Original subtitles

We are flying over the beautiful islands of Micronesia.

Crystal clear water, magnificent coral reefs, and one of the most stunning

collections of underwater sea life in the world.

Just below me are 10 Americans who are about to begin the adventure of a

lifetime.

They share only one thing in common. They are all fans of Survivor.

These fans have finally been given the chance to be a contestant in their

favorite game.

But they're completely unaware that they'll be playing against some of their

favorite survivors from seasons past.

You can be a fan of the Boston Red Sox, man, but you don't want to play against

the Boston Red Sox. You're going to get your ass handed to you. I played a

perfect game last time. I consider myself the greatest player in the

the game.

Coming back, I'm playing really aggressively and pretty much no holds

me. The only reason to come back is for the million dollars. That's the only

reason I'm going to put up with a lot of suffering and bugs and mellow people.

People at home watching identify with me. I'm like the person at home watching

on the couch, remember?

I was the couch potato.

I could almost be on the fan side because I'm a fan of all these people.

me to see like y 'all and Ozzy over here, it was like crazy.

Everybody wants to beat me now, and hopefully I can tap into that same kind

energy and will that I had last time. It is the ultimate game with a new twist.

Ten of Survivor's biggest fans taking on ten of their favorite players.

For the next 39 days, they'll be forced to work together, creating a new society

while battling the elements and each other. They must learn to adapt, or

be voted out of the game.

In the end, only one will remain to claim the million -dollar prize.

39 days, 20 people, one survival.

Come on in, guys.

I have always been a huge fan of Survivor. When we first pulled in on the

it was a torrential downpour.

One of my life dreams has been to come out and just try and survive in the

So this is really incredible for me.

So welcome to Micronesia.

I'm a fan. So coming to Survivor and starting up a game on the beat.

Jeff, you know, seeing him there, it was surreal.

Guys want to know who you're playing against?

Yeah. Yeah.

Seeing how big a fan of Survivor you are, it is only fitting that you are

to compete against some of your favorite Survivors from seasons past.

Come on out.

Seri from Exile Island.

You know it, do you? No.

This is cool for us to eat just like this, right?

Come on out.

Ozzie from Survivor Cook Island.

A little less hair, but the same Ozzie. He's so high up there right now.

I know a lot about Ozzie simply in terms of competition.

He gets home to almost all the challenges, but I myself am a track and

country runner. I think I have what it takes to compete at that level.

Come on out.

Amy from Survivor Vanuatu.

Chrissy. Hi, girlfriend.

Hi, baby.

Come on out.

Jonathan Penner.

Thank you.

You want a mutiny.

Step off your mat and join the other tribe.

Man. Oh, my God.

Come on out.

Up next, Eliza from Survivor Vanuatu.

You've been trying to plot against me since day one. For the last three

days, you're driving everybody freaking nuts.

Chill out.

Come on out.

From Survivor China, James.

When I saw James come around the corner, I got excited because he is, up until

this season, the biggest and strongest that has ever played the game. I think I

can take him.

Let's bring out the next member of your tribe.

Come on out.

Harvity from Survivor Cook Islands.

Thank you, John.

I've got two naked guys in the hood.

Let's see who else is on this tribe. Come on out.

Yow Man.

From Survivor, Fiji.

I'm going to jump out of the time off my chin here.

The biggest round of applause so far, Yow Man.

These are people I've watched on TV, and so there's that certain awe about them,

especially Yow Man.

I saw him come out with that little Yao Man hat and those little glasses.

I love the Yao Man.

The next member of the favorites team, Amanda from Survivor China.

I have a really good idea.

Get rid of James tonight, and he doesn't expect it right now.

So we have ten fans.

We have nine favorites. We are one short.

Let's bring out the last member of the Survivor favorites team.

The most infamous of all survivors.

Johnny Fairplay, who already looked intoxicated.

My grandmother's not here for a reason.

She's on the run.

Love the hat, love the hat.

So, Fairplay, are you dressing like me?

You want to know what you're playing for?

I'm actually impressed. I like to know that you have aspirations to get out of

your current place in life.

Wow.

Good to see you, Jeff. Always a pleasure.

I wanted to throw up when I saw Johnny Fairplay. He's a pig. He's a loser pig.

I would just love one moment to kick him. One moment just to kick him hard

shin.

