IMMUNITY CHALLENGE: Quest for Fire (Chapera and Mogo Mogo win?)

Our first episode to try and emulate True Dork Times, and what do we get stuck with? 18 castaways! How is this one going to work? I feel like Jessica Simpson trying to figure out Candyland.

From the excellent TV Guide pic found by Snewser we see that the Immunity Idol actually has two parts. And both of those parts can be seen in some form at the Mogo Mogo (Green) and Chapera (Red) tribes.


Rich has the bottom of the Immunity Idol

It's not clear how exactly this dual immunity works, but we know the first challenge is similar to the quest for fire challenges we've seen in previous seasons. And perhaps the first two teams across win immunity. Or maybe the first one gets a reward, too? Eh, who cares about details?

A few pics for now (Click to enlarge)

       

  



Richard gets naked again, ugh! Check out the mysterious missing upper torso next to Rudy.

      

What's hiding underneath at Chapera? Could it be Mr. top Idol? Someone call Simon Cowell!



Saboga's Jenna L, Jerri and Ethan. All-Stars is a lame excuse to reuse old challenges!



Chapera celebrating...after IC? Amber, Rob, & Tom all look happy. (Click for moving pic)  

 

BOOT: Tina.

At least we have a good idea that Saboga  loses the challenge.


Tina, where are you?

Tina is seen in the least amount of pre-show vidcaps. She is also missing from the walk to the Episode 2 challenge (above). Jerri's hat is visible. Rupert, Ethan, Rudy and Jenna L. are present.

Also going against Tina, is the Patagonia spoiler by Colleenlover at SurvivorSucks, pegging her as an early boot. Aussie contestant Jeff Varner, who had a hot boot streak in Marquesas, also gives Tina the kiss of death. (Or maybe he's just bitter about not being picked for ASS?)

Then again, ChillOne's sources have a bull's eye on Ethan as the first boot. Oh wait, his source mysteriously contacts him and says that Ethan goes
second, and Tina is the first boot. This flip-flopping is giving me chills. Just remember, ChillOne's superior information got the Ryan boot wrong in Survivor Amazon.

But hold on, ChillOne might have gotten things right the second time. Snewser -- whose proven track record cannot be denied -- also filp-flopped. His original report said that the first boot is male. But he recently crossed that out.

Tina makes sense. She is a past winner, and both Snewser and ChillOne peg past winners as screwed in this version. She is the weakest woman on her team.

Bye Tina.
