Jeff: This
little video is going to show you how long sometimes it can take
simply to get to a challenge location. This is going to be one of the
coolest challenges we've ever done on Survivor, one of our most
inspired ideas, and the location for it is inside a bamboo forest,
which is about a 30 minute hike straight up. It's about 110 degrees
today and 100% humidity. It is a kick to get up this.

Jeff:
Kerhoffer. (runs up to him) Trying to share a little behind the
scenes to show how long it takes to actually get to some of our
locations. You're the one that actually found this spot - tell me
about finding it and how you had to carve this path out.
John:
The way I found it was, 'Nick and Trav (?), can you go find a bamboo
forest?' So they went out and found this in a helicopter. Then we
came up here. All that you see used to be grass like this (points).
We came up with machetes. It took about 3 or 4 trips up here, hacking
and slashing with machetes in the rain, to get a basic path. Then our
guys in the unit department came up and laid the gravel in, widened
it out, and made it into the superhighway we have now.

Jeff:
OK, we've been on this hike for about 4 minutes, and all I'm carrying
is a backpack, and I'm already definitely winded. Think about our
crews that have to carry all the gear that it takes to shoot a
challenge, whether it's cameras and audio, scaffolding - all the
stuff to make the challenge, which I'll show you at the top. And then
the poor Survivors, who've been out here 12 days now with very little
to eat, even less to drink. It ain't no picnic, but that's why they
call it Survivor, and that's why everybody that's done the show has a
certain amount of bragging rights that they did it. (waves and calls
out to crew members walking by)

Jeff:
And now we're getting to the portion where it's so steep that our
unit department actually came in and put steps along with the gravel,
so we can get all our gear up it. Otherwise it would be too steep,
especially if it was raining and muddy - you'd never do it. This is
the halfway point where we have water for everybody. You can see how
many people need to take a break in the shade. (talks to them as he
walks by)

Jeff:
This is no lie. I'm not exaggerating for affect. We're halfway
through. Kerhoffer, how are you doing? (He says he's doing great)
Well, I'm exhausted. I like to think I'm in OK shape. This is
definitely a journey just to get there.

Jeff: And
this is the light at the end of the tunnel. (?) trying to předvést,
like she ran the whole thing, which she didn't. This is the entrance
to a challenge we call Warrior's Duel. Look at that, my little bro,
Scott Probst, earning that Probst money. Look at this gauntlet,
hand-made from bamboo for this challenge. The gladiators will enter
this arena to face off for immunity.
<audio
of Jeff saying you have to watch the challenge on TV>
Jeff: Well,
the Warrior's Duel challenge is now over, so we're heading back down
the path we walked up a while ago. It was a success, a pretty good
challenge. What we'll do now is everybody will head back to base
camp, we will get a late lunch, and then we will head to Tribal
Council and vote somebody else out. That's pretty much how the days
go out here. Spend a fair amount of time getting to a location,
whether it's on foot or by boat, then the challenges themselves take
a few hours, by the time you set 'em up and get the Survivors there
to run 'em. Then you get home, have a little grub, and you have
either a rehearsal, or as I said in this case, a Tribal Council to go
too. Hope you're enjoying a little taste of behind the scenes for
Survivor: China.