All right.

Fans, your tribe name is I -Ride.

Yeah. Take a buff and put it on.

Favorites, your tribe name is Molokal. Take a buff and put it on.

I think the fans versus favorites set up is the ultimate challenge because we

have the favorites who obviously played this game before, so they're coming in

here with experience, but at the same time you have us, and we know their

We know not only their strengths but their weaknesses too, and so I think

puts us at a huge advantage.

Just across the water on the other beach, there are two boats, one for each

tribe.

Inside the boat is a map to your new home. One other thing, also across the

beach, there are two individual immunity idols, one for each tribe.

The first person to find the idol from each tribe gets the idol. These are

special idols. You can only play it the first time you go to tribal council.

You can go anytime you want.

I worked my ass off to get across that stretch of water. I beat Ozzy. And

good. That's what I wanted to do. I needed to show him what I'm made of.

I'm thinking, you know what? Take your time, Johnny Fairplay.

What if Teddy wins the race? I get there.

It has to be in plain sight.

It's on the boat. I grab it. Well, I grab the one from the other boat.

Oh, mother... Yao Ming tackles my head into the side of the boat. Sorry.

All these idols seem to like me, and I hope that there will be other idols

the way this season, and they will all like me.

Yeah, I don't get what's going on. Hey, D. Hey, come back.

Thanks to Yao Ming, I have immunity for the very first tribal council that we go

to. So I'm, like, safe.

Dude, you're talking to me, Yao Man. I'm sorry.

Yeah.

Trust me, Yao Man's not an American hero like you think he is. Even Johnny

Fairplay wouldn't tackle someone's head into the side of a boat for an immunity

idol.

Yao Man's not nice.

He sucks.

So, as soon as that idol's gone, see you later, bucko.

Nice to meet you, buddy.

Chet, Jason, when we first pulled up to the beach, it was really exciting. You

know, we're the fans of Survivor, so this is all of our dreams to be out

We definitely want to kick the favorites ass.

Arrive. Arrive. Arrive.

As in we have arrived.

Arrive. Arrive.

How about Johnny Fairplay?

Yeah. I'm a fan.

I'm not somebody that just said, oh, let's go be on Survivor. Like, they all

think they know how to do it and that, like, the way they did it was right.

Exactly. Now that we know we're playing the favorites.

I mean, we are out for blood. We have the advantage because we know how they

play. They know not a damn thing about us.

All right, let's do something.

Our tribe, it consists of Big Bird.

We got the Southern Princess. We got the Incredible Hulk. We got Jon Bon Jovi in

his prime.

And then we got a clear eye for the straight guy.

Man, this is going to be a crew, let me tell you.

I think we need to do an elevated floor. Wherever you build a shelter, we've got

to clear it out.

Okay.

Okay, so like, okay, you're homosexual.

Okay. You prefer gay.

I don't even know the right word to use.

You're cool so far, go ahead.

I don't get offended, so don't worry.

Gay, okay? That's fine. Say gay. It doesn't mean like you want to be a girl.

heavens no.

Oh, dude.

Well, I knew that Chet was a homosexual right away.

You know, you can just tell he is. Yeah, I don't have a problem with it. But

I've never been friends with a homosexual. I think I worked with

1980s, bartending, that was gay, but that's been about it. You know what, I

you can be my first gay man friend. And I absolutely will. Because I've never

had a gay man friend. I bet you have, but you just don't know.

Kathy definitely, she just kind of puts her foot in our mouth sometimes.

I've never seen him plan, ever.

I've never seen him up close.

She made a comment about

Tracy's boobs.

The second the crazy lady found the immunity idol,

I think everyone was a little worried because I think we all kind of felt as a

consensus that she was going to be the first one to go.

I'm sure I got off on the wrong foot.

I guess sometimes it pays to keep your mouth shut, but I can't help myself.

The

fact

that we, the favorites, have played this game before, I think that is our

biggest advantage.

And it's an expectation that we've got to live up to. Can we just make a patch

right now that we're just going to kick their asses? Of course.

We should do the shelter as fast as possible. Just add in the open?

Uh, yeah. I mean, like, we have people that know how to build a shelter.

Let's build a real shelter.

Pretty crazy. Fans versus favorites.

We always knew Johnny Fairplay was a favorite.

