Jeff Probst:
Coming to you live from South Korea, I'm Jeff Probst - introducing the newest reality blog series on Tengaged: Survivor South Korea. Our 20 Tengaged stars will be put on two seperate islands, and they will be forced to work together to build shelter, create fire, and find food and water. On top of all of this, they will be competing for the grand prize of one million dollars! Who will outwit, outplay, and outlast their opponents to become the sole survivor and claim the one million dollar prize? Who will get the short end of the stick? Find out on this season of Tengaged Survivor – Season 1!
*Contestants walk out of helicopters onto their tribe-colored mats*
Jeff:
Welcome everyone to South Korea! How is everyone feeling? Are you all ready to play Survivor?!
*Everyone screams "Yeah!!" with a "Hell yeah!" from a few*
Jeff:
Just to introduce everyone on each tribe, we have Anyang, who will wear blue buffs, consisting of: Lab, Sunmi, James, Cherry, Christian, Anthony, JB, Tommy, Maxine, and Timmy. On the Jeonju tribe, who will wear purple buffs, we have Jay, Victoria, Jakes, Marcus, Latoya, Nathan, Meyaar, Cali, John, and Roman.
Anthony:
Ugh, why can't I be on the purple tribe? Purple is wayyyyy more fashionable than blue. THIS IS RIGGED!
*Tommy rolls his eyes and coughs quietly*
Anthony:
I HEARD THAT! I also wish I could be on that tribe so I wouldn't have to be with you!!
Tommy:
Um, okay. I just think it's stupid that you don't want to be on this tribe simply because our color is blue and not purple.... the colors don't even really matter.
Anthony:
Whatever! Nobody even cares about your opinion!
*Everyone stands in awkward silence for a few seconds*
Cherry (confessional):
So basically I have no idea what happened the whole time those two boys were fighting because I was too busy staring at the obvious hunk of the show, Christian. He is just soooo beautiful. I need to keep my eyes on the prize though........ but Christian wouldn't be such a bad prize after all. ;)
Christian (confessional):
There was this one girl that was staring at me literally the whole time we were standing on the beach. It was kinda weird, but I don't really mind the attention at all - I mean I am gorgeous.
Jeff:
Okay well now that Anthony and Tommy have settled down after their... um, dispute.... let's get to the game! Hidden on that small island over there (*Jeff points to the small island he's talking about*) are two immunity idols, one for one person on each tribe. If you are the first to find and claim the idol, then you will be safe at the first tribal council that you attend. You can go whenever you want!
*Everyone runs into the water and starts swimming across to the other island*
Cherry (confessional):
Yep.. After watching Christian swim in the water I knew that it was love at first sight. He's just so perfect.
*Everyone gets to the island except for Sunmi who is still doggy paddling and barely halfway there*
John:
Hey, I found the idol! That wasn't too hard, it was on the front of our boat.
Christian:
Oh, thanks dude for letting me know where it is! *Christian grabs the idol from his tribe's boat*
John:
No problem - Good luck getting that girl to get over here. She's really having a hard time swimming.
Sunmi:
Guys, help! I can't swim all the way there!
*Both tribes start getting in their boats and paddling out. Anyang has to take a detour to save Sunmi*
Sunmi:
Wow, thanks guys for saving me. I'm so sorry - I am such a terrible swimmer. :(
JB (confessional):
She says that as if we couldn't see it for ourselves... *giggle*
*Tribes both arrive at their camps*
ANYANG DAY ONE -
*Everyone introduces themselves, and they all start to work on building shelter and gathering food right away*
Sunmi:
Once again everyone, I'm so so so sorry for not being able to swim all the way across. I'm really good at everything else so don't worry!
Timmy (confessional):
If she isn't good at anything else, I'm so done with her. I hate it when people pretend that they're good at things to make up for their weaknesses, and out tribe needs to be as strong as possible because the other tribe looks extremely tough.
Tommy (confessional):
Sunmi's whole "I can compensate for being the world's worst swimmer" kinda annoyed me because only time will tell her strengths and weaknesses. If she's good at other things, then that's great, but there's no reason for her to state it outright when there's no way she can prove it yet. Poor girl.
