| Zombies
on fire: Two tribes, circa Ep2 or beyond |

Zach
Jensen - Art Director: "This is the, uh,
skull of, um, some ten-foot-tall zombies. They're the
hero prop of one of the challenges, one of the first
challenges. They start out in the water, and they're,
they're in boats. The main goal of the challenge is to
transport these skulls back onto the zombies, and uh,
then light them on fire."
TDT Analysis: Note that the skull Zach is holding
is wearing a purple (Casaya) buff, and that the one shown
(on fire, no less) in the preview from the S11 finale was
wearing an orange (La Mina) one. From this, it seems likely
that this challenge takes place after the reduction to
two tribes, scheduled for Ep2. So it could take place as
early as the Ep2 RC. Although with the fire component of
the challenge, it might be better aesthetically suited
for an IC. Not that Survivor is terribly concerned with
aesthetics, of course.

Zach Jensen - Art Director: "These boats
are actually part of a challenge. They've got a glass bottom,
we made these boats in here, some of the lads knocked [them]
together. So yeah, it's to do with the searching for skeletons,
in the, in coffins underwater, and transporting them to
their new home in tombs on the, on the island."
- (Challenge testing clip) Danni Boatwright: "Challenge
producer John Kirhoffer gave us an exclusive peek as a
future challenge was tested, with Survivor production staff
going head-to-head against a group of journalists, including
TV Guide's Shawna Malcom."
Dalton Ross's group: "One-two-three-team!"
[Kirhoffer's (non-journalist) team reaches the beach first,
dropping a bag of "bones" on the sand].
Shawna Malcom (after losing): "Rematch! Rematch!"
TDT Analysis: There are only five journalists,
and once the boats are in the water, it looks like
the challenge is being run with five people on each
tribe (again, Casaya and La Mina are the two tribes
competing). From the numbers, the earliest this could
come (from a pre-Ep1 perspective), in theory, would be
Ep4, at which point it's theoretically possible one
tribe could have an 8-5 advantage. The latest it could
come, again in theory, would be at the merge episode,
if both tribes were tied 5-5. But it seems more likely
it would be run soon after one tribe gets pared down
to five players.
