Ep.1 RC: Chief's Choice

The tribes arrive by boat and assemble on the beach. After Probst greets them, they must each select a leader (Brendan, Chris), who must then pick someone to run an obstacle course (Michael, Sebastian) and dig up three keys, then another person (Laurel, Desiree) who will use those keys to unlock and solve a 4x4 slide puzzle. Once the puzzle stage starts, Probst starts a sand timer, and the chief must then decide (before the sand runs out) whether to give up on the challenge, preserving their fishing gear, while giving the winning tribe a larger reward. As time runs out, Chris pulls the lever, giving Malolo the win. Malolo wins an extensive tool kit, fishing gear, eggs.
