll get through those. How full are they?

This one's full.

This one here is not. It's like maybe half, maybe not that.

Well, right now we have a really drastic water situation. We have no fire yet.

and we broke three gourds on the way on the hike. The gourds are very fragile,

and we lost a cap on one of them. And apparently when you don't cap the water

that's in the gourd, it turns into, like, turpentine.

Oh, so bad.

I mean, we've got to get water, like, in the next hour, or we're just going to

be so screwed.

There's one of those deadly giraffes.

Giraffe.

Don't mess with the tamburo tampanos.

This is really the mother continent for me. I don't know if this makes any

sense, but Mother Africa. And I've been here before, and I have tremendous

respect. And when the tribe was joking about the Tambourinos or, you know, the

tampon in Tambourou, my reaction to that insight, I was thinking, oh, my God,

that is so disrespectful.

The Tambourou people, you know, civilization, ages and ages ago, do you

where you are? This is where it all started, folks, in Africa.

It's so thick.

I mean, it's just covered in crap.

Jeez. I don't even want to touch the water.

You know what I mean?

This all looks pretty stuck. Yeah.

Whatever we're doing, we've got to get our water and get out of here.

You guys seen food in here?

The water is disgusting.

I'm terrified.

It's sick. I mean, I was filling it up, and it's this deep.

So you get water mixed with crud.

We're pulling water out of a very, like, murky tadpoles are running all over it,

like pond scum kind of little water hole. So the water is contaminated, and

has to be boiled for at least five minutes over a fire before we can drink

You have to have the fire.

And even the Maasai tribesmen said, without the fire, you can't live in this

land. Fire is not for warmth, whatever one would think of right away, or

security right away, but the water has to be boiled three to five minutes. It

has to be purified for us to drink.

Okay, hold it. See, now look.

Feel the tip. I bet you it's hot. God dang.

We thought we'd get a fire faster, of course, than we did.

As hard as we were working, we just couldn't seem to get it. And then, of

course, we were tired from the long day.

It was getting dark, and we still kept trying and trying, even when it was

to try to get the fire going. And that was, you know, a big frustration.

You happy, Frank?

You're too hard on yourself. You got up here. You should be very happy. We are.

I spend nine months of softness in my mother's womb.

It's hard when they come out.

Wait a minute, wait a minute. Hold it for me, Frank. You do, it's exercise of

utility. You push the rod down.

What happened? We're broke, broke, broke.

Oh, it's so hot. Can't you try it? Hot?

Oh.

I don't think anybody, unless they've been put in a situation like this,

know how much water your body really needs.

I mean, I really need water right now. I really do. I'm so dehydrated.

I'm hearty right now.

Now look what we want to do is get it deep enough where we stick it. Now you

your ice back here.

Right where I am, get right here. Hey guys, you got to be quick because this

place isn't safe.

Okay.

We need to get our water.

I know exactly what I'm doing here.

We got water.

Without fire, you can't boil the water.

Anybody knows that you don't just belly up to the stream that you're camping

next to, drop your canteen in it, and drink the water. If you don't boil your

water out here, you end up with what they call amoebic dysentery, which

basically has you puking and crapping your guts out.

It's getting worse. I got another one that's about to open up.

Yeah, you can keep it up.

You can get at it. Am I doing anything?

It's not getting on.

We do realize that after we give it everything we have and it's challenging,

win. We're going to still have it.

We're going to be happy with, you know, all eight of us sons of bitches might

pass out.

It's fine. If we pass out next to a fire, it's going to be the best leave I

had. You know, it doesn't sound possible, but we could go another whole

without it. That's what I said.

That's what I said. You know,

we may be a little dehydrated, but it's not like we're going to die or

something.

Is that Jill? I just opened the medical kit. I don't think anybody's opened it

up. Who is Linda?

Yeah? It's your birthday.

It's your birthday, honey.

I knew it was going to be in here.

Kim and somebody, I think Linda just decided to open the medical kit to see

was in there.

