We’re onboard the Rembrandt Von Rine heading south off the coast of Panama to a remote location in the Pacific waters of Central America. Down below, 16 Americans who have no idea the adventure of a lifetime has already begun. After traveling all night they arrived in Panama City early this morning, boarded this vessel, suitcases still in tow, still wearing the same clothes they had on on the plane. Right now, they’re relaxing, under the false assumption that we are several days away from starting the game. They think we’re heading out to take publicity photos. What they don’t know, this game has already started and it is full of surprises. For instance, those suitcases, so carefully packed with essential outdoor clothing – worthless. The only clothes they’re going to be taking are the clothes on their back, and more twists await. Their destination: the Pearl Islands, a land with a bloody history of looting and piracy. Brutal battles took place in these waters as pirates prayed on unsuspecting ships, plundering their gold, silver, and pearls. The jungles, which were the perfect hideout for these pirates, are rugged. The weather: temperamental. The waters here are home to some of the most magnificent but deadly marine life anywhere in the Pacific Ocean. Sharks, stingrays, eels, even whales thrive in a spectacular world beneath the sea. This will be their home for the next 39 days. They must learn to adapt or they’ll be voted out of the tribe. In the end, only one will remain to claim the million-dollar prize. 39 days, 16 people, 1 SURVIVOR!