Honestly, I think that's the shortest place, but, you know, I'm not fighting

anybody on anything.

The first time around, I was just a single guy on the prowl. Just go around.

got a girlfriend at home.

She's seven months pregnant.

Need to bring home some money for her.

Gets her work.

I just got a message in a bottle that said my grandma died.

Not falling for that one again.

Are you kidding me? Look at how fast he is.

I definitely appreciate the hard work that goes around on this camp. It's so

much nicer to have everybody pulling the rope and getting everything together,

helping each other and stuff. I almost wanted to give somebody a hug because it

was really nice.

Nice, Ozzy.

This is so much more pleasant than day one of last time. I know, right?

I mean, we all know what we're doing already.

So, I mean, the favorites definitely should have the advantage over the fans.

We're pretty much ready for palm fronds, right? Yeah.

I think we have a good group. I hope we win. I think so, too.

And everyone's already, like, bonding together.

I have to win this time. It's my second time. I'm not coming back here to starve

and be miserable.

Do you want to get more fun?

Yeah. I was the flirt on Cook Islands, and that's it. Like, there was no other

dimension to me at all, I don't think.

Do you want to piggyback?

Yeah.

Like, outwardly, yeah, I'm still going to be flirty.

But I'm playing smart this time. Like, I want to make the right alliances with

people that I know I can trust.

Oh, look at that crab.

And this time, there's only one guy to flirt with, really.

It's the big guy, James.

No, no.

No, he wasn't. He has, like, a pincer on the bottom.

Probably definitely attractive.

And, you know, there's something about her.

She's one of them six -kitten type girls.

And I like.

I will be totally honest with you. If you saw my season, you can know that

I say that I'm going to stick to something and do it. Yeah.

You know what? It's so funny that you're here because you're like one of my

favorite players.

I don't know. I think that's really cool.

I'd say I have pretty keen powers of observation, and from what I can tell,

Amanda and Ozzy have this rapport with one another already.

And you're like the loyal one. Yes. You know? I think that's so awesome.

And... Ever since we got here, Parvati hasn't been able to take her hands or

eyes off of James.

She is definitely going to have him wrapped around her finger.

So I think there definitely could be romance bubbling between both Parvati

James and Amanda and Ozzie. And so that makes all four of them very dangerous.

Good night, favorite.

Good night, favorites.

We need anything more?

Yeah, let's put a prong on the ground, too.

Oh, that's a good idea.

Is there anybody over here? I thought it was another one.

Tonight is night number one, and we kind of took a little too long to find a

location to build our shelter.

It didn't come along as planned.

I feel the bees picking up.

Holy crap!

Tonight's the first night here, and the downpour, it came and it was hard and it

didn't stop.

I hope by morning I feel a whole lot better, because right

now this sucks.

I knew you all.

This would be awesome.

We would be a really good group.

Yeah, why don't we stick together starting now?

Starting now?

We're not supposed to see each other tomorrow. I love it.

Hampton, I'll do it.

I'll do it. I love you guys. I love you guys.

Amy,

Yao Man, Jonathan, and myself, the four of us, are a tight alliance.

The problem is, it seems like there's another foursome out here, and that is

Amanda and Ozzie and Parvati and James.

We're very concerned about that foursome, and we were worried that they

try and pull in fair play in three.

We need a fifth.

We need a fifth.

I say fair play.

Wait a minute.

We have to turn on him before he turns on us. I don't care.

We're voting Eliza.

Okay. So who do we have?

Us three.

Yeah.

We can get James and Amanda for sure.

One, two, three, four, five.

We are a little wary of Eliza. Just hearing about the way she played the

Vanuatu, she's shifty, crafty. Some of us just feel like we can't trust her.

I'm easy, man. Trust me.

I'm a little nervous because...

Fairplay's got his villain persona to live up to, so maybe he will just betray

everyone he can.

I don't know. But at this point, we need Fairplay to make a strong alliance.

So we were productive.

Yeah. So they're done.

Johnny Fairplay's sitting back right now, being friends with everybody.

I'm a very likable person, a very nice person. I just have the ability to lie

very easily, which comes in handy here.

Hey, hey, quick, quick, quick.

James, Amanda, Ozzie, and Parvati are dungy all night. Absolutely.

Absolutely. So, they want Eliza gone.

They want what? Eliza gone.

