Déjà vu

Déjà vu is the season premiere of Survivor: All-Stars.

Day 1
The season begins with a shot of three separate boats; each holding six All Star contestants, all with a military entourage. The boats are all shown to be in different locations, taking the contestants on board straight to their respective camps.

Chapera
The Chapera tribe are dropped off in the shallow waters of their beach, all excitedly jumping into the knee deep water and heading towards dry land. Upon reaching the beach, the six hug one another, clearly ecstatic to have another opportunity to play the game.

Holly jokingly points to another island in the distance, laughing with the rest of her tribe, who all seem to be in high spirits despite the stakes going into this season seemingly being higher than usual. The six Chapera members walk as a group after collecting their one machete and tribe map, leading them to their water source. Holly and Adela look horrified at the grey-murky colour of the water, which they have been warned contains parasites that could cause serious harm pre-boiling.

The group get to work quickly, making the most of their time before sundown. The intense heat causes all six to go through their canteens of water, putting further pressure on Carlson to get a fire going. Ben appears to take control over building the shelter, but delegates decision making across the group so to not look like a leader on day one. Neasa tries to talk to fellow The Amazon alumni Isaiah whilst building the shelter, making sure that other tribe members aren't listening in.

Adela sits and tries to help Carlson with the fire, seeing that he's struggling to get it going without the use of flint. The two spend thirty-minutes working together, but quickly realise they're getting nowhere.

Those building the shelter manage to get almost the entire structure finished, whilst Ben and Neasa also fail to get a fire going. Nevertheless, the pair manage to talk about their fellow tribe members throughout their attempt. Neasa brings up Isaiah's personality already showing its ugly head, which Ben admits is a worry considering they haven't even started starving yet. As night falls over the Chapera camp, the group take rest inside their reasonably comfortable shelter. However, the dehydration that has begun to set in over the group prevents many of them sleeping in comfort, and leaves them worried as to what may happen if fire isn't obtained soon.

Mogo Mogo
The Mogo Mogo tribe all jump off their boat and head over to begin constructing their shelter. The clear strength of the tribe is shown as Abbas, Reniero and Sheamus waste no time clearing the forest around them. Additionally, the three women partake in the building, breaking any notion of them not contributing as much as the men.

The group make quick work of setting up their camp, looking like the most organised of the three tribes in terms of structure. However, like their rivals they also struggle with getting a fire going, opting to try again the following day rather than to exert too much energy. The three women go off to explore the island together, leaving the three men back at camp to polish off the almost complete shelter. As the minutes pass, the gender divide that has become apparent sparks concerns in several islanders minds.

The three boys put their hands together and agree to remain loyal to one another, noting that if the girls get power they can pick them off without issue. Meanwhile, the women stop by the water well to make a similar discussion.

The girls arrive back at camp to an awkward stand-off with the boys. The awkward silence is eventually broken by Sheamus who jokes that "it's nice to have everyone back together", causing several of his tribe members to laugh. The six begin to clear around the camp, giving Sheamus an opportunity to whisper to Delma and Mina, asking the pair if "anything interesting" was spoken about. Delma replies that "(they'll) talk", wanting to do so without so many others around.

Saboga
The Saboga tribe reach their beach in a similar fashion to their competitors. Teddy helps a stumbling Salma out of the water after she takes a tumble, much to her own amusement. Michael leads the group over to the machete and map and begins to take lead in getting a camp set up. Michael begins passing around instructions, with several tribe members looking on in confusion that he's so confidently telling them what to do. He requests that Danni and Daisy gather supplies, Salma find the water source and the boys do a bulk of the building, feeling it would be the smartest thing to do. The group get to work building, making some progress on the layout of the camp. Salma goes off alone and manages to find the water source, but quickly discovers that the water definitely won't be safe to drink without boiling. Salma returns back to camp, having brought some water back with her for show and tell.

