Survivor Cambodia: Second Chance host Jeff Probst is outlining what viewers can expect to see on the fall season's premiere.

"First we took the Survivors on a little tour through Siem Reap and Angkor Wat in Cambodia to draw a parallel of the history of this place that they're going to be playing in to their own history and the idea of a second chance and the idea of seizing the moment," Probst told EW.
"If you don't seize the moment you'll be the old temple with the trees growing around it. You know, you gotta live!"
Afterward, the players arrive off the coast of Koh Rong, where the Survivor game officially kicks off and steals a page from the franchise's first season ever.
"We did something we did 15 years ago," explained Probst, "which is say, 'Here's a big supply boat, board the boat and take as many supplies as you can get.'"
But the start of the game won't be that simple considering Survivor has evolved leaps and bounds over the years.
"We added a twist," Probst continued. "And the twist was, there's another boat 100 yards out with a big bag of rice, so here's your dilemma: How much time do you want to spend gathering supplies before you split and race for the rice?"
The new twist was apparently a success because Probst admitted it turned out to be a completely chaotic scene.
"It played wonderfully," Probst said.
"I mean, out of the gate, you have a raft with nine people paddling, and you have Kelly Wigglesworth swimming ahead of it for a long ways. She swam ahead of it, and then finally [Woo Hwang] jumped in to take over, and then [Joe Anglim] jumped in for the other tribe and it was a swim to the rice. Very exciting way to start."
Probst also revealed how the castaways will be split into two tribes: Bayon and Takeo. Below is the breakdown, according to EW.
