Theme Song
MUSIC: I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous! I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!
The clapperboard snaps down after the first few seconds and the camera races through the island. Sasha is painting her nails and the camera spills her nail polish, making her upset. Jeanna and Lance are balancing on a balance beam before falling off. Elliott then ushers the camera to the firepit, where the campers whistle the ending.
Trivia
- This season premiered 5 months after Season 17 finished airing. This was due to a hiatus/cancellation of the show that lasted from November to May.
- Chris McLean and Chef Hatchet are back to host the season! Chef hasn't been the co-host since the first Frye Island season, and Chris took a vacation for Season 17.
- This is the final season to have 13 episodes, as confirmed by Mekapanema TV.
