We are cruising through a remote and absolutely breathtaking section of the

Pacific, crystal clear water that is home to one of the most spectacular

wonders of the world, the island paradise of Palau.

It is a unique landscape featuring hundreds of lush islands, magnificent

reefs, and an underwater sanctuary of sea life like no other.

Sharks, manta rays, giant clams, and literally millions of jellyfish.

But this paradise has an infamous history.

Brave. It is an eerie mix of man's explosive past and nature's power to

For the first time ever, there are 20 survivors.

They've been set adrift with only the clothes on their backs and one canteen

water each.

Everything they've come to expect about the way this game begins will soon be

wiped out.

39 days, 20 people, one survivor.

Welcome to Survivor Palau.

Just behind you, that beach is your new home.

Waiting for you, you will find two machetes, one map to water, along with

most valuable thing in this game, immunity.

There are two immunity necklaces, one for the first woman, one for the first

who can get to shore and claim them.

How you get to shore is up to you. You're still about a mile out. You can

in. You can start swimming. A little of both.

You are all on your own. It is your choice.

But I suggest you make a decision and start acting now because this game is

Good luck.

Jeff, son of a bitch.

I'm going to tell you that.

Hell, I thought we were going to get some breakfast, food and water or

something. Hell no. I knew he was going to say something like that. He was going

to say, the game's on.

Something told me we were pretty much in trouble.

As we were rowing on the boat and we were getting closer and closer to the

beach, everybody was thinking, should I jump out? Should I swim to the shore?

Should I try to beat the boat?

was on immediately.

And then people said, oh, I'll take this spot, rolling in the back.

And other people were whispering and wondering, oh, is that because they want

be at the back of the boat so that when the boat gets close to shore, they can

run off?

As we were

Slowly rowing in.

I was like, I think it's close enough. I'm going to jump. I'm going to swim.

I'm a pretty good swimmer, so I figured I could beat the boat. It didn't seem

like we were moving.

Stephanie just said, I can't take it. I'm going to jump in.

Of course, I was right behind her.

I got in, and, like, after two strokes, there went the boat, and I was like, oh,

my God, that's the dumbest thing I've ever done.

Can we get off? Can we get back on?

Oh, my God!

When Stephanie and Jonathan dove in the water, everyone's like, you don't want

to be the first one to dive in!

God!

That is a gigantic target on your head.

We were all excited because we wanted to jump and start swimming, but we didn't.

We kept waiting and waiting and waiting.

The competitive nature in me was like, you got to go, but you didn't go.

I was not going to let that little young girl beat me.

Ian,

he was the first one up there to get his ass up there. Skinny boy, I'm telling

you, that's a fast little booger.

Well, I don't even know if we have a tribe because I know that the banner

says...

Survivor Palau. It doesn't have any tribe name on it.

Because you've never seen the game start this way with 20 people, you get a

little, I found myself getting a little paranoid. You know, we're not a tribe.

We don't have our boss. You know, we're just getting to know everyone's name.

I'm Yolanda.

You know, if you can't say it.

Oh, you guys are out there.

Something's going to happen. Something big's going to happen. We can't just

remain as a group of 20.

Big question mark.

We don't have a clue what's happening next.

All right, everybody, let's think about who wants to do water, who wants to do

shelter. I'll do shelter. I'll do water. I'll do shelter. Okay, water people.

So we got one, two, three, four, and Kobe's five. Okay.

Does that sound like a good plan? Say what?

Five people go look for water and 15 start in the shelter? Yeah.

When we got on the beach, it was such a blur with all the immunities and just

the craziness of just being dropped off. But actually, I think we got to things

fairly quickly. I mean, we found the map to the water source.

We started thinking about shelter and food. And so people just broke off. A

group of four broke off to go get water.

And then everybody else stayed with shelter.

I mean, it was very quick. It happened very fast.

We are survivors!

You okay? Yeah. You know, it's funny. I mean, everybody's just walking around in

different directions.

Let's get the water. Let's build a shelter.

You just got to watch that. I had a few people try to wrangle me into doing the

fire, and I'm just like, that's a loser job, man. All right.

Get this going.

Oh. I need a bathroom.

I'll get some more sticks.

Do we have a strong man here? Come on. Are you like Hercules? Come on,

we came out in the clothes we had on and we kind of taken by surprise that we

couldn't have you know the clothes that we had thought we were going to have

with us it was it was really difficult i know for a lot of people but there's

been some great modifications to himself don't like hats like salt oh yeah oh

i've made shorts back in the day oh gosh they're chopping things off left and

right pants are falling off and shirts are getting a little bit higher and

shirts are getting tied up

We were so excited to get to the water.