--
Maxine (confessional):
The moment I stepped on the beach I knew that I would have to be a strong social influence in order to win this game, so I decided to find one person right of the bat that I could trust and become good friends with. You never know what other people are going to do, so it's imperative that I develop strong relationships with people so they will want to keep me in.
Maxine:
Hey, your name was JB, right? I'm Maxine. It's nice to meet you.
JB:
Yeah, that's my name! Nice to meet you too, Maxine. How do you feel about our tribe? I literally lost it when I saw Sunmi flail around in the water like a fish that couldn't swim. I mean COME ON.
Maxine:
Ugh, I agree. If we lose I think that she will be the first to go because she literally did so horrible.
JB:
Is it bad that I already like you? We literally just met and for some reason I feel like you and I could work well together. Also we can gossip about things together!!
Maxine:
I totally agree! Like can you get over how hot Lab is? He'll be dangerous though. Everyone is going to be so obsessed with him and Christian, but I'm not falling for their charm!
JB:
Ugh, I know right! I agree with you though. What do you think about the fight between Tommy and Anthony?
*Maxine and JB talk all day about random things.*
--
Tommy:
Hey Anthony, I just wanted to let you know that arguing with someone early on publicly was only a strategy so I could get into an alliance early on. If nobody suspects that we'll be in an alliance together, then we will both go far. So I just wanted to let you know that it wasn't personal at all, it was actually a stratagem to form an alliance with you.
Anthony:
Awe, seriously? That's brilliant! I love it! Not as much as I love purple though.... but nonetheless, I love it!
Tommy:
Awesome. I think we should pretend to still fight with each other or not like each other that way nobody becomes suspicious of us.
Anthony:
Grrr, I hate you! ;)
--
*James hears someone crying in the bushes, so he goes to investigate it.*
James:
Awe, sweetie, what's wrong?
Sunmi:
You know exactly what's wrong! Everyone hates me and we haven't even been here one day yet!
James:
That's not true! Nobody hates you. You had one bad challenge. Don't worry too much about it.
*Lab is collecting branches and hears the two talking*
Lab:
What's going on?
James:
Sunmi is really upset because people made fun of her poor performance in the swimming activity.
Lab:
Sunmi, don't be so hard on yourself. That was a long way to swim, and if people are making fun of you then that's just immature and ridiculous. You didn't do anything wrong. You didn't cost us a challenge win or anything, so don't feel too bad.
Sunmi:
Thanks guys for trying to cheer me up. I appreciate it. If you guys are ever feeling upset, just come find me and I'll be a shoulder to lean on.
Sunmi (confessional):
My plan is working perfectly. Even though I wasn't the best at swimming, I still managed to rope in James and Lab by crying. This is great.
Lab (confessional):
Hopefully this threesome turns into a future alliance because I really like both James and Sunmi.
James (confessional):
I pray that Sunmi is good at other challenges because that was an utter failure. If she doesn't pick it up, I might have to cut her loose, but for now I think that being nice to her and comforting her will make me like her, and she won't want to vote me off in return.
--
*Timmy is walking alone on the beach, staring into the water as he walks by*
Timmy (confessional):
Nobody has really talked to me and I'm already beginning to feel lonely. I'm hoping someone will try talking to me or something because I'm way too shy to actually approach someone first.
--
JEONJU DAY ONE -
Meyaar (confessional):
After watching that one girl on the other tribe completely struggle after simply having to swim to the other island, I knew that our tribe would dominate. I'm excited!
*The tribe all gathers around the beach for self-introductions*
Jake:
I think that we should all elect a tribe leader to guide us in camp construction and challenges that way we are organized and prepared. What do you all think?
*Murmurs of agreement flow throughout the circle. John volunteers to be the leader.*
John:
I wouldn't really mind being the leader if everyone else agrees. I have experience with being outdoors and being a leader. Is that okay?
John (confessional):
While it may be a risky move developing into an early leader, I think our tribe really needs one. Jake was completely right.
Victoria (confessional):
As long as I wasn't the leader, I could care less. He's basically signing his own death note by doing this.
*Most people say yes and nod in agreement to John being the leader. Cali sits quietly and seems kinda dazed out from the discussion*
Cali (confessional):
I'm kinda annoyed that I signed up for this show because I'm going to be dirty the whole time! Ugh this is so disgusting.
