Day 1
On Day 1, the 19 Survivors arrive on the island of Fiji to find absolutely nothing. They ponder around the island to find water, and a shelter. But they all are wondering where Jeff Probst is. They ponder some more and out of nowhere Jeff drops a box out of the sky. Inside where instructions on how to build a perfect shelter, and that there were pre-cut lumber hidden. The men found the lumber to find shingles, a toilet seat, and tons of lumber.

Back at camp, Sylvia Kwan instructed the others where and how to build the shelter. But while Sylvia is barking out orders from left to right the others are annoyed at her. Then everyone realizes that the women had started a fire.

But the construction slowed down as others started to form alliances with each other secrectly. Later a thunderstorm pushed the shelter construction back. The castaways are stuck under a tarp and wet.

Day 2
The castaways finish their shelter and quickly build the kitchen and outhouse. They celebrate on their had work and prepare for whats to come in the near future.

Later on Night 2, Dreamz stired by conflts on race which angered the others, especially Rocky. Rocky pulled Dreamz over to the side and continued to talk down Dreamz as Dreamz continued to defend himself. Rocky left angry and went into the woods to find a quiet spot to sleep away from Dreamz.

Day 3
On Day 3, the castaways arrive to the challenge. They finally see Jeff for the first time as he introduces them to Survivor: Fiji. Jeff asks them who lead in the creation of the shelter, in which they answer Sylvia. In a big surprise, Sylvia is tasked to divide the eighteen others into tribes.

Jeff tosses the new tribes their buffs naming them Moto and Ravu. Jeff also explains that Sylvia is going to be sent to Exile Island and warns her that it is inhabited by thousand of sea snakes. But to give her a sigh of relief, a clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol is waiting for her. Before Sylvia leaves, Jeff also tells her she would replace the tribe that loses the first Immunity Challenge.

Jeff explains the challenge and show the tribes the immunity. The winning tribe would also would get to keep the original beach with extras, but the losing tribe would have to relocate to a new beach and start over from nothing.

During the challenge Ravu pulled behind early as Jessica could not untie the knots. But Michelle shortens the gap with unting the knots quicker. But Moto stumbles as Ravu pulles ahead and blows the lead to Moto during the puzzle phrase. Moto wins immunity and reward as Ravu leaves to find its new beach.

Moto returns to find many house-warming gifts and they celebrate about their victory. As they speak Sylvia arrives at Exile Island.

Sylvia to much surprise realizes that there exactually sea snakes. She finds her way to the top of the island to find that the clue is back at camp and not at Exile Island.

Ravu arrives at camp and everyone acts that their okay, but Erica is very angry with their loss. The tribe starts to debate who to vote off tonight. The tribe questions Jessica's strength mentally and physcally because of the knots and the puzzle.

At Tribal Council, Ravu talks about their new island and how great it is. The tribe also talks about Moto's advantage. The tribes vote and the votes are counted. The votes come up with one vote for Mookie, Rita, and Yau-Man. But Jessica gets five, eliminating her. Jeff says the tribe will take their torches back to camp because they do not have fire, and Sylvia will return to he game as a Ravu member.

Final Words
"ravu"

- I guess if you are going to get backstabbed it is good to get it done in the beginning when you don't know people that well. I am definitely shocked. I felt like I worked really hard so I don't know where I went wrong. I feel honoured to have been able to play a game that not many people get to play. My torch is being snuffed here but I am sure it is being lit somewhere else.

Trivia

 * This is the first time a season started with an odd number of castaways, this is due to the evacuation of Mellisa McNulty prior to the game starting. It is speclated that had the original twist played out, it would have followed a similar premise to Survivor: Cook Islands.
 * This episode marks the first time that 19 castaways started the game.
