Day [1] The Marooning

[Sandy]

We're outside the Akshardham, a Hindu temple located in the heart of Delhi where displays of traditional Hindu and Indian culture spanning a millennia are open to the general public. It is a meeting place for Scholars which also gained notoriety for the 2010 Commonwealth Games.

It is a modern work of art located in the beautiful Indian Empire.

And it is here where seventeen new iSurv1vors are about to begin the adventure of a lifetime.


"I'm different because I may not be smarter or more physical than other people but I am more strategic and have more common sense than people give me credit for."

" I certainly know how a game works structurally, but my ability to play/negotiate relationships is something that I haven't really done in quite a while. It'll be a sink or swim situation. "

"I'm a character both on paper and in real life. I'm that bully who likes to laugh and pretends to be a hero, but really you can't deny the horns and the tail. I put it all out there and say what I ant and I doubt anyone will have anything too bad to say about! "

---

In just moments they will board a truck and begin the 28 hour journey to the Hagwan Mahaveer Sanctuary And Mollem National Park where they will begin the game for real.




"My constant dilemma’s between playing with my heart and playing with my head is one of the things I’ve noticed to really hit home for me, because I feel like it’s so recurring with me that I’m gonna have to learn from it."

"I have some crude humor, that only some can appreciate, I don't bite my tongue when bitches need to be told that they are being bitches, I try my best to be a good/loyal friend, so I'm like a mix of everything."

"You could kill somebody, but if you can give me a good, solid reason why you did it, I’d probably side with you. I’ve made friends with people who dabble in witchcraft and satanism because they could explain it. Basically, if you can justify your actions, I’m with you. I’ve learned to question everything."

They think they know Survivor...

They think they know the rules...

But they're in for a shock!

Not only will they have to survive the elements and each other, they must also contend with four former players who have been flown out for their second shot.

2 Sole iSurv1vors with 78 days experience, 10 jury votes to win and 2 seasons between them.

"I never went into a round unprepared and unaware. I had people who kept tabs on situations for me, and I knew how to use my relationships with people to keep me safe. I knew when I needed immunity, and I knew when I didn't. After everything, even being called out as a huge threat, I never once accrued a single vote."

"I have shown that I'm honest in what I do and fess up.  There has to be a reason as to why my name was NEVER written down at any of my trips to tribal council. I just want to say that I am by no means a "floater". A floater is someone who makes it far and does NOTHING. I do believe i have done something, I've been able to keep myself out of a vulnerable position for quite some time."

And 2 players with some Unfinished Business.. 

"I wasn't really expecting this but I had a small inkling. Honestly there's no hard feelings I was just trying to shake this game and change the Jury's impression of me, but it didn't work out. I guess it did shake the game up."

"Karma is a bitch! It looks like I just had a dose of my own medicine!"

And with twenty-one players competing, it's going to be one incredible journey!

In the end, only one will remain to claim the title of Sole iSurv1vor and become our nineteenth champion.

It's a beautiful sunrise to the start of your 39 day journey to become the Sole iSurv1vor, but seventeen castaways isn't nearly enough for a full season. 

Hinduism believes in samsara, or reincarnation. That the actions in a past life will reward or punish you in the next. We will explore that ideology as you are not alone in this game...



On board this helicopter are four iSurv1vor players, some are champions of the series whilst some have unfinished business. They are fully fledged players and can be a useful tool in this game or a very easy first boot.

The returning players are...

Ryan Quanz

iSurv1vor: Congo - The Fire Burns On

Preferring to go by his surname, Quanz would be an unlikely candidate to be the first returning player from iSurv1vor Congo. The plucky Canadian was very well liked within his tribe in the early stages of the game and routinely stayed on the right side of the vote until the tribe switch where he quickly fell out of the loop.

His starting tribe were players made of those from outside the United States and his timezone made him valuable to compete against the Americans, but no matter how confident he felt there was always a worry that he wasn't in the core alliance and began to take steps to change the game and position himself better in the game. At the final seven, Quanz flipped on the majority numbers to vote out Adrian but it wasn't enough and was voted out as the third member of the Jury. At the Final Tribal Council, Quanz sent a message to the Mbochi tribe by voting Sam but it was only until the game finished that he regretted his actions.

Quanz returns for the chance to redeem his poor decisions and represent the Congo.

Jordan Kelley

iSurv1vor: Bali - Rookies vs Veterans

Our second returnee from Bali, Jordan honed his craft on the Rookies tribe where he was in good standing however his partner Tim was less than admired. Surviving the pre-merge on an Immunity streak and avoiding Redemption Island was the easy part of the game for Jordan, but when the tribes merged the Kecak tribe began to fracture despite the planned "Rookies 7" alliance being in full swing.

At the third merged Tribal Council, Jordan blindsided Tim by voting against him and not Brandon and further cementing his willingness to stay with the core Rookies. But on Day 22, Jordan's trip to New York City came at a coincidentally inconvenient timing as the final eight were divided into two groups based on their challenge performance and Jordan was left with a 2 Veteran, 2 Rookie situation. Not wanting to get blood on her hands, Heeral intentionally voted against Jordan by casting her ballot for the opposing Veteran that Jordan voted for, effectively sending him to the Jury.

Jordan has since stated that he has "unfinished business," and returns to redeem himself and show how much of a force he is in iSurv1vor.

Joe Purcell

iSurv1vor: Bali - Rookies vs Veterans

Joe is up in the top five greatest iSurv1vor challenge winners. A dominant force pre-merge saw him emerge as the leader of the Kecak tribe and the first group in the series history to win every Immunity Challenge to the merge and avoid Redemption Island. Helpful and considerate to those around him, Joe's loyalty to his assigned partner Bill and close friend Kieran saw the three-some control the majority of the votes - and made no excuses to their alliance when Kieran protected him with Individual Immunity, and Joe later returned the favor by giving Kieran and hidden immunity idol.

With his position never in danger, Joe stayed true to his allegiances while also keeping a close watch on his competition. His final two pact with Kieran was the turning point for Joe when Bill reneged and forced a tie with Kieran which led to his ultimate elimination. Securing the final Immunity necklace, Joe, still honoring the deal, took Bill to the Final Tribal Council. Joe proved to the jury that he maintained a strong grasp on the game and encompassed a physical, strategic and socal balance, and when the votes were cast, Joe became the seventeenth Sole iSurv1vor in a 6-1 decision and had 0 votes against him.

Joe is back to represent the past Winners and compete against superior players.

Jermaine Kendricks

iSurv1vor: Canada - Lake of Emerald

For those who have been around iSurv1vor long enough are fully aware that Canada is somewhat of a black mark on the series, an inactive cast, a really bad jury and plagued with issues from day one. But with that aside, only two have managed to salvage a solid reputation with their second and third appearances. And now the champion of the Lake of Emerald is hoping to redeem himself.

After few years after his win, Jermaine came to the spotlight again during the events of Fans vs. Favorites in 2009 when he was relaying information to cast members Zack and Alyssa. It was because of fellow winner Erik that the jig was truly up. The series began a lock-down on giving information to the alumni and four years later Sandy keeps his word on that and has only recently permitted Prediction Writers. Whether or not his intentions are to apologize for his actions or not is yet to be seen. But he is a Sole iSurv1vor, and he has done something right to covet his title.

Jermaine returns for a second shot at the title, and to show all his haters and critics that his Canada win was rightfully deserved.
