Survivor Edge of Extinction episode 11 press photos: Down, but not out

The Final Eight is a tense time in this game. Survivor: Edge of Extinction episode 11 press photos show the stress on the players’ faces.

The Survivor: Edge of Extinction episode 11 press photos will showcase parts of the show this week, including the reward challenge, immunity challenge and some portions of camp life.

All the world’s indeed a stage, but the people left in Survivor: Edge of Extinction are not merely players. They are blindside-hardened people vying to do whatever it takes to win the million-dollar prize, and nobody has to worry (for the moment) about whether or not returnees will steal their shine. This is now their story, and we are approaching the endgame not only in theaters this weekend.

Let’s take a look at the Survivor: Edge of Extinction episode 11 press photos.

Survivor Edge of Extinction episode 11 Rick Lauren

You can tell through Lauren’s unease that things are not hunky-dory at the Vata tribe. Her closest ally just got voted out of the game with an idol in her pocket, so you know she has to be worried about her status in the game.

Survivor Edge of Extinction episode 11 Ron Rick Wardog

Friendship with Kelley and Lauren has ended. Now Rick and Ron are Wardog’s best friends, or so it seems with their new “players alliance” trio.

Survivor Edge of Extinction episode 11 Julie Rosenberg

If there’s going to be a wildcard player during this upcoming episode of Survivor: Edge of Extinction, it’s going to be Julie. The one player she’s trusted all game, Ron, blindsided her in the previous episode by voting Kelley out. Who knows where she will go now. Will she be a Laurel like in Ghost Island or a Yanny that we’ve never seen before?

Survivor Edge of Extinction episode 11 reward challenge teams start

We don’t have the full picture of the reward challenge’s back end yet, but two teams of four will compete in a series of underwater swimming relays, with Wardog and Lauren swimming and ring-retrieving for the blue team and Ron and Aurora doing the same for the yellow team.

Survivor Edge of Extinction episode 11 reward challenge Aurora

After swimmers arrive at a platform, they need to pull themselves backward underwater using the rope to clear the long distance. It’s not as easy a task to fully clear when you’ve been starving for close to four weeks playing Survivor, so players can opt to come up for air mid-way through.

Survivor Edge of Extinction episode 11 reward challenge rings

After scaling the platform in reverse under water, swimmers need to retrieve one ring, toss it to their partners at the end platform and swim to the final platform themselves before their swimming partner can complete their portion. The end of this challenge remains unseen.

This is a screen grab of the Survivor: Edge of Extinction episode 11 reward players are competing for. That “Mudpool” sign is totally not photoshopped, I swear!

Survivor Edge of Extinction episode 11 Kelley Joe

Over at the Edge of Extinction, Kelley is going through a horrible time after being blindsided. Joe and Kelley are reunited once more for the first time since their Candy Crush days.

Survivor Edge of Extinction episode 11 Reem Daly

Dude, bro, even Reem is looking down and out! This ain’t no Holliday Inn after all.

Survivor Edge of Extinction episode 11 immunity challenge start

Hey, look at that; a Survivor: Edge of Extinction immunity challenge that doesn’t involve standing in place and balancing (on) something! This one starts with players running over three-foot-high equivalents of video game waist-high cover.

The second portion of the challenge seems to involve players pushing a ball down a rope corridor towards the end roughly 30 feet in length.

I’m not quite sure what the players have to do here, but it involves moving the ball from underneath a net, with Aurora seen underneath furthest from this shot.

Finally, it all ends with a complicated puzzle. As you can see from the six players in this photograph, it all comes down to the puzzle, as the entire bells and whistles before seemed to matter little when it comes to the brain stumper seen here.
