Episode 1 - Welcome to the Outback (Part 1)This season, 16 strangers will be cast away in the Australian Outback. The Outback refers to remote arid areas of Australia and covers most of Australia. The Outback covers several climate zones and experiences a wide range of temperatures.
Temperatures in the central deserts can sore as high as 50°C (120F) on summer days, and drop below freezing to -10°C (15F) during winter nights. When it rains it pours, and all Outback areas can experience floods. The Australian Outback may be desolate but there is still wildlife existing in these extreme dry, hot conditions.
This is where our 16 castaways will battle it out and Outwit, Outplay & Outlast to be the Sole Survivor!This season, the castaways will be divided into 2 tribes, Kucha and Ogakor, the Aboriginal words for "kangaroo" and "crocodile", respectively. The Kucha tribe consists of Alicia Calaway, Debb Eaton, Elisabeth Filarski, Jeff Varner, Kimmi Kappenberg, Michael Skupin, Nick Brown and Rodger Bingham.[Camera zooms to the Kucha Camp][Kucha tribe, with blue bluffs were seen walking around camp, trying to build a shelter][Camera zooms to Debb Eaton, personal interview starts]Debb:"I’m outgoing, always ready to have a good time, hard working, a flaming liberal democrat, fairly impatient, and annoyingly competitive. I work a lot and enjoy my job. In my spare time, I enjoy experimenting with cooking (which is really all it can be called), reading, spending time with my friends, and cold beer. I’m physically fit and active."
"My first goal is to bond with my tribe on a friendship basis, figure out who I can trust, and eliminate the weaklings and those who appear standoffish. If all that fails, I’ll lie, cheat and steal like no other."
[Camera zooms to Nick Brown, personal interview starts]Nick:"I'm a college grad. Hobbies include golf, poker, and just being with my crew. I'd consider myself a personable dude and someone that can keep the masses entertained effortlessly."
"I would probably describe my gameplay as chameleonlike. I think I can adapt to whatever the circumstance may be."
[Camera zooms out. Rodger Bingham was seen chatting with Kimmi Kappenberg while gathering dry sticks][Camera zooms to Rodger Bingham, personal interview starts]Rodger:"I love watching reality shows as in i'm an addict. I love sports and plays badminton, ping pong, volleyball and any sport. I love the net also. I spend hours on it. Lastly movies. hehehe i go to church every week and spend most of my time there!
"
"I think I'll play the way i usually do. Whatever role it needs to get me to the end. Sometimes i stir things up. I'll play schemer. Under the radar. Cause I lways come up short. In games. I always get to top5 or 6 and never win. I mean i get close to the end only."
[Camera zooms to Kimmi Kappenberg, personal interview starts]Kimmi:"I am a girl, and I am loving that, LOL! It's so fun, because of all the girl things we can do. I am 19 years old, the school is over for me, so I have a lot of free time now. I like to get out with friends, talk about daily stuff, and a lot of other things. I am usually very nice, If I am in good mood. If I am not, then you should run aways from me, as fast as possible."
"I don't like to be a challenge powerhouse. I prefer 100 times more to be a strategy powerhouse. Well, not over the top, or the leader of the alliance, but the Puppet Master. I fit perfectly with this. It's so funny, but it's even funnier when you make people to do things, and they do not see you are doing it. Then, when you vote them out, they are so mad and that's where it becomes hard .. "
"I like to not reveal my strategy to anyone, but myself. Once I get out, I tell what I did. Until then, people may have thought I am not doing anything, but they are wrong."
[Camera zooms to Alicia Calaway, personal interview starts]Alicia:"I'm very fun and have a great personality. I think that will work pretty well in the game, I have done good in every game I have been in so far."
"I can win challenges, but I have to decide if I need to win them or not, so sometimes I might try to be under the raidar. I will scheme if I feel like I have to in order to get further in the game."
[Camera turns to Jeff Varner joking around with Elisabeth and Michael, personal interview starts]Jeff:"People say I'm very funny, and I love having a big ego!"
"I suck at challenges unless theyre posting, but lately my moue doesnt click so I'm just gonna suck! I am a schemer more so, but I do fly under the radar. I'm not sure which one I want to do yet."
[Camera zooms to Michael Skupin, personal interview starts]Michael:"I like to run cross country, winter, & spring track and pole vault and triple jump as well. I'm not really a nerd, but I'm smart, I'm not going to lie."
[Camera zooms to Elisabeth Filarksi, personal interview starts]Elisabeth:"I'm going to socialize with as many people as I can on the Kucha tribe. So far, I think everyone on my tribe is great. We all get along from what I can tell and the dynamic is going to be so strong throughout. I'm hoping we can pull through with six straight victories, and not have any twists in between."
"I enjoy my tribe quite a lot. I'm very close with Jeff and Michael as of now, so I'm trying to get something worked out with them as far as an alliance goes."
