Survivor: China episode 2 detailed reward challenge spoilers/ speculation
  This should be where the first reward challenge enters the picture. See the hidden idol page to go through the convoluted ramifications of winning/losing the RC this season. As for the challenge, there are a couple of options available from the previews. Not much help from the challenge board this week, but the web promo makes clear that the mud challenge is for reward (due to the table full of blankets/tarps next to Probst, and the lack of the immunity idol).

So how does it work? From the web promo, it's clear that Probst has three levers, through which he can release each of three pairs of large balls. From the overhead shot, it seems likely the contestants have to roll their balls onto their color-coded mats (which look more like rafts in this case). Sounds fairly simple, apart from the full-contact, muddy aspects of the course.

   So who wins? There are a lot of face shots in the intro. The Zhan Hus all look fairly happy, the Fei Longs merely look winded. So we had guessed that Zhan Hu wins the RC, which seems plausible, since they do have a "wrestler," and all. But upon further review, from CBS's press pictures for Ep2, Jaime appears to be missing from Zhan Hu's camp (as does everyone from Fei Long) on what looks like the morning before the IC. So we'd guess Fei Long wins RC, and they take Jaime, the shoe thief.
