the coast of Panama on a remote island that will play a dramatic role in the

lives of our 16 survivors over the next 39 days.

This is Exile Island.

Each week, at least one survivor will be banished here.

Separated from their tribe, they'll have no idea what's going on back at camp,

and they'll be forced to live on their own until they return to the game.

But there is a silver lining to Ectile Island. It's a mystery that could help

one of our survivors win the million dollars and the title of sole survivor.

It's a twist like never before, turning strategy on its head.

The 16 Americans have already begun the adventure of a lifetime.

They have been divided into four tribes, each with four members.

They are strangers from different walks of life.

forced to work together to create a new society while battling the elements and

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

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

39 gays, 16 people, one survivor.

Welcome to Survivor.

Three. What do you think about the way you've been divided?

First reaction.

It looks like younger, older.

Shane, is that what it's sizing up to you? Yeah, I mean, genders and ages

separated the four of us. I mean, it'll be interesting. I don't think this has

ever happened before.

Shane's right. For the first time ever, you have been divided into four tribes

by age and gender.

Younger men versus younger women.

versus the older men versus the older women?

I thought I was young.

I'm on the wrong list.

Why do they think I'm older? Do I look older?

I would certainly prefer to have some females on our team. My personality, I

can't help but flirt with basically any female I come into contact with.

There was the Young Beefcake crowd, of which I was charter member and

Then there was the Love Boat crowd, which was the older men.

There was the Golden Girls, and then there was the Spice Girls.

It'll be interesting to see how things shake out. Let me tell you a little bit

about the island you're on right now. You will not be living here as tribes,

over the next 39 days, many of you will be spending some time out here alone.

This is Exile Island.

Throughout this game, tribe members will be banished to this island, where you

will have to live with very meager supplies, dealing with all the elements,

nobody to watch your back. And even worse, when you're on Exile Island, you

not back at your camp. You are out of the loop, and you don't know what is

on.

Now I've got another surprise.

You're going to compete right now in your first reward challenge.

Yeah. Let's get it on.

I was just pumped that we had a challenge right off the bat. I mean,

forte. That's my thing. I'm an athlete, you know. I'm physical. That's what I

came here for.

All right. Each tribe will choose one person to run for them. On my go, you

race to the other end of the island where you will find a pile of skull,

one skull at a time.

Smash it on a rock.

Inside, you'll find a tightly wrapped ball of fabric.

Untie it. They're looking for an amulet, not a stone.

Once you find an amulet, race back to the finish.

The first three tribe members back with an amulet win for their tribe fire in

the form of flint. In addition, the losing tribe will choose one person to

behind on Exile Island right off the bat.

Big enough stakes?

Definitely. All right. I know you don't know each other very well, but you've

got to make a decision. I'll give you a second to strategize.

Who's going to run?

All right, older women, who's going to run the challenge?

Ruth Marie.

Older guys, who's it going to be? Terry. For the younger women?

Danielle. How about for the younger guys?

Austin. Austin, Danielle, Terry, Ruth Marie, come up to the start.

Move for the amulet.

Move for the amulet.

Or reward in the form of fire.

Survivors ready?

Go!

Ops and down already.

Got to get those jitters out.

Let's go, Terry. I don't need it.

I'm

somebody.

Terry,

back first for the older guys.

Only two amulets remaining.

There he is.

I'm done.

Austin, back with the second amulet for the younger guys.

Oh, boy, that's my boy.

Older women, younger women, getting nervous?

Nobody wants to stay behind here.

She's not a smith.

God is going to help her.

I just can't breathe. That's why I think that someone's here.

Here

comes

the final amulet.

I don't know who's got it.

Ruth Marie back with the final amulet to the older women.

Older women, older men, younger men all have amulets. That's good. That's good.

That's good. You did it.

Here she comes.

The young men, fire.

The older guys, fire.

The older women, Ruth Marie.

For the younger women, big disadvantage right off the bat.

