Survivor 2010: Episode 9 Spoilers and Challenge Speculation

CBS Press Release: “A SECRET MESSAGE PASSED BETWEEN TRIBES COULD GO DOWN AS EITHER THE DUMBEST OR BOLDEST MOVE IN SURVIVOR HISTORY
“Survivor History” – Convinced that a women’s alliance is running the Villains tribe, The Heroes develop a risky strategy in an effort to align themselves with one of the game’s most notorious player.”

First challenge is Chimney Sweep from Fiji and Tocantins. The players are braced between two walls while standing on tiny footholds above the ground.  After 30 minutes step down to smaller footholds.  After one hour step down to the smallest footholds which are less than 1/4 inch wide.  JT won this during his season and he is paired against Parvati while Sandra is paired against Rupert.  Seems like the Villains should be in trouble but according to Blackwhale from Sucks,   The challenge we see in the promo where they are standing on the tiny planks is a clean sweep by the ladies of the villains tribe. Russell sits out. Sandra, Courtney and Jerri beat their fellow cast mates Rupert, Amanda and Colby. Parvati beats fellow winner JT and Danielle beats fellow “who?” Candice.

In the next challenge we only get a glimpse of JT with a puzzle bag tied to a rope.  I’m not sure where this challenge is from or what it could be.  Anyone have any thoughts on this?

We all know the Villains lose the Immunity Challenge and Courtney is the boot.  JT will hand off his idol to Russ in hopes that Russ will get rid of Parvati.  Parvati will find an idol on her own and not tell Russ about it so in Episode 10, Russ will give Parvati an idol who will then give it to Sandra.  She will give her other one to Jerri.  Lots of idols coming into play after the merge.
