With a Panamanian military escort, three motorboats shot across the sea, each hold a tribe of past Survivor castaways. The eighteen people are divided into three tribes. Wearing yellow, the Saboga Tribe consists of Jenna Lewis (Borneo), Rudy Boesch (Borneo), Jerri Manthey (Australian Outback), Tina Wesson (Australian Outback), Ethan Zohn (Africa) and Rupert Boneham (Pearl Islands). Wearing green, the Mogo Mogo Tribe consists of Richard Hatch (Borneo), Colby Donaldson (Australian Outback), Lex van den Berghe (Africa), Kathy Vavrick-O'Brien (Marquesas), Shii Ann Huang (Thailand) and Jenna Morasca (Amazon). Wearing red, the Chapera Tribe consists of Susan Hawk (Borneo), Alicia Calaway (Australian Outback), Amber Brkich (Australian Outback), "Big" Tom Buchanan (Africa), "Boston" Rob Mariano (Marquesas) and Rob Cesternino (Amazon). The All-Stars are given nothing but their water canteens, and are not told the names of the other castaways or how many tribes there were. Armed with no information, no fire and no help, these eighteen All-Stars would be challenged once again to outwit, outplay and outlast all the others, to become the ultimate survivor.

Survivor Show Summary

The rules of this game are simple: average Americans are abandoned in the middle of some of the most unforgiving places on earth. Divided into teams, they particiapte in challenges and every three days, the losing tribe must trek to Tribal Council to vote out one of their own. Halfway through the game, the game shifts to individual competitions when the tribes merge and become one, making the game every man for himself.

The game is simple: Outwit, Outplay, Outlast, by winning Immunity, thus not being eligible to have votes cast against yourself. However, the players must be careful about who they send packing - after the merge, a jury of seven begins to form, and each week they return to watch the Tribal Council ceremony. At the end of the game, they vote for one of the members of the final two to win One Million Dollars. Who will become the next Survivor?

Generally, each season begins with a twist - something different to surprise the new castaways. Survivor is a game of adaptation, and the final two of each season, listed below, were the players most able to adapt to their surroundings and to the people they are playing with. Survivor focuses on the people, and the social commentary that surrounds them. How can these players Outwit, Outplay, and Outlast is the question that the game revolves around.
