i posted this over at sucks, but no one has responded (intelligently, that is):
When i watched the "show us how it is done" part of the challenge explanation i noticed that six balls rolled up the ramp and when directly into the holes with no misses. it looked like it was a continuous shots, with no noticable cuts in the tape. when i first saw it i was like "whoa, how many times did they shoot that? who is the guy that can get a perfect score?" i looked again and again and i see multiple balls in frame for a continuous shot. did anyone else see it? it looked like there must have been magnet in the balls or something. yet no one is talking about it?

They have a dream team that does the challenges before the survivors do it.

Make sure it works, all that.

I don't know that it matters if they "cheated" when they had someone who was not a contestant but a paid employee who has the job of doing the challenges when the survivors are in camp and can't see it.

They usually don't show a complete failure as a demo for anything, ever.

Even if they did the demo for us back home in a cheating way, certainly the Survivors playing the game for real missed some shots so if they did rig it, they UN-rigged it.

It was not rigged and the dreamteam shot with 6 balls is six balls filmed over each other to make it look as if they are all at the same time. Very easy when the backdrop doesn't change, even easier in this day and age of digital cameras.

And just for the sake of spreading information. The way they would have done it in the early days of film is to start them all in the "done position" then quickly push them out of their holes, reverse the film direction, making it seem as if all have been made easily and in quick succession.

My thought is no one is talking about it because the shots of it came from the dreamteam. Who cares if the dreamteam challenge is rigged.

It was a pretty amazing looking shot though. Had to have been faked, but still, it looked cool, and that they had the imagination to think of doing it at all says something (probably that someone was bored and had a little time to kill).

I did notice, I actually thought it might have been run backwards, all balls in then someone underneath pushing them out. Roll tape. It really didn't seem to be too hard though, Gervase seemed to have a real easy time of it, but then again it didn't involve water.

I should be watched....closely.