You know, tampons and stuff that we need.

In the medical kit, there just happened to be a telescope for us to watch out

for animals.

I don't know a lot about telescopes, but I know that a magnifying glass can

start a fire, and I had no idea whether or not that was a magnifying glass. But

I unscrewed the telescope, pulled out the lens, and Silas was right there. And

was like, Silas, isn't there something we can do with this?

That sucker's hot. Yeah.

Does your arm hurt? Would it help if I put my hand under your elbow?

No, it's okay.

Oh, my God. Okay, let's... Do we have a little fire?

No, no, no. Don't... Like, just don't jinx this. Let's just get this damn

smoldering. Oh, you dumb... It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.

You're doing so well. It's fine.

Careful. Nurse it. Nurse it. Really gently. Really gently.

Okay, don't inhale. That's enough, dude.

Careful. I have a little fire right there.

Once you get a flame, bring it over here.

Do not pass out.

Oh, my God, dude.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Just keep blowing.

There you go. There you go.

Give me some more. Back up, back up, back up.

Come over here. Come over here.

Do we need to put this on top of it or set this upside down on it? How do you

it?

Oh, my God. Get Frank and those guys. It's done. You guys, come here. We got

fire. Quick, quick.

Frank. Hurry.

Hey, hey, hey. Frank.

Hey.

That thing, that thing. Right here, right here, right here.

Put the hay on it. Put the hay on it.

Holly. Yes.

You got it, baby.

Oh, my God.

Get down from the side. Don't give her space directly over.

Come on, Frankie.

Give me something.

Come on, buddy.

Anyone had water today at all?

Maybe I should try to find us a can of cherries. We didn't have canned goods.

Are you kidding me right now? We'd have no moisture.

You guys all cool with that? All right.

We open a can of cherries, get some sugar energy, and we all sit down in a

circle, take a cherry, pass it, one cherry, pass it on.

Everybody get a cherry. Everybody get in a circle, you guys. Look at these

things. Look at those things. Whoever said keep all the canned goods, win.

Well, then we'll go. Go in order.

I was eyeing people just because I want my equal share of cherries. I mean, it's

so silly. We're talking about cherries here because we're starving.

And I definitely, definitely saw Clarence take two cherries at one time

it around him. I mean, it's so tempting in there to take two.

Everyone's got to take one cherry and pass it on. And I saw him take two,

is an issue.

No, and we'll see. Oh, check it out. What is this?

Is this mail?

Right. I've got to take this home with me.

Hey, guys, we have mail.

Mail.

You survived your first night. Can you prevail or be left in the dust?

As you blaze a trail, oh, the dreaded first challenge, you know you must win

the game may be over before you begin.

How's it going, guys?

Let's talk about the first night.

Ron, how'd you do with fire? Almost there.

No fire?

No fire.

Sam Burrow, how'd you guys do with fire?

We got it today. We got fire. We got fire.

We did.

What's one of the things you're playing for tonight?

Fire. You win tonight, you keep them another night without fire.

Here's the other thing you're playing for. Probably as important, immunity.

I want everybody to get a feel of this. This is the immunity idol.

You want this in your possession as often as possible.

Win this challenge, you guys have immunity.

Lose, you're coming to see me tomorrow night at Tribal Council where one of you

will be the first person voted out of the tribe.

Here's how the challenge works. Each of you has a cart. Your goal is to light

the three fire towers on your way to the finish line. First tower is across the

bridge. Second one is atop that mountain. One member of your tribe will

climb up.

Last tower.

down on the beach first tribe to light all the towers and cross the finish line

with all their members wins fire wins immunity and wins one of these carts

you can then use to transport firewood water all right take your spots wait for

my start this is for fire and immunity survivors ready

More importantly, you guys are safe from tomorrow night's vote.

Guys, tough challenge. I know it's hard to see a tribe member go down.

Tomorrow night, you'll still have the unfortunate appointment with me at

Council. You'll get fired, though. You'll get fired tomorrow night.

