Take a look at these caps I took from the preview at cbs.com
This appears to be Episode 3 IC- The teams are pushing a huge ball. Yellow Ball for Boran - Red ball for Samburu.
Take a look at the last 2 Pics- that is the Red ball that rolls over Mamakim & Kelly. The way I look at it- either team could get disqualified for it . Samburu for rolling it on them on purpose - or Boran for getting in their way...may be an opportunity of MB to even thengs up a bit??

Yikes that looks scary! And probably hard to control, hence the "mowdown". Hmmm... Is it Thursday yet?

my husband says the game is probably called SurvivorBowling: Bowling for Idiots (or lets see how many people we can knock down that cant figure out how to light a fire and dump out good water)

Donut, hehehehe

Judy, something to think about. I'm going to stick with Sambura winning IC again though, because if the ladies get ran over by the ball because they got in the way... oh well.

I can't see MB using this to even things up... or would he? But I could see Kelly and MamaKim doing something like this because at this point the Boran Tribe need a win soon, or else they will become extinct.

do you think that CBS is trying to make it look like Sumburu is winning by running over Boran, so they can make it more suspenseful and surprise us with Boran winning? I didnt see the clip- did they indicate if it was an immunity or a luxury challenge?

I am assuming it is for Immunity since the other preview showed what appears to be the Reward Challene. It was the preview that shows BOran 'stripped down" when you take stills of that preview- you can see that they are stripped down because they are spelling something out on the sand- Like the SOS challenges they have had in S1 & S2. SInce that is kind of a subjective challenge to judge - I am thinking it wouldn't be for Immunity.
Also the other 2 times they did a similiar spelling out challenge it was for reward too.

I agree Judy the I couldn't believe they were doing a subjective challenge for immunity. But it wasn't even close. Boran blew Samburu away.

I'm too lazy to watch the tape again, but I swear Jeff told Samburu when they picked two people to sit out the reward challenge, he said they would have to pick two different people to sit out the immunity challenge. But then when the immunity challenge came along, all the tribe members were making the SOS signal. What am I missing here?

I think two did sit out. Editing omitted the discussion, I assume. I did not see Carl.

I liked the challenge. They did it on Survivor I too. In fact, I cannot think of another challenge that would be as fair. It did not require physical prowess, strength or superior intellect. Common sense and creativity, the only requirement.

On the Early Show, Carl said that he and Teresa (or was it Linda?) sat out the signal contest. They were not allowed to have any connection at all with it - they could not participate in the building, the actual signalling or even contribute suggestions.

I wondered how that worked Crazydog. Personally I don't think anyone should have to sit out. Part of losing immunity should be knowing your tribe is shorthanded. They don't seem consistent on it. Sometimes they have someone do a challenge twice like Lex with the blood and sometimes they have someone sit out.

I agree, Joan. Samburu should have gotten to work with all 8 instead of 6. That's the whole point - less people equals more food and water but less manpower. I can't remember exactly in Survivor I, but I had thought the signal challenge there was for a reward, not immunity. Someone else in another thread said they were surprised that the immunity challenge was so subjective. You have to admit, Boran's signal was clearly better, but I have the feeling that if it came down to them being pretty equal, MB and company would definitely have given it to Boran. [BTW, could ANYONE understand what the "drop expert" was saying? He might as well have been speaking Gaelic.]

Remember in Survivor 2, for the Maze Challenge, didn't one team have an extra person and end up losing? And didn't one of the losing team members say something about how it was unfair because it was much more difficult to round up 7 people instead of 6, or something like that? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Actually, Crazydog, I believe he was speaking in mandarin chinese. I didn't catch a word of it.

I agree about the subjectivity of the challenge- especially when it was for immunity. Sheesh. They both said SOS and you remember the eye of the beholder thing. If Boran hadn't had the paints, it would have been tougher to determine, then what? I don't see it as fair at all. At least Boran is acting like they have half a brain- unlike Samburu acting like they're in a sorority rush week. And they don't show any signs of changing soon. Silas is a big disappointment in my book. I was rooting for him to win- no more.

He was a bit hard to understand but definitely speaking English and not too bad that I couldn't understand everything he said. He basically said that the SOS of Sambura tribe was standard signal for help but that because they used the sticks and made it around the O shape of the fence that it looked like much of the rest of the land there and was not eyecatching. OTOH, the use of colors and the movement of the Boran tribe along with the distress signal was eyecatching. I think based on his explanation of why he chose Boran that it was fair and that it the right choice.

I remember hearing the guy say that another deciding factor was that Boran made their distress signal out in a wide open area and because it was structured smaller it didn't look natural in the landscape.

Smileeys, I know it was English, I was being facetious. :) :) :) It was just a little difficult for me to understand, I kept wishing that put up subtitles (kinda like they did for BB2 when they were trying to whisper) when it's hard to hear. Overall, I agreed, when I saw Samburu's signal, it kind of looked like part of the landscape. DEfinitely the right choice.

Yep, Kep24, he said that, too.

Crazydog, I didn't think you really thought he was speaking Greek but he was hard to understand so I wrote the little summary of what he said for you or for anyone else who couldn't understand him.

Actually, I think it was the feather in the butt that won it for Boran.

Well, we certainly saw a whole new side of Tom! I like him a lot better - not attracted to him, you understand - just like him better!