So we finally found the water source.

And also found a bag of everybody's shoes, which was really nice to take

into camp. Like, look, no more stilettos. We have real shoes.

You can't let young, good -looking people have all the power.

That's what I was thinking.

Because there's a lot of them. Yeah. Me and Colby pretty much knew when we saw

each other that we were going to be, you know, kindred to one another because we

understood being different. We understood being ostracized.

Yeah, I have to say.

I sighed a sigh of relief when I saw you because I realized I wasn't going to be

the weirdest one here.

I mean that in the most loving way. I thought the same way. I was like, oh,

we're going to totally get lost. You can tell that Angie and I are both cut from

the same cloth in the scenario that we think we're different and we're the

outcast, but I think we're both going to have to watch it when it comes to the

context of the game.

Because if we're too much of an outcast, obviously it's going to make us a

target.

Now how do we get that up there?

I don't know. Tom, what were you thinking with this? I got this up here.

Actually, what we're going to need is we're going to need somebody to get up

here to start putting these cross pieces.

The boys really got together, and we used one big tree as our base for our

shelter. And then they put reeds up, and they said, well, we need a time off the

top. So I offered.

Oh,

watch it. Whoa.

There you go.

I'm loving you already.

Okay. I don't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing, but I wanted to

and I figured my rock climbing skills would help. So I climbed that puppy like

monkey, and I did what I could.

Come on, sucker.

Breath is done.

Beating down on me all day long. I think it is like 230.

I know.

It's amazing.

I'm sort of thinking, Ian, maybe.

Just an early something here.

We might all be split tomorrow, but... But I'm in with that. If you guys... We

would be strong. The whole thing could be reshuffled, but... Yeah, absolutely.

Grasshoppers have protein.

Whoa!

I just saved my first grasshopper!

Do you want to knock out threats, or do you want to... You don't know.

Well, the game's going to play out after that, right?

Right. Are you not leaning towards any of the girls?

I mean, I'm not. Honestly, I'm not leaning towards anyone.

You're leaning towards Jonathan.

The one who jumped in the water.

Although he worked so hard today.

So you said everybody's working hard, really, when you look at it now. I mean,

in their own way.

I'm just going to connect with him. I don't really connect with him.

I don't think I've said anything to him the whole time.

Honestly, I don't think he's talking to me either.

Everybody's assumption at this point is that we're all basically screwed because

we all think we have tribal council, like now.

We don't even know if we're going to be on the same team. I know, but that's why

you're just going to go for today.

Right, because we could change tomorrow.

So we thought we had three days of at least getting to know everybody.

We don't know if we have that. So everybody's security has been blown.

Everybody's freaking out.

But I've definitely gone to different groups all day today and said, who are

going to vote for?

Really? That's interesting.

What about voting for this person? What about Jonathan?

Good.

And as long as I do it subtly.

You go, boy.

And sneak it in there.

You can change their minds. Because at this point, everybody doesn't want it to

be them.

What's going on,

guys? Hey, how you doing? Oh, hey, how you doing there, Jeff?

What's up?

We got visitors!

What's up?

How's everybody doing?

Big group.

Anxious to know what's happening?

Yes! All right, so Jolanda and Ian, you guys were the first two to the beach.

Who was the first person?

Ian. Ian. All right, Ian, take a spot right over here. Jolanda, right over

Getting a little uncomfortable over here? Yeah.

How's that immunity feel, Jolanda? It feels good.

It ought to feel real good.

The immunity necklaces that you're wearing guarantee that you're going to

in this game for at least 10 more minutes.

Which cannot be said for the other 18 of you.

We're going to divide into two tribes with nine members each. That's 18

There are 20 of you.

Two people will not be selected to be on a tribe.

Two people will get on a boat immediately and be sent home.

Ian and Jolanda, you will make the first pick.

alternating between men and women. Each time you choose a person, that person

will choose the next member of the tribe.

Ian, because you were first to the beach, you will select first. You're

a girl. Okay.

Uh, Pete.

Jolanda, you're picking a guy.

Bobby John.

So Ian and Jolanda, Your work is done. The person you picked will now pick.

Katie, you're picking a guy.

Tom.

Tom.

Tom, you're picking a woman.

I'm going to take Januk.

New. Still in the game and relieved.

Jeff, picking a guy.

Jeff. Jeff is going to make it to at least the first challenge.

Tanu, you're picking a man.

Go ahead.

Genu, you look upset.

No, it's kind of weird.

Kind of weird.

You don't do this a lot?

Yeah. We're picking a girl.

Kim.

Kim stays in the game.

Greg, you're picking a woman.

Dad.

Kim, you're picking a guy.

James.

Jen, you're picking a guy. Tough decision.

Getting down to it.

Kobe.

James.

Ashley.

Toby, you're picking a woman.

Karen.

Karen, how does that feel to be standing over there? What's going through your

head? It's not a good feeling, Jeff. It's better to be on this side.

Ashley, you're picking a guy.

Abraham.

Thank you.

You each have one pick left.

You're going to pick one guy. You're going to pick one girl. In doing so,

going to pick the final members of your tribe and effectively vote out two

people from this game.

How are you feeling, Wanda? It's been an awful long time since my heart pounded

this fast.

Jonathan, how are you feeling?

My heart's beating. I thought I was going to be picked for this.

Okay, it is time to make the final selection.

Karen, you're picking a guy.

Make your decision.

Willard.

Willard stays in the game.

Jonathan is out of the game.

Abraham, you're picking a woman.

Make your decision.

Angie stays in the game.

Wanda is out of the game.

It's tough

today, but

guys, it is time for you to go.

Right past me, you got a boat waiting out here.

Go get it, Wanda!

Go get it, Jackson. Come on now.

really, really, really sad.

But that's all right. I'm going to wipe my tears and refocus. That's in the

past. It's a whole new thing.

All right. Hand out the buff.

You guys are Oolong.

You wear blue.

Your tribe, Karor.

You will wear brown.

Okay, so you are now two tribes.

Oolong, Karor. Two tribes still living together on the same beach.

And I'm back. Have a good day.

It's definitely going to be weird all staying on one beach together, though.

I felt horrible being picked last. I didn't think that I was going to be

last. I thought 100 % that Kobe was going to pick me.

I don't feel like I'm on the tribe that I should be on.

So, there's no kindred feelings with my tribe. I'm the odd man out.

Never had anything against them, ever.

Guys, if there's any sort of competition that they're trying to put into this

game already, let's not be the ones that... No, no, no. Our average age is

higher, but let's try to weaken them when it comes to physical stuff.

I'm altogether very, very happy. I wanted a wise tribe if I had the

to pick.

We've got a little bit of the older folks, which I really like, and we're up

against a bunch of the young bucks.

You compare the tribes and you see a definite difference.

They come to you and say, oh, listen, so -and -so on your team was talking about

you. They're just trying to break it down. I love everybody on this team.

We definitely have some kind of advantage, which I don't care what you

know, it's smart, it's in a suit, but athletics is going to play a part in it

also.

You guys ready to get to the challenge?

Yeah. It is both reward and immunity.

Here's how it works.

Both tribes are going to compete head -to -head in a jungle obstacle course.

You'll make your way through a net maze, then through a series of tires.

You'll reach a covered supply dump where you will find a set of paddles you must

take tied to four survival items you can choose to take or leave behind.

Fire in the form of flint. Two cans to carry water.

flour and rice for your food, and a cart for shelter.

But the crates that these items are in have been weighted to make them very

heavy to carry.

Untie all of your items. Continue through the course carrying the items.

go up and over a wall, through a jungle swamp.

When you reach your canoe, drop the items you chose to take with you, get in

canoe, paddle out to retrieve a flag, and race back to shore. The first tribe

get back to their mat with all nine tribe members and their tribe -colored

wins immunity and all the items they carried to that mat. Keeping in mind,

can only win the items that make it all the way to the finish, so it becomes a

choice. You want to win to guarantee yourself immunity, but you want to win

as many items as possible.

Now let's get to immunity.

Ian, Galanda, you can take those off. Like I said, those guaranteed you stay

the game 10 more minutes. Those 10 minutes are over.

This is what you covet now.

Immunity. The only thing that keeps you safe in this game is this. As long as

you have it, you can't be voted out. Take your spots. Wait for my go.

Here we go. For immunity and reward.

Survivors ready?

Go! Tom's with a big head start.

Neck and neck right now.

Tom's first one over for Karar.

Followed by Greg.

Here comes Jeff for Ulam.

There's Ian for Karar.

We're tight.

There's Jen.

Swoop catches up.

Moving on.

Go.

Up and over. However you want.

Neck and neck still.

Start pulling those off.

You got to move all your items to the mat before you can start untying.

This is where you make your first decision. Are you going to take all your

or not?

Parar, working together well.

Parar, very close.

Parar is free.

Parar is leaving their food and their water, taking only their...

I think we should go. You guys, we got water.

Too long. Keep it moving.

Cor,

first to the wall.

Two people push me up on four. One, two, three.

Karora's up and over.

Karora, go.

Hulong really struggling.

Karora making their way through the swamp with a big lead.

Hulong finally over the wall.

Hulong first to their canoe.

The strategy was to only bring fire, and it's working so far.

Paddle out. Get your flag.

The flag is there.

Nice strategy. You chose to only bring fire.

You can boil water with that. You can cook food with that.

Okay, here is immunity.

You are safe from the vote tonight. One other decision.

Because you won, you get a choice.

The two tribes will no longer be living together on one beach.

You can either go back to what you know and the shelter you helped build.

Or this is a map to a new, unknown beach where you can start fresh.

Well, why see a beach we already saw? Let's go see something new.

New? Let's have a new adventure.

You're going to take your chances.

Give up what you know for the unknown.

Here's your map to your new home. Now!

Too long. Good news is, you're going home.

You're taking your outrigger canoe with you.

Bad news is you're going to get some much -needed practice when you paddle to

tribal council tonight and officially vote out the first member. Get your

Head on out.

After the challenge, we were so excited.

We want immunity and we want stuff that we needed to make fire.

We're so the underdog.

Winning that was huge for us.

This wave came and we went over. I don't know what the deal was, you know, who

was leaning what way or what, but I think it was just a combination of all

forces and we just went down.

All of the supplies to make fire were in this heavy steel container that went

straight down.

It was like, did this really happen?

I thought I saw something, but hell, I don't know.

We were so elated. The ride back in the canoe, we were just loving life and

couldn't wait to see the new beach.

And all this to happen, we're just crushed right now. We don't have the

We don't have the flint to start a fire to boil the water and purify it. We lost

everything we won today.

We're in a worse scenario than we originally had.

We lost to the challenge, and we lost pretty hard.

The other tribe outplayed us and outwitted us completely.

You know what? We didn't make smart decisions.

Hey, we're smart. They took just the fire.

The coconut will sustain us for 39 days if we had to.

So understand that I'm not going to allow anyone to be negative.

Nobody needs to be negative. Okay? No, no. About, oh, we don't have this. We

everything we need. I know how things work.

I'm not the strongest person. You know, people are going to choose who doesn't

fit in the best and who they think is a weak link.

So I definitely think that I am a target.

But when it comes to challenges physically, I know I'm stronger than

their dudes.

Always keep on what we do. We're going to do Angie, but we got to get the other

guys to go in on it. I want to go talk to Stephanie because if we have issues,

we need to work them out.

My vote will be for Angie, not because I don't like her, but she is a person

that must be voted off in order for our team to be as strong as it can be.

So we need to... Well, I think we need to keep the men. I think it's

absolutely... We're keeping the men.

We can't lose any of our guys, which, I mean, curiously, I could be voted off. I

don't want to be voted off. I think the team needs me. We need your strength.

But I do have to say we should have left earlier. We shouldn't have tried to get

everything. Yeah, you're right. You're right. You're right.

I know that you're just a complete go -getter, and that's why you wanted to

everything, and I understand that.

I get that.

Okay. Okay.

You too. Okay.

Absolutely. Okay.

Nervous as hell about tribal. Wish I wasn't going tonight.

We made a dumb mistake, and I don't think we should be going tonight, but we

are, and it's because of one person, I feel.

Part of the reason we lost the challenge is because we didn't leave soon enough.

We didn't leave soon enough. She wanted everything.

I don't think we need to get rid of her.

I'm not going to vote for her.

Stephanie's thinking that Jolanda's the reason we lost the challenge, but that

woman's got a lot, a lot of strength.

I think she can still help us out. I haven't seen where she's hurting us just

yet. Who are you going to vote for? I think Angela.

She's not fit. Yeah.

All right.

I'm sorry.

No, that's good. That's good. I'll go with you.

Okay, newsflash.

Newsflash. This is something that I noticed.

For every two hours that we work, we're going to rest for at least an hour.

Okay? It is time for us to get focused, kick butt, take names.

