Was that holding the barrels? I thought he was holding two for a while?
Bit dodgy on the catapult tonight, but Lee has been terrible in 2 out of 3 skills-based roles he’s had, surprisingly. Lachie seemed to get a system and just knocked it out ... Henry seemed to be hopefully trying much the same thing over and over!

Personally I don’t mind it, but I think it’s much better if everyone has to rotate through. I think there’s been a lot of physical strength early in a couple of seasons recently, which o agree could be balanced up ... but if it means the fringe players like Michelle get weeded our early, that’s a good result as I see it.
100% agree with this.. if its a team challenge then everyone should get a go regardless of if there is an individual component.
But the other thing I question is what is behind the actual selections by each tribe... why would you put Moana up when she's shown nothing so far in any physical challenge.. makes no sense especially when they were already behind

I wonder if they have everyone compete but somehow edit it to make it a best of 3 kind of thing. It certainly wouldn't be the first time, I recall that JLP publicly said they had to edit some of the footage from the Daisy vs Simon Black sudden death match on exile island where they had to stack those things because it went on for too long.
This is an interesting point. I think it was clear last season that they were a strong risk of having edited too much/in too unrepresentative a manner, so I’d be surprised if they’re risking that again this season.
With that said, it would explain a bit - I would have thought you almost always just play your best available player, possibly versus their expected opponent, and if you get down to the weaker players then so be it - your opponents should be down to their weaker players as well.
I did read recently that some tribal councils can go for over an hour. Personally I have no issue with editing of that type - it’s necessary and creates higher quality content on the episode itself - so long as it’s a faithful edit.
