We’ve heard quite a bit about this season. It’s finally time for it to begin. Returning players will be matched against their loved ones. Gervase, Kat, Rupert, Laura, Colton, Candice, Monica, Tina, Tyson, Aras are starting off with their loved ones at different spots on the island. They are spending the night alone in the jungle with their loved ones.
The next morning, none of the pairs seem to have any problems finding Jeff. The players are shocked to hear that they will be split up from their loved ones. Brad Culpepper gets some death stares for saying he would like his wife to be more comfortable than himself. Jeff says that each tribe will vote someone off.
The loved ones are voting for Laura. She’s voted out. The favorites are also voting for Laura. Candice gets 3 votes. Laura has got the same amount. Candice has 5. She’s out. Jeff tells them that they are not out of the game. He says that Redemption Island is back in play this season. They will be the first competitors. Jeff offers Rupert a chance to take Laura’s place. He immediately does so. Tina is annoyed. Candice gets the same opportunity. John lets her face Rupert. WTF?
At Galang, the returning players take stock of their supplies. Animosity is high against Laura. They start work on the shelter and fire. Tyson knows how to start it. They get it started in 15 minutes. Colton is the odd duck out. Monica dislikes him. They make fake friends.
At Tadhana, they are also working hard. Brad tries to make amends about his earlier comments. Brad wants to start a guy’s alliance. John thinks that this could make problems because Brad is stepping into a leader’s position. None of the guys is really interested, except Vytas. Brad demonstrates his inferior arithmetic skills by trying to sat that 4 will rule the 9-member Tadhana tribe. They haven’t got fire, so they can’t boil any water. Ciera was a teen mom, and also has another kid. Vytas reveals that he was a drug addict as a teenager. He spent a year in jail. He’s been clean for 14 years and he’s a yoga teacher.
At Galang, Colton opens up about being gay in the South. He has a cry and a “poor me” moment. I don’t care. It won’t take long for the nasty Colton to make his comeback.
At Redemption Island, Candice is pissed at being voted off. Rupert is chilling. Candice is annoyed with him because she’s doing all of the work while Rupert is lounging in the water and taking naps. Rupert wants to conserve his strength.
The next day, the tribes get tree mail. There are a few clues about the challenge. The moms and daughters are going to square off in the puzzle making.
It’s time for the immunity challenge. The favorites say they have everything. The loved ones lie and say they also have fire. Six members of each tribe will race along pontoons to untie a boat and paddle back. They will retrieve puzzle pieces. The remaining players will assemble a puzzle. The returning players have the early lead but Tadhana surges ahead by working together. Galang is dragging Gervase along, who is struggling. He can’t even swim anymore. Why did he bother coming?
The favorites don’t know how to paddle so the loved ones are still ahead. They start working on the puzzles. They have to assemble a ship’s wheel. Ciera and Katie are losing Tadhana’s lead. The favorites are in the lead and have started on the second bag. Then they work on their third. Galang wins. Gervase the weakling is trash-talking. They also get flint. They didn’t need it but the new tribe did.
Brad has to give a pep talk to his tribe. They all laugh at Gervase. Now the boys think that they are strong but they haven’t figured out who to vote out. Brad puts out Marissa’s name because she’s related to Gervase. Katie was also weak. Caleb has got no problem voting either of them out. Vytas starts blabbing to the girls about the boys club.
It’s time for tribal. They admit that they don’t have fire. Ciera is starving. John has a cry about leaving his wife on Redemption. Gervase. Is the topic because he was gloating. Katie is worried about her performance in the challenge.
