Survivor: Tocantins (recap-based) future challenge spoilers/ speculation
  Clips from several future episodes were featured in the recap episode (aired 3/25/09). This page compiles what we and others have gleaned from them, about how the game plays out going forward. There's not much game left, but there's still at least one unaired challenge.
Future challenge 1: "Spider" | Eight or four players left (final four)
Note: from the Ep9 previews, this is clearly not from the Final 8, so it must be final four.

  From the overhead shot, the layout of this course is like a giant spider, with long net tunnels for the legs, and puzzle tables (we're guessing that's what they're for) on the abdomen. The nets lead to bags, presumably of puzzle pieces. There are only four tables, and they're color-coded (black, green, white, red), so the challenge is at the individual stage of the game - either in four pairs of two at F8, or four solo contestants at F4 (we'd guess F4). JT and Taj are the only players shown, with JT collecting green items, and Taj is wearing black.
   Note that JT has acquired a stripe of blue paint on the back of his shirt at this point. Also, the colors on both his and Taj's buffs, while matching each other, have clearly been altered, and don't resemble the normal color of the Jalapao buffs seen in the first five episodes. Just an attempt by CBS to hide the true color.
   Also, a DreamTeam run-through of this challenge is shown behind Jeff Probst in the "behind the scenes" video CBS posted, showing the making of the main title sequence. VolcanicGlass at Survivor Phoenix has some excellent caps of those shots.
