In the cap kitteebud posted showing the camp (this one) notice the fire ring and the type of rocks it is made of.

Then look at the rock being carried by this dude:

It seems to resemble the rocks that the fire ring are made...

In regards the cap with Amanda touching two green cylindrical thingy's and the question if it is fishing gear. I would say that those green things may not be related to fishing, and why is everyone sitting around just looking at them? Where is the rest of the fishing stuff, hooks, etc, why not have them in the center as well. Could these things be from a tree mail, and about a challenge (one that could be one or two episodes in the future?

Kit, Ashley is standing and facing Dave in that pic. I believe it is Jamie who is missing from that shot. SSkills mentiones that Jamie is likely kidnapped to the FL (the winner of reward), and the fact that she's missing from this pic could very well explain it.

Is that round shaped object a water jug, perhaps?

Here's a picture of the same dragon carving. It's in the far left of this picture, next to the stone, to the left of the guy in the jeans and grren shirt. Hmmmm...no wrestler in sight ;)

It's making me think more and more that this IS the HII! (Sorry if this is old news).

It does look like twine. Fishing gear IS a strong possibility, we know they usually give them some about this time at RC.

But weren't they also given twine to construct their shelters? I thought I saw their bamboo lashed together with twine last episode?

MY question is, what is that thing IN FRONT of the twine that looks like it's carved like a dragon? CBS fiddling with the pictures or the HII?

Sam, to me Erik looks smug. Could it...

Good catch, Ts2-- Maybe they are giving away Flint and fishing gear freely this season....

So to summarize what is going on in this challenge.
It seems to me there are 5 people in the mud, possibly 6. There are four people standing on the platform, and those are from the tribe that voted off Chicken. So there should be three from each team in the mud each time.

The balls are two different colors, so most likely the goal is to get your tribe's color to a certain spot while...

But a preponderance of them seem to come from this Ep.2 challenge.

It means that 23 out of this 39-day game was rainy. Many of them Heavy or Thunderstorms.
I want to say that epi. two would probably not be the only muddy one, but it certainly looks extremely soupy!

The smiles mean maybe that they won their respective heats ... this doesn't necessarily mean they won the challenge.

However,

Jamie consolingly wipes visibly pissed Erik's forehead sort of indicates he lost.

kinda similar to Judd's intro, with that bit of mudd on his nose wailing his arms in victory

I think they look happy at this point because Erik (?) is clearly gaining ground on Amanda, IMHO.You can see the splash of mud of Erik's footstep as he's pushing forward with momentum, and Amanda's foot in the air as she's retreating. It also looks like the same group of players who are at the end with the ball in the yellow zone in croc's pic in post #6.

That being said, the happy, mud-splashed figures of Dave and Frosti do seem to indicate a win for the Tiger...

Check out Dave and Frosti on the right (and two of their other members- Looks like they are pretty happy as they root from the sidelines. Things must be going well for them in this challenge!

Maybe each round (pair of balls) goes until someone scores? So with three players, you have a choice of concentrating your resources on defending against the other score, or on scoring yourself (like pulling the goalie in hockey).

It seems like there ought to be something in the set up so that you were wrestling with someone vaguely your own size, like the wrestling challenge in Cook Islands being divided by gender, but we saw things like the sumo pushing and the mud lacrosse...
