Day 1:
24 contestants were dropped into the ocean, 2 miles off the coast of a remote island. As they jumped ship and swam ashore, nobody knew what was in store. Slowly, each castaway reached the shore, soaking wet and unsure of their fate.
Before they knew it, they were lead around the bend and discovered 24 circular logs laying in the sand. As they picked numbers from a bag to determine the order, 1 by 1 they stepped onto a log of their choice. On the count of three, they flipped their logs and were divided into 3 tribes of 8.
As the celebration and introductions came to a close the three tribes were given a map, some flint, rice, and sent on their way to their camps. Slowly but surely each tribe arrived to their campsite and immediately began work on their shelters. All too quickly, the sun set and each tribe laid down to rest in the beginnings of their new homes.
Day 2:
As the sun rose on Day 2, each tribe found their first piece of tree-mail and excitedly headed out to compete in their first immunity challenge. As the challenge began, the Green tribe showcased their amazing ability to work as a team and took an early lead. However, the Purple and Blue tribes were not far behind. When it came down to the final leg of the competition, a lapse in communication struck the Green tribe and both the Purple and Blue tribes were able to sneak by and claim immunity sending the Green tribe back to camp to prepare for the first tribal council.
Back at camp, the game was on as the 8 members of the Green tribe scrambled to figure out who would be the first one sent home. The decision was difficult because they worked together so well, but someone had to go. That is the name of the game. Feeling the pressure, and being a fan of the game, #EyooMarcus knew that somewhere on their camp was a hidden immunity idol. As everyone paired off to go discuss the vote, #EyooMarcus stayed behind and searched the camp high and low for the idol. As he almost turned away from the tribe flag to go search in the woods, he noticed, at the top of the flag pole, a circular pole topper that could potentially come off. He looked around, saw nobody, and quickly took the flag out of the sand, unscrewed the top, and discovered the first Hidden Immunity Idol! After stabbing the flag back into the sand, he raced into the woods to collect his reward and hide it in the pocket of his shorts. Would he tell anyone about his amazing discovery, or keep it to himself? A few hours later, the tribe went on their way to the first Tribal Council
Tribal Council:
After lighting their torches in the fire, each tribe member took their seat and looked around nervously. Hours later, after getting grilled by the host, it was time to vote. Just like in the competition, the tribe seemed unified about how to make the decision of who to send home. One by one, the tribe went into the voting booth and cast their vote and when the vote was read, it came down to a 7-1 vote. iamtrey was sent home. The majority of the tribe felt that it was trey's fault for the lapse in communication and he payed the ultimate price of being the first person voted out of Survivor: Rookies.
