Survivor Edge of Extinction episode 3 preview: Chicken or the egg?

We get a look at the first pure Reward Challenge of the season in the Survivor: Edge of Extinction episode 3 preview. Will Ron Clark order up a reward steal?

The Survivor: Edge of Extinction episode 3 preview showcases the Reward Challenge’s setup and the beginning of the challenge in action.

The previews this season have been fairly well in balancing a tease of what’s to come in the episode without going too overboard in potential spoilers. It’s always great to get a tease of life on the island as opposed to yet another challenge. Unfortunately, we did not get that kind of insight for the Survivor: Edge of Extinction episode 3 preview.

That’s right, as seen on the show’s social network accounts, the preview for “Betrayals Are Going to Be Exposed” is of the first pure Reward Challenge of the season. Probably an honest attempt to tempt Ron Clark to steal the reward if Kama loses (a likely story), this will see a variation of every season’s “hit this series of targets with sandbags” challenge.

The caveat of this challenge is that players will need to build a wheelbarrow to carry the sandbags to a platform then turn the wheelbarrow inside out and rebuild it as a slingshot at the ending platform. There, tribes will need to knock down four targets to win one of two rewards; comfort blankets and pillows or chickens (three hens and one rooster specifically). Aubry and Ron are sitting out this challenge for Kama.

There’s not too much to glean from this preview. We know that Wardog and Devens are wielding the wheelbarrow for Manu and Eric and Joe are on that duty for Kama, with David and Julie respectively on setup duty. It gives us just a touch further insight than what the press photos this week showed, as now we know how the slingshots are formed.
