Just based on a few seconds of footage, episode 11 of Survivor: Game Changers will have another team reward challenge, but what’s the immunity challenge?

Unsurprisingly, the synopsis of Survivor: Game Changers‘ eleventh episode doesn’t talk much about the challenges that we’ll see in “Reinventing How This Game is Played.” After all, challenges have been part of the show from the beginning. There’s not much you can do to change them up besides making one challenge serve as both reward and immunity, and the show’s already done that. But you’ll want to keep that synopsis in mind while you watch the latest promo for the show:

But first, let’s talk challenges. Alas, the preview doesn’t show much. As of this writing, we also don’t have photos on CBS’ official page. With a little Survivor know-how, though, we can just start deducing what’s what. The reward challenge will once again divide everyone up into teams, with an obstacle course and a portion where each team will be tied together and have to haul something. Without more information, coming to a real conclusion seems premature.

As for the immunity challenge, this promo has even less in the way of footage, but it is quite revealing. Check out what Michaela is grabbing around the 9-second mark: cards. If you look closely, you’ll see they’re running towards an apparatus that stretches beyond the frame. It seems like the show will rehash the domino-effect challenge, where players have to line up a series of cards to knock something over. Usually, the cards have to be placed on a shaky surface, similar to last week’s challenge.

Now it’s time to head back to the synopsis. We speculated that Sierra would end up revealing her legacy advantage based on the wording. Her confessional here about feeling like she’s in a precarious position seems to reinforce that idea. Sharing that kind of information can help bring an ally in, especially considering the shakeup that happened during the last Tribal Council. That’s what Zeke emphasizes in the above, too.

One thing that remains a mystery? How the game will have such a drastic shift such that it’s named “Reinventing How This Game Is Played.”
