I don’t think it did…the tube was set up to tip over and dump the ball out once the water rose to a certain level…how they managed to do that I’m not sure… No, the ball did not float. The tube tipped over because the pivot point was fairly low, when enough water accumulated above the pivot point, the tube tips over, simple centre-of-gravity effect. ---

Thanks. I thought I remembered seeing it floating in the tube. I guess not. On the same challenge, did Jeff say that they had to keep the wheel in motion? Because it could have been accomplished faster if they stopped long enough for the person on top to expel their water. The bottom two weren’t underwater when the top person was upright so no one would be submerged. ---

Yve is doomed. She’s the only person besides Tyrone that didn’t vote for Tyrone. Not a good sign. ---

That was first bearable episode in a while. We had two interesting immunity challenges and Naonka not constantly harping on Kelly’s missing leg. ---

> [@LavenderBlue](#): > > That was first bearable episode in a while. We had two interesting immunity challenges and Naonka not constantly harping on Kelly’s missing leg. Well, the challenges (one reward and one immunity, BTW) were somewhat interesting because they happened to be close, I guess… But they’re still doing pretty wimpy challenges this season, IMO. A giant wooden pachinko game! Wooo! The spin-n-spit contraption was quite fun, yes, but then the second part was just another toss-something-at-a-target game. BIG yawn. ---

_missed the edit window_ In the extras, I also found out that the eggs were very small and the chickens were eating their own eggs. Maybe they picked the fattest one? ---

Ah, so they are not so stupid after all, they are using fear to get the surviving hen to lay bigger eggs. Well played, Espada, well played. Also, “Espada” is the name of a conference room at my office. I hate that conference room too. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/survivor-10-13-10-maybe-open-spoilers/557071.md?page=1)
