PREVIOUSLY ON SURVIVOR: The newest season of Celebrity Island kicked off, and the twenty-one contestants were ready to do battle. It was announced that an idol would be hidden at each camp, and the first challenge would be a brutal trek through the jungle. It would take almost a whole day, 24 hours, to reach camp and by the time one team would make it to camp, it would be time to go to tribal. All three tribes started their treks through the jungle. On the Lights team, Jordan saw that he was one of the youngest and immediately befriended Kate and Tia, attempting to try and target the older people. He said that George and Bill would be the two weakest, and they’d need Julie and Alton for a vote to go after one of them. On the Camera side, Frankie was already in game mode, but knew he had to start making friends, so he talked to Lea and Derek, two people who were theatre oriented, and attempted to earn their trust. Lea, however, didn’t trust Frankie too much, as he had competed on Big Brother. Amanda was already feeling sick from the walk, and Nikki just wanted to hustle back to camp so they could look for the idol. As for Team Action, Kathy was already cracking jokes that were getting on Snooki’s nerves. Joey and Kaitlyn could see the reactions from Snooki, and they made eye contact, knowing they were on similar pages. Steve felt ill, not being in this much sun all at once, and Ben helped carry his load. Tamera was worried for her sister, not knowing if the two would be able to make it to the merge together, but wanted to try her best to make it happen. The tribes were halfway through their day, and the Lights team was trailing the pack after Bill and George needed to take a break to rest. Bill told George that he had his back, and Tia and Tamera being in the game together worried him, despite being on separate teams. Team Action was killing the game, as Steve was trying to overcome the illness. When the night became morning again, Team Action had finally won the challenge, getting a day of rest in reward. Steve was okay, and just needed rest. Team Camera made it back to camp, but Amanda needed to be checked out by medical for possible heat stroke. Team Lights finally made it and realized they had lost and had to have tribal council immediately. Jordan said that it was going to be a random vote because they didn’t know each other enough. George said that he barely got to talk to Tia or Kate, and he would just base his vote on the long term game. Julie knew to expect the unexpected, like her show Big Brother, and this vote would be strictly for the tribe, not personal gain. In the end, George and Bill voted for Tia, while Julie, Tia, Alton, Jordan, and Kate all voted for George, sending George packing. George gave a “live long and prosper,” before seeing his torch snuffed. Team Lights got to finally settle into camp and rest for the day.
