What transpired in the premiere episode of Survivor Season 43?
Survivor's premiere episode began with 18 castaways heading to the island on a raft, determined to win the title and the cash prize. Host Jeff Probst welcomed them, and after emotional introductions that gave viewers a glimpse of the castaways' stories, the season began on an exciting note.
The participants then took part in a Reward challenge to earn the required supplies to begin their journey. They had to pick up crates from the water, get them back to the island, and assemble the crates to make a cube. Following this, one had to climb up, remove the keys and throw them to the ground. Although Coco found an early lead, it was the Vesi tribe that won.
The other two Survivor tribes had to dig in or solve a puzzle to win prizes. Coco tribe members, Geo and Ryan, volunteered to dig and earned the supplies. On the other hand, Sami from the Baka tribe quickly solved the puzzle to win their share.
Back at camp, viewers witnessed the formation of different alliances. From the Vesi tribe, Noelle and Justine grouped together, and Cody got together with Nneka and Jesse. At the Baka tribe camp, a women's alliance was formed with members Elie, Morriah, and Jeanine. Lindsay, Karla, Cassidy. Subsequently, James formed an alliance at the Coco Tribe camp.
Each tribe had to choose one player for an adventure ahead of the immunity challenge on Survivor. They chose Karla for Coco, Gabler for Baka, and Dwight for Vesi. As the members arrived on a separate island, they had to play safe or risk their vote for an advantage. While Karla opted for safety, Dwight and Gabler chose to risk it. Gabler won the advantage, while Dwight lost his vote.
Coco and Vesi won immunity for the week, while Baka had to go through the Tribal Council. By the end of the episode, Morriah was voted 4-0 into eviction.
The competition is just getting started on Survivor. As more contestants get eliminated, others have to fight to secure their safety. Viewers will have to keep watching to find out who is voted out of the competition and what it means for fellow tribe members.
