16 Canadians from different walks of life enter the game, hoping to be the sole survivor. Immediately, after arriving on the Taro tribe camp, Aaron Herrera offers to be the tribe leader as he feels like he has the most experience out of anybody on the tribe. Nobody objects."taro"

- Back in the real world, I'm a camp counselor. My job requires me to be a leader. Honestly, it just makes the most sense for me to be the leader here too. Aaron immediately starts to bark orders with regards to the shelter. Savanna brings back some food, causing much excitement. "taro"

- Despite my survival experience, Aaron wanted to be the tribe leader. I was hesitant at first but, then I thought, why not? Why should I be greedy about a silly title? I had enough faith in Aaron that he could pull it off. However, he hasn't been the nicest leader since he's been elected. Either way, this gives me enough time to help my tribe in other ways. Although, my survival skills may still fail me if I'm not too careful.

On the Cassava tribe, everybody is suggesting ideas for the shelter as they go along. Reece gives nice advice to Ronald and David about using tools. "cassava"

- After we've elected Reece as our tribe leader, he's been nothing but kind and helpful to everybody. I can't help but respect him a lot.

At night, Emilia talks about her husband, Daniel. The rest of the Cassava tribe talk about how this will be a long 39 days. Back on the Taro tribe, David and Leo are getting increasingly annoyed at how Julia hasn't helped at all. Leo mentions how he's had to work his entire life and Julia comes across as if she's never had to lift a finger. Reece takes note of the situation and talks to her about helping the tribe once in awhile.

Day 2
In the morning, on the Taro tribe, Nichole tells Lauren about how she thinks Aaron is being too overbearing and should take it down a notch. Lauren agrees but also says that talking behind his back won't solve any problems. Nichole agrees and asks Aaron if she could talk to him alone for a second. She explains that he is being a bit too overbearing as a leader and would appreciate it if he took it down a notch. Aaron agrees to do so.

♦CASSAVA wins REWARD♦

After winning fire supplies and fishing equipment in the reward, Julia tells Summer to let the guys take care of everything."cassava"

- This is the perfect opportunity for me to catch up on missed vacation time. I'm here on a beautiful beach, so why should I have to lift a finger?

As Julia goes to leave for the water, Pareesa tells Michella that Julia never helps and it's really getting under her skin. She leaves to go get food for everybody. Later, close to sunset, Julia takes a bit more fish than prompted, causing Pareesa to tell her that she should have the same amount as everybody else. Julia tells her that she is hungry, causing Pareesa to confront her about her laziness.

Day 3
"cassava"

- Last night, I told Julia off without regret but, this morning, I don't think too many people are pleased that I argued with her. What? Were we supposed to let her get away with doing nothing? I beg to differ.

♠TARO wins IMMUNITY!♠

Reece tells everybody to vote with their heart.