No fire.

The worst news is, you've got to give me a name now.

Who is going to stay behind at Exile Island?

I said, you know, I lost the challenge. I feel like I should.

And then the other girls were like, no, no, no, you can't. You just did the

challenge. You know, they were really cool about it.

Can we do rock, paper, scissors?

You can do whatever you want.

No one really wanted to make a decision in our group the whole time I'm holding

my breath. I'm thinking, please, God, I don't want to start off a survivor on

the losing end.

One, two, three, hit. Ready?

All right. I'm here. But, you know, I'm the one who got stuck sitting on Exile

Island. Misty, stick him high. I'm staying.

Here's how it's going to work. You will stay here until the first immunity

challenge, at which point you will return back to your tribe. You will

There's one other element to Exile Island.

Hidden somewhere on this island is an immunity idol.

So while you're out here trying to figure out how to survive, you ought to

looking for it. If you find the idol, you can share that information with

whoever you want. You can keep it a secret. It's up to you. The important

to remember is that you can use it any time up through the final four.

But once there are only three of you remaining, the idol can be used no more.

But here's the best part. You can hold on to that idol until after the votes

have been revealed at Tribal Council.

That means you could have enough votes to get you voted out. You hold up that

idol, you are now immune, and the person with the next most votes goes home.

It is a huge shift in how this game is played.

Along the way, you'll be given clues as to the whereabouts of that idol.

Younger guys, get out of here. Here's a map.

Let's go.

Older guys, here's a map to your beach.

Have fun. All righty.

Older women.

Sally,

Danielle, Courtney, here's a map to your beach.

Boat is waiting to take you there.

All right, Misty. Tough way to start the game. A few minutes in, you're already

left on your own.

Here's what you have on Exile Island.

One machete, one bucket of water.

Water not going to do you a lot of good because you really need to boil it

before you drink it and you don't have fire.

You also have a lot of time to think about why fate chose you to

be the first one out here, which is also why immunity is already so important.

And as for your first clue, the whereabouts, I've already given it to

luck. See you at the Immunity Challenge.

We so did not want to say that. I know.

Nice work out there, buddy.

I'm

the

first person exiled to Exile Island.

I definitely feel very vulnerable.

I didn't expect this this soon, this early.

So it was quite a shock.

Jeff did say there's an immunity idol on the island, and he left me with

clues. He said, why did fate leave you behind?

It seems to me like he was trying to tell us that the immunity idol was

behind us where we were standing.

I don't know if it's my guess anyway.

I'm going to be definitely searching for that immunity idol.

We walked up to the flag. There was a pot and a machete.

The machete kind of scared me a little bit. I thought we might have to clear an

area to build a house or something.

And clearing areas kind of scare me because when you clear the area, the

that used to live there come out.

And I'm not good with things.

Thank you, Heavenly Father. Thank you so much.

Hi,

Lyndon. Bless her. He blessed everyone here.

Amen.

Amen. Amen.

To finally be at your beach where your tribe flag isn't huge.

And then of course we're like, where are we going to build a shelter? Where are

we going to do a fire? Oh my gosh, we've got to do this. We only have two hours

of daylight, you know.

So we went straight into work mode.

Oh, that's pretty cool stuff.

Burn,

baby, burn.

Okay,

here we go, kids.

More of that stuff. Keep her going.

People, I think that was a fire in record time. I'm curious.

Yes. Well, starting a fire was highly successful for us.

Once you hit that flint, holy shnikes, it's like a Fourth of July fireworks

parade. Sparks were going everywhere.

Kumbaya, my lord, kumbaya.

The older women are performing very well.

Tina, who has the most... Interesting background.

It's actually a log roller.

She's a very, very resourceful woman.

Water is ours.

And so with Tina stepping forward into the leadership position, I'm happy to

step back and be one of the worker bees.

I hate you.

You're what?

You said something cares you. I said leave.

She's afraid that my decency ends again.

