Six adventurers arrived on Scorpion Island and were split into two teams, Sting and Claw. Hidden in the deep part of the island was a secret camp called Limbo, where 10 captives are held. The teams would battle it out to rescue team members from Limbo.
There were 16 adventurers on the island, 12 from the UK and 4 from Australia. The Australian adventurers were Alex Y, Ayla, Lachlan and Tara.
Original Teams:
Claw
Sting
Limbo Captives:
Final Teams:
Team Claw (Black Helmets) 6 Members. Camp: Tree Camp.
Team Sting (Orange Helmets) 10 Members. Camp: Boat Camp.
The Power Plays are special advantages that are held by Limbo captives. They may only use their power play when they are on Sting or Claw. The captives are supposed to keep their power play a secret, but if they reveal their secret to someone in Claw or Sting before they're released from Limbo, their power play is passed on to someone else.
Note: Episode count are based in Australian airing (in which 2 half hour episodes are show for each day on the island). UK airs 1 hour episodes for each day.
On the first day at Scorpion Island, all six of the original members skydived on Scorpion Island from a height of 4000 metres ready to take part in the challenges that the island has waiting. Meanwhile, ten members were locked up in a crate hanging from a helicopter and landed on the island as well. Unfortunately, all of them are Limbo captives.
In the first challenge, Sting were leading earlier, but one of the logs broke just as they got their team flag and ended up hanging on another log. Claw later had the lead, but not only did one of the stepping logs broke, Tara dropped their team flag just as she was about to put it in her pocket. It was neck and neck as they both descended the challenge. Claw got to the ground first, but had to go to Sting's side to reclaim their flag, but it was too late and Sting won the challenge. Sting chose Boat Camp, leaving Claw with Tree Camp.
