Volcanic Glass's Transcript:
Sue Hawk: Ahoy mates! Survivor kicks off its seventh season right here in the Pearl Islands. Where pirates once plumaged [sic] this place, now reality contestants do.
(Shot of Immunity Idol)
Sue Hawk: And what a bunch of scallywags! For starters, we have Darrah, the spunky mortician, Rupert, the human grizzly bear, Lillian, the resident Scout Master and of course, there is the usual crop of hotties! Wow!
(Shawn in water)
Sue Hawk: Survivor 7 started right here on this boat and it was like nothing you've ever seen before. The contestants were flown in from the mainland over there, got on this boat, took a 4 hour dinner cruise dressed to the nines and then, unexpectedly, the game began.
Jeff Probst: "You're going into this game with the clothes you have on your back."
Sue Hawk: "But If you thought this was a kinder, gentler Survivor of the past few seasons, think again! This one's going to kill them."
Michelle: <i>grunt</i>
Burton: "I can only see a little bit right here."
Shawn: "I don't want to expend that kind of energy..."
Sandra: "Yeah."
Shawn: ... throwing a spear at one fish, that just sucks."
( flag)
Sue Hawk: We just finished a 40 minute walk through the mud and we're on our way to the first challenge of Survivor: Pearl Islands. The survivors have to drag a 300 lb cannon through the jungle, through the mud, over obstacles in hopes of winning a reward and immunity.
(up to last long shot)
Sue Hawk: Remember last season when Heidi and Jenna went butt-naked every other day? Well, for this challenge, it's the boys' turn to drop their drawers. It's "Survivor Guys Gone Wild".
(up to last shot of challenge)
Sue Hawk: Looks like CBS is getting ready to deliver another amazing season. I know I'll be watching like a hawk!