It's a lot of scary stuff around here, though. I don't think Cerise had a lot

outdoor experience.

Heck, we went together leaves to make a cushion for her bed tonight, and she

said she hates leaves.

Didn't you want to tell her what those two was doing out?

I'm like thinking these are the least of your problems, honey.

We haven't really prioritized anything yet. And we've got to figure out how are

we going to get water, how are we going to get fire, how are we going to get

shelter.

Put your left hand like an inch over my left hand.

And then off the left hand.

Try to get it as close without touching. Now right hand.

All right, we're going to leave our hands here until you guys start to feel

something. You tell me when you start to feel a little bit of energy.

All right, so right now I want you guys just to think right now what we're going

to do. We're going to make fire.

Okay. All right.

Seriously, just take a second. Stop and think about that.

You guys feel anything in your hand?

All right.

Aris has definitely, he's got a lot of ideas. Some of them are kind of

harebrained at a left field, like doing meditation.

You get fire.

All right. Don't make that. Don't.

Machete. It's over there.

And it's, like, so grandiose, like, and you just want to go, okay, how are you

going to do that? Like, we need to worry about basic.

Use that power in the hands. You got it.

Brace yourself.

Think about this thing catching it, okay?

Oh, man.

Keep the faith. Keep the faith, fellas.

I mean, is there something we're just missing, like some component of fire

building that everybody's going to be like, those four jackasses?

No, we're getting sparks.

Our tribe's just hysterical. I mean, we all established within two hours of

being here when we didn't have a fire going and hopelessly building this

pathetic shelter.

We don't have a clue what we are doing.

That's a shelter right there, gentlemen.

Look at that.

Just buy a villa when you need it.

That is the stariest shelter I think we could have possibly come up with.

Possibly. Got to be proud of it. First night, you know. We don't want to peak

the first night.

Let's just hope it doesn't rain. Right now, it's not.

Oh, this is kind of cool, too, this little story.

Yeah,

we could.

And it's flat.

Well,

there's so many places. I don't know. We should keep looking, don't you think?

It hasn't been the greatest day for us.

We started off like, you know, underdogs.

Plus, you know, since we didn't win the flint and everyone else did, we don't

have fire and don't have water.

And we only had three of us, so.

And none of us have ever made a shelter before.

Such a cool tree, huh?

Seems like we could do something with this.

I don't know.

I don't know.

Are you feeling it? No.

Next. Next.

We were so back and forth about where to pick our shelter.

We were being women.

Huh. Do you think this will work? I don't know. What do you think? I don't

Is purple my color?

Oh.

Do you want to keep walking? I'm happy walking and just checking out where

living just for fun.

I started to get a little bit frustrated with the whole, like, where we should

do the shelter.

If you see it and you like it, don't even look anymore because it's just a

of time at that point. It's starting to get dark.

Oh, man.

How old this guy is.

Oh, man.

Dead on this little beach.

Come on.

That's really weird, huh?

I thought it was really ironic that the turtle that represents, like, mother and

goddess and, like, Native American culture and that, like, this is the

where three women, you know, are living on.

It just, to me, it just seemed really significant.

I mean, they're just, like, such a symbol.

Like, the turtle is Mother Earth.

Even more specifically, North America is called Turtle Island.

Courtney's kind of just so out there. She had all this symbolism for a dead

turtle. To me, it's just a turtle. I cannot fake that I'm, like, deep into

I don't know. I'm thinking about high tide just, like, rolling her back in the

ocean or something.

Rolling her back in the ocean? Yeah.

I think Courtney, she overdramatizes things, I believe, which is not needed.

We need to build a shelter, catch food, build a fire.

Oh my God, it's just freaking out, man.

There's so much to do and so little time to do it.

We're feeling really good because we got our fire and boiling water.

You know, open the thing and get some really dry wood because we're putting

wood on the deal.

We're stoked. We're older guys and we're into this. And we're doing the Boy

Scout thing right now. That's the best smelling stinking fire I've seen in a

long time.

