seems to me still more like they're hauling something and given the bar behind them, they may have to get it to there too

So, it may be a "winner take all, reel in the goodies attached to the tug-of-war rope" and Jalapao seems to be winning reward. ETA: A bath tub or shower stall and bathing supplies would be a most-welcomed reward in the heat they are suffering in.

I really hope this is more than just "Pull some stuff over to yourselves", I'm just kind of baffled as to what else there is. I want more info,
dang it!

Are we sure this isn't immunity?
This challenge: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RrKVvI7eS4 seems to fit the "Dizziness" thing more. |

That's definitely the dizness part, but I think that is somehow part of the same challenge. See Joe and Brendan running with the rope to make Erinn, ?Tyson
and Sierra spin? Something like you have to unspool all your people, as soon as one person is unspooled they can help pull. Some sort of penalty if they fly
off.

I am going to stock some dramamine before watching that.
That "skinner" rope we saw in the still picture with sandbags could be the one the guys run out with.

I see ropes attached to wrist cuffs on the spinners.

Birdlady, I believe that is Debbie spinning, not Tyson.

When did Erinn get glasses? |

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.

I am trying to puzzle out the two different sized ropes as well. (unless the thinner one is just a boundary, which I doubt.) So far, I am guessing that all
of one team's players may be attached to a single one sized rope, taking turns, as you suggested bird lady, getting dizzied. Somehow the rope with the
players all spaced out and attached to it allows one player to "complete their spin turn", unhitch and to help pull. The other size rope is for the
apparatus spin drum.

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.

This isn't the tooth challenge. They just aired a new promo which shows the tribes competing in a lacrosse challenge (like they did in Fiji) and it shows
that JT is the one who looses a tooth while making a score for Jalapao.

I think this is how the challenge will work.
5 people will be attached to a spinning thing while 1 person pulls the cable. Once a person is not spinning anymore, he/she could unclip and help pulling the cable and so on and so on until all done, then they must pull something heavy presumably until finish line. though I don't know what's in the bag |

On TAR I saw a preview where it looked like everyone took off from a start by the spindle thing. They were carrying the rope. Although I only saw Sierra spinning wildly, there may have been others attached to the spindle before that. Anyway, I think the "heavy" object they are trying to pull over the line is the last person who is on the spindle. The bags people are talking about may be the "reward" |

why the colored bar behind them that's higher than the bar they're braced against?

I agree with Hagiz; this is a two part challenge. It also appears that in the final part they may be pulling against each other. It looks like Tyson and
Brendan are trying not to get pulled. Tyson's position with two feet on the bar wouldn't be very efficient for trying to pull something in. They both
look defensive. Coach doesn't seem to be doing anything. Timbera is almost out of rope and Jalapao has reeled in a ton of rope and are going strong.
Jalapao must win reward.

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. |
