Yasawa Islands, Fiji
June 6
Nine strangers, teamed in groups of
three, are about to be whisked away to the islands of Fiji for 72 hours
with no food, no shelter, and only one bottle of water. Danger awaits
them at every corner, but if they make it out on the other side, there
is $100,000 waiting for them.

There's only one rule... Be the first
team to find the briefcase of money... and you get to take it home. But
there is a catch. You have to FIND IT first. Aside from fresh clothes
and a bottle of water each, you have a GPS and a walkie-talkie. The GPS
will lead you to supply drops toward the money, and the radio will be
your lifeline for survival. But... you have to swim for it. GAME ON!
We start with a three-mile hike to Supply
Drop 1, on the shore, signified by a windsock.
Chris sees drama from the beginning with
Lindsay who professionally pops zits. She says she's secretly smart and
talented... yeah. Christian thinks that Alex wants to have sex with him,
while Dayna's trying not to be a bitch... TRYING.
SUPPLY DROP 1
Blue is first to reach the drop. Each
team has their choice of items in three identical cases. Every supply is
necessary for survival, so choosing the right items to carry with you is
crucial.
BLUES: Flares, machete, flippers, dry
bag, waterproof matches, grill, wire, spearhead.
The Reds are just behind.
REDS: Bamboo mat, flares, machete,
flippers, dry bag, waterproof matches, grill, wire, spearhead.
The Greens finally arrive in last...
GREENS: Flares, inner tube, pump,
machete, flippers, dry bag, waterproof matches, wire, spearhead.
To get to the other side of the island,
you're going to have to swim. The Blues start to get heavy-handed, while
Corey can't swim. He needed that innertube. They finally get to land,
and Corey's feeling exhausted.
Dayna is getting a Charlie horse, but the
Reds come together to make the trip happen. Christian, meanwhile, thinks
their matches are ruined. Their waterproof matches... Think about that
for a moment.
Supply Drop 2 is located on Nanuya
Island. Teams will have to traverse the jungles of Drawaqa Island first.
The good news.. there are pineapples along the way if you know where to
look. The bad news... there are also really big spiders. Christian is
not the smartest bulb in the box, and he's beginning to lose his team in
more ways than one.
At least he doesn't lead his team back to
where they started... CHRIS.
Each team is equipped with the ability to
call for a Relief Drop, which will always contain water, limited food,
and supplies. You can call for it if you need it, but it comes with a
one-hour penalty. The Reds radio for a Relief Drop.
Meanwhile, Lindsay is starting to keel
over from her pineapple, ultimately vomiting in the jungle. The Greens
decide to set up camp and call their hike off early.
Night is beginning to fall on Drawaqa
Island. Because the players are only allowed to make their moves during
daylight, they must now get ready to call it a night.
We haven't heard from the Blues, who are
way out in the lead that they are the first to find storm clouds.
Meanwhile, Christian on the Reds... is stuck with a bum fire.
The first night is brutal all around. The
next day, Lindsay takes the GPS and leads the Green Team away. The Blues
need to take a moment because of Corey's knee. The heat and the lack of
water is making it hard to walk.
Christian turns out to be deathly afraid
of spiders... while Lindsay is taking the reigns for the Greens and
leading them back into this thing. But Chris needs to get out of the sun
due to him being dehydrated. Will they take the penalty or not? They...
do.
The Blues arrive at the shore getting
ready to swim to Supply Drop 2. Garfield helps Corey out, and the team
makes it to the other side. Meanwhile, the other two teams are still
struggling on Drawaqa Island.
SUPPLY DROP 2
The Blues are the first to reach Brandon
at the second Supply Drop. It's... a BOAT. The Reds are hot on their
heels. They're going to need these kayaks, because it's a six-mile row.
BUT... it's almost sundown.
Meanwhile, Christian didn't know that
hand sanitizer was flammable. Didn't also know that Lindsay's mother was
a survivalist and that she's a youth camp leader. See? She's smart.
The next day, it's time to row across the
Pacific to Waya Island and Supply Drop 3. Six miles is a long long
way... too long for Shelise. She's nauseous, but she decides to push
through it. Once they get to the island, they have to wade through thick
bush. The Greens are in third, but have found a clear path to the Drop.
The Reds and the Blues are still neck and neck and climbing.
Garfield gets dizzy upon standing up, so
they decide to call for the drop. This may cost them the race.
Meanwhile, the Reds are trying to get
their bearings together. Alex is trying to rally the troops... and it
works as they find the third Drop...
SUPPLY DROP 3
And behind them... Green Team. Each team
gets their final coordinates to the money and one last supply... dive
masks.
Remember, you must all touch the
briefcase together.
The Reds jump in the water immediately,
while the Greens do a little extra hiking. Chris GETS THE SUITCASE
first! They could win it here... but even after a rogue wave, the GREEN
TEAM WINS!
So the Green Team of Lindsay, Chris, and
Michelle all come from worst to first to get the cash!
