I think it's not just building a pyramid, it's a puzzle. The words "Jalapao" and whatever else have to match up.

And after looking again, I don't think the fire pit is as deep as the pseudo fire pit at Timbira (although now that the first hii is out of play (only good for one TC) maybe they turned it into a real fire pit). I'm leaning toward her being at Exile when she's high fiving whoever she's high fiving (and for the record, I'm thinking it is NOT Brendan). ETA: I should say something about this challenge. In some ways it doesn't seem that difficult, few pieces, big, not very tricky puzzle if all you have to do is spell out your tribe. Is there more too it? Build a structure then do something else?

I must be missing something. The tribe-jumping is only available to the one who actually picked the right urn, correct? It's too early to know if Taj would be able to jump yet.

The clue did say it was up to the recipient to decide whether to "share" the clue or not. I think the opportunity to switch teams might be the same. Brendan chose not to share that possibility with Taj, at least she seemed not to be aware of the possibility. I am not sure tribe-jumping is only available to the winner of the urn clue pick.

Posts: 2763 (02/20/09 06:10 PM) Registered user More Recent Posts	Because Jalapao is the only tribe shown means they win the challenge? What is the logic behind that?

Posts: 3206 (02/20/09 06:15 PM) Registered User More Recent Posts	Well they are either extremely ahead or extremely behind in this challenge. It IS odd how they've only shown Jalapao in BOTH challenges though, isn't it?

Posts: 2766 (02/20/09 07:25 PM) Registered user More Recent Posts	Yeah, I would think if they showed only one tribe that would suggest that they actually lose the IC and have to go to TC. The tribe that goes to TC is shown more, so it would makes sense for them to show them on the preview, as that is what we would see during the episode.

I think that speaks of the clue to the hii only. Tribe-jumping is probably reserved for the castaway who actually picked the urn with that note.

I don't know why the other person couldn't just hand the note over if they thought it was in their best interest. They can pass Hidden Idols I don't know why they couldn't pass a note. If this is a puzzle as it appears more than likely this is IC.

So, if Brendan didn't mention that option this time and Taj gets it next time, won't there be a trust issue? ETA: Okay, so Taj is still RED in both challenges. Did she still not get the right EGG? Or could be that secret alliance of 4 is going to plant their feet for now? Strange, I thought after the way Taj talked about her situation with her mates, the one thing she won't hesitate would be to become a turncoat. Last Edited By: ChynS 02/21/09 12:00 PM.

I doubt it though. It's probably a two part challenge, first the strength cube puzzle and then another puzzle, but probably more mentally based.

That makes sense because Stephen as resident geek is probably seen as a good problem solver and Sandy was not too shabby in figuring out where to put the puzzleish stairs in the first challenge.
