Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains episode 2 detailed reward challenge spoilers/ spec
    We originally had "Slip, Slide & Score" here, but after comparing Colby's beard growth in the intro shots of that challenge and the Ep1 IC, it seems unlikely that it could have taken place a single day later. So instead, we're left to guess, at least until CBS shows more ads, maybe.
    One clue may be Rob's collapse, which presumably takes place either before the RC or between the RC and IC. If it's between (most likely), he may have overexerted himself during the RC, leading to dehydration and collapse (as with Mike Borassi and Russell Swan in Samoa). We also note this passage from cwalton's interview with Mark Burnett at the 10-year reunion party in January, posted on Survivor.com: "We liked ["Schmergen Brawl"] so much that we brought it back and another person was injured. I won’t say whether it was an evacuation, but there was another major problem. So then that challenge was thrown in the trash. It will never be back."
   Originally, "Schmergen Brawl" was the Ep2 RC/IC in Samoa. CBS video of the S19 version is here. See the future challenges page for other (potential) options.

   Another option is that there may be no (separate) reward challenge at all, but a combined RC/IC instead. Although there's no obvious sign of reward items near Probst in the IC shots.

    Update: chapera rocks makes a good point at MeSS, as does survs18 on twitter, and those are that James is due to be injured in a few episodes, then voted out shortly thereafter (see SurvivorsUnite and missyae posts from October at Sucks). This seems like a better fit for an unfortunate (and challenge-deep-sixing) outcome from Schmergen Brawl. So, upon review: either there's some boring RC they didn't feel like wasting ad space on, or it's just a combined RC/IC this week.

    Update again: Upon reviewing the IC video, it appears there's a reward table next to the idol, so it looks like no separate RC this week.
