Episode 1
	(TITLE)
	Cornilio Roquez stands in an empty auditorium and says that there are two spots left in the game. One woman and one man.
	The Women: walk onto the stage first. Brynn May-Michaels from Season 4 Hollie Kasravi from Season 11 Londina Castarelli from Season 8 Nicole Linio from Season 1 Sashie Coulton from Season 13 Brynn CCs that it has been 9 years since her season. She is now 43 and she is still happily married to her amazing husband. If she gets back into the game, she plans to be the best social player in the season. Hollie CCs that, four years ago, she competed and met the love of her life, Roddy. The two got happily married and they now have one child, who is 10 months old. She would love the opportunity to play again. Londina CCs that, in her season, she played way too hard and became the first member of the jury. It's been six years and she feels as though she could play the game a lot better. Nicole CCs that she was one of the OGs. She was a part of the game before all of the insane eliminations. She definitely was immature in Season 1 and gleefully annoyed everybody. She knows that she can do better now. Sashie CCs that, the last time she played, she played socially and got all the way to the Final 3, only to be cut. This time, she wants to try playing a different game and play harder. Brynn says that she is in awe to be next to Hollie and Sashie. She says that she was rooting for them to win. Hollie says that it doesn't help that they both got 3rd place. Hollie CCs that Brynn, Londina and Nicole are all early outs while her and Sashie almost won. Londina says that it would be a lot more fair for Hollie and Sashie to give up their spot. She CCs that Hollie made it to the Final Tribal Council and did horrible. So, what would she do differently? Both Hollie and Sashie say that they are not willing to do that. Cornilio Roquez comes out and reveals that the results of the fan vote. The fans have voted for ... Sashie. Cornilio then says that somebody in the cast pulled out two days ago so another woman will be chosen. The woman who got 2nd place in the fan vote is ... Brynn.
	The Men: Barrett Krehl from Season 8 Brendan Gallegos from Season 11 Garrett Louras from Season 3 Kyle Romblon from Season 15 Michael Navarra from Season 3 Michael CCs that his name is Michael William Anton Navarra. He was born October 13th, 1957. He competed on Season 3 and he is the husband of Season 8's Meryl and is the father of "Survivor Joe" Navarra. Years and years ago, he made the merge and got 8th place. This time, he is hoping to win the whole thing. Garrett CCs that he is Garrett Louras from Season 3. He was Cinto's number 1 ally and the two of them were in a disastrous alliance that had complete control in the pre merge. He hopes to have a better run and not have to rely on complete wildcards. Barrett CCs that his name is Barrett Krehl and he is from Season 8. He played way too hard, was far too arrogant and he went home in the pre merge. It has been six years since Season 8. He is now married to his beautiful wife and they have a daughter together. Cornilio Roquez comes out and reveals that the results of the fan vote. The fans have voted for ... Michael.
	It now shows two boats with both Tribes. On Cantelle, Brynn CCs thar she was shocked she got a chance to compete so, now, she will do whatever it takes to get to the end and not waste this chance. John CCs that his name is John Finn and is was the over eccentric superfan from Season 9. He overplayed without really playing and became the scapegoat for one of the biggest moves in the game. He plans to calm down and actually play this time. Pat CCs that he is Pat Markley from Seaspon and his run ended early as he was not a good ally. He's learned, he's watched the game evolve and he plans to actually not make dumb mistakes. Eutalia CCs that she is one half of Cappucci Chaos and got 8th place. Janeane Coffey CCs that her time on Season 9 was a lot of fun and her elimination was the catalyst for the second half of the game. She plans to be lore involved. On Samson, Shontelle CCs that her name is Shontelle Varelas and people may remember her as the woman with a vengeance in Season 15. Now she is back and she plans to backstab anybody and everybody to get to the end Quentin CCs that he was the biggest wildcard of Season 10. Since then, he and his wife [Melanie] have had another [Landon b.2009] child [Seras b.2012]. He cant believe it has been four years since Season 10 already. Hayes CCs that, last year, he was part of an insane blindside---his. He hopes to read the room better snd stop any attempts to send him packing. Riga CCs that she infamously turned on her closest ally and then paid for it. She, obviously, plans to not do that. Arliso CCs that he got 5th place in Season 1. Alicia CCs that she competed on Season 12 and was a part of Jada's cult. She made a lot of really bad moves that cost her the game. Some of these moves were pretty immoral so she wants to prove that she has changed for the better. Once everybody is on the island, Cornilio Roquez announces that the first twist begins ... now. There is a secret Cabin. Every round, one person from each tribe must go and stay there for the night. It may sound luxurious, especially as you have Immunity, but there is a twist. The tribe who doesn't find the Key first has every member who went to the Cabin be the only ones nominated in a special Tribal Council. A couple of rules apply: you can't go twice and the Key will be hidden after the third Tribal Council. Eutalia CCs that she would love to find the Key. Everybody on her tribe would adore her. Alicia CCs that she doesn't know if she wants to risk the Cabin. If she goes and then the other tribe finds the Key, she will be screwed. Brad CCs that he would prefer to go every round if he could. A nice bed and Immunity sounds amazing.