--
Marcus (confessional):
Jay and Cali having done nothing all day except lay on the sand and talk about shopping... Like we're here to play a game, not to talk about whether we prefer Macy's or JCPenney. Who the hell cares!
Marcus:
I'm getting really frustrated that we're all working together so well while Cali and Jay just sit there. It's quite obnoxious. Why do they get to reap the benefits of our labor?
Latoya:
I don't know. If I were you I would confront them and tell them to start working if they want to stay in the game.
Marcus (confessional):
Does Latoya think I'm stupid or something? I'm not going to go yell at them on day one when I don't even know them yet. That would put a huge target on my back, and they still probably wouldn't even do anything. Latoya already comes across as a snake to me. I want her gone.
Latoya (confessional):
I'm trying to rope Marcus into getting himself in trouble with the two fashion queens over there on the beach. There are too many strong guys in this game, and Marcus is no exception. I am going to pretend to be his friend, but at the same time I'm going to try to convince him to spoil his game subliminally. I want him gone.
--
*John, Roman, and Nathan are gathering camp supplies*
Roman:
So what do you guys think of our tribe? I don't know about you guys, but I really like it.
Nathan:
I like it too for the most part. There's a little tension between the two lazy ducklings and the rest of the tribe though. I think most of our tribe members are scared to approach them. As long as we win challenges though, it doesn't really matter to me all that much.
John:
Yeah, I think the rest of us doing work will be enough around camp. I'm trying to help as much as possible since I'm the leader, and I want people to like me.
Nathan:
Me too. Being liked is a key factor in this game.
John:
I think that we would be a good trio. What do you guys think about forming an alliance?
*Both of the other guys agree and they all shake hands.*
Nathan (confessional):
Yay! I'm already in an alliance, and we haven't even really started the game yet.... Oh wait, well we did start but not really! Ugh, ignore me... I'm just really excited that I'm already feeling comfortable.
Roman (confessional):
Perfect.
--
Victoria:
So Latoya, what do you think about John being the leader of our tribe? I'm so thankful that it wasn't me.
Latoya:
I totally agree with ya, girl. You say that as if we could actually be leaders though!
*Victoria gives a slight, unconvincing chuckle.*
Victoria (confessional):
What the HELL is that supposed to mean? I think I'm fit to be a good leader. Who does she think she is, Jesus?

CHALLENGE DAY TWO -
Jeff:
Come on in guys!
Welcome to the first challenge of the season. This will be the beginning of a long journey out here in South Korea, so be prepared! Here's how this challenge will work-
Both tribes will assemble four puzzle wheels, attach them to a cart, and then push their cart through a series of wooden fences. Upon reaching a sandpit with the cart, you then must dig up a set of planks to make a bridge. Next you will push the cart over the bridge to a turnstile. Then you will have to remove the wheels from the cart to solve the turnstile puzzle. The first tribe to completely turn their turnstile to light the fire wok will win both immunity and fire in the form of flint. I'll give you a minute to strategize and we'll get started.
Survivors Ready? Go!
~Maxine, Tommy, Lab, Cherry, Christian, and Anthony are working on the puzzle wheels for Anyang, while Victoria, Jake, Marcus, Latoya, Meyaar, and Nathan are working on the puzzle wheels for Jeonju.
~Anyang is working together well, and they are getting their puzzle wheels together quickly! Jeonju, on the other hand, is progressing a little more slowly.
~Anyang has finished solving three of the puzzle wheels. Only one more to go! Jeonju has finished two. You're in this, Jeonju!
~Both Anyang and Jeonju have finished their wheels at the same time. Great comeback from Jeonju!
~Timmy and James are pulling the cart for Anyang; John and Roman are pulling theirs for Jeonju!
~Both tribes rip through the obstacles, great effort from everyone so far!
~Both tribes also get to the sandpit at the same time! Everyone is digging up their planks now. Sunmi is already tired just from the run with the cart! Pick it up, Sunmi, start digging up those planks! Do you WANT to win?
~Everyone is working well together on Jeonju. They have all of their planks and are putting the bridge together. Anyang is still digging!
~Jeonju has placed all of their planks and is heading across the bridge. Anyang is quickly falling behind!
~Finally, Anyang has all of their planks and can begin working on the bridge! Pick up the pace!!
~Anyang quickly places their planks on the bridge. They're still in this!
