Thanks for bringing this challenge that has been run previously back to our attention, OFG. I found it very helpful. I distinctly remember that Rob was great at this challenge. Amber was as well.

I think you may have something with the standing and siitting. FWIW, I think that Ashley and Rooster are clearly sitting when Phillip is seen. Regarding Phillip with this challenge, I wouldn't be so quick to count him out. He's a skater, and they have good balance and foot work, imo. To me, it looks like Nat will be out, and Phillip is looking well balanced. I don't know.

I wouldn't discount Rob either. He's a scrambler, and is very scrappy with his feet, he's got sneaks and Grant has those espadrills. I would think that the shorter girls, with their lower center of gravity would have a better chance at this as well. I would discount Rooster, Steve, the poor lonely Zaps, out of this challenge.

Regarding the picture of Jiffy and Andrea's hair.

I like OFG's spec that the losers go and sit on the bench...here are the ones that are seen sitting when Jiffy makes the toss....

I would think since this picture takes place when they are on the long bench, while Andrea is on the short bench, that it is toward the very end of the challenge...Nat's hair is down, so, she could have taken it down, while sitting on the bench waiting for the challenge to proceed. Or, it is in the beginning, pre-challenge. If it's pre-challenge than all of this spec is carp. I don't think it's pre-challenge, because usually the tribe comes in, stands on a mat, while Jiffy explains the challenge. Then they get in position. To me, it's more likely that the long bench sitters have already been eliminated.

Now here is the challenge area...

I think that Rob and Grant are an early match, we can see Andrea, Rooster, and Steve standing in the background. They have not been eliminated yet.

Note the two benches, and the covered reward food, most likely, in between the benches. Jiffy most likely calls the challenge on the pool deck sidewalk next to the pool...but, notice there is one short bench on the right side, and the bench on the left appears much longer....could eliminated players go to the long bench, while players that move on, wait on the small bench?

Note the orange flag behind Natalie as she sits on the "long" bench next to Steve when he catches the "package"....then look closely at the one where Rob and Grant are competing and we see Steve, Rooster, and Andrea standing, you can see the same orange flag in that picture behind Steve's left shoulder.

Now, if the losers sit on the long bench, could those winners sit on the short bench?
Also note here:

Here is a close up of the short, winners bench. Note that the platform the benches are on is elevated. Also, note that there are 2 posts to the right of the short bench...first, closest to the bench is the flag banner that has Outwit, Outplay, Outlast, then the next post further away has the IN on it....

So, several conclusions...

Speculation: Andrea is clearly sitting on the short bench, and she's located on the far right of it, when Jiffy tosses the "package" over to the losers, Phillip, Steve, Rooster, and Natalie. But, we know that there is plenty of room on the bench to Natalie's left, that we don't see, for others.

So, at the point when Jiffy throws the "package", Andrea is most likely still in it, or is she a loser that is sitting down too?

I think Phillip, Rooster, Steve, and Nat are out. So that leaves, Rob/Grant, Ashley, and Andrea who could still be in it...BUT, we saw Ashley sitting next to Rooster when Phillip was competing...

So, possible winners: Andrea, Rob/Grant

This is all spec...