	On Cantalle, Brynn CCs that she really likes everybody on her tribe. They are getting the second chance they all yearned for and it feels amazing. As they build the shelter, John CCs that he remembers when he did this the first time. He learned a lot from his first experience, especially when it came to surviving in nature. After the shelter is built, they all lie in it. Lily CCs that it feels so good to accomplish something like building a shelter. Teio CCs that they all took a moment to relax and it was so nice. Harry says that, in his season, their shelter was not as nice as this. Lily says the same.
	On Samson, Summer CCs that the shelter was built without any problems, which surprised her. In Season 6, she had to navigate an insane amount of drama and strategy. Alicia calls the tribe together and says that she'd like to get something off her chest. Alicia CCs that, on her season, she was delusional, mean-spirited and she hated seeing that side of her. She had no excuse. On her original season, she was part of a delusional alliance full of bullies, including herself. She wants them to know that she has changed and she is not like how she was on Season 12. Martilla CCs that she will still be unsure about Alicia for awhile. She really has to prove herself.
	On Cantalle, Brad is with Janeane, Lily and Teio. He says that he sees this four as a good and trustworthy four. Brad CCs that he is confident in his abilities to negotiate. He plans to try and get safety by any means necessary. Brad is with Brynn. He says that the two of them are early outs with a lot to prove and he thinks that it would be in their best interests to work together. Brynn agrees. Brad then says the same thing to Pat, who also agrees. Brad CCs that he will say whatever to whoever and he only hopes that things will fall into place. Arliso is with Harry, Brynn and Michael in the shelter. He says that a lot has happened since Season 1 for sure. He CCs that the game evolved like crazy. A part of him is both excited and nervous. Brynn says that she was on Season 4 when the seasons started picking up on the strategy like crazy. Michael says that she says that but Season 3 had an insane amount of strategy for an early season. Brynn agrees. She says that she is excited to see Harry, Arliso and Michael back as she rooted for all three of them in their original seasons. Harry CCs that he didn't think he'd get a second chance like this. Harry says that the four of them should ally together since they are all from early seasons. They agree.
	On Samson, David is talking with Riga and says that the both of them have a lot to prove, especially with how they both went out. David tells Shontelle that they both played hard and it didnt end well for either of them. He thinks that, since they have that in common, it could be good for them to ally up and help each other to make sure that doesnt happen again. David CCs that his strategy in the early game is to relate to people and bring them in that way. Riga talks with Hayes about, potentially, targeting Arliso first. She says that he didn't do much with building the shelter and he is letting others do the majority of work. Hayes agrees. Riga CCs that, at the beginning, you need to do your part and Arliso hasn't done much. Hayes talks to Quentin about how Riga is already naming targets. Quentin is sketched out and says that playing hard right off the bat isnt good. Hayes CCs that he agrees with Riga but we all know what she tried to do to her closest ally.
	On Cantalle, Eutalia CCs that she's decided that Cappucci Chaos needs to strike again. Eutalia chucks the flint into the forest while nobody is looking. Later, Janeane says that she can't find the flint. Her, Michael and John try to find it. John finds it at the foot of the forest. John CCs that the flint was left here deliberately. Detective John Finn is on the case. John asks Janeane if she dropped the flint by the forest. Janeane says that she didn't and tells John that she would've known where it was of she did. Janeane CCs that she really didn't appreciate John accusing her of that.
	On Samson, Martilla, Riga, Sashie  Alicia and Summer are all in the shelter. Riga says that, for her, it has been six years and it was a pretty crazy season. Riga CCs that she is known for trying to betray her closest ally. She needs to make connections and slowly build trust so game strategy talks are out of the question. Riga says that she is, now, 52 and she is still a computer hardware developer. Her oldest just graduated high school and she is so proud. She CCs that she never thought she would get a second chance. Slow and steady wins the race. Alicia says that she has a lot to prove since Season 12. Summer tells Alicia that what bothered her a lot was Joey cheating on Kaylyn with Alicia's sister and still not voting him out. She admits to having reservations. Summer CCs that, yes, Alicia has a lot to prove. She doesnt trust her at all. Alicia understands and hopes to show everybody the new and improved her. Alicia CCs that she should've voted Joey out that night. Since the season, her and her sister haven't been as close. This season, she will never make a mistake like that again and she is so, so sorry.
	On Cantalle, everybody is around the campfire. Pat says that Survivor was really new still back in Season 2 and he was a part of the worst tribe in the show's history [Troupial]. He says that strategy was new and he played way too hard way too fast. He still remembers being so confused when he was voted out and then watching it back realizing, in his own words, that he was an idiot. This gets some laughs. Pat CCs that he isn't the same Pat Markley from nine years ago. He knows not to betray any allies this time. Harry says that, meanwhile, he was on the other side and got voted out for not wanting to send Nancy home, which sketched everybody out. Michael says that he was a part of a crazy alliance in a crazy merge. Brad agrees that Season 3's merge was insane. Michael CCs that all of them bonding over their previous seasons is really nice.
	At the Challenge Arena, Lily and Arliso are sent to the Cabin. SAMSON wins Reward (fishing gear) and Immunity!
	At the Cabin, Lily CCs that she offered to head to the Cabin first. She wanted to make sure that, after all these years, she wasn't the first person out. Her tribe didn't win Immunity so she was at risk. Arliso CCs that he didn't get a choice in the matter but he is fine with it. Arliso says that they both have Immunity and can relax. Lily says that
