SG Survivor - Season Three

Good evening, everyone! This is the first "episode" of SG Survivor (season three). For those of you who are not familiar with this, it is basically a cross between SG and the tv show Survivor. To get a better idea of what this is all about, I will direct you here.

On with the show!

********************************************************************

As the sun rises over The Seychelles, the camera catches a boat cruising through the water. After a few moments, the boat weighs anchor amongst a cluster of small islands.

One by one, the contestants climb out of their quarters and come out into the open.

Lotus: Hello, everyone. I'm sure that you must be a little surprised to see me here. I know that London has been in charge of things over the past two seasons, but she has been given a little time off and I have taken her place. As you can also see, Missy is not behind the camera this year either.

Sophie, the new camera operator, waves as she continues to shoot the action.

Lotus: There are two boats tied to the side of the ship - one marked "Praslin", and one marked "La Digue". When I call your name, go to the boat that I direct you to. For the record, these are also the names of two of the larger islands in the Seychelles.



Dylan is called, and becomes the first member of La Digue tribe. She has brought along an MP3 player (and a solar panel to recharge the batteries) as her luxury item.



Myra is called next, and she becomes the first member of Praslin tribe. For her luxury item, she has brought along a book of facts about the islands.



Clover is the second member of La Digue, and she has brought along a tracking device/GPS beacon.



Oryx is called next, and she becomes the second member of Praslin. To no-one's surprise, she has brought along a Pentax K1000 camera and some Kodak Tri-X film.



Lucy is the third member of La Digue. In a first for SG Survivor, she has brought along (after hiding it from customs) her bong and some marijuana.



Toby is called next, and she becomes the third member of Praslin. Toby has brought her cat Chesterella along with her to the Seychelles.



Disco becomes the fourth member of La Digue, and she has brought along a deck of cards to pass the time.



Mle is the fourth member of Praslin. As her luxury item, Mle has brought along some yarn and a crochet hook.



Gadget is the fifth member of La Digue, and she has brought her trusty hunting knife along with her.





Wallace and Loki are the fifth and sixth members of Praslin. Wallace has brought along a small notebook which she plans to use as a journal, and Loki has decided to bring one of her favourite books along with her.

Dylan (voice-over): I'm sure that I wasn't the only one here who noticed that there were only eleven of us called out; I was told that there were to be seven people to each tribe.

Lotus: To answer the unspoken question, there are a total of fourteen people participating in the game. The others will be along shortly; they were running a little late and should be here shortly.

With that, another boat pulls up and three people cross over. Lotus introduces them and assigns them to their teams.





Saya and Sid become the sixth and seventh members of La Digue. Saya has brought along her toothbrush, and Sid has brought along a guitar.



Drake becomes the seventh and final member of Praslin. She has brought along a sketchbook, and is hoping to draw various bits of the local scenery.

After a few moments, Lotus speaks again.

Lotus: Since there are many small islands in the Seychelles, each tribe will have its own island. Your boats contain a map with directions to your home, as well as two empty canteens and a limited supply of rice. I suggest that you get moving.

With that, each tribe lowers their boats and paddles off into the distance.

Cool!

Hmmm, nudity and beaches??? Let the games (and annoying grains in unseen places) begin!!

man, i swear, commercial breaks keep getting longer and longer.

I'd tune in for that!

Very cool!!!!!

My predictions:

will keep it tuned to this channel may have to raid the island

Sometime later, I'm gonna break out the MS Paint and make some colorful "Go Team!" posters for this. Wheee fun!

I always wanted to be a best boy grip.

I dont know what they are, but i cheer for them whenever i see them in the credits of a movie or TV show.

(Back from commercial)

The camera follows La Digue as they make their way to camp.

Sid (voice-over): After finding our little island, we started to take stock of our surroundings. And someone nominated herself as team leader.

Clover: Okay...who is doing what?

Saya: What needs to be done?

Clover: Other than everything? We need to make a fire, get water, find food, build a shelter...

Saya: I get the point, thank you very much. I'll start collecting firewood.

Clover: Thank you, Saya. I'm going to find the water source; does anyone want to come with me?

Gadget: I will.

With that, Clover and Gadget walk off into the underbrush. Saya and Disco start collecting wood, while Sid and Dylan start work on the shelter. Lucy clambers up the nearest coconut palm.

Saya (voice-over): I don't know who Clover thinks she is, but she had better watch herself. Leaders are always the first to go...

********************************************************************

Later that morning, the camera catches up with Praslin.

Drake (voice-over): After making our way to the island, we started to divide up the jobs. The fireworks, however, didn't start until a little later in the day.

Myra (voice-over): I really try to get along with everyone, but Toby is a tough nut to crack. We started to work on the shelter, but she shot down every suggestion I made - but she didn't bother to come up with any alternatives. It drove me mad, to say the least.

Myra (almost shouting): Well, if you don't like what I'm doing, why don't you try something different instead of being so damned negative?

Toby: I'm thinking - and I'm not being negative, either. Considering what we've been told about the weather here, I just don't think that it's going to work.

Myra: You can think all day, but we need something as soon as possible - and I don't have time for this.

With that, Myra begins to work on the shelter again. A few moments later, Toby walks away.

Toby (voice-over): I was perfectly willing to help Myra with the shelter - but we need a well considered plan. I'll be there to tell her "I told you so" when it falls apart.