As some time passes, William and Salma have no luck starting a fire, both looking exhausted due to the heat and lack of hydration. Those building the shelter are pleased to see progress has been made, even though some worry that Michael may be too ambitious with what he envisions the final design to be. As the daylight begins to fade, Michael opts to call an end to the building, with the group all sitting around taking turns to try and get a fire going. However, as the hours pass they realise they will have no luck at getting one for their first night. Salma and Danni sit together in the dark as the others gather supplies or settle in the shelter. They talk for some time, eventually analysing the rest of their tribe.

The Saboga members take their places inside the shelter with the exception of Teddy, who is sitting up alone looking at the moon, wanting to think through his thoughts quietly before heading to sleep.

Chapera
Ben and Neasa once again finding themselves trying to get the fire going, having struggled all morning without any water. Adela leads the others in making adjustments to the shelter, wanting to ensure it's at its comfiest capacity now they've spent a night on the island.

Neasa begins rubbing the sticks together, having moved the woods directly under the beaming sun. After several minutes, she begins to notice an abundance of smoke appearing, giving her the drive to carry on and ultimately get the husk burning. Ben helps her transport the burning husk into the firewood, which catches alight and gives the tribe fire. The other four come over to join in the celebration, immediately getting a pot of water over the fire to boil. Neasa is given a majority of the praise, with Isaiah also hesitantly congratulating her on the achievement. Once the water is ready, the group each refill their canteens and get their first drink in almost twenty-four hours. The group boast that they can't imagine their competitors will be doing as well as they are, feeling as though they've set themselves up well going forward towards their first immunity challenge. Several hours later in the day, the group separate in order to bring much needed supplies back to camp. Adela and Ben manage to separate themselves from the rest of the tribe, and begin carrying large pieces of bamboo back together. The two appear to be getting along well, and eventually get talking about the necessary strategic bonds within the game.

Mogo Mogo
The fallout from the previous days speculation over a gender divide dominates much of the tribes energy, particularly after the group was able to work efficiently enough to complete their shelter in one day. Reniero, Sheamus and Delma work together at trying to get a fire going, but struggle due to a lack of flint. Despite this, Delma opts to use the opportunity to bring up her concerns over Lotus' scheming the previous day.

Elsewhere, Lotus and Abbas go for a walk to discuss their thoughts, both wanting to further find security in members outside their 'gender alliances'.

As they walk back to camp, they agree that working together could be in their best interest, and note that if they were to lose they think the tribe dynamics would become extremely complex.

Saboga
The tribe continue to struggle making fire throughout the day, with the rising temperature forcing Salma to rest in the shelter due to exhaustion. Michael works on the shelter alone as the others walk around the island collecting supplies. William and Teddy collect some unripened bananas, and spend some time talking about their tribe.

Teddy is then shown having a one on one conversation with Daisy whilst they sit in the water, agreeing that as past winners they need to look out for one another. Daisy admits she is already somewhat irritated by Michael, which Teddy also agrees is a tribe consensus due to Michael's incessant need to be the leader. An hour later, Teddy is having a one on one conversation with fellow Borneo alumni Danni.

The pair hug to cement their bond, with Danni now also believing that she is Teddy's number one ally in the game, not realising that he has made similar bonds with several other tribe members.

Saboga
William reads tree-mail aloud to the group, informing them that they will be taking on their first immunity challenge as a tribe. The group prepare to leave, with nobody wanting to face the reality that if they lose they could be the first All-Star to leave the game.

Immunity Challenge
Chapera and Mogo Mogo arrive at the immunity challenge, excited to finally see who their competitors will be in the game. The twelve competitors are then surprised to be introduced to an unprecedented third tribe in Saboga. Several faces look pleased to see previous tribe members in the game, whilst others look disappointed to see familiar faces. The group is told that as there are three tribes, two will win immunity at a time, leaving as usual just one tribe to go to tribal council in order to vote somebody out of the game.

