Survivor

GO!

BIG BATTLE.

THIS IS LIKE THE OLD DAYS.

20 WINNERS.

EVERYBODY WANTS IT.

IT'S NOT GOING TO BE EASY.

YOU ARE WITNESSING 16 AMERICANS BEGIN AN ADVENTURE THAT WILL

FOREVER CHANGE THEIR LIVES.

FOR THE NEXT 39 DAYS, THEY'LL BE MAROONED, LEFT TO FEND FOR

THEMSELVES.

THEY MUST LEARN TO ADAPT OR THEY'RE VOTED OFF.

IN THE END, ONLY ONE WILL REMAIN AND WILL LEAVE THE ISLAND WITH

$1 MILLION IN CASH AS THEIR REWARD.

I HAVE A BIG REPUTATION IN "SURVIVOR," BUT SEEING MY

COMPETITORS, I'M LIKE, OH, MAN.

FANS IN SUPER BOWL WAIT ALL YEAR TO SEE THE GAME AT THE END.

FANS OF "SURVIVOR" HAVE BEEN WAITING 20 YEARS TO SEE "WINNERS

AT WAR."

I HAVEN'T HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE MY DIE POLL CAL SELF AT

ALL IN THE PAST COUPLE YEARS.

I HAVE BEEN BUSY BIDDING A FAMILY, BUT I'M LIKE A PHOENIX

RISING FROM THE ASHES READY TO BURN DOWN YOUR HOUSE.

I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH HODGKIN'S LYMPHOMA.

I REMEMBER DREAMING AND PRAYING THAT I'D BE ALIVE LONG ENOUGH TO

PLAY "SURVIVOR" AGAIN.

AND SO IT IS A MIRACLE THAT I'M SITTING HERE TODAY.

I WAS A KID THE FIRST TIME I PLAYED THE GAME.

LITTLE DID I KNOW I WAS GOING THE FALL IN LOVE, MEET MY

HUSBAND, GET ENGAGED AT THE FINALE, WIN THE SHOW.

BUT NOW TO BE ASKED BACK FOR SEASON 40 ALL WINNERS?

I WANT TO WIN THE GAME.

TO COME OUT HERE AND WIN TWO TIMES AND BEAT MY HUSBAND AGAIN,

THAT WOULD BE AWESOME.

Jeff: IT'S THE BIGGEST BATTLE IN "SURVIVOR" HISTORY.

EVERYBODY IS GOING TO BE LAYING IT ALL ON THE LINE.

Jeff: WHO WILL HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO OUTWIT, OUTPLAY, AND.

OUTLAST ALL THE REST?

IT'S GOING TO BE A BLOODBATH.

IT'S GOING TO BE A WAR.

Jeff: AND BE CROWNED THE GREATEST PLAYER OF ALL TIME?

LET THE FIREWORKS BEGIN.

Jeff: 39 DAYS, 20 PEOPLE, ONE SURVIVOR.

Jeff: 39 DAYS, 20 PEOPLE, ONE SURVIVOR.

HERE WE GO, BOYS.

THERE HE IS.

THERE HE IS.

WOW.

WOW.

WE'RE BACK.

Jeff: WE HAVE THE MEN.

HERE COME THE WOMEN.

OH, MY GOD.

HERE THEY COME.

HERE THEY COME.

THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING.

OH, MAN.

YOU GOOD?

Jeff: YOUR FIRST LOOK AT WHO YOU ARE PLAYING AGAINST AS.

THEY GET THEIR FIRST LOOK AT WHO THEY ARE PLAYING AGAINST.

WELCOME.

Jeff: WOW.

>> WELCOME, LADIES.

HOW YOU DOING?

YOU GUYS HIT THE OCEAN YET?

THE QUEEN.

I'M SHOCKED TO SEE ROB AND AMBER.

I SPENT 36 DAYS WITH BOSTON ROBB ON ISLAND OF THE IDOL, AND

BOSTON ROB NEVER TOLD ME THAT HE WAS POLITICIAN AGAIN.

GOT YOU WIFE HERE, HUH?

SO I DEFINITELY FEEL BETRAYED.

GOOD JOB.

Jeff: ALL RIGHT.

WOW.

LET ME TAKE THIS IN.

20 WINNERS, 20 YEARS IN THE MAKING.

THIS IS AWESOME.

WENDELL, YOU APPLIED MANY TIMES TO GET ON THIS SHOW, AND THEN

YOU FULFILLED THE DREAM OF EVERY PLAYER.

YOU ACTUALLY WON.

WHAT'S THE FEELING?

IT'S GOT TO BE THE GREATEST FEELING IN YOUR LIFE.

I'M AMONGST THE GREATS RIGHT NOW.

I SEE SOME LEGENDS.

A LOT OF LEGENDS.

19 LEGENDS OUT HERE.

IT FEELS GOOD, MAN.

IT'S THE BEST FEELING.

Jeff: YUL, YOU PLAYED 14 YEARS AGO.

YEP.

Jeff: THE iPhone DIDN'T EVEN EXIST.

DO YOU SEE THIS GAME TODAY

THROUGH A DIFFERENT PRISM AS A MORE MATURE HUMAN?

YEAH.

I FEEL LIKE A DINOSAUR THAT'S BEEN TIME BOMBED INTO THE

FUTURE.

THE WORLD HAS CHANGED.

THE PEOPLE HAVE CHANGED.

"SURVIVOR" HAS CHANGED.

I THINK I'M GOING TO HAVE TO CHANGE.

Jeff: AMBER.

JEFF.

Jeff: YOU FIRST PLAYED 20 YEARS AGO.

