Survivor US Season 43 Episode 01 Description
LIVIN
The 18 new castaways arrived in Fiji to begin Survivor 43.
Reward Challenge: Two tribe members raced into the jungle for crates. Two other tribe members then retrieved a boat full of crates from the ocean. The last two members would assemble the crates to make a cube, which one tribe member would climb to retrieve a flint hanging above them. The first to obtain the flint won it, as well as a pot and machete, for their tribe. The two losing tribes would have to complete either a “savvy” or “sweat” challenge at camp within a time limit to earn their supplies.
Vesi won reward. As Vesi set up their camp, Noelle bonded with Justine, while Cody, Jesse, and Nneka aligned and were wary of Justine’s perceived ability to manipulate. Vesi struggled with starting their fire. Coco chose “sweat” while Baka chose “savvy”, and both were able to complete their tasks in time. The women aligned on Coco and Baka, while Karla and Geo bonded due to both being LGBT+. Karla, Gabler, and Dwight went to the summit, where Karla protected her vote. Gabler’s risk paid off in the form of an idol good for his next two Tribal Councils (which he immediately let the entire tribe know about), while Dwight lost his vote. Cody and Jesse distrusted Dwight’s story upon his return to camp.
Immunity Challenge: Tribemates traversed an obstacle course, with one member opening the way at each obstacle. The first to get to the table game portion got their choice of one of three games, while the second got to pick between one of the remaining two. The first two tribes to complete their chosen table game won immunity, while the losing tribe had to forfeit their flint.
Coco and Vesi won the challenge. Gabler, who struggled in the challenge, publicly declared he would take his shot in the dark rather than playing his idol. However, Elie didn’t want to vote out Gabler due to his work ethic and tried to talk Jeanine into voting out Morriah, perceiving her as the physically weakest. Morriah brought Sami into her alliance, and they discussed blindsiding Owen. However, at Tribal Council, Morriah was voted out unanimously.

Survivor US Show Description
Survivor is the American version of the international Survivor reality competition television franchise, itself derived from the Swedish television series Expedition Robinson created by Charlie Parsons which premiered in 1997. The American series premiered on May 31, 2000, on CBS. It is hosted by television personality Jeff Probst, who is also an executive producer along with Mark Burnett and the original creator, Parsons. The television show places a group of strangers in an isolated location, where they must provide food, fire, and shelter for themselves. The contestants compete in challenges including testing the contestants’ physical ability like running and swimming or their mental abilities like puzzles and endurance challenges for rewards and immunity from elimination. The contestants are progressively eliminated from the game as they are voted out by their fellow contestants until only one remains and is given the title of “Sole Survivor” and is awarded the grand prize of US$1,000,000 ($2,000,000 in Winners at War).
The American version has been very successful. From the 2000–01 through the 2005–06 television seasons, its first eleven seasons (competitions) rated among the top ten most-watched shows. It is commonly considered the leader of American reality TV because it was the first highly-rated and profitable reality show on broadcast television in the U.S., and is considered one of the best shows of the 2000s (decade). The series has been nominated for several Emmy Awards, including winning for Outstanding Sound Mixing in 2001, Outstanding Special Class Program in 2002, and was subsequently nominated four times for Outstanding Reality-Competition Program when the category was introduced in 2003. Probst won the award for Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality-Competition Program four consecutive times after the award was introduced in 2008. In 2007, the series was included in Time magazine’s list of the 100 greatest TV shows of all time. In 2013, TV Guide ranked it at #39 on its list of the “60 Best Series of All Time”.
The series’ 40th season Survivor: Winners at War premiered on February 12, 2020, during the 20th anniversary of the show, and finished airing on May 13, 2020. Production for the 41st and 42nd seasons was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and instead began production in spring 2021, with season 41 premiering on September 22, 2021. Season 41 was once again filmed in the Mamanuca Islands, Fiji.
