When the 18 castaways arrived on the beaches in the middle of the Mediterranean, JB announced that the season's title was Guys vs. Girls. Everyone was excited, except for Sam, who felt she would fit in better with the guys. JB also announced that the tribes would compete in an immunity challenge and a subsequent tribal council immediately. This rattled the eighteen and sparked the tension from the get go. In a close race, it came down to the puzzle, and the girls prevailed, meaning the guys would have to vote someone out immediately. It was a toss-up between the two puzzle makers, Jack & Jacob. But, in the end, they voted to keep the younger Jacob in favor of Jack, and Jack was the first to leave the island. At the guys' camp, morale was low, but they began to build their shelter diligently. At the girls' camp, sides were already being taken. Sam suck out like a sore thumb, and Kara called her out on it. This created an argument among the two and a rift in the tribe. At the immunity challenge, the guys rebounded from their loss on Day 1, sending the girls to tribal council. Back at camp, Kara & Sam were on the chopping block, and in the end, the tribe decided to keep Kara and vote out Sam.

Episode 2: Claws Are Coming Out
Back at camp, Kara was grateful that she was safe, but she didn't show it. Her behavior was getting on the nerves of some of her tribemates, notably Bridgette and Morgan. The next day, Bridgette & Morgan discussed the possibility of voting her out next, and they were able to get Isabelle on board. At the guys' camp, an alliance of five was made between Bove, Finn, Kyle, Nik, and Pete. They named themselves the Five Guys, an ode to the burger restaurant. At the reward challenge, the guys claimed victory and fishing gear. Back at camp, Cha Cha and Joi made a final two deal, as they felt they had a lot in common with each other. They were approached by Bridgette & Morgan about sending Kara home next, and they were somewhat neutral on the move. At the immunity challenge, the guys won immunity, but Finn hurt his arm, and had to be looked at by medical. Back at camp, Bridgette, Isabelle, and Morgan set their sights on sending home Kara, and Cha Cha and Joi were the swing votes. In the end, they saw Kara as a good shield for them to hide behind in the game, and they swooped up Michelle & Victoria's votes to send home Bridgette.

JB also announced that there would be a double tribal council that evening and that two players would be voted out. This made Isabelle & Morgan even more nervous, as they spent the afternoon scrambling for the votes of the majority alliance. In the end, Isabelle prevailed and Morgan was voted out. At the guys camp, the mood was discouraging after the news of Finn's medical evacuation. Robin & Justin were lobbying to vote Jacob out, but the majority alliance was afraid of Robin being a threat further along in the game, so he was voted out, to the surprise of him and Justin.

After losing four straight challenges and an eight day drought, tensions were running high. Isabelle was beginning to worry as she knew she would be voted out if the tribe lost immunity. However, she led her tribe to a victory with her slingshot, stunning the men. Back at camp, the guys were stunned. Justin was worried that he would be the next to go, but he began to push for Jacob, the weakest link, to be voted out over him. In the end, Bove, Kyle, Nik, and Pete decided to keep Justin for his strength and drop Jacob from the tribe.

At the reward challenge, the guys steered back on track, winning blankets and pillows. Back at camp, the guys were stoked about the reward, but were worried about Justin going into a possible merge scenario. They considered throwing the challenge, but they decided not to, and they won the immunity challenge. Back at the girls' camp, Isabelle was on the chopping block, and she was looking for Michelle & Victoria to help her tie against Kara. However, Michelle & Victoria believed they had a final four deal with Cha Cha & Joi, so they did not side with Isabelle an they voted her out. Back at camp, Michelle & Victoria tried to confirm a final four deal with Cha Cha & Joi. Cha Cha & Joi confirmed but they were still considering keeping Kara in the game as a shield. At the reward challenge, the girls went on a spa reward. At the guys' camp, Bove, Kyle, Nik, and Pete again considered throwing the challenge to oust Justin before the merge. Pete talked to Justin about his stance with the tribe and Justin claimed he wasn't sure about his stance in the tribe. The guys tried to throw the challenge, but they failed as the ladies performed horribly at the challenge. The ladies' horrible performance sent them to tribal council.

At the guys' camp, they were expecting the girls to walk in with their being only nine players left, but they went to bed without female sleeping partners for the seventeenth straight night. On Day 18, the non-merge was explained. The reason the two tribes had not merged is because two more people were looking to join their tribe, and the two people were previously voted-out castaways. One guy and one girl were going to return to the game and join the merged tribe. In the end, Morgan & Robin won green buffs and the right to join the other nine players on the newly formed Oymac tribe. JB also announced that Morgan & Robin won immunity for tribal council to take place in 24 hours. At camp, Justin was excited to reunite with Robin, his former partner in crime. Kara talked with Kyle, who was looking for new allies as she felt betrayed by Cha Cha & Joi. Kara was looking for a Plan A, whilst Kyle was looking for a Plan B. They both agreed that their bottom totems, Justin & Michelle, as well as the outcasts, Michelle & Morgan were threats and they needed to be the first people ousted. Justin was their first target. Justin, Robin, and Morgan were looking to find cracks to exploit, and they looked towards the girls alliance to try and get their votes to vote out Kyle. Kara was nervous, and Cha Cha and Joi seemed eager to pull the trigger and strike first. Kara didn't want Kyle to leave and fought hard to persuade Cha Cha & Joi to keep him. In the end, her persuasion worked and Justin was voted out 7-4, becoming the first member of the jury.

Back at camp, Morgan & Pete were able to snatch Kara up for a third vote. At the arcade, Kyle & Nik were relishing that they were only a few days away from the final three.

The next day, the final three took part in their final immunity challenge. Pete won his second straight immunity and a spot in the final two. Back at camp, Morgan & Kara made pleas to Pete as to why they should take them.

But, in the end, he abided by his former deal with Morgan, and Kara became the last member of the jury. Back at camp, Morgan & Pete celebrated with a dinner feast.
