Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains episode 8 detailed immunity challenge spoilers/ spec
  As discussed on the RC page, it's not immediately clear which challenge is for immunity, but we think the mud challenge is for immunity.

  Looks like another week, another Guatemala challenge (as far as we can tell). This one appears to be a reboot of "Mudslide," originally used as the Ep10 (individual) reward challenge in Guatemala. The CBS site has the official description: "Divide into two teams of two women and two men. Each male or female pair is connected by a rope and must race through a mud-pit obstacle course. At the end of the course are clay pots filled with corn. Each team must slog back through the mud to the starting line with the pot of corn and use it to fill a larger pot. The first team to fill the larger pot wins."
   Danielle and Jerri are visible sitting out (we originally thought Courtney because of the socks, and because sitting out is what she's allowed to do, but Sylvester at Blows, LKMOSCAR at Sucks, and of course VG at SurvivorPhoenix all have better eyes). If one more Villain woman and a Hero man are also sitting out, it could be done in the same way as it was originally (we do hear Rupert bellowing in the preview). Unless of course, it's some other challenge featuring a muddy obstacle course done by people tethered together.
 
Update: tribephyl at Blows found video of the Guatemala version of this challenge.
Another update: One change from the original version appears to be that more than two Heroes are on the course at the same time: Colby, JT and Candice (and presumably also Amanda) are all seen running/diving toward the first gate. (Um, nope).
Revised update: Nevermind, that's Courtney, not Candice. So still likely to be two-on-two.
Even updated-er update: VolcanicGlass at SurvivorPhoenix noticed the immunity idol is visible in the shot of Amanda going under the gate. So this is indeed for immunity.

   So who wins? Since the boot comes from the Villains tribe this week, that would indicate the Heroes win immunity this week (again).
