James is throwing at one that has has both a 5 and 3 and the 5 is raised higher.

The 5 is definitely three dimensional. Could be that you have to break a clay disk in order to get the points, and the 1 and the 3 have already had their disks broken.

As for the two tiered benches, I think Trix is correct that in the second lineup shot they have moved from in front of the first row of benches, to in front of the second row of benches. Both sets of benches...

In this clip from SF you can see the '1' to the far right. So I think the numbers (1,3,5) are kill shot points. James is throwing at one that has has both a 5 and 3 and the 5 is raised higher. So I believe who ever gets the most points by hitting the numbers win. There is most likely more than 1,3 and 5 since we can only see a small part of target board.

Erik and Denise may have an edge, but throwing the morningstar is a bit difficult. You need to have the right angle for it to move right, and that depends on the weight of them.

Forgive me if this was mentioned elsewhere and I just didn't notice, but they each have on different colored scarf thingies. Todd's is green and around his head, Courtney's is yellow on on her waist, and so on. So my guess is that this is a classic "you have to break three or four things" and that the colors somehow code to their own plates or whatever they are.

My guess for Denise is that when the vote at TC to reward someone, they reward her thinking...

No hair analysis from me croc :-) It looks the same. As far as I am concerned, they start in the one position where the blocker is in front of their feet and then move for the challenge. Denise is being watched and who knows, James is probably just caught in mid shot looking somewhere else. Not sure why there would be multiple benches other than when they are done, they sit on them. The two tiered ones I can see being used for the eliminated ones (if that is the case) as I thought they...

Sun angles alrighty, not bad Kona ...we need a hair analysis here too. Maybe there are just different shooting ranges.

Do we know if the TC is nearby? They did stage an RC at the TC site earlier - the night challenge.

After building such a magnificent structure as they did for TC, I don't think they would do TC right here. No voting urn, no snuffer, the jury would be sitting on the benches with the others on the bleachers, too close. This challenge is played in full daylight with the sun high overhead, TC is done at night. Plus, they would be bringing their torches with them to the challenge. I like how everyone is trying to think outside the box, but I don't think we have hit it yet.

If they use a lot of the hour showing us Shaolin, they might do a Tribal Council right there after the challenge. The benches could be for a TC.

wild guess and probably wrong. just tossing it into the pot

feeds@yuku.com (kobrien fan) — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 15:57:53 GMT

Is there anyone else who could come in to sit on row after row of benches? Like some of the Shaolin dudes?

Since this is the IC, I would say no. If it was for the jury, there would only need to be seats for 3. No need to have visitors of any kind at an IC unless they were judges for a dance like in Fiji. The other times we have seen tiered benches is in a Q and A challenge, a food auction, or the like. The last time this arena was used was at the rock hammer...

Only Jeff isn't standing by the idol stand he's standing by the ramp in.

As you can see by the second picture there's rather large area that's not being utilized if all the action is by the benches.

If that is the case, then that still doesn't explain what role the two tiered benches play, and what are PG and the others looking and smiling/scowling at. Jeff has a smile and head tilted up, eyes looking right at the bench area, PG, Todd, Courtney, Amanda, and Erik are all looking downward at an angle, James is looking away and with a big scowl. It appears that if they are looking at Denise she is pretty close to the two tiered benches because of the angle of the eyes. If she had...

The sun appears to be high and behind Todd in this image

In this image the sun is on the right, so Todd must have been throwing from the right to the left, parrallel to and not toward the benches.

feeds@yuku.com (Martrae) — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 10:49:16 GMT

Perhaps they sit on the bench farthest back while they await their turn, stand at the fore bench to make their throws and then move to the smaller benches to the side when their out? There's an awful lot of room still yet in that area and I can't really see them throwing towards where they sit.

Good idea about a place to set objects. The larger benches seem to be right in the middle of the course.

Bad shots are bad shots, Brandon almost shot himself in S3. They'd have to be well off the course to be out of it.

feeds@yuku.com (kobrien fan) — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 09:42:57 GMT

OK, thinking about the two tiered benches and the looks on the peoples faces as they watch Denise do something. What if the first part of the challenge is that one by one they are instructed to take a "vase" or object of another persons color and put it on the two tiered bench in any position that they want. Maybe they even have to answer a question first to get the right to do the placing. Maybe Denise is placing one of James front and center in a spot where it makes his vases...

Are you matching up the other elements of the picture? The corner of the ramp visible to Probst's right in the "post" image? And the bamboo uprights wrapped in banners?

Minimally, we're all seeing at least three two-person benches, which would be six to sit and one to throw, so maybe ok. If there are actually rows and rows of "benches", they must really be stands for whatever the target is? Which would be a weird layout for the whole arena, to pack...

We know there is a reward trip to Shaolin Temple. We don't know anything other that there are 2 challenges from the challenge board. What they are is no known yet.

ETA - Despite PG having the IN is this IC?
