LAST EDITED ON 12-03-15 AT 08:58 AM (EST)First of all, does anyone remember this challenge at all, or is it a new one?
What are they racing to the end for?
First of all, here is the over head view of the challenge, there must be a bit more to it that is not in this picture...
You can see that the first larger platform they come to is supported by 2 horizontal boats that have a platform over the top of them. From that first platform, they then scale down narrow planks to three sets of consecutive smaller floating platforms. You can see Jeremy in the lead here, followed by Spencer....they are leaving the first largest platform supported by boats, going to the planks leading to the 3 consecutive smaller floating platforms...
Jeremy is in first, then Spencer, then Kelley, Keith, Tasha, Kimmi, and last is Abi....
Now, at the very right edge of the first overhead view of the challenge, there are 2 small separate floating platforms with 2 horizontal boats parked at the edge. The DAWS must jump to the floating boats, then jump to the next OCTAGONAL platform...we see Spencer, Keith, Kelley, and Tasha at this spot, we have to assume that Jeremy is in the lead and out of the frame. After the octagonal platform we see there is another boat to scale to another platform.
So, we know they have to run out there and they must have to do something or get something, but here we see Spencer returning to the original platform supported by the boats, and he has nothing with him...
So, is this just a race? Is there a portion of the course that they have to swim across, because we see Tasha calling for help and she looks totally immersed with no platforms around her in deep water? (Sure hope and pray the camera man boat comes to her rescue! Or, will we see Jiffy jump into lifeguard mode!
I suppose they could race to the end, do a puzzle out at the last point, and then race back? What's up with this challenge?
**I just want to add here that NOW is when I think Jeremy can start winning a few IC's. Remember Stephen foreshadowed that...."If Joe wasn't here you would be winning all of those challenges!"