But it's going to cost you somebody.

Yeah, we'll take a walk to the spring.

We'll bring back our water.

Leslie, do you need me to go?

You think we're good? We've got three guys carrying the big water container.

going to stay and take care of her. That is totally fine.

But if you need me to go.

No. All right.

You're cool.

All right, be careful.

When we was at spring, I said, you know what?

Something tells me we should count our food.

Clarence loves injury.

But he doesn't know how to use the can opener, does he?

You think?

Yeah. We'll see.

I really hope it's not like that.

Right now, Clarence is helping out Diane.

She's sick. She's dehydrated.

And he might be sipping on our water or get everyone out of the camp. Maybe he's

eating our food. I don't know.

Everybody ready?

Let's go.

We get back to camp. Parents comes to meet us 20 yards from camp.

Right then, I smelt a little something.

It didn't smell good.

No, I'm all right. Help them boys up there. They're the ones having trouble.

You look better.

A little better.

So when we got on that tree, I sniffed a little bit more.

Through talking to Diane, she admits that she gives Clarence some water, and

they just ate a can of beans.

Diane said the best thing to do would be to open and get her something to eat,

you know, because we wanted to get her strength up.

She said, well, maybe something to eat will help. So I said, well, I'll do

I'll open up a can, maybe get some food in you, and that will make you feel

better.

Hey, Clarence, Diane talked like you want to eat something while it's gone,

you haven't.

You need to kind of fess up. Explain why you thought you should eat a can of

food. I got her something to eat, so we split it while she was gone, just so she

could feel better. Well, I just wanted to make it. I mean, I ain't got to eat.

Okay, I just wanted to make it. It ain't no big deal.

It's a big deal to me. It's a big deal to me, too. And I want to make it

straight right. Anybody that eats without the rest of it, it's a big deal.

I opened a can because she needed something to eat.

It was a judgment call. It was a judgment call I made. It was a bad damn

judgment.

There's eight of us. You guys were gone.

It don't matter. We're all making it. You can't make the decision. Tommy,

I had to open it for her.

You don't have to open it for her. She's all right. You a doctor? Let me see

your license.

You ain't no doctor.

I made a call for her. I did not open the can for me.

I opened the can for her.

But did you eat any?

Yes. Okay, well, that's our point. You made the call for you, bro. You made the

call for you, too.

You made the call for all of us.

And I don't think you got that right.

You don't eat without all of it. My apologies. Okay, apologize to that woman

because you took her food. Apologize to that woman. You took her food. I'm

sorry. This man right here, you took his food. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. All right. So you only got to tell me once. But this issue is cut and

dried. Okay, that's what I want to hear. And we're pissed off. And we now need

to deal with a situation where we were starting to build trust. The trust has

been broken.

And it needs to be built from square one. We need to start over now because

right now we're all wondering if we can leave anybody alone. If you did that in

the army, you made a bad call in the army, you'd be kicked out of there so

Hell, they'd shoot you. They'd shoot you. You'd be code red. I'd shoot you.

There were only three.

No, no, no.

The judgment call was made by one person. I wasn't going to not tell you

Where's the can right now?

I put it up. I tossed it.

I was walking out. Did you hide it? No. I was on my way walking to get some

sunscreen. I tossed it.

I didn't ask for beans. Was it one of the big cans of beans?

I don't know about that. You didn't ask for it? You didn't ask for food?

I didn't ask. He said he was going to open up because he said I needed to eat.

That's a lie, dude. I don't know if I trust him. That's a lie. That's not

either. That's a lie.

Clarence, that is not.

Diane, oh my God.

Clarence, I didn't ask you for a can of beans.

I told you I didn't want, I wasn't hungry, I didn't want any. Diane, Diane.

Yesterday I did this, but what is that job thing that you've been showing old

Cal Dunn how to do, old Hayseed?

But today, you shake my way, man to man, when we shake.

Your way ain't the way I'm going. What more do you want me to say, Tommy?

