What would be the purpose of the thinner rope on the left that appears to lead to a basket and not a bag?

A throw rope?


I dunno, what little I can see of hair and clothes looks the same in both of them, but it's not much to go on. Notably Erinn has her glasses in both, which I don't think she has been wearing in challenges, but she has them in the press photo, too, so maybe she switched from contacts for some reason. She has her hair down in both, which doesn't seem all that smart for spinning.

Running JT and Brendan have some sort of little harness holding the rope, and the spinning people have little cuffs maybe connected by a rope, which they don't have in the picture of the whole tribe pulling. Maybe they ripped them off when they got to the whole tribe pulling station, or maybe it is too different rope pulling challenges.

Sierra is sitting on a little spool, with rope wrapped around it, which is on top of or in the middle of a bigger spool. There seems to be a different spool off to our left. There is a taunt rope leading off to our left. On the right of Sierra's spool there is a little ?clip and a larger ?pully?

I guess I could believe you could lose a tooth doing this. It's sorta like those rusty metal go-rounds they used to have mounted in jagged concrete in playgrounds back before kids got all wussy and had to have everything plastic and wood mulch.

The short bar in front of the all-tribe pulling makes me think they are not pulling against each other. If someone was hauling on you, and you stumbled and got your foot hooked under that thing, it could be seriously bad. Much worse challenge design than the classic "Nah, don't worry about smoothing that pointy stick".

I'm hoping that after the tribes unwind all of their members to help pull, there's on last spinning platform with Probst standing on it. Whoever can wind him up in their direction wins.
