Again,
based on the challenge
board, there is a reward challenge of some kind scheduled
here. Which means the
remaining contestants will battle it out for some kind
of "reward" here. In this case, the board reveals
(at least to our eyes) the reward is a trip to the Shaolin
temple.
Jeff Probst had this to say about the
reward in his pre-show teleconference (as
transcribed by SurvivorFever): "We also send them
to the Shaolin Temple, where they get a Kung Fu demonstration."
Upon closer inspection, the star-throwing
challenge we'd originally put here seems to be a match
for the CBS press photo's IC lineup shot. So we'll move
those to the IC page.
So, considering the trip
for the reward may take some travel time (the temple
is in Henan,
China), maybe the "unfinished business" from the previous
episode's tribal council is that the RC took place right
then and there, to get the winners on the road as soon
as possible. We'll go with that.
Update: Probst's preview at Yahoo!
TV confirms that the RC appears to take place at the
previous tribal council, and that there's a lot of traveling
involved.

So who wins? As pointed out by SurvivorPotato at
MeSS, the CBS press
photos show the IC line-up, and Amanda
and James have bags over their shoulders (and are
standing on the end of the lineup, as if they just joined
it). So we'd agree that one or both of them is most likely
the winner(s) - scratch that, read on....
Update: Probst's preview at
Yahoo! TV also makes clear that the shots of the contestants
sullenly hiding in a cave seem to take place during a rainstorm...
while the reward winner(s) are away. Present in the cave
(or out) are Amanda (see SPhoenix's shot, here), Todd, Courtney,
James and Peih-Gee. That leaves Erik and Denise unaccounted
for. So we'd say either Erik or Denise is
the most likely winner here, with one taking the other on
reward.
