The 12 everyday Australians and 12 champions begin their 50 day quest to become the sole survivor by out-thinking and outlasting their opponents.

A group of castaways head to Far North Queensland, where they face off with their loved ones to see who has what it takes to become the Sole Survivor.

As the contestants begin to form alliances, they are faced with a rewards challenge that sees one team gain some fishing equipment.

The contestants take part in a challenge filled with temptations, and one hungry survivor is lured into a trap.

The contestants take part in the first challenge, which involves heights and blindfolds, and the second challenge, which requires all their strength. However, one survivor appears to be throwing the game.

The contenders go all out in the challenges in a desperate attempt to prove they have what it takes to win. Tensions rise at Tribal Council as one player is taken by surprise and sent packing.
