| REWARD
CHALLENGE/ "Redemption" super challenge - Julie wins |
From
the web promo, it appears the reward challenge winners get to travel
to an active volcano (presumably among other things), which gives
one interpretation of the title. There is a shot at the volcano
(below, right) of the winner and the guest of their choice (presumably),
one of
whom
appears
to be wearing Chris's hat. Julie wears Chris's hat at the start
of the challenge, and upon further review, particularly taking
note of OkieLoki's
observation that the strap is extended, the wearer of Chris's
hat
at the volcano appears
to
be... Julie. Who's with her? VolcanicGlass
has posted a series of high-quality animations of the pair at the
volcano, and the person on the left (holding the lantern) appears
to be either Scout or Chris. It's hard to say for sure, but strategically,
Julie would probably want Chris there more than Scout, so we'll
go with that.
 For
this challenge (the description of which, which follows, may actually
refer to the IC), we actually have a detailed description from
TV Guide. The web promo swears this is for immunity, so we'll go
with that for now. See (click to expand) sketch at right for the
overview (thanks, VG). It's a four-stage challenge, with one person
eliminated at each stage. For those of you too timid to click,
here's the text description:
- "Round 1 - 5 person mud crawl"... during which
(gasp!) Scout is eliminated.
- "Round 2 - 4 person pig catching"... during which
(gasp again!) Eliza is eliminated. That leaves Chris, Twila
and Julie for Stage 3.
- "Round 3 - 3 person tam tam puzzle"... during which
(gasp! thrice!) Chris is eliminated.
- "Round 4 (final) - Scale ladders and walk balance beam.
Shoot out three tiles to raise arm and light wok." We see
Julie shooting the slingshot, and Julie and Twila on the balance
beams. We've divided the vidcaps
below by stage. Julie appears to have an initial lead on the balance beam,
and is the only one shown with a slingshot, so we'll still go with a Julie
win here, taking Chris (who finished third) along for the volcano
trip.

| IMMUNITY
CHALLENGE/ Storytelling, memory, collecting flags - Chris wins? |
In
addition to the Super Challenge, there is another challenge visible
in the web promo, with the contestants more full-clothed and non-muddy,
and Probst in
a
blue shirt.
There are once again flag-collecting poles visible, and the contestants appear
to be running around in multiple directions. There's also a partial shot of a
sign that says "It was...". Perhaps a resurrection of the challenge
in which Probst tells a story, after which the contestants have to run to multiple
stations answering questions to retrieve challenge-winning items. (This has previously
been an IC, so it fits). Logically, this should be a challenge tailor-made for
Eliza. But
Ami
hoped
two
episodes
that Chris wouldn't
screw up her plans and "win
the next couple of immunities." So we'll guess that he, in fact, does.

Run,
Scout! Run! |
Well,
okay, Julie's running at least (she'd better). |
What
did you say? A clue! A clue! You see a clue? |
