Don't they set something up in advance, which is one reason they have multiple challenge locations. Those masts that were found in CI (I believe) would be one example.

I would love to see a behind-the-scenes video of those several days. There had to be all kinds of logistical scrambling, just to get all the people and things to the new right places at the new right time.

It would also be very interesting to know more about their decision process. At the time Jonathan was removed, were they considering that Chet and/or Kathy might well go without being booted? (That is, they needed to hold off a double boot, in case they lost another player.) Did...

It is very possibly a combined challenge. Just for their sake they need to shorten the 3 day cycles periodically. There still should be plenty of action for an ep. This is a very graphic challenge, with some injuries. Plus we've got two Exilees with immunity, and the Jason-rat incident. All the CBS promo scenes including the press releases are at this challenge.

You've done a super job translating the board for us, Kona.
It's very interesting to see how they changed the schedule to accommodate the changes in cast, Kona. Thank you for sharing that. Luv the behind-the-scenes stuff!

We are up through Day 20, the day the challenge white board plan ended.

Nothing real exciting about watching people drown under a sewer grate for example. LOL!

Kona, what day are we up to in the game? Does the white board cover this episode?

It may be a combo.

If there is a separate RC it may not be visually active enough for a promo segment. Nothing real exciting about watching people drown under a sewer grate for example.

birdlady, I've been wondering if there are only two bag swingers (Ami and Cirie for Malakal and James and Natalie (maybe) for Airai) and that they have to rush back and forth trying to keep all the bags swinging.. perhaps because they're unreachable if they stop swinging. (don't know if i said that clearly). THat would explain why Cire and Ami switch places.

Any chance this is a combo RC/IC?

It's sort of interesting where the swinging bags are in that Ami/face/idol shot. It looks like an orange bag is at the end of its swing, but isn't really near either of the people on the course. There is also a purple bag which is hanging straight down, which seems to be on a longer rope than the swinging orange one. Can the swingers raise and lower the bags? Can they reach them to pull them back for a second swing, or do you only get one per round?

From the overhead view of...

No doubt after Wez's shot that's IC.

IMO Ozzie being away means only one less vote for Ami. She's out of their alliance and Ozzie has Erik right where he wants him.

LOL! That Jonathan is quick on his feet. Sure wish he was still in the game, he always makes it interesting.

croc, those challenge shots occur after Alexis and Ozzy are gone. I don't even know if they get anything physical to represent their immunity, but if they do, it's not what is beside Jeff.

And we know from the Insider that Jonathan (and presumably Eliza) were closer to Alexis, while Parv was\is closer to Nat.

craig, we don't fully know the alliance dynamics of the nuAirai because they've never been to TC, which is where...

It looks like the idol just to the left of Ami's face.
You can see why the table looks see-through in the blurry image because of it's construction.

If Ozzy\Amanda\Cirie exile Alexis before the IC, that is the perfect move to maximize James\Parvati's chances of surviving TC should they lose. They need only pick up Eliza, Nat, or Jason to win the vote, none of whom are a block like Alexis\Nat. And we know from the Insider that Jonathan (and presumably Eliza) were closer to Alexis, while Parv was\is closer to Nat.

Yes but check out this shot...It looks like 2 objects not the II.

That doesn't look like the II next to Jeff.

Re: S16 Ep 8 - Challenge (Land, Balance)

feeds@yuku.com (jessiiiek) — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 09:14:50 GMT

No, croc, because the rest of Airai still needs their II; that's what the whole challenge is about.

Alexis and Ozzy are going to Exile. They miss the IC and they miss TC.

So that must be INs or a reward by Jeff and not the II.

We see Erik getting wasted trying to cross a balance bridge... Only to look at spinny wheels over the water.
