Heroes vs. Villains episode 9 detailed immunity challenge
spoilers/ spec |
This
one's a puzzler. Not sure where this challenge comes from, since
it involves puzzle bags, which have been in almost every challenge
the last two seasons. Could also be for reward.
The one shot of the challenge shown is of JT
carrying a puzzle bag attached to a rope, in knee-deep water.
There are any number of challenges involving retrieval of puzzle
bags, and the rope may or may not have been in the original challenge.
Thanks to the lack of PIP promos, due to the largely commercial-free Masters
PGA tournament, this is all we have to go on, at least until
the press photos come out. Maybe.
Update: cindidindi76 and JLK
Name at MeSS identified
the challenge as "the challenge in Vanuatu where Leanne got lapped
and almost drowned" and "Survivor
Palau? the challenge where
Stephenie was the last female standing?". MayanSun then
supplied the challenge titles and descriptions: "Strung
Out" (Vanuatu) & "Under
Current" (Palau): "Four players start from a pontoon and
one at a time must take two puzzle bags to shore feeding them
along a rope winding around an outrigger canoe, up and over a
wall on a pontoon, around three submerged hitching posts, an
underwater truss, the finally take them ashore to a puzzle solving
area. Next person begins after puzzle bag as been delivered.
When all bags have been delivered, puzzle solvers begin final
task."
An alternative challenge, however, is the one
suggested by SquidProQuo at
Blows: "Survivor Panama -- unfortunately this clip cuts off the
end, where supposedly after going through the obstacle course
in the water, they have to reattach themselves to the rope and
come running back to the beach with a bag. [Fancast video here]." tribephyl dug
up the name and description: "Episode 11: Perilous Scramble
Reward Challenge 1: The tribe will be divided into two teams
of three. Each team member will be attached to a rope that spans
the length of an obstacle course. They must follow the rope while
navigating the various obstacles. When the final platform is
reached, they will unclip from the rope and, one at a time, race
across a lily pad run, jump into the water and retrieve one of
three bags. Once all three bags have been retrieved, they will
clip onto the rope again and make their way back through all
the obstacles to the beach. The first team to reach the finish
with all three members and all three bags wins the first Reward."
For what it's worth, our old vidcaps and the CBS recaps of the
various possibilities:
- "Strung Out" (Vanuatu Ep6 IC): TDT vidcaps; CBS recap
- "Under Current" (Palau Ep8 IC): TDT vidcaps;
CBS recap
- "The Key of Sea" (Panama: Exile
Island Ep11 RC): TDT vidcaps;
CBS recap
Against the possibility of the last challenge, however, the players
were clipped into the rope leading back to the beach by a ring
on a belt they were wearing. In the shot of JT from this challenge,
the puzzle bag itself is attached to the rope, and JT has no
belt. The first two possibilities seem more likely.

Probst says "Go!", probably here |
So
who wins? Since the boot comes
from the Villains tribe this week, that would indicate the Heroes
win immunity this week (yet again).
