Maria's cabin in particular was completely dry. Thanks to her waterproof backpack, not a droplet of rain entered her cabin.

The contestants soon woke up from the sound of rain hitting their roofs. They also quickly realized their next problem:

Breakfast!

Because the producers did not allow contestants to bring food to the island, their first day on the island wasn't great food-wise.

Only Maria as well as Judy's team had relatively good meals on the first day.

Now, the nine hungry contestants had to consider how to obtain today's food.

In the previous season, there were also many contestants who hadn't found food several days in a row. To avoid starving to death, they were forced to give up the competition so that the crew could come in to help.

Moreover, due to the ban on hunting wild animals on the island, the contestants’ food sources were limited to fishing and scavenging for wild fruits and vegetables.

After a whole day of eating shellfish, Maria planned to change tactics today.

Not only were they not nutritious enough, she was also a very picky eater and didn't want to eat the same food all the time.

The three groups in three different corners of the island all decided to do the same thing today:

Fishing! After all, fish was meat, which sounded a lot better than not-so-appealing wild fruits and vegetables.

As survival experts, Emilio and Simon quickly set out to make a simple fishing rod.

The two scholars, Boone and Kern, reacted a little more slowly, but when they realized what the survival experts were doing, they immediately followed suit.

But Emilio and Boone had more sinister plans. In addition to making suitable fishing rod for themselves, they also started breaking the smaller trees and thin branches near their base camp.

“No, no, no. This won't do. I can't make a fishing rod with this,” Emilio muttered loudly as he snapped another twig.

In fact, their real purpose was to prevent Maria from making her own fishing rod.

However...

Maria wasn't planning to go fishing from the get go. She wanted to eat fish, but she wasn't going to do so by using a fishing rod.

When the rest started carrying their DIY fishing rods out to sea, Maria also came out of her shelter.

“Good morning, Miss Jenkins," Emilio greeted her brightly.

Boone also smiled at her politely.

But upon seeing the broken branches on the ground, Maria didn‘t greet them back.

She ignored them and turned away coldly.
