LAST EDITED ON 09-03-13 AT 03:54 PM (EST)These first three caps are of the dream-teamers playing in the first Redemption Island Challenge.
Some notes:
There are 3 survivors for the first RI Challenge (and probably remain at 3 until merge-time)
The challenge is a re-play of a challenge done during OneWorld.
For this challenge the players would use metal rods to lift and guide wooden spools through a metal maze. Once the spool was through the maze, they’d place the spool on top of the maze. They’d then get another spool and do it again. First survivor to have 10 spools piled up (and holds for a count of three) is the winner of a clue to the HI which needs to be passed on to a survivor of their choice, on either of the tribes. The 2nd player to accomplish the goal will be safe but remain at RI, the player whom didn't finish will have their buff torched.
Looking through some of the promo caps I noticed this cap of Marissa, where she seems to be manipulating the "metal rod" which is used to move the spools through the metal maze.
(not to mention a cheering Gervase. Probably from the first IC.)
So, in conclusion...
2 players are "booted" prior to the first challenge and are sent to RI.
The remaining tribe-members participate in the first Immunity Challenge, which the returnees win, sending the newbs to TC.
The newbs vote out Marissa and she is sent to participate in the first RI Challenge.
