This occurred during the first challenge. The castaways competed in a physical challenge that required them to crawl through mud underneath a wooden structure.

Bruce repeatedly assured presenter Jeff Probst that he was alright while blood streamed from the cut and down his face, perhaps propelled by adrenaline.

Bruce, though, ultimately collapsed on the sand after a few minutes and briefly lost consciousness. The challenge ended formally at that point.

When the medics provided oxygen and dressed the wound, Probst helped hold up Bruce's head as the EMTs rushed in.

After a brief period of unconsciousness, Bruce, a realtor and insurance agent from Rhode Island, came to.

He helped his fellow members of the Tika tribe settle into their Fijian encampment and seemed ready to "Outwit, Outplay, Outlast".

That night, though, his eyes became far away, and medical assistance was summoned once more. "My head is hurting me," he said, his eyes glazing over.

Bruce's injury was the most horrifying of the premiere, but Ratu tribe member Matthew Grinstead-Mayle was also injured.

Medics put his arm in a sling and bandaged Matthew Grinstead-Mayle's foot, but he continued to work.
