Survivor

are about to begin an adventure that will forever change their

lives.

You look at me, you think this is some new yorker.

He's a military guy.

But I'm currently in law school.

And definitely don't want anybody to know I'm going to be

a lawyer because the wrong first impression could make or break

my entire game.

I'm a super, megaultrafan of the show.

You don't know when this is going to happen, when this is

going to flip, and this is going to happen, and that's my life.

Jeff: They'll compete alongside four returning

players: David, aubry, went worth, and Joe.

Their vast "survivor" experience could make them a desired ally

or an easy early vote.

I think that I'm going to have a target on my back, but

I'm going to try my hardest to never shine brighter than

everybody else.

Jeff: And there's a secret, game-changing twist.

After being voted out, players will be faced with a decision:

Go home or go to the edge of extinction, where they'll be

pushed further than ever before for a chance to get back in the

game.

In the end, only one will remain to claim the million-dollar

prize.

39 days, 18 people, one survivor.

Welcome to the 38th season of "survivor."

Here's a sobering thought... in

less than 72 hours, the first person will be voted out.

That's how fast this game moves.

And every season it gets a little more complicated, a

little more difficult to win.

No matter how good you are, you are always hovering on the edge

of being voted out.

Just think of the history of great "survivor" players who

have yet to win.

In fact, let's just invite four of them to join you this season.

Bring them in!

Woooo!

Oh, my god, that kelley went worth?

My two favorites players are kelley went worth and my total

"survivor" crush is Joe.

And so we see this boat coming and then you see the blond.

And I'm like that's freaking kelley went worth.

And it gets closer and I'm like, "is that Joe, too?"

Oh, my god.

David.

Aubry.

I hate that you brought people I like.

Jeff: Come on up.

This is who you're going to be playing with: Wentworth, davi

David.

High, guys.

Man bun!

Jeff: Joe.

And aubry.

Oh, my god.

Welcome back.

Jeff: All right, let's review the track record of these

four returning players.

Kelley went worth... first woman to find two hidden immunity

idols, and when she found herself in a deep hole, she used

one of them for a record-setting blindside.

David writing... scared of pretty much everything...

you don't need to relive all that.

Jeff: On day one, but he didn't give up on himself.

And he turned into a dominant strategic force.

Joe has played most of his "survivor" days with a massive

target on his back.

Despite that target, Joe's tribes have won 16 challenges.

And aubry, literally cried in the shelter.

The first time she played, but

she overcame her insecurities and lasted 76 out of the

possible 78 days she played.

Four very different styles of play, four very good players.

None of them won.

Because "survivor" is unpredictable.

And that's why it's so great.

And that's why you are here.

You chose this adventure.

And when "survivor" pushes you further than you ever imagined,

that is your opportunity to stand up, adapt, and conquer.

And that is the theme we're going to be exploring this

season.

This is "survivor: Edge of extinction."

Kelley, David, you're on the

manu tribe wearing blue.

Say hello to your tribe mates.

Join jur yur tribe and pass out your buffs.

I'm Lauren.

Nice to meet you.

Jeff: Joe and aubry, you are on the kama tribe.

Say hello to your tribe mates.

All right, let's kick it up to the next level.

Oooh.

Jeff: This boat is loaded with supplies.

Some offer long-term help.

Some are perishable.

You have two minutes to get anything off of this boat into

your boat.

Your "survivor" adventure begins now.

Go!

This is it, all that energy finally coming out.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Hey, need some help!

Need some help!

Jeff: There goes reem, our first person is over.

Watch out!

Jeff: Now everybody going over!

Go, go, go.

Jeff: They're everywhere right now, all over the place,

very little communication, everybody just grabbing whatever

they can and try to get overboard.

Now the job becomes try to get what you got overboard into your

boat.

Keith working hard to get to that boat.

Dig in, Keith!

I'm not the best swimmer out here, and I've never been in

open water.

Naturally me, who can't swim, will cost me to be the first one

gone, in this game, if you're on the outs, you're out.

Jeff: David and went worth getting in the water.

The last two.

Right now, kama seems to have the early advantage with what

they have in their boat.

Got it.

Yeah!

Wooo!

Jeff: All right, start paddling out!

Yeah!

Jeff: You've got what you got.

"Survivor: Edge of extinction" is on!

>> We've got to go right.

Great work!

>> Great.

Oh, my god.

Straight up there.

Oh, my gosh!

We got some great stuff.

Well, let's go look at our camp.

Chris, man.

Rick, dude.

Good to meet you.

As everyone's introducing themselves, I'm so overwhelmed

by the fact that I'm in this game.

I'm still so excited because I'm a huge fan of the show.

I've watched it since the very first episode.

I'm a morning news anchor.

Are you really?

Yeah.

And get this... in the 115th we're 130.

So pretty good.

No one thinks news anchors are tough.

I've got dad bod out here but I have a lot of belief in myself.

I want to break through the wall... oh, yeah!

Appreciate it.

Oh, my god!

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Just extremely clumsy.

You'll see this several times.

So much food.

It's crazy.

What is he doing?

I don't trust anyone.

Playing a third time, I know I may have a target on my back

initially, so getting an initial alliance in the beginning is

very important.

How are you?

I'm good, how are you!

How are you doing?

Good.

I played from the bottom in "second chance."

That's not a good feeling.

So this time I want to have genuine relationships which can

be hard for me because I'm a closed off person.

I played soccer in college.

I played soccer in Holly, not college, but it's amazing.

I have to be more open.

I have to get to know these people on a human level.

So who knows what they're doing?

We were gog ask David, because, ideally, we want to

have two trees, kind of.

We're waiting on your expertise here.

Oh, really?

The first time I played "survivor," I was afraid to,

like, voice an opinion.

Chopping the wood, like the sound of that, like, rattled me.

I had to plug my ears with my fingers.

And it's, like, I was worried that my tribe mates were going to

have that perception of me.

This time, people are coming to me, these newbies with like,

what do you think?

"What should we do?" And I'm like, I'm trying to give

them ideas.

Which way were you thinking, going in this direction?

Seems like, yeah, right.

I want people to feel I can help them navigate, especially the

very early part of this game so that they know I'm a friend.

You can trust me, keep me around.
