The castaways started their challenge with a race to the shore. Jace, with his gym-fit body, was the first to step ashore.





The castaways were divided into two tribes: Naak (Thai for snake) and Jarakay (Thai for crocodile). The boys belong to the Jarakay, while the girls belong to the Naak tribe. Jace's tribe will be assigned to the bigger camp (Jace being the first to swim to the shore) while the Naak will be camping on a smaller site. For the next challenge, a Reward Challenge wherein the winning tribe will be given materials for shelter. And quite obviously, the boys won the challenge.