Today's a hard day for us. We have got to kick one of us out. Today was not a

good day to do this.

I want you to grab a torch and approach the flame.

At Tribal Council, fire most definitely represents life.

As long as you have fire, you're still alive.

When your flame is out, the game is over for you.

So there's fire relating to ritual, and then there's fire relating to real life,

as you guys have figured out living without it for two nights. So the good

is, tonight...

Seven of you will return to camp with fire.

Bad news is one of you is going home.

So before we get to tonight's first vote, let's have a little chat. What's

first thing you're going to do tonight, Jessie, when you go back to camp having

fire? Oh, definitely light up a fire and boil water all night.

I don't think any of us is going to sleep tonight. We're just going to boil

water and drink.

We're all dehydrated.

Let's talk about the first challenge. Diane, obviously it was tough on you.

Yeah, it was tough on me.

We had tried to build a fire all day in the sun and, you know, sat out there in

the sun with no water and then having to go do this challenge. I was done.

I was just out.

I was out of gas.

Clarence, what's it been like living together as a group so far?

It's definitely been awesome despite the fact that we haven't had water.

Everybody here has really just gotten to jail to the point where even when we

mess up, we...

We feel bad about it. I know I did some things today, and I feel horrible about

it. And, you know, you don't feel like that with strangers. You feel like that

about people you seriously care about.

Fill me in. What happened today?

You know, today a teammate was not feeling well, and I decided

to open a can of beans to make him feel better.

While I had the can open, I ate some too, and that wasn't fair.

Like I said, it was something stupid, and I seriously hope they forgive me for

it. Ethan, what was your reaction when you came back?

I was pretty pissed off. I'm very impressed that he stayed behind and

Diane because she's feeling sick, and that's very, you know, noble of a thing

do. But, you know, I was a little surprised that someone would do that.

I think he had a weak flaw in his character.

He had a weak moment, and I forgive, but I don't forget.

All right, let's get to tonight's vote.

Here's how it's going to work. One by one, you're going to make your way along

here to the voting confessional, where you're going to write down the name of

the person who you're voting for.

Clear block letters.

Hold it up.

Speak your piece.

Diane, you're first.

He was kind of deceitful to me today.

Plus, he called me a liar, which I didn't appreciate at all since I'm not

The vote for me is Diane.

She's by far the weakest person on our team right now.

A challenge. She killed us.

I'm not forgetting about what Clarence did, but we look at his big, strong guy,

and we need him for the next little bit to help us get some challenges won.

Ryan's black.

He let the team down. He was looking for somebody strong, but yet he was weak.

Our tribe will do what it takes to win, but we'll do it with our head high.

We're not weak.

Out of all the people who I hung out with, you told me that we were the

And when it came down to it, I took care of you today. And you lied on me for no

reason. And for that, I can't forgive you. And I'm ashamed to tell you that

day I told you you were like my mother, you're nothing like my mother.

I'm going to tally the votes.

Once the votes are read, the decision is final.

The person voted out will be asked to leave the tribal council area

Ready to vote?

First vote.

Clarence.

Diane.

Clarence Black.

Two votes Clarence, two votes Diane.

Three votes Diane.

Diane.

That's four votes Diane, two votes Clarence.

Diane. That's five votes. That's enough.

The tribe has spoken.

It's time for you to go.

Well, a lot has been said here tonight,

so I would encourage you as you head back to camp and boil a lot of water to

and do some mending as a tribe.

You can take your torches and head back to camp.

I'll see you guys tomorrow.

Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode.

Next time on Survivor. At Buran, it's boys against girls. At

Samburu, lines are drawn in the

sand. Can Silas be trusted?

Silas, he's playing both sides, but it could backfire on him.

Well, I'm the first one to get the boots, and I have no regrets.

I'm actually kind of glad. It was a lot tougher than I thought it would be. I'm

glad that I had the experience and got the chance to come and find out exactly

what wild Africa is like, and it's tough.

It's real tough.
