| Survivor:
Samoa post-Episode 2 challenges shown in previews |
Between
the TV Guide Channel preview and a series of Russell H-centric
TV ads, there have been numerous shots of either actual challenge
footage, or props/sets for challenges not appearing in Episode
1. For the most part, we can't tell in which episode they'll
be featured (although there's still time for a challenge board
shot, CBS!), but we'll run through them here.

RC? - Water-based full-contact challenge |

We assume there's some sort of game involved here, presumably
moving objects of some kind toward a goal, while the other tribe
tries to full-contactedly prevent you from doing so. This sort
of challenge has been a recent favorite for the Ep2 RC, appearing
in S15:
China, S16: Micronesia, and S18:
Tocantins. The shots above seem to be the oversaturated
kinds favored by Scott Duncan in the intro, and those shots are
generally from the first two episodes. So we'd expect this challenge
to show up fairly soon.
Update: As noted by Kona at
Sucks, the press photo of
Probst, wading in the water, as probably being from this challenge.
The photo was taken on day 7 of filming, which should be in Ep3.
So this should be the Ep3 RC.

Tilting maze table |
Big yellow ball |
These props are shown in the TV Guide Channel preview show, during
the interviews with production designer Dan Munday and unit manager
Paul Messer. Basically, we see parts from at least three challenges:
(1) Large wicker balls, reminiscent of the S3 Ep3 RC Kelly Goldsmith
Memorial Dungball (and last used in Gabon); (2) A tilting
maze table, just like the one on which Coach won his one and
only individual challenge, prompting his "dragonslayer"
scream in Tocantins; and (3) the columns of white-and-black
painted turning balls (jumbo-sized tic-tac-toe?). Not the most
exciting batch, but there they are.
