Eighteen new castaways are abandoned on the breathtaking islands of Fiji, where they must learn to adapt or they will be voted out; tribes must quickly pick up the pieces in the first challenge of the season to earn a pot, machete and flint.

Three castaways go on a journey and make a big decision that will impact the game; in the challenge, tribes must climb their way to the top to earn a reward that will provide comfort at camp as well as safety in the game.
