If someone can get vidcaps from Probst's preview (or just has good eyes and a big screen, probably), there is a brief shot of the start of the slip n slide, which I think shows everyone. Right around 50 seconds in

Meh, here's a screen cap but it's really dark and blurry at that particular point. It won't help much in identifying who's playing or not, but it does show more things about the challenge. They are definately lubing up with stuff...

Can we read any meaning into Probst's closing words "If Fang has any luck at all"? He opens the preview by saying "They did it to...

I think those are the three sit outs for the pole pull, which means they have to complete in the slip n slide.

I see Ace and...

So who's sitting out for the Slip and Slide?

Would like to see a good picture of the pole Grab from Jeff's blog. Looks like a good full field shot. Gives you an idea of how far they have to drag someone. As the runner head down to the poles you can see people standing around behind them. Looks like some kind of framing down there. I swear that is GC and Susie coming down to grab on Ace or bob. With Charlie and Marcus going for Dan. I wish I had slow motion for the blogs.

Don't mind all the language, I just copied and pasted what I posted on my site.

This appears to be the same challenge as we saw in Cook Islands. Whereas all players held onto poles at the same time in CI, we believe that the tribes will compete in heats. Each tribe will select who is holding onto a pole within each heat, and they will also decide who will be pulling them off as well. The first tribe to score 2 or more...

Thanks anyhow for posting!

I guess this confirms that GC and Matty are pulling people off, and Ace is one of the people holding on.

I doeno. Maybe Wezzie is just fond of lubing up with Wesson oil. ;)

BJ: "No way! The slip and slide challenge was a classic. Carry on ... "

For a second there I thought the classic was BJ ;)

On being lubed up: Wouldn't just being wet help propel one down a water slide, like they do at water parks? Would oil help any more?

If Fang does indeed win Reward it looks like Dan was the MVP since it seems everyone else is out of the challenges besides him and two Kota members (Charlie and someone).

I like the idea of it being a counterweight etc birdlady. I'm just not sure about hanging the bags up for the simple reason that even if Ken climbed on that table, i don't think he could reach high enough to hang the bags up. Why have them so far out of reach if they're just counterweights? More likely, whatever they do, brings the bag down to them.

I do think that the painted boards on either side of them look to be a measuring line. Once whatever they have to do...

I'm thinking they went out and got those yellow and red bags, and brought them back to hang them up.

I guess it could just be a weight. The little shelf thing raises up, and with enough weights, whatever Bob and Ken are supposed to do becomes accessible to them.

Is the yellow one really hanging kinda lower, or it just looks that way because our angle is different?

Why are they sliding down if the puzzle bags are behind them? (Or do they hang 'em up when they grab a bag??)

Time for fresh challenges in a new locale? Not! It's the yank'em, drag'em, rock'em sock'em challenge again. If we spot another challenge. We'll make another thread meanwhile start here.

Crystal looks like she's got a live one, meanwhile Bob's attempting to work over Matty .

It's great for the CBS Blurmaster if...
