| Future reward(s):
Helicopter ride to mountain resort, Panama canal? |

TDT
Analysis: The helicopter shot initially appeared
in the post-Ep6 preview, but a different angle was offered
in the recap, showing a green-roofed building. Also included
in the recaps was a shot of ships moving through the
Panama canal. We don't know if the canal shot is part
of a reward, or if the two sets of shots are from separate
rewards, but one location that loosely matches is the
Gamboa
Rainforest Resort, which has a helipad, and overlooks
the canal. And it does have some green-roofed buildings
and a big hill, although they're not (on first glance,
at least) clear matches for the images shown in the previews.

| Chop the
ropes of your enemies: At or before final seven |
 |
 |
|
TDT
Analysis: Clearly an individual challenge; could
be either for reward or immunity. We think the stump
behind Terry might contain the individual immunity idol,
but he blocks it throughout the sequence, so we can't
be sure. Obviously, the challenge is the latest version
of the now-traditional "answer questions right and
eliminate your friends/enemies" one. Note: VolcanicGlass astutely asks what's in Terry's non-chopping hand. It
looks too small to be a Q&A writing tablet, and it's
certainly not an answer cube. Hmmm.
As for when this occurs, there are at least six blocks
with ropes visible for the chopping. There may be more,
but clearly, this challenge has to occur no later than
with six players remaining. It was last seen in Guatemala, here (with
seven left). We think that's about right, since the final
six episode should be the family visit, which seems like
an odd fit for this challenge.

| Tethered
race:
At or before final four? |
 |
 |
 |

TDT
Analysis: The only non-Probst people visible here
are Terry and Aras (obviously), along with Cirie and
Danielle. Based on what we've heard (as has ChillOne),
these people are all in the final four, so it could
come as late as that. As has been discussed thoroughly
at
MeSS,
Aras's beard growth does look noticeably more full
in these shots than it does at the Ep6 juncture.
The challenge itself appears to require navigating
a rope course while clipped on to the central rope
by a belt with a cord and carabiner. The fighting appears
to be over Terry re-clipping while passing a post.
Not all that informative, probably shown for symbolic
purposes.
