Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains episode 3 detailed reward challenge spoilers/ spec
    Despite the presence of the "Slip, Slide & Score" shots in the intro, we don't think that challenge is in this episode. Rather, we think it's from Ep4 (possibly the Ep4 RC), and that something else is (maybe) the Ep3 RC. Why? Because the Ep3 PIP promo shows what looks like a dejected Heroes tribe returning to camp, and Candice is not apparently wearing a swimsuit (and they're also not muddy, so it's not post-IC). (Upon further review, the Candice/Amanda shot may actually be an arrival one). Most clearly, James wanders past a shoe in camp and gives it a kick.
   The ads do show the Villains arriving at a beachfront challenge, and neither Sandra nor Courtney (both of whom sit out the IC) is dressed as they are at the IC. We'd guess that's probably arrival at the Ep3 RC.

Update:
As Katy Carney correctly pointed out at Sucks & MeSS, the shots in the promo of the Villains hiking to a challenge are actually from Ep1, and Kona correctly identifies that the downcast-looking Candice/Amanda hiking shots mentioned above are probably from the hike to the Ep3 IC. That makes it significantly less clear that there's definitely a separate RC in this episode.

Updated update: After not reading Kona's post carefully enough, and comparing the various shots of the Heroes tribe hiking to and from challenges, it appears the part of Kona's post we had overlooked is correct: the shot below is most likely from the Heroes tribe's hike to the Ep3 IC (as are the shots of Candice and Amanda). That means there's no evidence for a separate Ep3 RC, and it's likely another episode with a combined RC/IC.

Final updatingy update: CBS finally released the press photos for this episode yesterday (see them at SurvivorPhoenix), and they reveal that it is indeed a combined RC/IC, creatively named "Sumo An' Mud".
