Looks like he's still standing in the apparatus, so I guess he is just yelling to break the monotony? I guess they are pressing out with their forearms to hold the panels, kind of like the horizontal version of the balancing one in Gabon? Must be something else too it? The same thing with your feet, maybe? I wonder if Erinn or Taj manages to come up with an immunity win? We've heard from both of them, following their exile experience, about how they're girly and wouldn't have thought they could pass through this sort of adversity. If it's a challenge that is more about just being determined to keep standing there, not strength-based, maybe Erinn? Is there any possibility Ben doesn't realize this is a must-have for him, and steps out of the challenge? (Where does the martyr part come in?)

Probably JT.

The pain in the feet can be agonizing and possibly Coach injures his foot of ankle on the peg/wood as he drops out. This may be the explanation as to why he is using a cane in post-show pictures. (AND after seeing Coach this season, I can see him using the cane as a "crutch" to explain why he didn't make it to the end... both in this challenge and in the game. I mean come on, he is the "Dragon Slayer" and how can he save face when the only challenge he was able to win was a children's game?)

Posts: 12809 (05/08/09 01:12 PM) Registered user More Recent Posts	Yeah, he's on exile. So I'm unsure what Erinn says that pisses Stephen off, or whatever. Maybe Erinn sends Coach to exile and has some not so nice words?

Maybe because Stephen doesn't want anyone to go to exile besides his allies. So, Erinn sends coach to exile (???) Stephen gets mad because her move might expose the whereabouts of the HII.

There is a visible 2x4 brace on the outside of his yellow panel so they're not holding the panels up. (plus the same panel is shared by yellow and green. if they were standing on something, would they put the panels so close that the survivors could put their entire forearms against the panels? That would take away the balance issue because they'd have enormous balance and they could also use their arms to relieve some of the pressure on their foot/feet. If the purpose was to balance on something wobbly or small, wouldn't they have the sides/panels far away like it was in Guatamala with Rafe/Danni/Steph so you couldn't use the sides for balance. I'm thinking that they either have to brace themselves in between the panels with nothing holding them up but their arms and legs, or the same thing but with a tiny ledge under each foot that they can get a smidgeon of a grip on. If that's the case, i can't see anyone but JT/Coach having any real chance at winning this.Maybe stephen, but i don't see him, Taj or Erinn having the upper body strength to hold themselves up for any period of time. whoever was in the green cubicle looks to be gone.

Posts: 16823 (05/08/09 01:52 PM) Kiss me, I'm Adminish More Recent Posts	and yeah, green looks gone so at the very least we know Coach does not get eliminated first. I have to tell you, do NOT discount Coach from winning this. Even though the other endurance challenge had a somewhat different strength and endurance situation, endurance in it of itself is similar in the concept. Stephen was first out, (Brendan and Joe followed) Taj, Erinn then JT out. Coach then drops b/c only Tyson and Deb were left so we do not know how much he had in him and he looked pretty comfortable.

The commentary of Erinn saying she shouldn't be voted out before coach could have been said pre-IC, thus keeping the option of him winning the IC a possibility.

If whatever she says to piss off Stephen happens before IC, all the other stuff could be before IC as well. I would think Erinn would have a good shot at this, just because she's smaller and probably has small feet as well. If Debbie was still here, I would think she would probably win it.

Posts: 16825 (05/08/09 02:55 PM) Kiss me, I'm Adminish More Recent Posts	^^^ True, I can't count Erinn out either based on the promos.... Unless Coach would win then the targets would be Taj and Erinn; maybe Coach is still pushing for Taj and S/JT don't want that so they are concentrating on Erinn to Coach. JT/S have "played" Coach like a fiddle, didn't JT say that they tell Coach what he wants to hear? Do we know for sure that Stephen is actually referring to Erinn? He said "she" - maybe there is some manipulation involved with Coach here as well. That is just me overthinking but what is interesting is why are S/JT making those comments about "she" to Coach? It sounds like they are almost attempting to work Coach over on who to vote out - why would this have to happen if Coach is next to go? Maybe Coach is still hellbent on getting Taj out which S/JT don't want to happen and they are again feeding him bullshit to lull him yet again? Just mulling things early here

Yup or even the remote chance there's another HI. Erinn could be speaking to Taj pre IC / post RC. She'd be good at this IC with low body weight.

Yeah, the endurance is usually the last challenge of the season, but they had an endurance challenge in Exile Island at the final 6 (if I remember correctly), so this is unprecedented.

Remove this ad I'm just going from memory here, but I think the Fiji players used their arms and hands to help balance themselves and occasionally give their feet a break. They didn't have to "hold up the walls" per se. And in the photo above, it seems that there are several levels of tiny steps that they can use. And didn't they make the steps even smaller part way thru the challenge ? Yau is a very slightly built man and he won this challenge in Fiji. I can very well see Erinn pulling out an immunity win here over the much bigger Coach and JT and Taj and Stephen (Debbie would have possibly won this challenge as well).
