Survivor: Vanuatu Episode 1 Vid Cap Analysis
Preliminary Speculation - More Later
Contributors: BlindFreddy, jessiek
The first Challenge (which is probably a reward-immunity combo) is likely a multi-legged race, in which various parts would favor the ladies (crawling under small places, balance beams) or the men (foot race, rowing) or neither (puzzle).
Survivor: Vanuatu entry aboard the 'Coongoola' with fleet of native boats in background
Survivor: Vanuatu castaways aboard the 'Coongoola' on their way to marooning at tribal locations
Chad Crittenden. And again, is this still aboard the Coongoola getting the Jeff Probst twist talk???
Entry - unloading from the Coongoola. Note the 'yellow' (buff-like headband on the 'native' and the yellow armband. Do the tribes depart the Coongoola via color coded native 'greeter boats'?)
Episode 1- RC/IC walkup - Yasur Tribe
9 females visible
Episode 1- RC/IC walkup - Lopevi Tribe
9 males visible
Immunity Idol shown by Jeff Probst to both tribes before first challenge
Challenge overview. Raised beam crawl (2 beams, red and yellow) over suspended cargo net
Cast inspection of challenge course. Note color coded (red) puzzle or maze box (guide ball or coconut thru a maze similar to a Survivor Marquesas challenge?)
Cast inspection of beam crawl. Note that cast still appears to be clean
Jeff Probst: "ready...Go!" (at mud crawl obstacle). Beginning of challenge.
Challenge start...run to mud crawl segment
Men at left, women at right, crawling under bamboo structure
Coconut maze shown after bamboo crawl
Travis trying to walk the beam
Travis losing balance?
2 Beam obstacles? - Julie on the beam and we can see from how far about (apart) her thighs are, that the beam is about 3 inches?
And here, is a male, John P? on a similar beam as Julie, and the width of the beam is much less than the width of his chest:
Yellow fire cauldron visible in background. Lighting cauldron could possibly be last element of challenge.
3- Possible Order of obstacles in Challenge
Bamboo Crawl, Coconut Maze, Ramp, Balance Beam, Light Fire Cauldron
More Speculation Updated Soon as Promos Become Available
4- Other Spoilers
I - From Vanuatu Daily Post: here
July 10 - A cute female contestant has been voted off the island. Mele Cascades was closed for a 'private' function to film a survivors challenge 'reward' on Thursday 8th. The winning contestants had a full-on meal supplied to them near the waterfall in which they were swimming with nobody to bother them. The next challenge is being stage today in a pig pen. Presumably contestants have to find something racing around in a dirty smelly pig pen with 'ferocious' wild pigs in order to win a live pig to eat - the last time a pig was killed on Survivors it caused an uproar with animal rights groups. Wonder if they got some film footage of the magnitude 5.7 earthquake that was centered close to Lelepa and Moso, where Survivors are filming on Thursday morning?? July 12 - Will the next challenge be on Ambrym? A helicopter departed this morning for the island of Ambrym; the location of Vanuatu's most spectacular, and active volcano. Two pilots on board; one local and one from the survivor team being shown the way? - stay tuned........
II - According to a recent USA Today hereinterview dated June 14th, Jeff Probst described some contestants as follows:
i)a colorful guy who would call himself a redneck
ii)super-cute girls who appear to be fighters
iii)a bunch of cocky guys
iv)someone "inspirational" who Probst promised will "make you realize you can do anything you put your mind to."
III - A Denver Post article herepublished Thursday, June 17 reports that "a Denverite just had a going-away party before he/she left to compete in "Survivor 9 - Vanuatu." Filmed in the former New Hebrides Islands, it will air in the fall
5- Filming Spoilers
Start Date: at this time our best guess is that filming starts at earliest on Monday June 21, (based upon the USA Today article dated June 14th which reports that "In one week, he takes off for Vanuatu (near Fiji in the Pacific) to test a new set of contestants".) Taking into account that contestants have one or two rest days and several survival orientation days after arriving on location and Probst is mostly likely on location several days to a week before filming begins then the start date is most likely the following week, Monday June 28. calendar6- Boot Spoilers
