The Tagi Tribe - Toad, Rosalina, Peach, Luigi, Thwomp, Spiny, Fawful, Birdo The Pagong Tribe - Mario/Jumpman, Lakitu, Luma, Yoshi, Wart, Buzzy Beetle, Chuckya, Chain Chomp *Back at the beach for the reward challenge, Jeff Probst finishes explaining the rewards for the winning tribe, “for two tribes desperately attempting to establish camp, this is an enormous reward,” says Jeff, “Tribes select your first runners!” Tagi selects Toad and Pagong selects Mario. Toad vs Mario: -Mario/Jumpman jumps out to an early lead. Toad appears to be gaining ground, but Mario tears through the opening section of the obstacle course. Mario has captured the first bag of puzzle pieces! Mario makes it back to his tribe and tags Chain Chomp for the second leg of the race. Chain Chomp takes off and absolutely flies through the course. “Chain Chomp really pulling through for the Pagong tribe, he has reached the second station, Pagong pulls even further ahead,” says Jeff. -Toad finally makes it back and tags Peach, but she immediately is not the fastest runner. She does however move carefully and efficiently. “Peach has retrieved the second bag for Tagi, Tagi not out of this yet!” says Jeff. Tagi has already selected Rosalina to do the puzzle, and another castaway makes note of the fact that the tribe thinks Rosalina is a good puzzle solver to the whole tribe. -Peach makes it back and tags Thwomp for the third and final leg of the race. Thwomp is effective, but also gets a few laughs from the castaways for his performance. Thwomp completely crashes through one of the obstacles…and another one. Until he is kind of destroying the entire course. Chuckya is tagged for the final part for Pagong and he does not fare much better. He too essentially destroys the course so both castaways return with the final bag for their tribes at the same time, so we go to the puzzle. -Both tribes open their bags and puzzle pieces scatter everywhere on both beaches. The puzzle is Lakitu, Luma, Yoshi, Wart, and Mario for Pagong vs Rosalina, Peach, Fawful, Birdo, and Luigi for Tagi. Both tribes immediately fail with their first few attempts. One castaway on Tagi starts shouting instructions to their tribe, “put that piece there, no! There! Listen to me!” They are promptly ignored. One castaway is studying the pieces carefully instead. -On Pagong, one castaway notices that the red cap goes toward the top of the mushroom. One castaway finds two matching pieces and another castaway places them. They click together and the mushroom begins to take shape. However, Tagi is making up for lost time and gaining ground. One castaway recognizes the final area that they need to complete the puzzle. “Turn that piece!” They shout to another castaway who turns it and they click into place. They are getting closer to the end of their puzzle, but… -Pagong realizes they only have one piece left. The seeming leader of the tribe grabs it and pushes it into place quickly. “The mushroom is complete! Pagong wins reward!” shouts Jeff and Pagong celebrates happily. One castaway bounces around excitedly, two castaways hug, one castaway throws up their arms, one has a satisfied smile, but Tagi watches dejectedly from the other side of the obstacle course, their puzzle only pieces away from completion. *“For winning the reward challenge, Pagong you have earned flint, fishing gear, cooking supplies, a tarp, and an advantage in the immunity challenge. Congratulations,” Jeff says handing over the reward. Several castaways are immediately grateful for the tarp, stating multiple uses for it and how valuable it is. Pagong realizes they have been given a great leg up towards a functioning camp life. Two castaways start to set up the fishing gear already. One studies the shore for possible fishing locations. Several castaways have their minds elsewhere. *But, for Tagi, they were just handed their first loss of the game. They return to camp with nothing. Their shelter is non-existent, no tarp, cooking supplies, fishing gear, or flint. The mood around camp has becoming noticeably palpable. “We really need that reward,” says one. “We will be fine,” says another. *One castaway looks at their tribemates and says, “we absolutely need to win immunity.” A castaway smiles at this, but says, “yes, but we also need to figure out who was responsible for our loss today.” To which another castaway looks at them and responds, “nobody was, we just were not the better tribe out there today.” The first castaway replies back, “sounds like something somebody who feels guilty would say.” The small social group reconvenes as the afternoon goes on, and they officially begin to work together. However, it is still not officially an alliance. They are just becoming more and more comfortable together. One castaway is obviously the social one of the group, two of them trust them and the third enjoys spending time with them. Meanwhile, the social one is also developing links with the other members of the tribe. One castaway notices all of this, they approach another castaway. -“It seems that our tribe has been taken over.” The other castaway looks annoyed. “Is that right?” The first castaway says, “yeah, it is, so we can stay here at the bottom or we can do something about it.” The second castaway does not fully trust them, but the idea is worth considering. Later, the first castaway approaches another, but this castaway is not interested in talking strategy. -The first castaway says, “you know that they are all afraid of your enormous physical strength?” The castaway just stares at them as they continue, “that means they think you are a threat.” The second castaway just mumbles something and the first castaway assumes that means they are on the same page. Back at the Pagong beach, they settle into their first real night as a tribe, and their first real meal. The fishing gear they won has already paid off. One castaway proves their worth with the food around camp. One castaway feels exhausted, but happy that they won the first challenge. -One castaway asks, “this is