Hello everyone! Welcome to the Aleipata islands, where you hope to be spending the next 39 days.

You will be  split into 2 tribes! Azri, Cassandra, Ashley, Michael-Caleb, Preston, Violet, Haylee and Dylan, head over to that mat. Victoria, Jerry, TJ, X, Zach, Connor, Kara and Jack, stay here. Here are all your buffs! These are your tribes.

Fuafuaga Tribe (Pink Buffs)
Azri (Subfriend)
Cassandra (Scott123)
Ashley (AshleyIocco)
Michael-Caleb (Moondancer63)
Preston (Psquared)
Violet (Violetx)
Haylee (Kaylabby)

Jerry (GerardoM13)
TJ (TJ2807)
X (FireX)
Zach (Zachboy967)
Connor (laughingoutloud)
Kara (K4r4k)

These tribes may or may not be subject to change at any moment. For now, get to know the members of your tribe. You may be with them for a while, and you may be heading to tribal council together where these people will be trying to kill you. I mean, vote you out.

So, here are a few things you'll need to know!

Your first challenge will be posted tonight (Wednesday the 14th) at 10:00 EST! It will last about 24 hours. The ending of the challenge may be pushed back a little bit. I will not push it forward though, so I don't cut anyone short.

There will not be hidden immunity idols in play this season.

Please send confessionals! You do not have to include me on conversations unless you deem them as very important.

Let me know if you have any questions - I will answer them!

Good luck everybody!
