Tocantins (recap-based) future challenge spoilers/
speculation |
Clips
from several future episodes were featured in the recap episode
(aired 3/25/09). This page compiles what we and others have gleaned
from them, about how the game plays out going forward.

| Future
challenge 1: "Spider" | Eight or four players
left (F8 or F4) |
From the overhead shot, the layout of this course is like a giant
spider, with long net tunnels for the legs, and puzzle tables (we're guessing
that's what they're for) on the abdomen. The nets lead to bags, presumably of
puzzle pieces. There are only four tables, and they're color-coded (black, green,
white, red), so the challenge is at the individual stage of the game - either
in four pairs of two at F8, or four solo contestants at F4 (we'd guess F4).
JT and Taj are the only players shown, with JT collecting green items,
and Taj is wearing black.
Note that JT has acquired
a stripe of blue paint on the back of his shirt at this point. Also, the colors
on both his and Taj's buffs, while matching each other, have clearly been altered,
and don't resemble the normal color of the Jalapao buffs seen in the first five
episodes. Just an attempt by CBS to hide the true color.
Also, a DreamTeam run-through of this challenge is shown behind
Jeff Probst in the "behind the scenes" video CBS
posted, showing the making of the
main title sequence. VolcanicGlass at Survivor
Phoenix has some excellent caps of
those shots.

reward 1: River rafting trip | Unknown position,
Stephen & ? on reward? |
The overhead shot shows five people in a raft, but it looks like
a decoy shot, since the second set of pics shows people in different positions,
and we see Stephen's red shorts in the raft (not obvious in the overhead shot).
There appear to be at least two guides in the front of the shot (khaki shirts,
black shorts). Behind them, middle of the second shot is someone in a light-colored
shirt, best match appears to be JT (although the shorts don't seem to match his).
There's also someone in a dark shirt on the right-hand side of the second picture,
possibly Tyson (or another guide)?

challenge 2: Skinny Coach reaction |
Not much to go on here, challenge-wise, apart from Coach apparently
not winning something. (It would be amusing if it's from his boot episode). But
he's in a false-colored, presumably merge tribe buff (made to look black... -ish),
and is
much skinnier, more weathered, and more heavily bearded than he was in Ep5. So
it looks like he lasts a while. Doesn't appear to be from future challenge 1
(the spider one), since he has no colored headband on.

challenge 3: Emotional Taj (family visit?) |
Again, not much to work with challenge-wise, but this one shows Taj
reacting happily to something, next to Probst. Since it's a solo shot of her
with Probst, it's from the individual challenge portion of the game. From the
body language, either she won a great reward, or it could be from the family
visit episode. It doesn't appear to be from future challenge 1 (the spider one),
since she's dressed differently.

camp shot: Sierra in a merge buff |
Not a challenge shot, per se, but it does show Sierra in what is
clearly not a black Timbira buff. Presumably a merged tribe buff (which, as SurvivorPhoenix
shows conclusively here,
is green), that has been especially poorly false-colored by CBS. Note also that
SurvivorPhoenix caught Tyson's bearded out-of-context confessional about "God's
candy" in the recap as also having a doctored buff color.