When people come over here, if they do, they're going to see a roaring fire.

And they're going to see some shrimp on the bobby.

I trust you.

Yeah.

Okay. I'll never lie to you.

Okay. I'll never lie to me.

I'll shake on that. Yeah? Yeah.

We'll never lie to each other. All right.

In that case, I have a secret.

All right.

I retired from NASA, but while I was working for NASA, I did more than just

on it.

Really?

Yeah.

That's awesome.

Yeah. Well.

I did do a little white light, and you know I'm an American Airlines pilot. But

I didn't want people knowing the military thing.

I flew F -14s. I flew aircraft carriers.

Terry's a great guy.

I found out he was a military pilot, flew F -14.

My background is that I retired from NASA as an astronaut.

There are some similarities between the expedition to space and the expedition

to a deserted island. The teamwork concept is very much a lot on this

I'm getting chewed to death right now. I don't know if they're in the sand,

but... Let's get all these back first.

Don't waste a lot of energy on one.

We're coming.

I already want to start calling people out because they're moronic.

I'm with the older guys for the older guys. I don't really fit in with them

that much, and they just want to work all the time, and I'm exhausted. I

had a cigarette. I smoke three packs of cigarettes a day.

For 20 years and I haven't had a cigarette in like 31 hours.

I mean, I'm just at the end of my rope. I'm fried.

Yo, man, we also got to stop worrying about hurting people's feelings at this

point. Like, we're here.

All four of us don't know how to get to the water.

All four of us don't need to head to the path to find the mud chute.

You're right. Like, I'm, we're all capable.

You betcha.

You got the machete?

I left it there.

What's Daffy Duck doing on you?

What's he doing on you?

I'm not in a good spot, man. I've got to get through this detox. For sure, the

cigarette stuff.

I can't lash out at anybody. I can't, I can't, I can't. It is unbelievably

hard, and I've been here a day.

Spending the night on Exile Island was my worst nightmare.

I'm tired. I'm hungry. I'm really, really, really thirsty.

Okay.

My tribe mate, the three of them, hopefully are doing better than me, so

strong for our next immunity challenge.

But I definitely felt a huge disadvantage that I'm the first one

should we not win.

I have been digging around because Jeff mentioned that whoever finds the

immunity idol on Exile Island doesn't have to tell anyone else.

Well, I think that's going to be a huge advantage, and I definitely want to use

it. So when I see my tribe mates at my next immunity challenge, I'll trick them

into thinking that I found the immunity idol.

We'll now bring in Misty, returning from her stay on Exile Island.

How you guys doing?

So Misty, how's Exile Island?

It's been lonely, but it has its advantages.

What advantages does Exile Island have?

Well, you told us there was an immunity idol on there, and you told us where it

was, so... So you spent a little time looking for it.

Enough.

Okay, well, in this game, there is nothing more powerful than what?

Immunity. Immunity.

This is what you're playing for. Yeah, baby.

This is the immunity idol. There are three pieces to it. Because of today's

challenge, three tribes will win immunity. The losing tribe goes to

council tonight. The first person will be voted out of this game.

Today's challenge is going to test you physically. It is also going to test you

mentally. Here's how it works.

All four tribe members will start on a dock.

On my go, climb up and over a barrier, swim out to your raft.

The raft is attached to a clip underwater.

Once you've released the raft, start paddling to shore.

You'll then race up the beach where you have to solve a brain teaser.

Your goal at the brain teaser is to release a metal ring from the rope.

Buried in the sand is a diagram to help you. Your dilemma is whether you choose

to spend the time digging that diagram up.

or solving the puzzle on your own. Once you release the metal ring, you'll toss

the ring out, retrieve a grappling hook. When you pull on the grappling hook, it

drops a flag.

First three tribes to drop their flag win immunity. Losing tribe, tribal

council. Make sense?

Yeah. Swim out. We'll get going.