~Jeonju has smacked into a huge boulder! This is going to cost them some time! John and Roman steered the wrong way!
~Anyang is pulling ahead now! They have reached their mat and can begin taking apart their wheels!
Sunmi:
Guys, I can solve this puzzle. Let me prove my worth!
~Sunmi is taking a risky step by offering to do the whole puzzle, but her tribe is letting her. Get started, Sunmi!
~Jeonju has now reached their mat, and they have begun working on taking their puzzle wheels apart. This is a close race!
~Sunmi is quickly causing Anyang to lose their lead!
Timmy:
Sunmi, let us help you! Ten heads are better than one!
Sunmi:
Fine, fine, I guess I'm not as good as I thought I was.....
~All of the Anyang members are working on the puzzle now. All of the members of Jeonju are working together efficiently except for Jay and Cali who both look completely lost.
~Both tribes have their puzzle pieces in the turnstile at the same time! It will be a race to see who can push the turnstile faster!

Anyang has won the first immunity challenge!
*Members of Anyang all celebrate while the Jeonju members look around at each other with faces of disappointment. Marcus even sneers at Jay and Cali.*
--
JEONJU DAY TWO -
John:
I'm so sorry guys for letting you down at the challenge. Maybe I'm not quite cut out to be the leader.
Meyaar:
Yes you are! It wasn't your fault we lost. We were so close! Everyone makes mistakes, and we recovered from you and Roman hitting the rock. I think if two people would've tried harder towards the end we would've won... What do you think?
*Jay and Cali are already long gone from the rest of the tribe conversation. They have already walked to the beach and were discussing funny moments in the challenge.*
Roman:
Yeah, I'm also sorry for accidentally steering the cart the wrong way.
Meyaar:
At least you had the balls to step up and pull the cart. Nobody else besides you and John wanted to do it, so I don't blame either of you at all - it was the hardest part of the challenge, in my opinion, and I wasn't even doing it!
Meyaar (confessional):
Well don't I look stupid now for saying that we're a way better tribe? Sunmi still sucked though, just saying.
Roman (confessional):
Meyaar really made me and John feel better after our challenge loss. Maybe he will be a good ally in the future. I don't know for sure though. We'll have to see, won't we?
--
Marcus:
I still think that Cali and Jay are the worst for our tribe. One of them should be voted out tonight.
Latoya:
I agree with you. Let's go tell the others. I'll talk to Victoria because she and I already talked earlier yesterday, and you can talk to Jake I guess.
Marcus:
Okay.
Marcus (confessional):
I don't really appreciate the way Latoya is bossing me around when I'm the one who wants Jay or Cali out. She can go fuck herself for all I care.
--
Latoya:
I'm so upset that we lost the challenge! Jay and Cali were both so horrible.
Victoria:
I know. One of them has to go tonight if we want to win challenges in the future.
Latoya:
I agree with you. They are huge liabilities.
Victoria (confessional):
My conversation with Latoya before Tribal Council was very brief and awkward. I think that she is just trying to use me as a vote to get Jay or Cali out. Luckily I agree with her. If I didn't there would be some drama in the camp for sure.
--
Marcus:
Hey Jake!
Jake:
What's up?
Marcus:
Not much, just kinda bummed that we lost the challenge. I say we vote out either Jay or Cali tonight. Latoya and Victoria are already on board.
Jake:
I agree completely.
Jake (confessional):
Of course I'm going to agree with Marcus and tell him that I want to vote with him. That won't prevent me from starting a little bit of drama though. ;)
--
Cali:
He just decided that he wanted to break up with me for no reason, so I smacked him!
Jay:
That's so rude! How dare he just abandon you like that!
Cali:
I know, right?
Jake:
Hey you two.
Cali:
Can't you see we're having an important conversation here? Mind your own business!
Jake:
Um, I just wanted to talk to you about the votes because Marcus, Latoya, and Victo---
Jay:
Shut up! Nobody even cares. As she said, mind your own business!
Jake:
Okay, whatever. I was just trying to help you guys... When one of you gets voted out tonight don't cry to me at tribal council.
Cali:
What's a tribal council?
Jake:
I seriously can't with you people.
Jake (confessional):
I might as well vote with Marcus, Latoya, and Victoria now. I mean I'm pretty sure the whole tribe is going to vote for one of them: the only question is which one? I'm seriously so pissed with them for being so rude. No more Mr. Nice Guy out of me.