Immunity Challenge: Quest for Fire

On floating platforms, the tribes will have to dive down and release their raft from a mooring on the bottom of the ocean floor. They would then have to transport fire torches on their raft to the beach, lighting torches along the way. The first two tribes to light the torches, bring their rafts to the beach, and climb under a bamboo crawl would win immunity.

Information: For Mogo Mogo, Abbas, Lotus, Mina and Reniero perform well, whilst Sheamus and Delma perform averagely, as both take multiple attempts at one point to release the raft. For Chapera, Adela, Carlson, Holly, Isaiah and Neasa perform well, whilst Ben performs averagely. For Saboga, Daisy, Danni, Michael, Teddy and William perform well, whilst Salma performs averagely due to being the slowest member. However, it is noted that even those who perform 'averagely' did not do badly in the challenge, with all eighteen contestants doing average or well in the challenge.

Winners (according to finish): Chapera and Saboga.

Chapera
The tribe return to camp having finished in first place during the first immunity challenge of the season. The group seem in high spirits thanks to their victory, and also due to the new information that they are the only tribe who was able to start fire during the first few days.

Mogo Mogo
The six All-Stars return to camp having just lost the first immunity challenge, knowing that it will mean that one of them will become the first individual to be voted out of the game. All six have clear worry on their faces, not wanting to experience the embarrassment of going first on their second time playing the game of Survivor.

Sheamus manages to get Reniero, Abbas and Delma on their own at one point, whilst Lotus and Mina are washing their shirts off in the water. He suggests voting for Lotus, which is agreed on forcefully by Delma. Abbas remains silent during the conversation, but doesn't raise any concerns in order to keep the target off his own back.

The foursome part ways, with Delma and Sheamus confident that voting out Lotus is the best thing for their tribe, whilst Abbas remains concerned, having perceived Lotus to be one of the tribe members that he had a strong connection with. Abbas and Lotus get together on the beach to have a conversation about what went down, knowing that there isn't long left to warn her of the target on her back.

Lotus is shown campaigning around the tribe, speaking with Reniero and Mina individually, telling both that Delma under-performed and that her relationship with Sheamus makes her a threat moving forward, particularly with two other The Amazon alumni in the game. Both seem receptive to what she's saying, but are concerned given Lotus' clearer threat status. Delma notices Lotus campaigning heavily to others without coming to her, clocking on that she is likely going to receive votes herself. She voices this concern to Sheamus, but he tells her not to worry, and that they have a majority of votes locked in. At tribal council, the six Mogo Mogo members climb up to the tree-house setting as the rain begins to pour overhead. After lighting their torches, the group seem somewhat in better spirits as they attempt to collect rain water in hats, cupped hands and scrunched buffs. Jeff begins by welcoming them back, asking them how it feels to return to the game a second time. Reniero admits it's more difficult the second time as the competition is higher, and there is more to lose for those who fail to reach the end. Abbas is asked how being a past winner influences his game play. He claims that he is still "being himself", and that he hopes his actions the second time around will determine how far he gets, rather than "what happened in Africa". Sheamus speaks highly about the tribe, believing the tribe to be one of the strongest, and boasts that their loss will be a "one off". Lotus and Delma both speak about their nerves going into the vote, expecting to receive some votes. Lotus opts to name Delma as being somebody who has played multiple sides, whilst Delma accuses her of doing the same thing. The gathered consensus is that it is a vote between Delma and Lotus, with the other four confirming they feel relatively safe. The final question concerns how they will apply previous mistakes to their second time playing, which Mina says will be the difference between who goes home and who makes it far, suggesting that only those who learned from their first time will be able to claim the title of Sole Surviving All-Star.

Lotus looks visibly upset as she takes her torch over to Jeff, holding back tears as she leaves the tribal council area in the rain. Delma nods and shows gratitude to those around her, wondering which tribe member opted to vote alongside Lotus. Jeff tells the five remaining Mogo Mogo members that they will not be taking their torches back to camp with them until they've managed to make fire themselves, further deteriorating their morale.
