From SurvivorFever: "The Final Four Immunity Challenge will test the Survivors' balance and accuracy. Each tribe member will stand on a very small perch at the top of a 20-foot pole in the water. When the game begins, they will lower a bucket into the water to fill it, then pour from the bucket into a very narrow bamboo shoot. As the bamboo shoot fills up with water, it will raise a flag. Once the flag is high enough to reach, they must carefully grab it and raise it above their head." Last Edited By: Roadfinder 05/09/08 11:24 PM. Edited 1 times.

Typically the final IC is endurance / balance rather than who can do something quicker. Whereas the perch challenge requires balance it is more of a race to see who fills the tube with water to raise the flag. Second don't recall they have never recycled an IC from a preliminary event into a final IC.

I know they're not necessarily taken at the same time, so that doesn't mean anything, I'm just trying to understand how the challenge works. I could actually imagine Cirie being good at this, sorta like sticking the surgical instruments into the right place in the patient. Just by looking at the pictures, the black and white measuring thing is at different levels for Cirie and Natalie, so I think the way it works is that as they pour water into the main tube, it connects and loops around to a tube with the measure attached to a float in it, so that the water level rises, moving the measure up? So Natalie seems to be getting close, and probably when something at the bottom of the measuring marker shows up, they win immunity? In Amanda's picture, that's either before the challenge begins or she falls off during the challenge. I also think that it'll be a F4 reward (ladders), F4 immunity (perch) and then a surprise F3 immunity (endurance) I agree very much with you Ken. The ladders Reward challnege will be probably simillar to the F4 IC from Vanuatu or the F4 RC in China. The IC is the F5 challenge from Panama: Exile Island. The FIC will be some kind of endurance challenge.

Leading to an F2. Are we not taking into account China's promo last season, or what? Sorry if it's already been said, but 2 TC's = F4 TC, and then the final TC, which = F3. Not that these blurbs are always accurate.

But if it weren't, I'd still say that there is a Final 3 since well, if the Final IC is just that Perch from Exile Island, I think that'll be the lamest of all final challenges ever.

Each tribe member will stand on a very small perch at the top of a 20-foot pole in the water. Sounds like a version of the Exile Island F5 IC. Cirie and shane were way behind the rest. I predict Parvati will win. She has good balance, and showed her accuracy in throwing water when she won the Family Visit RC in S13. Amanda's height is probably a disadvantage. Parv winning fits with her getting emotional about booting Natalie, since the necklace holder can vote how they want without fear. So Parv is immune, Natalie goes all out for an Amanda boot, and Parv is reduced to @%@%@ torn between her good friends. "reduced to t.ears" - Admins, blocking that word ir more annoying than FOC ever was. Last Edited By: craig 05/10/08 4:53 PM. Edited 1 times.

Posts: 1290 (05/10/08 5:01 PM) Registered user More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	I'm thinking now that Cirie won't be very good at this... Looks like there are some platforms in the water between the colored poles and the ladders on land? Among possibly other things, they must retrieve the rungs to build the ladder to go up the wall? Reckon they managed to work a zipline in there somewhere? Interesting challenge setting, anyways. They've not done a real good job with the camera work on the woods ones this season. I hope they'll be able to give us some good shots of this course while the challenge is going on, not just Probst hollering. (Actually, why wouldn't they use this challenge more clearly in the promos? Seems like there had to be an exciting shot in their somewhere, that would appeal to the jocks who think they don't want to watch a finale with just emotion and strategy and girl stuff like that.)

Posts: 1614 (05/10/08 9:06 PM) More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	So if that's the F4 immunity challenge, and there's a F3, then there's no final endurance challenge... and the final endurance challenges are usually my favourites of the seasons...

Posts: 1127 (05/10/08 9:24 PM) Registered User More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	There it is! Looks like Natalie has one in (top) and Amanda has in one (2nd from bottom). P.S. Not the guy under Cirie's Green ladder.

Interesting that the three of them are apparently so close, after already doing whatever. (I guess the colored poles, since they are wet). Parvati sorta looks like she's getting something on the ground, but I don't think I see any little piles of rungs, like if they had retrieved a bag of puzzle rungs from the colored pole. Could this be like that insanely long China one where they had to go back and forth, one key at a time? Surely if Cirie had already finished this part, there would be rungs in her ladder. It doesn't look like the sort of ladder where you'd pull them out after yourself to use again later. (chad6, the black one we were thinking is the Probst ladder. Darn egalitarian of him to go up that way, instead of having them build him a ramp.)

Posts: 1033 (05/11/08 12:10 AM) MESS member More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	It looks to me like Amanda is putting in a second rung, the bottom one. I think perhaps Parvati has one in too, and you can't see it behind her. It looks like Natalie is actually putting her third rung in. You can see the shadow of her first rung (in the second slot) under Amanda's arm. If I'm right, Natalie is winning at this point. Of course, we can't see much of Parvati's ladder and part of Amanda's isn't visible either, so some of their higher rungs could be in as well. I would guess that Cirie hasn't gotten there yet, as opposed to she has finished. Why would she need to take out the rungs once she stuck them in? Doesn't seem as plausible, so I think she is behind. Love the cameraman! LOL!