LITTLE PERSPECTIVE.

NOT ONLY HAD THE iPhone NOT BEENEN VETTED, iTunes DIDN'T.

EXIST, TWITTER, FACEBOOK.

YOU WERE THIS YOUNG WOMAN WHO CAME ON THE SHOW.

YOU END UP MEETING ROB.

YOU GET ENGAGED ON THE SHOW, AND NOW YOU'VE CREATED A FAMILY WITH

FOUR BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU THIS TIME AS A VERY DIFFERENT WOMAN

THAN YOU WERE THE FIRST TIME?

IT'S HONESTLY KIND OF LIKE A NICE VACATION.

I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT WHAT'S FOR DINNER.

I'M NOT COOKING IT.

I'M NOT GOING GROCERY SHOPPING.

THIS IS AWESOME, BUT TO BE HONEST, TO BE A PART OF SEASON

40, IT'S GOING TO BE THE BIGGEST, MOST EPIC SEASON YET.

HOW COULD YOU PASS UP THIS OPPORTUNITY?

Jeff: ALL RIGHT.

BEFORE WE GET TO IT, LET'S HAVE A LITTLE TOAST TO CELEBRATE.

WOW.

Jeff: COME ON NOW.

WHOA.

YEAH.

>> ARE WE PLAYING "SURVIVOR"?

Jeff: THIS IS A ONCE-IN-A-TV-SERIES MOMENT.

WE GOT TO CELEBRATE IT.

>> DO IT UP.

>> MY COMPETITION HERE IS THE

GREATEST OF THE GREAT, AND IT'S A GOOD FEELING, BECAUSE WE'RE

ALL HERE TO BE PART OF SOMETHING SPECIAL.

THANK YOU, SIR.

BUT EVERYONE WILL BE GUNS A-BLAZEIN', EVERYONE WILL BE

SWORDS A-SWINGING.

THERE WILL BE LIMBS AND HEADS FLYING EVERYWHERE.

Jeff: I JUST WANT TO SAY, WE ARE PROUD TO HAVE YOU HERE AS.

REPRESENTATIVES OF OUR 40th YOU HAVE EARNED IT, BUT THIS IS.

STILL "SURVIVOR."

AND EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE ALL WON, THERE WILL BE TOUGH TIMES.

YOU WILL BE CHALLENGED.

YOU WILL BE VULNERABLE.

WHEN THOSE MOMENTS HAPPEN, JUST REMEMBER, YOU BELONG.

TO "SURVIVOR," BECAUSE A DRINK BEFORE WAR IS ALWAYS A GOOD

IDEA.

>> CHEERS, GIRLS.

CHEERS.

GET RID OF THAT.

Jeff: ALL RIGHT.

"SURVIVOR" 40, "WINNERS AT WAR."

YOU ARE DIVIDED INTO MEN AND WOMEN, AND THIS IS NOT HOW WE

ARE GOING TO PLAY.

OH, WOW.

Jeff: LET'S REVEAL OUR TRIBES.

FIND YOUR NAME AND TAKE IT.

THANKS, SIR.

EVEN THOUGH I'M THE MOST RECENT FEMALE WINNER OUT HERE,

IT'S PRETTY NERVE-RACKING, BECAUSE I HAVE NINE OF THE MOST

INTIMIDATING WOMEN RIGHT NEXT TO ME.

I MEAN, "WINNERS AT WAR"?

IT JUST SOUNDS NASTY.

Jeff: EVERYBODY OPEN YOUR BUFF.

LET'S SEE WHAT'S UP.

OH, MY GOD.

BLUE, BLUE.

BLUE.

Jeff: TAKE YOUR SPOTS.

BLUE IS OVER HERE.

BLUE IS OVER HERE, JEREMY.

ROB, BLUE IS OVER HERE.

AMBER, RED IS THIS WAY.

SORRY, ROB.

"WINNERS AT WAR."

Jeff: ALL RIGHT.

WEARING RED, WE'VE GOT TONY, WENDELL, AMBER, KIM, SOPHIE,

NICK, SARAH, YUL, SANDRA, AND TYSON.

WEARING BLUE, SELE, WE'VE GOT NATALIE, ROB, ETHAN, PARVATI,

BEN, MICHELE, DANNI, DENISE, JEREMY, AND ADAM.

TONY, THIRD TIME OUT HERE.

THIRD TIME.

Jeff: WHAT'S THE FEELING& WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS GROUP?

BECAUSE YOU WILL, FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE, NEED THESE PEOPLE TO

TRY THE STAY IN THE GAME.

I LOVE THE PEOPLE I'M WITH.

I'VE PLAYED WITH SARAH IN SEASON 28.

SANDRA VOTED ME OFF THE SECOND TIME AND I LOST THE GAME.

SO I LOVE HER FOR THAT.

RED MEANS WE'RE RED HOT.

WE'RE ON FIRE.

LET'S SEE.

Jeff: ALL RIGHT.

HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS SEASON.

WE'RE INTRODUCING A NEW "SURVIVOR" CURRENCY IN THE FORM

TOKENS HAVE VALUE.

YOU WILL EACH TART THE GAME WITH ONE FIRE TOKEN.

IF YOU ARE VOTED OUT, YOU MUST WILL OR BEQUEATH YOUR TOKEN TO

ANOTHER PLAYER AS YOU HEAD TO THAT ISLAND RIGHT BEHIND YOU,

THE ISOLATED AND UNFORGIVING EDGE OF EXTINCTION.

OH, BOY.

Jeff: WHERE YOU WILL AWAIT YOUR CHANCE TO GET BACK IN THIS.

GAME.
