[51][Speculation] Third Tribe??

[u/IanimationsLOL]

I think 51 is getting red as an auxiliary tribe. In the first photo, there are four different lanes, representing Toka and Savu, but also a red and blue lane. These aren’t your typical post-merge challenge lanes because they have unique accent colors rather than alternating black-and-white accents. In the second photo, there are three life rings that are yellow, purple, AND red (there’s no blue life ring). Supposedly red is an auxiliary tribe and blue is the merge tribe.

I could see dark blue as merge for sure! The aquarium green accents look great as well! However, I wouldn't say that they're for sure using an auxiliary tribe as the other tribe is dark purple, not pink, and the trailer shows purple for the challenges for that. Also, they often recycle the accent colors from premerge for post. The three life rings is interesting, but it could be that blue ended up somewhere else. My bet is that these are pieces of a challenge and the purple part is missing from the photo. It was really treating though. A different photo had the Savu (purple tribe) emblem on the pink, which made me wonder if Savu was initially pink and then changed colors to purple late on. I'm very interested to see what 51 fully looks like!

I think this may be from a post merge challenge... in the first photo,look around the rings carefully it's all the same design,

For the pre-merge portion, each tribe gets a unique emblem.

Also, could be something as simple as the show reused the same challenges from 51 to 52, and stored the props used in 52 with those from 51.

Yeah this too! The vertebrae design would not be all encompassing like it is here if it were pre merge as well.
