Episode One: True Lies
Day
One:
Our story begins in a remote location to the northeast of Indonesia in the Pacific Ocean. A small white fishing boat speeds towards the island facing the sunrise. Upon this boat is where this series begins, and where sixteen average American's greatest journey will start. The boat bounces up and down amongst the waves as our camera pans to two young men standing on the bow of the boat. These two stand in tan khaki pants and loose-fit shirts. The one of the two individuals with parted; brown hair speaks up and says into the cameras pointing to himself and the person standing next to him: “My name is Christopher Lawrence, and this is my fellow host Adam Raver, we would like to welcome you to Survivor: Indonesia. Sixteen Average Americans are stowed away below the decks on this ship. They begin their journey in this game tantamount to each other, they are all complete strangers and are not allowed to speak to one another until they are completely abandoned in the wild. These people will then be stranded on a deserted and unforgiving location where they must survive as tribes and individuals learning to create their own shelter and provide themselves with food. They must adapt well in this game, or they will be voted out of the tribe.” The second young man, Adam, steps up to the camera and states, “This is all correct. The premise of this game is simple. We will abandon these sixteen people, from all walks of life, out here on Siau Island, northeast of Indonesia. Every few days, the Survivors must come together to participate in challenges. These challenges will offer rewards. Some of these rewards may be as simple as a warm meal or clean clothes, and others will offer immunity. After these Immunity challenges, the Survivors must gather at Tribal Council to vote someone out of the tribe. The number of Survivors will dwindle down until only one person in the end will win the title of Ultimate Survivor and the prize of One Million dollars. These Survivors are in for thirty-nine days of twists, turns and excited events that will baffle them in their quest to be the Ultimate Survivor. This game challenges these people to outwit, outplay and outlast fifteen others in their quest to be the last one who remains. Who will that Survivor be? Stay tuned to Survivor: Indonesia.”
Two Tribes- The small fishing boat took anchor an eighth of a mile away from the coast of the island the sixteen men and women would be spending the next thirty-nine days. The sixteen average Americans were separated onto two competing tribes. There is the Bulan Tribe (derived from the Indonesian word meaning “moon”) whom will always wear red, and the Matahari Tribe (derived from the Indonesian word meaning “sun”) whom will always wear green. On these tribes, the tribe members would have to begin to build two completely different tribal societies. Two crates of minimal supplies were given to each tribe and they had to begin their grueling two-mile trip to their new camps using only the rafts and oars they were given and their physical strength. The Bulan Tribe consists of: Emily Carter, a thirty-three year old singer/musician from San Francisco, California; Trinity Sanders, a twenty-two year old registered nurse from Salt Lake City, Utah; Marco Narson, a twenty-four year old fifth grade teacher from New York City, New York; Mick Garder, a fifty-four year old dairy farmer from Nankin, Ohio; Asher Cambridge, a twenty-six year old college student from Hagerstown, Maryland; Cole Couirier, a thirty-eight year old web designer from Raleigh, North Carolina; Madison McGregor, a twenty-seven year old cosmetologist from Billings, Montana and Karen Hopkins, a forty-two year old real estate agent from Reno, Nevada. The opposing competitive tribe is the Matahari Tribe, which consists of: Olivia Edyta, a twenty-eight year old dental assistant from Santa Fe, New Mexico; Kyle Vadin, a twenty-two year old college student from Columbus, Georgia; Cecely Evan, a thirty-five year old salesperson from Annapolis, Maryland; Babette Laure, a twenty-three year old waitress from Los Angeles, California; Harriet Dory, a fifty-one year old college professor from Casper, Wyoming; Mark Pace, a thirty-six year old computer programmer from Sacramento, California; Ruben Fritz, a twenty-four year old stockbroker from Indianapolis, Indiana and Tyler Hargrave, a forty-four year old bartender from Las Vegas, Nevada. Immediately the two separate tribes of eight began the task of finding their camps by paddling out to the coast of their camp which lies approximately two-miles from the drop off point. “Almost immediately, I could tell this game was going to be completely physically draining,” Kyle Vadin from Matahari stated, “it was apparent with that first trek out to camp.”