We need to get rid of Ozzie or Parvati. It doesn't matter. I say Parvati first.

I say Parvati too.

With Parvati still in, she can manipulate crap in the way that Ozzie

I think we should take Parvati out first.

I think poverty is a much bigger threat as a social player than Ozzie is. Fair

play pretends he's with them.

And I act like everything's perfect. I'll play the game.

That'll be my thing.

Fair play is a gem to have on your alliance.

He needs us much more than we need him.

You keep him around for as long as possible. Hell, I'd take fair play to

if I could.

Do they think that you are with them?

Yeah.

I think it's insane that there's...

Nine other of your favorite survivors of all time.

And they all believe what I say.

Have you not watched this show before?

Galvan!

You think you have enough sun to do something with your glasses?

I can feel burning.

I'm trying to focus the sun onto this quote -unquote dry coconut husk.

With a drop of water on my glasses to act as a magnifying glass, a very nice

magnifying glass, the sun is almost vertical enough that this would work.

It works in CG.

It's so warm.

I know, it's unbelievably warm. It's like pee water.

Wow, it's burning. Yeah, y 'all, man.

Yeah.

Yo, we need wood!

Yay. Good job, dude.

Yao Man got our fire started miraculously. We're all very excited. We

We've been eating. We've been drinking. We're all well -rested, well -hydrated,

and we're ready to kick some butt.

I hope we have something.

We've had nothing yet.

I'd eat rat guts right now.

We have three meals.

Hey, guys, we got tree mail.

Hey, we got tree mail. Tree mail.

It's a puzzle.

Yeah, I love puzzles. It says, 16 seasons later, you all should know the

Outwit, outplay, outlast. Don't waste time reinventing the wheel. I think

everybody's, you know.

biting at the bit just to get in the game. And I think the favorites are

chuckling at us right now, saying that we're going to be a piece of cake, that

they're going to walk all over us. Don't sound mean at the wheel means don't be

stupid. Don't be too smart.

Don't outthink yourself. They're not looking at us as competitors.

But that's good. Even better. Underdog will take that role.

Come on in, guys!

Deja vu.

So, here we are, our first challenge.

Eliza, you guys have played this game before. Did you see the advantage you

now in getting a shelter up quickly?

Jeff, you have no idea how much of an advantage we have. Not only do we have a

shelter, but we have fire, we have food, we all have full bellies.

We are so excited and so pumped for this challenge.

Ready to kick some butt. We're doing three courses for every meal.

It's ridiculous.

I'm getting fat. I've gained weight since I've been here.

Joel, you buying all this?

No.

You guys are dumber than you look.

But, hey, you know, if it is, good for them. They can get fat and happy, and we

can win the challenges.

Here's how it works. On my go, you must race to assemble four wheels and place

them on your cart.

You must then push your cart through a series of obstacles.

When you reach the sand pit, you must dig up a bundle of planks.

You'll use the planks to fill in gaps in the bridge.

Push your cart over your bridge to the finished platform, where you must then

take the wheels off of your cart and use them to complete a turnstile.

Finally, you'll use the turnstile to raise a firelock lighting the top of the

platform. First tribe to finish wins.

Want to know what you're playing for?

Immunity. When you have immunity in your possession, you cannot be voted out. In

addition, the winning tribe gets fire in the form of flint.

All right, give you a minute to strategize.

My God.

Right here. Right here. Some fan ass right here.

Here we go. The first challenge of fans versus favorites.

Survivors ready?

Go.

Go, go, go, go.

Have to assemble the four wheels, then put them on your cart.

I got it.

I got it. I got it.

I got it.

I can look at it.

Nice, nice, nice.

Fans have their four wheels.

Behind you, behind you, Amanda.

Favorite having no luck putting their four wheels together.

Come on, guys.

Calm down.

Look at it. Look at it.

Come on, guys. We got this.

The fans are off.

Favorite still working.

Falling behind. Look at that one.

We can still do it, you guys. We can still do it.

Fans working through the obstacle.

Jason, Joel, Mikey B tearing it up. One, two, three.

Here comes the cart.

Rolling over their tribe.

Fans are through the obstacle.

Favorites have their cart.

They are back in there.

An absolute wipeout for the favorites.

Are you okay?

This challenge is falling apart for the favorites.

Fans still with a good size lead. They are now digging up the planks.

