Survivor: Tocantins episode 12 detailed reward challenge spoilers/ speculation
towers at RC end   Surprisingly, with a mere nine days left in the season, CBS remembered that they could post web promos (now on YouTube, thanks, anywho). And said web promo includes shots of both the RC and the IC. Or at least, the IC, and some sort of bizarre exercise that may be the RC.
   The contestants are shown jogging, slowly, around some "maze" that spells out "SURVIVOR" (sadly, they cut off the "SUCKS"). Yes, the show that pioneered product placement is now trying to sell itself... to an audience of whom, exactly? We're pretty sure that's a crackerjack business strategy.
   Anyway, there appears to be a challenge here somewhere. Since they're wearing color-coded headbands, there's probably some sort of stations in or near the maze, or something. From the press photos, the challenge title is "Blind To Reason" (although they're not actually blindfolded), for what it's worth.
   Update: There appear to be towers at the end of the course (above, behind the last R in "SURVIVOR")... we would guess there's something to collect on the course, to be assembled/filled in on the towers, perhaps raising a flag when they win? (We can't see much of anything to collect on the course itself, though).

hmm, what starts with "Surv..."? and ends with "ivor"?

   Who wins? Well, if it's purely running-based, it's hard for anyone to beat JT. At the very least, it's not Coach, since, as birdlady notes at MeSS, he appears to be exiled this week. From the post-RC clip shown during the Jimmy Fallon interview with Probst, it's clear that's where Coach is headed (h/t Emcee Batley at Sucks), although it's not clear what triggered Erinn's comment. We'll guess JT sends Coach, although it could be Erinn (but JT winning challenges will be our default guess from here on out).