*Jake walks away*
Jay:
Ugh, thank God he's finally gone. How annoying was that?
Cali:
Super annoying! I'm gonna vote for him tonight. Who does he think he is ruining our discussion like that?
Jay:
You're so smart! I TOTALLY agree.
Cali:
Oh my gosh no way! This is going to be so fun! Seriously though, what the actual fuck is a tribal council?
Jay:
Beats me. It sounds like a courtroom: JAKE - GUILTY!
Cali:
You are like the funniest person ever!
--
TRIBAL COUNCIL (JEONJU NIGHT TWO) -
Jeff:
Everyone grab a torch, approach the flame, and get fire. In this game fire represents your life. Once your fire is gone, so are you.
*Everyone gets their torch and puts it in the fire. Jay and Cali have a sparring match with their torches before getting fire. Victoria, Jake, and Marcus roll their eyes while Latoya tries to hold back a laugh of pity.*
Jeff:
Victoria, I'll start with you. How did you feel about losing the challenge earlier today?
Victoria:
It was kinda upsetting, but in another way it was also beneficial for us because it gives us all the opportunity to cut a weak link from our tribe.
Jeff:
Jay, Victoria mentions the term "weak link" while referring to the tribe. Would you consider yourself a weak link?
Jay:
I'm definitely NOT a wingling, whatever that is anyway... Victoria why are you so rude?
*Victoria slaps her hand against her forehead.*
Marcus:
Jay and Cali definitely proved to be the worst competitors today in the challenge. They didn't even try to help with the puzzle.
Cali:
It's not our fault we are terrible at puzzles!
Victoria:
Yeah, it kinda is, honestly...
Cali:
Whatever, Victoria. You're just jealous that you're not as cool as us.
Victoria:
Yep, you caught me! I wish I was as cool as the two losers who just sat on the beach the whole time. At least I know what a fucking tribal council is.
Jay:
Ouch, that was a good one.
Cali:
Whose side are you even on?!
Jeff:
Okay, enough, enough!!! Moving on - Meyaar, was there a lot of strategizing around camp today?
Meyaar:
In all honesty, there was little to no strategizing around camp today. I think there's a general consensus as to who will be voted out tonight.
Jay:
Yep, bye Jake!
*Everyone starts giggling, and Jake looks shocked, yet he can't help himself from smiling.*
Jay:
Why is everyone laughing?
Meyaar:
We're laughing because you're just SO funny, Jay.
Cali:
Oh my gosh, I so agree!
Jeff:
Okay, let's get to the votes. Remember, you cannot vote for John because he got the individual immunity idol for this tribal council. Do you want to use it on someone else?
John:
I'm going to keep it for myself, Jeff.
Jeff:
Okay, Roman, you're up.
ROMAN: ?
LATOYA: ?
VICTORIA: ?
CALI: My vote is for Jake. You really need to learn to mind your own business, and it was soooo rude of you to not even tell me what a tribal council is. I hate secrets!
JOHN: ?
JAKE: ?
NATHAN: ?
JAY: I'm voting for that sleaze Jake. How dare you try to mess with me and my boo Cali!
MARCUS: ?
MEYAAR: ?
Jeff:
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 ~ JAKE

Second Vote ~ JAKE

The first person voted out of Survivor Tengaged 1......... JAY.
Time for you to bring me your torch.
Cali:
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
*Jay gives Cali a goodbye hug.*
Jeff:
Jay, your tribe has spoken.
*Jay walks away and gives a cute wave to everyone and then points a finger gun at Jake and pretends to shoot him. Jake rolls his eyes and Meyaar and Victoria laugh.*
Jeff:
Well it seems as if you have all decided to vote out your weakest member. Head on back to camp, and try to stay dry tonight. It looks like a storm is coming in soon!
Jay (final words):
Well I came out here to make a good friend in someone similar to me, and that's exactly what I did. They must have been too blinded by my popularity to keep me in the game; I mean, I AM amazing. Cali better pull through with me and figure out what a tribal council is because I want to know desperately. I kinda feel like I've heard those words somewhere before though... like recently. Who knows?
Considering posting the dress..kinda reminds me of a winter fairy idk.
