We are making our way up river along the Rio Negro in Northern Brazil where the temperature is a scorching 103º and these 16 Americans are set to begin the adventure of a lifetime. They're about to be abandoned in the middle of the world's largest and most magnificent tropical rainforest in the world: The Amazon. Spanning two a half million miles, the Amazon is responsible for over 15% of the world's oxygen and is the world's largest freshwater source. For much of the season, the Amazon is a flooded forest, a land covered by up to 60 feet of water. But as the dry season emerges, the river subsides revealing the dangers that lurk beneath: camen crocodilles, schools of piranha, and the world's most feared snake: the anaconda. Soon, terenchal thunderstorms will arrive, rocking the jungle and submerging the forest once again. This will be their home for the next 39 days. It is the ultimate challenge, 16 strangers all from different walks of life, left to fend for themselves utilizing the resources of the land and their own survival skills. Forced to work together to create a new society while battling the elements and each other, they must learn to adapt or they'll be voted from the tribe. In the end only one will remain to claim the million dollar prize. 39 days, 16 people, 1 SURVIVOR!
