Mom!

Dad!

Carol!

Carol!

In your opinion, what is your most valuable asset?

Well, I think we're never prepared

for a challenge of this nature to be really honest.

Man is the absolute example of adaptation,

the ultimate legacy of science.

The planet is a living organism.

If we care for it, it can give you so much in return.

Man is an expert in changing his environment

but then make it to his benefit.

To me, having a full understanding

that there is no situation that we can't adapt to.

This is gonna give me the right kind of mindset to succeed.

The only thing that I'm really good at

is taking care of people.

I'm gonna be all alone on an island

and the only person that I have

to take care of is myself.

What we perceive about ourselves

and the truth about ourselves

are two completely different things.

Every single thing that happens

to us in life is nothing more

than what we project onto the world.

We simply create it with the power of the mind.

A true survivor has to be a person

who understands the environment

and changes it with technology and tools.

The main reason people drop out of the show

is they don't realize how difficult

it is to be alone with themselves.

The air you breathe, the food you eat,

the medicines you need, the water you drink,

it literally gives you life.

What's the absolute definition of God, if not love?

I hate to brag, but I'm gonna win this thing.

I am.

I am, come on!

You all have been previously briefed about all the rules.

Even though there's not that many,

stay safe,

stay warm,

don't get injured,

and try to feed yourself.

As you all know, you are being left on this island

with almost nothing except your skills

and your survival instincts.

Welcome to Solum Island.

My name is Emilia and I'm your host.

First of all, let me personally applaud

each one of you just for being here.

I know that gaining admission is far from being easy.

That being said, the last one of you to give up

this competition will be the absolute winner.

If you want to or decide

to give up and drop out of this competition,

there are two ways you can do it.

One,

by using this radio.

The second way is to use the extraction point.

Enough of this chitchat.

Now you'll be taken to different parts

of this amazing island.

As soon as you get there, the game is on.

Now, go and made the best win.

This seems easier than it actually is.

I don't know how people can start a fire with this,

and this is freaking moisture, man.

Everything is wet all over the place.

Believe me guys, this is way harder than it looks on TV.

Hey folks.

So, the main problem with finding shelter

on a high location of the island is the wind,

but for me it was a priority to find

an area that would be natural protection against it.

So, I followed the rock formations and I found,

this.

Ah!

Look at this five star hotel.

No wind.

Like I said folks, it's all in the brains,

and I think we're gonna camp right over here.

Put some branches against the wall.

I got one right here, actually.

It's a heavy one.

Okay.

Put some branches...

I think I'm gonna need my both hands to do this.

Huh?

Peace.

Woo!

It's funny how overwhelming this place is,

and how it makes me feel at home at the same time.

Now that I'm here,

I feel that maybe throughout my whole life,

I've been preparing myself for this.

This is exactly where I should be.

Yep.

I was right.

The ax was by far my best choice of an item.

And what a productive day.

Four trees down, so I guess I'm ready to start

my first project on this show.

I really hope it pays off.

Woo hoo!

Okay , here we are.

Day one, actually, night one.

This has to be one of the first challenges that we all face,

being alone in the dark with ourselves.

Yeah.

I haven't eaten yet.

I spent my whole day trying to build

this kind of shit that I'm in right now.

And thank God I chose this plastic cloth as my item.

You know that knowing stuff is not the same

as being good with stuff.

Yeah.

Well, tomorrow I better try and find some food

if I wanna stay in this game.

And for now, I'm gonna try to get some sleep,

although the noises on this island

at night are something else.

Yeah.

Okay.

May all sentient beings everywhere, experience this.

Namaste.

All right.

Good morning.

You know what?

This is just incredible.

I mean, I just slept in this wonderful beach under

the stars and wow, I feel so lucky

and what you're about to see is nothing more

than a man at one with nature.

And while you watch this,

I want you to take just a very brief moment and be grateful.

Be grateful for things that we take for granted sometimes.

Be grateful for the food you eat every day,

for your family, for your friends

who are family in a way aren't they?

I want you to be grateful for,

I don't know, the sound of these waves.

I mean, it's just such a beautiful sound

and I promise you that if you focus

on this feeling of gratefulness,

you will be absolutely overwhelmed with joy.

That's a promise I make.

Here we go.

Woo hoo!

Well, hello there.

Oh, wow.

Man.

What a night.

So, the place where I was saying before,

it was extremely humid.

There was no way I could make a fire

and I trained how to do it, I know how to do it.

So I had to look for someplace else and ta da!

I made fire.

So, I found this awesome rock wall, let me show you,

where I used it as my crashing place for tonight.

Pretty cool.

And on my way here, I found some snails.

So, my pan I chose to bring is already paying off

because ladies and gentlemen,

yours truly has made some snail stew!

What?

Yeah, I know.

It sounds pretty gross.

Not gonna talk about that now but...

So...

I was prepared for fevers.

I was prepared for food poisoning.

I might've been the only one actually prepared

for such things but...

On the second day of this competition, I broke my leg.

I'm not stupid and I know I can't carry

on with something like this knowing that my leg

could only get worse without the proper treatment.

So,

I can't continue with this.

I'm...

I'm gonna have to tap out, guys.

Doctor's orders.

I'm really sorry.

A fishing net for dummies.

Hey.

I thought we were meant to spread apart?

Hey dude, how's it goin'?

Hey, what are you doing?

Hey!

Hey, what are you...

Hey, hey!

Shit!

So, one of the main problems we face over here

is to keep ourselves dry.

Now, knowing that the main source of food in the island
