Survivor: Tocantins episode 11 detailed immunity challenge spoilers/ speculation
  Not much to go on here. Once the ads start airing, there may be a shot or two of this challenge. So far all we have is the wording from the episode listing: "a tricky immunity challenge puts brains and brawn to the test as the weary castaways fight for a guaranteed spot in the final five."

   So who wins? From the tv ads, it's reasonably clear that the challenge consists of an obstacle course, with puzzle tables at the starting line. As far as we can tell, the contestants dig under the first barrier, cross the balance beams, go under the ropes. Then, it appears that numbers are posted at the far end of the course. They stare at them for a while (as Taj is shown doing in the "City Slicker/Cowboy" cap), then have to go all the way back to their puzzle tables and reproduce the digits, in order.
  Update: From the Probst preview, it appears this may be a two-stage challenge, where the second stage involves watching a series of books on a rotating bar, and frantically copying down the mathematical operation (+, -, X, etc.) on the books as they spin around (then presumably doing a long math equation on their digits from the first round at the end). Only JT and Stephen are shown in this bit (below), although there could be others. As ILT notes at MeSS, with this new info in mind, the hug above may just be the two advancing to the final stage. Although regardless, it looks like one of them still wins.

  So who wins? Well, luckily, CBS felt generous this week, and showed us the winner celebrating (sort of). JT and Stephen are shown hugging right after Probst blesses one of their answers (although, again, this could be just at the end of the first stage, if it's a two-stage challenge).Which one of JT and Stephen wins? It's hard to see how JT could beat Stephen at the second stage, so we'd guess Stephen wins.
