18 contestants from the past 3 seasons of Survivor; Blood vs Water, Cagayan, and San Juan Del Sur arrived on the shore of the islands of the Tonga, divided into three tribes named after local beaches;
Kolovai, who will always wear red consisting of Josh, Katie, Natalie, Tony, Trish and Vytas.
Monotapu, who will always wear green consisting of Brad, Ciera, Jeremy, Missy, Sarah and Spencer.
And Otuhaka, who will always wear yellow consisting of Hayden, Jaclyn, Kass, Keith, LJ and Tasha.
Each tribe was asked to elect a representative who would be required to make an important decision. Kolovai elected Josh, Monotapu elected Brad, and Otuhaka elected LJ. Jeff Probst then threw the All-Stars off guard and announced that each tribe representative would be responsible for choosing one member of their tribe to receive a clue to the location of the hidden Immunity Idol. Josh chose Trish. Brad chose Jeremy. LJ chose Jaclyn. Jeff then let the tribes go and find their camps, officially beginning the All-Stars season.
Upon arriving to camp, starting a fire and building a shelter seemed to be the least of the All-Stars worries, with each tribe having hustled and bustled in trying to form alliances and searching for idols.
At Kolovai, Tony and Trish quickly realized they were the easiest targets but that with Trish's idol clue they could gain some leverage. Trish began to look for the idol herself while Tony approached Natalie, the only other winner in the game about the formation of a winners Final 2 alliance. Natalie accepted Tony's offer but announced in a confessional that she was weary about teaming up with Tony due to his history as a player and his relationship with Trish. Josh quickly began to regret his decision of giving Trish the idol clue as it would likely land in Tony's hands as well. Vytas also questioned Josh's decision and contemplated whether Josh may be secretly aligned with Tony and Trish.
At Monotapu, Jeremy thanked Brad for the idol clue and promised to share the idol with him in the event he finds it. Brad agreed to work with Jeremy but was cautious about the amount of time he spent with Jeremy so the others wouldn't become suspicious of an alliance. However, Brad's fears came into fruition as Sarah and Spencer warned Missy and Ciera about the legitimacy of a Brad/Jeremy alliance. Missy, feeling bad about voting Jeremy out in their season, warned Jeremy of Sarah and Spencer's proclamation and that Ciera would likely become the swing vote as she (Missy) had no desire to work with anyone from the Cagayan cast.
At Otuhaka, Keith laughed at his "All-Star" title and questioned his decision to play Survivor again as he did not know anybody on his tribe with the exception of Jaclyn. However, Keith's jokes did not ease Otuhaka camp life due to the tension between Tasha and Kass, who had not spoken since the Cagayan finale. Kass publicly confronted Tasha about her silent treatment of Kass with Tasha announcing that she had no reason nor inclination to speak to Kass. LJ attempted to break the girls up, but Kass continued to make silent jabs toward Tasha as 'untrustworthy' in order to win over some sympathy from her tribe mates. Jaclyn announced in a confessional that her tribe was obnoxious but it would at least keep the target off her back.
Back at Kolovai, Tony joined ally Trish in search for the idol but neither could understand the complex clue and realized that they were basically running in circles. However, at Monotapu, Jeremy had found the idol, silently celebrating before showing Brad in secrecy. Brad was also ecstatic and claimed that they could either use it to both remain safe at their first Tribal Council or as a way to gain allies.
IMMUNITY CHALLENGE
Kolovai and Otuhaka won immunity, sending Monotapu to Tribal Council.
At Monotapu, Jeremy filled Brad in about what Missy had told him about Spencer and Sarah warning her of a Jeremy/Brad alliance. They agreed that Ciera was the swing vote.
Spencer and Sarah contemplated whether it would be smarter to vote out Jeremy or Brad. Fearing that either of them may have found an Idol, and that Missy had sold them out to Jeremy and Brad, they considered taking a chance in voting Missy out as they did not think that neither Brad nor Jeremy would play the idol on Missy.
"It's All-Stars, go big or go home", Spencer proclaimed. Ciera had agreed to vote with Spencer and Sarah as she trusted them more than she trusted Brad.
However, Brad's previous relationship with Ciera did not stop him from trying to flip her vote. Brad promised Ciera a comfortable position in an alliance of him, Jeremy, and Missy. Ciera, knowing the vote would be 3-3 and they would be in a situation where they could possibly draw rocks, warned Brad about Missy "talking smack" about him and that she did not fully trust Missy, in order for Brad to consider flipping at the revote, which Brad was oblivious about the possibility of. Tribal Council neared, and Jeremy considered using his Idol, but was reassured by Brad that Ciera was on their side.
TRIBAL COUNCIL
At Tribal Council, Sarah spoke of their lack of proper shelter nor fire due to all the scrambling that had ensued, but that she was not surprised. Brad jumped at Sarah's response claiming that she was the one who had ensued scrambling due to her warning other tribe-mates about the possibility of an alliance between him and Jeremy. Sarah did not deny the accusation but simply stated that she was playing Survivor. The tribe was eager to vote, so they did.
Brad, Jeremy, and Missy had voted for Sarah.
Ciera, Sarah, and Spencer had voted for Missy.
After Jeff read the final vote, chaos ensued. Brad and Jeremy were shocked that Ciera had not voted with them. Spencer proclaimed that he was not budging and that he would be willing to draw rocks. Jeff was stunned at the post-vote reactions. Missy reminded Brad and Jeremy that if they voted her out, they would be at the bottom. Jeff announced it was time to re-vote. Jeremy turned to Brad and mouthed "Missy".
Jeff re-read the votes, and a stunned Missy was voted out in a 4-0 vote.
Missy left Tribal Council and Jeff had announced that he has never been more shocked at a first Tribal Council in the history of Survivor. The tribe grabbed their torches and headed back to camp.
Yaxha yeah in hindsight I wish I had a more diverse cast as well. But I originally did a BrantSteele simulation with this cast before thinking of writing out a fan-fiction for it and I didn't want to redesign the cast.
