We're making our way upriver along the Rio Negro, in Northern Brazil, where the temperatures are scorching 103º degrees. This is where these 16 Americans are set to begin the adventure of a lifetime, an experience unlike any other.
They're about to be abandoned in the middle of the largest and most magnificent tropical rainforest in the whole world: the Amazon. Expanding two and a half million miles, the Amazon is responsable for 15% of the world's oxygen and it's the world's largest fresh water source.
Also, in this time of the year, the Amazon is a flooded forest, a land covered by up to sixty feet of water, but as the dry season emerges, the river subsides, revealing the dangers that were beneath: Cayman crocodiles, piranhas and the world's most feared snake, the Anaconda. Soon, torential thunder storms will arive, rocking this jungle and submerging the forest once again.
This will their home for the next 39 days. It is the ultimate challenge. 16 strangers, all from different walks of life, are left to fend for themselves, utilizing the resources of the land and their own survival skills, and forced to work together to create a new society while battling the elements and each other. They must learn to adapt or they'll be voted out of the tribe. In the end, only one will remain to claim the title of Sole Survivor.
39 DAYS, 16 PEOPLE, 1 SURVIVOR!

WELCOME TO SURVIVOR: RUSSIAN ROULETTE 6 - THE AMAZON!
After this long travel, it's time to find out who your tribemates are going to be. But, before that, I wanna tell you a quick story about how the Amazon got it's name. This place was discovered in 1541 by the Spanish explorers. While making his way through the river, they encountered a tribe of very fierce and courageous female warriors. This was the first notion that women could survive just fine on their own. Because of that, they named the Amazon after this all-female tribe.
So, it was only fitting that, while here in the Amazon, for the first time in the history of six incredible seasons of Survivor: Russian Roulette, we would have a tribe of only women against an all-male tribe, in an all-out Battle of the Sexes. With that in mind, let's take a look at the members of both JABURU and TAMBAQUI:
The game will officially begin TOMORROW NIGHT at the very first Immunity Challenge of the season and all the details are going to be explained in the Tree Mail that's going to be posted later today. While that doesn't happen, the avatars will be posted and the tribe camps will be open for their tribe members, so you can take the time to get to know your tribemates before the challenge.
Enjoy it! Good luck! ;D
