This is neither here nor there, because I think the decision was fair, but did anyone notice the way the Immunity Challange was shot? (The camera work)

Rotu Beach

Shown in a far distance shot - distress signal bearly visible. The survivors the size of ants. The shot, from one side to another, was probably greater then 150 yrds.

Maraamu Beach

Shown in a relatively tight shot. So tight, that the camera has to pan to keep everyone in the shot. From side to side the shot may have been 50 yrds max.

Now I don't think the decision was unfair, I think Maraamu's signal was clearly better - but it would have been fair to at least show the shots with indentical camera work.

This is kinda like only showing Sarah laying on the American Flag - they all did it, but only show the one. Pretty unfair editing, and kinda unnecessary.

I thought they used binoculars to actually judge.

I noticed it too!!! The Captain of the boat did use binoculars to judge between the two. I guessed (at the time) that they were just showing us shots of the better display. But later on it occurred to me that maybe Maraamu's display made for better TV. They might have gotten similar shots of Rotu, but they weren't as entertaining, so MB only showed us Maraamu.

I agree Nimue and Sea... it's all about the right shot for TV... the boat Captain had the same distance to judge.

Seems to me the way they could have won is without any props. Rotu should have just stripped naked and did jumping jacks on the beach. Bet that captain wouldnt have put his binoculars down and moved on to Maraamu.
