The newly formed Tigers and Sharks have barely enough time to adjust to their new surroundings before the first two new arrivals of Shipwrecked 2009 descend on the island.
City boy Andrew and student Maz must spend an equal amount of time on both islands before deciding which tribe to join. It's Tiger Island first, where ex-Shark Hollie is feeling left out and quits the group in tears. And that's not the only rift on the island, as the newcomers are quick to notice; there's a boy-girl split developing, which they think can be fixed with their island law - and a dash of speed dating.
Across the lagoon with the Sharks, all attentions are on building the camp. Or rather, they are until Rose and Mackenzie start competing over who works the hardest, leading to a bust-up. And if this isn't enough conflict, ex-Tiger Nadejah is making her presence felt, as usual.
