2 detailed Expedition spoilers/ speculation |
The
new episode brings with it new teams, and new exciting shots
of rowing (or this week, swimming), running, reading minutes-old
maps, and possibly digging. You loved it the first week, right? TV
Guide promised something Eco-Challengesque, and the
result looked somewhat less taxing (and interesting) than standing
in line for a ride at Disneyland. Hard to believe a challenge
could be hokier, more trite, and less exciting than something
from Survivor,
but clearly, Mark Burnett found a way. Maybe it was the authentic,
turn-of-the-19th-Century rubber diving masks.
Well, regardless of your answer, we'll go
through the various shots once again, anyway. For starters,
as discussed on the crews page,
the expedition appears to commence with the contestants jumping
ship. That
means no longboats (in theory, unless they pick them up at
some point along the way) on this expedition.

Sometime after this (a while after,
since everyone looks pretty dry) comes a stage we call "Find
something in snake-accented water." We'd say snake-infested,
but (1) one snake doesn't make an infestation, (2) the snake
doesn't appear to be particularly close to the water, (3) given
the gripping drama and realism of the first expedition, the
snake may well be animatronic. But at least Azmyth and Laurel
seem to be hesitating before jumping in, so maybe there's at
least psychological drama.
And
finally, Joy
seems to be well on her way to becoming Cameron
Daddo's surprising,
"woman who was not particularly strong on expeditions and
not particularly popular with the crew and yet she persevered
and the other pirates kept her around."

Beyond this, we have a bunch of shots which
are neither particularly informative nor interesting (the
one of Cheryl may not even be from this episode), but at
least show Louie running with some sort of authentic pirate
laptop-style device.

 Who
wins? No idea. But there is at least a shot of someone opening
up a treasure chest that's in this week's promos, and wasn't
a part of the pre-show promos (as far as we can tell, since
95% of the videos on Innertube don't actually play for us...
we're guessing that Viacom is actually suing YouTube because
the more-popular site's coders won't reveal the secret of
hosting internet videos that people can actually watch).
So maybe's that's from this week? If so, that looks like
Christian's hand, so we'll guess the red crew finds the gold.
Then again, since the odds are 1-in-12
of that actually being from this episode, probably not.
