| REWARD
CHALLENGE/ Getaway RC plus car RC, water obstacle race - Eliza
wins? |
"Today
you'll push your limits, of swimming, balance and diving. A test
of will and stamina, for the last six still surviving. A game changing
reward, with rejuvenating power. Fuel for your body, fuel for your
soul, and a hot, relaxing shower." As shown in the late-arriving
web promo, the prize is not only a getaway, but also a car (the
Pontiac G6). This was cleverly predicted ahead of time by ExtraCrispyCaneRat and
Garbotalk at MeSS. So there. They didn't need no stinkin' web promo.
The course seems to involve
running across narrow planks/canoes, swimming out to buoys, diving
to retrieve multiple (three?) flags, and returning to hang the
flags on a pole on the beach. Everyone
(except Scout, of course) is shown with at least one flag. The
first people into
the (first flag's) swimming leg would appear to be Ami and Eliza,
which is not out of character with past challenges. Ami would appear
to have the best overall chances, but there is a shot of Eliza
running up the beach near the end, since three poles (Green-Eliza,
Yellow-Ami, ad Blue-Chris) are
visible with two flags each on them. So we'll go with a surprising Eliza win
over Ami here.

Fuel
for the soul? Maybe, but does your soul provide fuel
for the G6? Didn't think so. |
They're
off... and still no sign of a necklace. |
Eliza
nears the finish line? |

| IMMUNITY
CHALLENGE/ Something exceptionally lame - Chris wins? |
All
that's clear about this challenge is that there must be one. We
feel the pre-challenge shots in the post-Ep11 TV promo are probably
pre-RC. It's not obvious that the gasps of surprise during Probst's
reveal
might
not be excitement at the reward (Eliza) and shock at the challenge's
difficulty (Julie). Everyone is wearing their suits on both occasions,
Probst
is dressed the same, and both are at a beach.
Even without the
gasps, there has still not been a gross food challenge on the show,
so that's one dead horse that is still likely to be
further beaten, although this is usually heavily advertised. The
web promo failed to add anything, so we're back to guessing. Our
guess is that it has no action whatsoever, so as not to merit promo
inclusion. As for the winner, we'll take Ami's apprehension at
Chris's potential to go
on an
IC winning
streak as prophetic, barring any images of the actual challenge.

| BOOT/
Ami |
Seraphaem and
Snewser seem
to agree. Clearly, flying saucers must be involved. We report,
you decide.