Jowanda is a strong personality.

She is not a team player. I didn't know that that's how you guys thought.

Right. I thought I was the only one. Are you down with that? Are you in?

Because I'll be pissed if everybody changes their words. I mean, I'll hold

against you for life.

Ashley says we're voting out. Joe, are you in? I was like, hell yeah, I'm in.

Like, I'm thinking I'm the one out. Like, I know how today went. You don't

I remember exactly the order in which we got picked for tribe?

I don't trust anyone in this tribe. But if I can at least make it past this one,

I'll be happy.

Find each of you with a torch. Go ahead and grab a torch.

Approach a flame.

Dip it in and get the fire.

This is part of the ritual of tribal council.

In this game, fire represents your life. As long as you have fire, you're still

in the game. When your fire's gone, so are you.

Have a seat.

Well, welcome to your first tribal council.

I know you don't want to be here.

Stephanie, what's been the biggest surprise the first three days?

Biggest surprise?

Oh, God.

Starving, can't get fire, we're so thirsty.

We were together as one, and now we're separated. We formed bonds, and now

they're gone, and we don't know what's coming next.

It's been really tough.

James, happy with this tribe?

I am. This is a damn fine tribe.

Everybody in here is tough.

They're young.

They got a lot of energy, a lot of testosterone.

We're going to win some matches.

We just didn't do it today.

Jeff, let's talk about the strategy of today's challenge because it was about

making a choice.

And it seems as though you guys have a very strong tribe, but it was brains

beat you today. Would you agree?

Yeah, we've got the strength.

We all have the endurance.

There's just a couple key times that we just messed up. And, you know, we lost

time trying to get everything we possibly could and get running with it.

And it wasn't going to happen.

So, James, let me be clear. You didn't even bring fire. Oh, hell no. We should

have.

You did not take fire. No, man.

Well, we tried to get it, but it was last.

And then when we realized that we just lost a tremendous amount of time, we

said, okay, just take the other stuff.

Ashley, is there a leader?

on this tribe yet?

Jeff, I think that is the only thing that's holding this group back is that

have yet to come together as a group and decide who is going to lead our group

right now.

Jolanda, can this group lead itself as a group?

No, we need somebody to make a unilateral decision.

I mean, I would like, if I could, to help lead the team.

But I also know that I have a very strong personality. So that's been my

dilemma because I don't want for people to say, oh, you know, her personality is

too strong. She's bossy.

She's a witch.

Angie, picked last.

Tribe welcomes you.

But now here we are at Tribal Council, and you were still picked last.

Yep. How heavy is that weighing on your mind, or have you overcome that?

It weighs very heavy on my mind. I mean, it's hard being picked last.

But I think that I tried really, really hard at the challenge today, but I think

definitely my head was going to be on the chopping block.

You know, either there's some things going on where somebody has somebody

in mind, or it's going to overwhelmingly be me.

We'll find out.

It is time to vote.

Jolanda, you're up.

Angie, I just don't think that we can be happy with losses. We've got to

evaluate and move forward.

I'll go tell you the vote.

Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted out will be

asked to leave the tribal council area immediately.

I'll read the votes.

First vote.

Angie.

Jolanda. One vote Angie, one vote Jolanda.

Angie. Two votes Angie, one vote Jolanda.

Angie. That's three votes Angie, one vote Jolanda.

Jolanda. Three votes Angie, two votes Jolanda.

Jolanda. We're tied. Three votes, Angie. Three votes, Jolanda.

That's four votes, Jolanda.

First person voted out of Survivor Palau.

Jolanda. That's five votes. That's enough. You can bring me a torch.

Good luck, you guys.

Watch the win.

So on, Travis spoken.

Well,

if there's one thing you should take away from tonight's tribal council, it

should be that you need to stop with the excuses and get a plan or you will be

back here very soon.

You're not going to be going back to camp with fire. You're going to earn

on your own.

Go back to camp. Good night.

Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode.

Next time on Survivor.

Aurora questions the move to the new beach.

Do you think there could be a worse island than this?

At Oolong, Jeff and Kim get cozy, and the search for Flint intensifies.

Fire is the only thing that matters.

I played this game, and I don't think that I would do anything differently.

I mean, I am the oldest, and I think differently than my tribe.

are a lot more happy -go -lucky than I am, but that's fine because this was a

great adventure, and it's an experience that I think everyone should try, and I

don't regret anything that happened after this.