Favorites trying to get back on course after a big wipeout.

These wheels aren't dirty.

Watch out for the tree. Favorite's starting to make up some ground.

Fans have their planks out of the sand. Got to untie them. Here come the

favorites.

They're back in it.

Dig. Dig, dig, dig.

Eric giving a little greeting to the favorites. Trying to distract them while

his tribe continues to work with the planks.

Fans are very much in control.

Taking their time.

Building their bridge.

We got this, see? Let's go guys, go!

Fans,

first over the bridge!

Favorites have their planks! They're back in this!

Plank!

Plank, plank, plank, plank!

Come on, let's go, let's go!

Favorites are now building their bridge!

Quickly get the wheels off their cart and they're working on the turnstile.

Favorites are now down the bridge and making their way.

Fans working together very well.

Gotta finish the turnstile.

Using the pieces of the wheels.

favorites now quickly trying to work on their puzzle.

The Vans have their turnstile complete.

Congratulations. Immunity.

Nobody going home tonight.

And fire in the form of Flint.

Favorites, you know this drill.

Date with me tonight at Tribal Council, where one of the favorites will have the

distinction as being the first person voted out of fans versus favorites. Grab

your stuff and head back to camp.

See you tonight at Tribal.

We tried hard.

Lost. No shame in losing.

These fans are so excited, so enthusiastic. I mean, they're playing

It's their dream. And they just had more heart out there.

The loss, it's going to humble us and make us ready to kick ass in the next

Yeah. I may not swim as well as Ozzy, but I think I did pretty good today.

Yeah.

We're going to tribal council, and, oh, gosh, I do not have a plan at all. I

have no idea what I'm going to do right now.

I don't really trust any of these people.

I don't care. I'll get rid of anybody as long as it's not me.

What am I good at?

I think I'm good for morale, entertainment value.

That's about it.

Right now, I could go either way and totally change the game in two different

directions.

Two groups I'm playing are the four of Yaman, Eliza, Jonathan, Amy.

And then you have the alliance of Ozzy, James, Parvati, and

Amanda. They're after Eliza, so we'll see.

People understand what crazy thing you're going to do. I'm like, how about

crazy thing is I don't do anything.

I just want to see my girlfriend. That's it.

I think about my girlfriend and my upcoming little girl

every single second out here.

And I want to win this game for them.

I can't stop thinking that maybe there's something wrong with my little girl.

And I'll tell you what, a million dollars is great.

But having a healthy little girl.

That's the biggest prize I can win right now.

I want to see my girl.

And go.

I'm kind of already over this.

I keep leaning towards Abby, guys.

Shut up.

You'll ruin our whole plan.

Maybe you should, though.

They're still alive, though.

Yeah. I don't know. I mean, it might be just too crazy, but I came up with this

little plan to distract Jonathan, Eliza, yeah, man, and Amy into voting for

Fairplay. And we're all voting for Eliza just because I don't want Eliza turning

around and trying to, you know, make me.

I mean, having a kid's a pretty powerful thing. Yeah.

You know?

I'm just emotionally not here. So, I mean, I'm sorry.

Yeah. I'm just, I can't, you know. Is there any way that I can talk you into

saying it?

No.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, it sucks.

Fair play is a loose cannon.

Fair play said to me that he wanted to go home.

He just puts you on your...

serious dance guard because you don't know ever what he means.

He doesn't want to stay?

He does not want to stay.

Or is he just saying that so we all vote for him and then he is with him?

You just got to be careful because we could pull fast one.

I just got to make sure that he doesn't do anything crazy. I'm a little worried

that Fair Play is going to come together with James, Ozzy, Amanda, and Parvati.

All I know is tonight, Tribal Council is going to be crazy because if I know

Johnny Fairplay, he is going to stir things up.

I'm ready.

Let's battle.

Tribal Council.

Behind each of you is a torch. Go ahead and grab a torch. Approach a flame.

This is part of the ritual of tribal council because in this game, fire

represents your life.

As long as you have that fire, you're in the game. When your fire's gone, so are

you.

Johnny Fairplay, you guys have all played this game. Everybody here should

in fairly well versed in terms of what is required.

How did it go when you got to camp?

Cake. I mean, food is a lot easier here. We've made an amazing shelter.

So I think our only problem was, I'm guessing, overconfidence.

