We
know the reward is "A private reward," enjoyed by "an
unlikely couple." Any couple that includes Jon, almost universally
despised, could be considered "unlikely." Okay, Lill
and Jon would border on extremely unlikely. But anyway, only one
challenge is (clearly) shown in the promos so far, and we can't
really tell if it's the RC or the IC. This challenge, which involves
using slingshots to smash three plates (per player) attached to
makeshift masts, we'll call the RC. We realize that there is a
dark object below Rupert's waistline that could be the immunity
sword in the arrival pictures (thanks to SurvivorFever
for the caps), but it doesn't really resemble the one shown in
the previous episode all that much. Without the video from this
one-time aired commercial to go on (thanks, CBS!), we can't really
say one way or the other. So we'll call that a shadow (or, as
SS
Magic Mark pointed out at MeSS, Rupert's hatchet), and not
a sword, making this the RC.
We do see Rupert standing with two different backgrounds, however:
Once chuckling in front of Sandra and the Morgans, the other aiming,
with just Jon in the background. If this is the usual plate-smashing
RC, it's possible Rupert and Jon are the last two standing. Or
it's possible Rupert is chuckling after losing (see above-referenced
MeSS thread for back-and-forth discussion). Not really too much
to go on, so we'll just guess randomly that the shooting pic is
late in the challenge. If so, it might seem sporting if one won
(probably Rupert, since he's featured, and since people start
plotting against him), and chose the other to accompany him for
the reward. On that flimsy foundation, we'll guess Rupert
wins, and takes Jon along for the ride.
But we wouldn't bet the farm on that.