Here we go. For immunity.

Survivors ready?

Go! Up and over, one at a time.

over. Tina bringing it up to the older women.

Now you got to get down and unhook those wraps.

Younger women cannot get their rope released.

Younger guys having trouble with their rope.

Older men having a little bit of trouble paddling now.

Younger women staying calm.

The older women have released their boats.

Younger guys still trying to get that rope free.

the younger women young guys in serious trouble still cannot

get it free they're swapping out young women doing a good job older men making

progress older women have it going on younger

guys

Older men right behind.

Trying to free that metal ring.

Both sides are putting two people on the puzzle and two people digging.

We're going to get the green rope out from here. The older women are

now in it.

Younger women have found the diagram.

Young guys in serious trouble.

Younger women making progress.

Melinda watching them.

While Siri, Ruth, Marie, and Tina dig, younger guys finally in.

Young guys are moving on to the brain teaser.

Tina, Ruth, Marie, three.

Still looking for the diagram.

Melinda trying to get a clue.

Not digging. That could be costly.

Young women have figured it out.

Young women are close.

They've got it.

Younger women have immunity.

12 people still out here. You just don't want to be last.

Dan has the clue for the older men.

Younger men have the diagram.

The older women have it.

Austin's bleeding.

Nick is bleeding and they're nowhere closer.

Older men have their ring free.

Catch that hook, he got immunity.

Bruce hooked it on his first shot.

Older men win immunity. They are safe from tribal council.

Down to two tribes, one immunity left.

Older women.

Up and over. Look it, we're 120 away.

Yeah, we got it, we got it, we got it. Guys think they're making some progress.

And they have.

Guys have solved it. Older ladies, you better kick it into gear. This is about

over. But look at this, though. This is fit number two.

Got to toss it over that grappling hook.

No.

Older women still in it.

Down to two tribes. Somebody going to tribal council. That could do it.

Younger men.

and going to tribal council.

Young guys, I don't know how you pulled it out. You've got immunity.

Older guys, you've got immunity.

Because the young women finished first, you get the bulk of the idol.

Maybe it has a little more spiritual power.

The older women came up short.

Tribal council tonight, one of the four of you going home. You have the

afternoon to figure out who that's going to be.

Head on back to camp.

Tina, you're thinking about getting water.

Go ahead and get water.

Are you good with that?

Water and wood in a minute.

Well, we lost the challenge, and someone has to go home now from our tribe.

I'm really nervous. I don't feel like I'm the most physically fit person on

tribe. I don't want to be the first one to go home.

Well, we're going to get water.

I don't know.

She's just sitting out there.

Is she okay?

Mm -hmm. She just went out there.

I didn't realize Tina was just sitting by herself.

Don't you think that's awesome? I do.

I just think it's weird.

I wrote this in a stamp for my son, Charlie.

Was killed in a car accident just, you know, four and a half months ago.

And he was just 16 years old.

And he was my only child.

I am sad.

Because I miss him.

But I would like to keep that to myself. So, I will

come and talk to him once in a while.

I told Linda, well, do you think you can beat Tina in any challenges? And she

said, well, no.

So, I mean, yeah, she's nice and everything, and I like her, too.

But I'm trying to win.

You know what I mean? I'm trying to go as far as possible.

I don't like to say that I'm gunning for anyone, but I don't want to go home.

So I'm going to try to get rid of the lumberjack lady.

I think Tina's going to aggravate her just a little bit. She's like, I mean, I

really like her, but she's kind of loud.

That's a fish.

That thing is breathing.

Oh, my God.

Obviously, with the tide going out, he must have got caught here.

And he's going to become...

Yeah? I mean, if you were it, we can do it however you want to do it.

There are a hundred reasons to keep her.

She's a workhorse.

She caught a fish today. I mean, honestly, there are a gazillion reasons

her. Let's go clean it. Okay.

We're going to fry them up.

I do think that the razor wink -wink right now.

