Here we are at last, the first milestone on this game of Survivor Hamilton: Fire & Ice. As promised, below we will be revealing who is in each tribe, Fuego & Hielo. So Happy Christmas from our family to yours, and hopefully this is the first of an annual tradition of Christmas morning tribe reveals. Without further ado, Fuego.

The Fuego tribe symbolizes fire. Like the volcanic islands surrounding our location, this  group of castaways burn with a passion for competition and game domination. Fiery personalities will clash in challenges and at camp, while the castaways struggle physically and emotionally to gain and maintain control of the tribe. These 12 contestants will each use their unique skills to get them further in the game, one week at a time, no matter the cost.

Now who does that leave for Hielo?

Hielo is Spanish for Ice, and though we are a long way from the icy Antarctic waters, the Hielo tribe has enough ice-cold, calculating players to bring a chill to our tropical paradise. These are the players who are thinking 5 steps ahead, playing the long game while limiting immediate exposure. How will all these planners use eachother to further their games, and who will be blindsided by those closest to them?

So this is how the game will start: On January 13th there will be a Premiere post that introduces us to the tribes, and the game. On January 14th the first Immunity Challenge posted with instructions on how to submit your response. A few days later the results of the challenge will be revealed and the losing tribe will each vote someone out.

So let us know what you think in the comments. Did you end up where you wanted, or with who you wanted? Which tribe do you think is stronger? Now that the tribes have been announced, strategies for Week 1 will certainly begin, which means you’ll want to reach out to others to talk game. Please be mindful of peoples’ plans with their families over the next few days. I will send your email addresses to each tribe on Wednesday.

Who will be the first to comment? Merry Christmas.
