Samoa episode 3 detailed reward challenge spoilers/
speculation |
As
noted by Kona at
Sucks, the press photo of
Probst, wading in the water, matches this challenge. The photo
was taken on day 7 of filming, which should be the first day of Ep3. So this
should be the Ep3 RC.

From the web
promo, the layout to the challenge
is clear. Each tribe has four crates tethered in the water.
They're brought back to shore, presumably to make a puzzle
- there are structures on the beach that we think the colored
panels on the crates probably slide into. But there are
also people waiting in the shallow water, trying to prevent
the opposing tribe's people from getting out to the crates.
Shown competing are, for Foa Foa: Jaison,
Mick, Natalie, Liz (getting crates), and Ashley and Ben
(tacklers). For Galu, we see Dave, John, Monica and
Laura (crates), along with Kelly and Russell S (tackling).
There may be some rotation in the roles, but the remaining
people seem to be sitting out.

 So who wins? First, a bit from TV Guide: "During
the reward challenge, the chief of one tribe makes a controversial
decision that lands him in hot water back at camp." This is in
line with a Jeff Probst story from his EW
interview with Dalton
Ross: "Do you want comfort and
pillows, things like that, or do you want a tarp? And it plays
out. Very interesting who they pick, very interesting what happens
to the leaders, and just the whole notion of whether a leader
can survive in this game, coming into it with that target on
their back."
This is important, because as the PIP
preview from 9/26 shows
(above), Galu (which means chief Russell S) chooses what appears
to be bedding, instead of a tarp. Could be important, since it's
also supposed to rain for about a week straight fairly soon:
