"EP8 Immunity Challenge" |
LAST EDITED ON 11-01-04 AT 01:10 AM (EST)In an effort to focus the discussion of the Immunity Challenge, I have summarized what we have speculated so far and tried to pull it together in one location: (Thanks to SFever and the Mess Hall for the vidcaps) THE CHALLENGE: Lopevi and Yasur arrive for the IC. Rory is holding the Immunity Idol. Jeff takes back the Immunity Idol… …and tells the tribes to drop their buffs. He goes on to explain that “one person will win Immunity”, after hanging the Immunity Necklace on the Immunity Idol. The contestants start on the beach, race out into the water… …and swim out to structures in the water.
They must then climb out of the water… …and up onto a platform.
Each platform is color coded a different color and appears to have a pole holding several flags of the same color. The contestants retrieve the flags and jump back into the water… …and race back to shore…
…where the insert the flags into a color coded flag holder. THE FINALISTS:
While we know everyone competes in the Individual Immunity Challenge, not everyone is shown in the vidcaps and we might speculate that there is some kind of a mechanism whereby the field is narrowed down to a smaller group that competes in the final heat or phase of the challenge. Sarge and Leann(?) or Twila(?)
Julie (or Leann?)
Chris, Sarge, Ami, Twila, Rory While at least six people are shown competing it would make sense that Scout, Eliza, Leann, Julie and Chad would be those most likely to be eliminated in the first heat or phase of this challenge. The vidcaps feature those five who are strongest. The immunity challenge winner will most likely be one of those five… Chris, Sarge, Ami, Twila or Rory. THE COLORS:
This Immunity Challenge involves color coded elements. The platforms, ladders, flags and flag holders at the finish are different colors. It appears that each contestant has their own color and must retrieve the flags from a tower in the water and return them to a flag holder back on the beach in order to win… Identifying the colors each contestant is seen carrying may help solve the challenge…. Rory with a white flag in his hand…white tower in the background.
Chris with a yellow flag…jumping from the yellow tower. Ami climbing a dark-green tower and jumping with a dark-green flag. Twila climbing a purple(?) tower. Two purple flags in their holder back on the beach. At first glance it looks like each contestant has their own color, but a few of the vidcaps raise a few questions… Here we see Sarge with a light-green flag approaching a yellow flag holder back on the beach. Is his color a different shade of green than Ami's? Why is he approaching the yellow flag holder? Is it just camera angle?
The simple answer is that his color is light-green (while Ami’s is dark-green) and while it appears that he is approaching the yellow flag holder, it only appears that way because of telephoto lenses visually compress distance. His light-green flag holder is probably right next to Chris’s yellow flag holder, just out of the frame. This flag holder has two flags in place…are these Twila’s purple(?) or is this another color? Red(?) If these are red, whose are they?
Again, the simple explanation is that these two flags are Twila’s purple(?) Conclusion...
Chris: Yellow Ami: Dark-Green Sarge: Light-Green Twila: Purple Rory: White HOW MANY FLAGS? The object of this challenge has something to do with collecting flags. The vidcaps show at least two (or more) of several of the colors…
Two green flags…one in Ami’s hand and a second flag still on the pole. Has she already retrieved others?
Two green flags…Ami returning to the beach with one green flag in her hand and at least one green flag already in the flag holder.
Two purple(?) or Red(?) flags…already in the holder while Chris jumps into the water in the background; stil competing. This suggests that there are at least three flags required to win.
Chris with a yellow flag in his hand behind someone with a green flag. Sarge(?) or Ami(?) We can conclude that there are least three flags that each contestant needs to retrieve and place in their color coded flag holder back on the beach.
The spacing of the holes in the holders appears to allow for about three flags…More than three would probably be too exhausting.
It appears that there is only one hole to Ami’s right of the flag already in place in the holder. This appears to be either her second or final Flag. WHO WINS?
The Merge IC is traditionally an endurance challenge. The nature of this challenge appears to be one of pure physical endurance. The best swimmer, in the best aerobic condition, should win… The previews that show the immunity challenge include two curious confessionals… The IC could come down to a close battle between Ami and Chris… unless... IMMUNITY NECKLACE?
The hoop shaped Immunity necklace hanging on the Immunity Idol…
The tribes merge at the IC and afterwards return to a new merge camp… Here we see Eliza, Chris and Sarge at some point after the IC, in their new camp. Sarge is holding a cup of yasur coffee in one hand and a small hoop shaped object in his other hand? Is he holding the Immunity necklace?

1. "RE: EP8 Immunity Challenge" |
KB, I've been looking at that picture of Sarge with the hoop object in his hand.I went back through my TIVO collection to double check what the survivors normally wear to tribal council. Sure enough, Sarge wears his swim trunks and red shirt, Chris wears his tan pants and red shirt, and Eliza wears her grey top and long pants. The lighting also looks like dusk is approaching. I feel this shot may very well be the new merged tribe preparing to leave for TC. Not sure if this helps, but I inserted the only shot available of the top part of the immunity necklace next to the object in Sarge's hand. Sure looks to me like it may be the necklace, and since I had thought Ami won from the promo pics, this throws a kink in that scenario. Sylvester (just call me CAT)

Thanks for putting this all together KB, excellent job!I believe that Sarge is carrying the II, and it does appear to be that they are getting ready to head to tribal council. I blew up just the portion of what Sarge is carrying, sure looks like the necklace to me. 2004 A S S Trivia Champ

