Ah, as if it was really that simple.

Thats because the players will have to make some big decisions right off the bat.

First, each tribe will have to choose a leader.

And then things get a little confusing.

Then comes yet another big decision in the form of a twist.

And lets just say it ends up paying pretty big dramatic dividends.

So we built the whole opening around decisions.

And as you saw, you had to make some of them with a ticking clock.

And youre trying to figure out whats the best move.

This time it was an exhale accompanied by a smile.

It couldnt have gone any better, says Probst.

They chose two very different leaders, who both led in very different ways.

And at the end, somebody had to make a big decision.

And now theyre going back to their camps in two very different situations.

And the game is on.

Really, thats all you might hope for is just a little nudge into the game thats executed well.

Lets hope that nudge lasts for 39 days straight.
