Survivor: Tocantins episode 11 detailed reward challenge spoilers/ speculation
   This is clearly the long-awaited Survivor Auction, in which the contestants are given a wad o' cash, with which they're expected to bid on various items: some good, some great, and some pretty crappy. At least one twist is that one of the items is a video on a smartphone from a loved one, upon which Taj places the winning bid (which is the scene in the recap we've been waiting for on the future challenges page). Not too much else obvious from the post-Ep10 preview, apart from Coach holding a glass of wine.
   What's not clear is whether this is whether an actual family visit takes place here. From the episode listing (which references the episode title as well): "A tough decision gives one castaway the chance to sacrifice personal comfort to benefit the rest of the tribe." Like Matt's decision in Amazon to sacrifice his mom's visit so the others could get one from their loved ones? Since Taj got the video, it's probably her decision to make.
   Also unclear (so far) is whether anyone gets exiled. Seems a bit cruel when everyone knows there's no hidden idol, and since the only way to do it would be to trick the contestants into bidding on a fun-filled trip to exile. So we'd guess not, but you never know. The producers could easily be that cruel. Unless the exilee gets to have their loved one with them.

   Who wins? Well, unless they're really stupid and fail to buy anything, everyone wins. Just some more than others.