6. "Ami wins IC?" |
Great thread, KB!But, I'm going to respectfully disagree with your conclusion Since TDT and MESS copied your observation that Sarge is holding the II, it's been disected at MESS. When compared to the II John K was wearing earlier, it looks different to me. So, back to your great sequence. > >The spacing of the holes in the holders appears to allow for about three flags…More than three would probably be too exhausting. I agree - note, it would seem logical to start putting in the flags -seen from the ocean where the castaways are coming from- from LEFT to RIGHT. (Which is from right to left as we see the vidcaps.) > >It appears that there is only one hole to Ami’s right of the flag already in place in the holder. This appears to be either her second or final Flag. With the above logic, this would have to be the hole for Ami's final flag. She seems very focused and very close to wrap this up. I didn't see anybody this close to finishing. Now, there are no guarantees, as this could simply be an Ami shot from an earlier round, if there are rounds as you suggested. However, Ami winning this makes sense from a "strength" perspective. And I certainly expect her to be around in ep9 "Gender Wars ... And It's Gettin' Ugly." Note the "And It's Getting' Ugly" part which is often left out - but I think quite relevant for an Ami presence in ep9. forehead

The loop doens't seem to be a naturally hanging loop of fabric or whatever, it seems to be a stiff circle. The blowup is fuzzy, but it does seem as if he holding a stiff circle of something, likely, I think, to be the I Necklace. Along with something else, possibly a canteen.

Sarge is not holding the II at camp...if you compare it to what JK was wearing and vidcap 31 the back portion (that is unadorned ) of the II is not as large as the metal handle Sarge is holding....back to looking at the challenge caps, etc. to try to decide on the IC winner...and for me I will use the words of the great Navy survivor of S1 as my choice right now:"I dunno" Courtesy of the Amazing Slice & Dice Chop Shop 2004

24. "I don't know" |
"So if Ami wins immunity, forehead, who do you think the men would target instead? It would have to be someone they think that at least Twila, if not Julie also, would be okay voting against."BR: I could say that RL prevented me from coming up with an answer here, but the truth is I really have a hard time figuring this out. I'm tempted to think Chris/Chad/Sarge/Rory/Twila will vote together. Rory is done with Yasur. Twila seems much happier with Lopevi. Chris et al. should realize that they need at least Twila and Rory's votes. Chris should also realize that 5 against 5 is too risky. Where to get a 6th vote? Julie? To vote for whom? I think Bebo is right in assessing Scout and Eliza to be safe. So, IF Ami does win IC, Leann would be the only target left. Leann would be a strange boot story wise. (Although it would certainly put Ami in Gender War mood.) Why this picture of Twila and Leann? Is Twila getting Leann on board for a Julie boot? Big assumption here would be for Twila to become a very serious player. Twila tells Leann that the guys would entertain voting for Julie - if the women go along, then Twila promises Leann to switch back to the female majority 5 vs 4 after a Julie boot. Iffy. So, which one of my assumption is wrong? Ami wins IC? Rory and/or Twila voting with Chris et al.? I don't know. forehead

26. "Hmm, Leann..." |
"I've been mulling over a Leann boot too, forehead. Ami is #1 on Rory's hit list, but who is #2? Leann? or Eliza?'BR, this idea is getting interesting to explore. "On the Insider Rory talks to Ami about wanting to be in an alliance with Ami and Leann. It doesn't seem like Leann was there because Ami does all the talking, but Rory knows that they are very tight. If Ami won the IC, voting out Leann would be a way to get Ami angry." Yes, Rory wanted in with both Ami & Leann, and got rejected by both. Yes again, Ami would get very angry. "...And then there's that cap of Leann with Twila, followed by that snake that keeps stalking Twila..." Good point, I forgot about the snake. To add some more fuel on the fire: From KB's confessional count: ..............EP1….EP2….EP3….EP4….EP5….EP6….EP7….TOTAL Leeann…..….3.…….1.……..1….…2..……1……...2…….0………10 http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/DCForumID2/5475.shtml Leann was hidden as much as possible - ofcourse MB had to show her somewhat in the ep7 reward. And Leann was quite present in the previews (both post ep7 and web). Leann would also make for a great surprise boot... forehead

28. "RE: Ami wins IC?" |
Hi Brownroach! Who indeed would the men target?My thoughts on Rory and Eliza: Rory saw Eliza as weak and worthless to the tribe. His reasoning for Eliza to go before him was that the tribe should keep the strong contributor regardless of gender. I think his anti-Eliza stance was all about who is worthy to be preserved prior to merge. With merge on, who cares about worthy? It's all about threats, so Eliza goes to back burner. He would target Ami, clearly, and advise the men to target her, not that they would need convincing. But if she's immune: I think Rory would advise the men to go after Leann or possibly the Scoutmaster, but there may not be the votes from both Twila and Julie. Also, Rory won't be calling the shots--rather providing info on Yasur pecking order so the others can decide. The Lopevi men won't see any of the other three remaining new Yasur women as big threats. I think they would target Julie, the seductress they know, who makes too many pacts. All those not on TV have only themselves to blame ~ Jackson Browne

10. "RE: EP8 Immunity Challenge" |
All this analysis is very good. However, I have a question. How does the picture of Leann and Twila sitting together while Leann paints Twila fit into all this? Okay, RC is played as tribes; then just before IC, they merge. Usually body painting is somthing that's done in relationship to a challenge or as a method for new tribal bonding. If they all go to one camp after the IC, why would they be doing body painting at that point? I don't see why they would paint themselves up to go to Tribal Counsel.

17. "RE: EP8 Immunity Challenge" |
I am going to say Maybe Julie wins it we have seen her kick all the girls asses in swimming challenges in the past epiosdes. Or maybe Sarge does win and his "romance" with Julie and he tries to be nice and gives her the neclace to save her becuase even though she might not go now she was teh original pick, or maybe there is a internal conflict in this episode should he shock everyone and give it to her or not? But I think Julie wins it and Ami goes bye bye having all the guys votes and Eliza and Julie who both if they play it right can choose who they want out every time by flip flopping between guys and gals.
