Very nice FP, as usual.
Not sure why this would favor the light weights since it seems to be a hand strength thing, but in the earlier survivor, two lightweights, Denise and Carter won. Denise was a very tough competitor and very fit as was Carter, so maybe that helped, but it does seem that this challenge does indeed favor lighter weight people.
ETA: Ah. The weight in the bucket is proportional to the weight of the survivor.
And I agree about Katie, Cierra, no chance. And I guess I agree about Hayden and Caleb too, although either or both of those could surprise us. I mean, if Caleb has more of a lumberjack in him (please, this is not the place for that tittering) than just his shirt, he could have the hand strength/endurance to win.
Tyson's bucket is lower than the others in V-cap #009, and although it could be a dream teamers vid-cap, or maybe it’s too early in the contest before the pain has set in for the others, I would have to guess that Tyson didn't make it, in spite of the fact that one would suppose that he would have bicycler's endurance. Well, leg endurance.
ETA: And Ginger makes a good observation about Tyson.
Of Gervase and Monica, well, Gervase at times has shown very little endurance in these challenges, and Monica is probable his better at that.
I'd go with Monica as a guess for IC, at least if and until a more definitive clue comes along.
And for the RI challenge, if they have to crawl down the square channel four times for the boxes, that would put Vytas at a disadvantage, and Tina (as an older person) at a lesser disadvantage.
If the RI challenge requires that they lift one end of that square tube and shake out the boxes, then Tina would probably be the most disadvantaged.
Regardless, the hard part of the RI challenge is the Rubic's cube puzzle. Even so, at this point I'd have to guess that Laura would win this. And this could (somehow) fit in with the maternal aspect of the promo clue, it seems like Cierra’s turning on her Mom was edited to be more dramatic than Katie’s.