Eliza, let's talk about past reputations. How big a factor are

coming into this game?

It's definitely a factor. I mean, whether or not somebody says, oh, I'm

going to get to know you for you.

It doesn't matter. That's going to be in the back of their head. They're going

to remember the things you did, the moves you made, and how you interacted

people. And that's going to probably play a factor in the way people vote.

Johnny Fairplay, probably nobody in this game has a bigger reputation than you.

I agree.

Can that be an advantage?

Honestly, I think everyone here was kind of surprised with the real Johnny

Fairplay, I guess.

And I can easily say I feel that all of them trust me. But at the same time,

like... My head's kind of screwed up right now. I have a little baby on the

and honestly, all I think about is my little baby Piper, okay? You know, like,

that's all that's going through my head.

I mean, I'm like, you know, am I being a crappy dad by being here?

But you're not a father yet.

Yeah, I'm this close.

I mean, I had no idea that I was going to think like this once I got here. I

mean, I don't have a kid. I'm about to have one, and guess what? It changes

It changes your head. It makes you crazy.

So you want to go home or you had a bad afternoon and now you're trying to

recover. You know, last time I learned how to be Johnny Fairplay and be an ass.

This time, you know what? If I learn how to be a good dad, so be it.

So, I mean, I just, you know, my head is hurry right now.

Why are you smiling now, man? Well, because my first thought is, you know,

what's the scheme?

It's a very strange thing to say to a suddenly just out of the blue.

Ozzy, is this just simply a case of fair play can't hack it? It's much harder

than he remembered, and he wants to go home.

Jeff, I'll honestly tell you, no, I don't think so. You can say what you

Jeff. I don't need this to put on a little show for you. I mean, like, I'm

screwy right now.

You know, emotions are going crazy in my head, and that's it.

And it wasn't supposed to be this difficult.

Jonathan. Fairplay has a reputation of pulling scams and lying.

Just to be clear, what is he doing?

I think he's asking us to vote for him.

I think, you know, somebody has to go home, somebody wants to go home, and

going to go home.

So it's a quit?

This is not a quit.

Forgive my skepticism, but last time you cried over a dead grandma who

conveniently was at home watching on TV. I understand.

Yes or no answer.

Is this a quit?

Eliza? No.

This is not a quit.

There is still a possibility in my mind that Fair Play is not going home

tonight. I mean, I don't think there's one person who didn't bring their stuff

with them, so we're still voting.

Oh, we are voting.

All right, Yao Man, you have the immunity idol. It is only good tonight.

You can use it for yourself.

No, I'm keeping it. All right, you cannot vote for Yao Man. Everybody else,

including Mr. Fair Play, is fair game.

Time to vote. Amy, you're up.

Johnny, I've got to vote for you. You've asked me to. I wish you the best of

luck.

Johnny,

do

you need any advice on how to raise a baby to be a happy and well -adjusted

child? I will be very happy to give you some advice.

Thank you.

Dr. Kelly, the votes.

Once the votes are read, the decision is final. Person voted out will be asked

to leave the tribal council area immediately.

First vote.

Fair play.

Fair play. Two votes, fair play.

That's three votes, fair play.

Fair play.

Four votes, fair play.

Fair play. That's five votes. Fair play.

First person voted out as Survivor fans versus favorites.

Johnny, fair play. That's six. That's enough. You need to grab your torch.

Johnny, fair play.

The tribe has spoken.

Time for you to go. Can I get a hug?

You be nice to those guys.

Bye, guys.

Well, I never would have predicted that.

Good news is, because you've been to tribal council, you get fire in the form

Flint. Oh.

Yeah, man, you can leave that idol behind. It's of no use anymore.

Grab your torches. Go back to camp.

Good night.

Stay tuned for scenes from our next episode.

Next time on Survivor. Why is everybody talking all the time and not working?

The fans are in turmoil.

Emotionally it's not good for me to be here.

The rules have changed at Exile Island.

Two people, one idol. Wow. And two castaways have a night to remember.

Go get a hotel room.

I definitely feel I did the right thing. I had every single person here eating

out of the palm of my hand.

And to go out on my own terms, I'm very happy with that. No regrets at all. Last

time I was the biggest bad guy ever, and this time I'm a responsible adult that

people liked, some even loved.

What's going on in the world?
