| Survivor:
Samoa episode 12 final 8 immunity challenge spoilers/
speculation |
Unclear
(mostly based on John's Ponderosa videos),
but there may be a single day before the next tribal council.
If so there won't be a reward challenge (although there may be
two tribal councils and two ICs). We'll need more info to know
for sure, though. If
there are two ICs, we'll probably repurpose this space to follow
the first one.
Update: The web promo
confirms two ICs and two tribal councils in this episode. There
are two challenges shown: a catapult-based beanbag toss, and
bowling. It's not
obvious which one goes where, but since this one features actual
contestants, and showing participants in the second one would
narrow down the F8 bootee, we'll guess this one comes first.
(It's also first in the web promo, for what that's worth).
As for this challenge, the contestants are
underneath towers with baskets on them. Their goal is to use
a seesaw-type board to flip beanbags into their basket (very
similar to the Ep8 RC "Stompede" that Ethan won in Africa -
luckily for those remaining, they just booted the ex-semipro
soccer player). First to certain number of shots made wins immunity?
Some minor details are apparent in the
(HD) TV version of the web promo.
Four of the towers are shown, And Monica and Mick are both visible
under their respective towers (Monica-white, Mick-lucky Foa Foa
yellow). Someone who looks like either Russell or Jaison may
also be visible off in the distance, beyond ithe blue tower,
and Shambo (or a person-sized flash of purple) could be next
to them. Or we could just be seeing things.
What is clear, however, is that Brett
is nowhere to be seen under his (green) tower. This suggests
there are multiple stages to the challenge.
An obvious way to do that would be to make the contestants retrieve
the beanbag(s) first (perhaps off to the right of the towers,
in the area where Russell and Shambo appear to be). If
so, Mick's (successful?) beanbag flip, shown in the
ads, could even be the winning shot.

 So who wins? Not clear yet, but in the absence
of other info, we'd guess Mick wins immunity. This
would also fit with his "part of me wants to make a big move"
speech, since he might actually feel empowered to do something
with immunity. Also, the tribal council arrival shot in the
ads could be from the first one. In it, Mick doesn't appear to
be carrying his bag, which he'd probably only do if he won immunity,
considering he received a vote at the last tribal council.