Do you want to do it? Go ahead and scale it. That's a big fish, you guys.

Slippery sucker.

I scaled a fish.

It's almost like everything that I do is kind of like to ensure Ruth Marie and

Melinda that we'll be okay without the lumberjack lady. And I hope it's working

out.

Behind each of you is a torch. Go ahead and grab a torch and approach the flame.

Dip it in and get fire.

This is part of the ritual at Tribal Council because in this game, fire

represents your life. As long as you have it, you're still in the game. When

your fire's gone, so are you.

Take a seat.

Well, welcome to Tribal Council.

Not where you want to be.

Melinda, been out here three days.

Tougher than you thought? Less tough than you expected?

No, I would say that I'm currently in Panamanian hell right about now.

I mean, this is by far the hardest thing that I've ever done in my entire life.

And it's because it's all -encompassing.

It's mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually. I mean, that's why it's so

difficult. You should try it.

Is that right, Siri?

Absolutely. I've never lived outdoors. I've never even slept outdoors.

For the people at home that are like me on the couch, stay on the couch.

I completely agree.

Seriously, it's totally crazy to me. But now that I'm here, I want to do more.

How are you doing, Tina?

I think I'm doing well. I think it's been exciting to be out there, and I

it was going to be very difficult, but I'm pretty confident in what I know how

to do.

And I've been living outdoors all my life.

Ruth Marie, that's got to be a little comforting to have somebody on your

who feels very comfortable in the outdoors. Very much so. It's been

We have someone who had those abilities and took charge. And I think we did a

good job of saying, you know, let her take the ball, run with it, and we'll

to fill in the gaps.

So, Ruth, it's starting to sound like, in some ways, Tina is leading you

these first three days.

Yeah, you can say that. She kind of took that position.

She did know how to start the fire.

She found the water.

Those are two huge things.

Starting fire and finding the water are gigantic.

But if Tina didn't find the water, I'm sure one of the three of us could have

found the water. And I believe we can start fire.

She just stepped up and started doing things. So, I mean, what do you do?

her arm? Don't do that? Don't start the fire?

Don't go fish.

Tina, do you think these other three are pulling their weight?

Not as much as I would like to.

I have a really huge work ethic, but I feel like if I keep saying, let's get

more firewood, let's go find a fishing spot, they're going to look at me as a

bigger leader than I am and then my head's on the chopping block. So I just

out by myself and work hard and have a good life.

Melinda, any disagreement on that?

No offense to Tina because she really has been out there working, but it's not

like she's out there working and the three of us are taking a nap.

I mean, all four of us are constantly doing something.

It's just that we might not be doing the same thing Tina's doing.

Okay, well, three days in, only four people.

Sadly, there is very little room to hide. One of the four of you is about to

home. It is time to vote. Melinda, you're up.

I could have learned more about you.

We just didn't click.

Somebody has to go and your fear of leaves was my biggest factor because we

to go on the leaves too.

I'll go 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 immediately.

I'll read the votes.

First vote.

Tina.

Seri. One vote Tina, one vote Seri.

Tina. Two votes, Tina.

One vote, Cerise. One vote left.

First person voted out of Survivor, Exile Island.

Tina, did you bring me a torch?

Tina,

the trap is spoken.

Well, you're only three days in to what all of you have agreed is already the

toughest thing you've ever done, and yet you vote out the one person who could

make your life a little easier.

Be interesting to see how it plays out. Grab your torches. Head back to camp.

Good night.

Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode.

Next time on Survivor.

A twist on Exile Island raises the stakes.

The pressure gets to Shane.

There's no reason for me to be doing this. Shane wants to quit.

And the storm moved in. This place breathes bad luck.

I think the girls made a huge mistake voting me out. I hope they do terribly.

Working hard is what I do, and I think it worked against me on this one, but I

would not have been able to change a thing because that's just who I am. That

was really a great experience. I have no regret.

I was just with the wrong girls.