really fun, don’t you think?” To which another castaway responds, “ask us again if we lose the immunity challenge.” One castaway sits slightly apart from this group, they see an obvious problem like they did in the morning. The center of attention, asking these questions, that castaway is very likeable, physically strong, and smart. But eliminating this castaway first would prove difficult. So, he pulls aside a different castaway and another one and a third wanders over to them as well. These are not exactly in what could be called an alliance yet, but they are already coming together as a group under the idea that the one castaway trying to control the tribe should not be allowed to do so without a challenge. *The tribes get tree mail telling them it is now time to go to the beach for their second challenge. Jeff begins, “immunity is up for grabs! Winning tribe is safe from the tribal council, while the losing tribe must go to the first tribal council of the season and vote one of their own off of the island. Worth playing for?” The mood shifts, they all realize this isn’t about fishing gear, it has real consequences, and someone will be going home if they don’t win this. -The challenge is running through and navigating an obstacle course while carrying heavy backpacks, crossing the balance section as a tribe, and then completing the puzzle of a goal pole. Pagong leads 2-0 in the immunity challenge. #bloggames #survivor

Survivor Borneo: “16 castaways, 2 tribes, 1 Survivor!” -This morning, sixteen castaways arrive on a beach in a Borneo. The boat approaches the island. Their tribes were already predetermined before they even set foot on the boat and each castaway arrives with almost nothing. -Our host, Jeff Probst, tells them to quickly hop off the boat, take as many supplies as they can and head for shore. Once there, he informs them that they will be divided into two tribes of eight. They will live together, compete together, compete in challenges, and, one by one, vote each other off the island. They were brought here to survive not only the terrain, but each other. Eventually, the tribes will merge into one and they will compete as individuals, but, ultimately, only one of them can be crowned sole survivor and be rewarded one million coins. *They are then divided into/told their tribes: The Tagi Tribe – Toad, Rosalina, Peach, Luigi, Thwomp, Spiny, Fawful, Birdo The Pagong Tribe – Mario, Lakitu, Luma, Yoshi, Wart, Buzzy Beetle, Chuckya, Chain Chomp -They are tasked with building their camps, establishing shelter, gathering food and water, and immediately trust becomes the big question around both camps. The nature of their new social experiment means that nobody knows what to expect. Nobody knows how quickly alliances will shape the game to come. -The castaways all get their first real look at one another in this setting. Some obviously sizing up the competition. Some are noticeably trying to look like they are helping everyone, others are purposely fading into the background and watching, and some are just smiling. Some begin to look for supplies, some just watch everyone or one specific castaway, and some big energies begin to make their presence felt. *The Tagi Tribe hit the beach running. One castaway immediately made gathering supplies their focus, “get wood, get leaves, get something to sleep on!” they shouted, their enthusiasm was enough to get the others to follow. One castaway emerges by checking in on the entire tribe, making everyone feel included. Meanwhile, one castaway is noticeably not saying anything, but they are watching and they lock eyes with a second castaway doing the same. They approach each other, make jokes and compliments, and laugh, and they develop the first bond on the tribe. -Meanwhile, another castaway struggles, they claim that the island is not suited for them and jumps backwards at the sight of a large insect, they say that their best friend would know exactly how to handle this. Another castaway reassures them that they are doing fine, and a small bridge of trust forms. Two castaways are not nearly interested in talking with the group, they provide short answers when asked, they help gather wood, but don’t particularly enjoy being told what to do, so they feel a connection. -When the afternoon arrives, a small social group has formed. The word alliance is not used, but they spend most of their time together. One of them believes one of the outsiders is too unpredictable, but keeps it to themselves for now. *Over with Pagong, things are considerably more unclear. One castaway immediately takes charge of building a shelter, one looks for food, one examines the area around them, one just does general assisting work, things appear structured on the outside. One castaway is bouncing around attempting to appear helpful, another castaway notices and confronts them politely, and a third castaway just watches and laughs at the situation. -One castaway quickly establishes themselves as the strongest worker on the tribe and appears to be the only one interested in leading. They are chopping wood, carrying supplies, and organizing the shelter and the camp. However, not all of the castaways want an obvious leader of the tribe. -Making sure the obvious leader is distracted by work with another castaway, a couple of castaways with concerns discuss the situation and how good the leader is, and they understand each other immediately. Neither suggests anything yet, but the conversation took place. *The following day, each camp receives a message telling them to meet at the beach. Both tribes arrive at the beach to see a giant obstacle course set up. *The rules of the challenge are the tribes must race through the obstacle course, retrieve three bags containing puzzle pieces, carry the bags back, and be the first tribe to complete the puzzle of a mushroom. The winning tribe receives flint, fishing gear, cooking supplies, and a tarp. Worth playing for? (The winning tribe also receives a 2 vote advantage in the immunity challenge.)
