Less clear, however, is whether the voiceover claim that "The winners get to choose" refers to who goes to Exile Island, or to something else. As for the challenge, each tribe has a launcher and four tribe members on a perch over the water. The goal seems to be catching volleyball-sized objects flung from the launcher. We see Terry and Shane each catching one, and Aras apparently missing one (there's a missed ball behind Terry as he throws his back). Hard to conclude much from that. CBS does swear that "One Survivor proves to be an All-Star at the Reward Challenge, securing a major win for a starving tribe." Sounds like Terry, and Shane's in-camp freakout could be a reaction to losing a third straight challenge.

Later, it reverts back to the real clue Bruce would have seen during Ep2, which does not say Clue 3, and only has one section of the island crossed off. Good eyes, QE, and of course: way to edit, CBS! We note that it's clearly Bruce, because whoever's reading it has a massive ring on his right hand, which looks identical to the one Bruce is wearing when he breaks the flint. Also, the shot of Bruce collecting the clue must have come from Ep3 originally, because his buff has been extremely poorly colorized to look orange (instead of the purple one he will wear in Ep3).

Lots of shots of people running around with pillows, being tackled, being dumped upside down, and generally grunting a lot. We're not really sure what the rules are, but we can say that Casaya wins. Why? Well, see below.... Immunity Challenge vidcaps - Click thumbnail to view larger image BOOT: Dan We've been told this week's boot is Dan Barry, astronaut. Good thing he made that final two alliance with Terry, eh? Not to mention their agreement with Austin to vote out the ladies first. Oh well. Have some info we missed? We'll take it: Click here
