One castaway feels hurt by what she considers to be a personal rejection by someone she had liked. A feast on the Great Wall of China has its diners excited…until they realize they have no idea what to do with it! One overly confident castaway is oblivious to what a close ally is considering. An unexpected bond emerges that threatens to shake up the game as it heads into the Final Four.

Regarding the Reward Challenge for Episode 12: (Information and pics from TDT) Reward is a visit to the Great Wall, dinner and sleep overnight.
****************************
As for the challenge itself, CBS actually deigned to show it in the post-Ep11 preview of this episode, and it looks fairly straightforward. The contestants take turns firing a crossbow at a 5x5 grid, in which each person's name appears on five of the squares. It's not obvious if they are trying to hit their own name to win, or other people's names to eliminate them (probably the latter). Of the names on the target, Todd seems to have at least two, possibly three hits already (he hits either Amanda or himself in the clip), Denise and Peih-Gee each have at least two hits, with no clear hits to Amanda or Courtney.
So who wins? From the preview, we'd say Todd and Courtney go on the trip. Amanda, Denise and Peih-Gee are shown talking about booting Todd in the middle of camp. This seems most likely to happen during the reward, since one of Todd or Courtney is otherwise usually fairly close to where Amanda is in camp. Also, Courtney is shown holding a half-empty wine bottle, looking a bit surprised at the paranoia around camp, suggesting she's been gone. Of the two, Courtney seems the most likely to win if not having your name shot is the key to winning.

I just wanted to thank everybody for spoiling for us. I'm going to avoid spoilers for the last few shows so it'll all be a big surprise. Thanks! Much appreciated

That look between Todd and Courtney on the last picture is to die for. What could elicit that look? These 2 people are, so much, on the same page it's scary.

Some preview pics and verbage from over at Survivor Phoenix: ********************** Probst VO - Next time on Survivor.
Courtney: Are we getting extreme Survivor paranoia right now? Probst VO - Amanda targets Todd...
Amanda - (confessional) "I could pull Peih-Gee and Denise together..." Probst VO - but Todd fights back.
Courtney - confessional) - An angry Todd is a bad Todd."
Todd - (confessional) "I will be pissed off." Probst VO - As alliances crumble, no one is safe.
Peih-Gee - "I hope you guys knock off Todd."
Peih-Gee - "I'd like to see that happen." (laughs)

I don't think it is. I think we are past the point where that usually shows up in a Survivor Series. I don't think these guys are good enough with a crossbow to hit everything they aim at ... I would think it is more a hit and miss thing. TDT said they didn't know if the winner was the one with the most hits or the least hits. Maybe Todd gets the most hits and takes Courtney, or maybe Courtney gets the least hits and takes Todd.

Dove ... I only remember one where she surprised everybody with her skills...but right now can't seem to find the pics to remind myself what it was. She also won the balancing challenge. ****************** Survivor: China Episode 12 Promo VoiceOver VO: Alliances falter ...
Amanda: I may have to think about getting rid of Todd. VO: New friendships form.
VO: Who will make it to the final four? *************************** The Immunity Challenge is "Chinese Leftovers". Sounds like repeats of bits and pieces of previous challenges thrown into one for immunity.
Todd doing "Weapons of Steel"...hopefully not a repeat pic from a previous show, but it is shown in this weeks previews shots.
Courtney, Amanda, and PG each trying to balance a coordinating-colored ball with their drum. Pictures of the F5 just before starting the IC.
\image}10} And, the spoilers have all said for a long time that this is where Peih-Gee gets the boot. I can't tell from the spoilers that are out there is Amanda is really trying to oust Todd, or if she is just trying to befriend PG to get her vote on the jury.

What was said at the voting booth in Ep. 11 TC: Tribal Council On night 33, Erik was voted out of the game. Find out what the Survivors had to say when they cast their votes. Amanda ("Eric" with a smiley face): Erik, you know I think you're fabulous. You played this game with a lot of heart and a lot of honesty and trust, and I admire that. You know why you're getting this vote tonight, and I'm sorry, and I hope we can be friends later. Thank you. Bye. Todd (Erik): Sorry, it's either me or you tonight, and I'm not ready to go, so it's you. Peih-Gee (Todd): Sorry, man. This is purely strategic and I made a promise to an old friend. Courtney (Erik): You're the nicest person in the world and I feel really bad. I almost hope you have a little trick up your sleeve. Sorry. Erik (Todd): Too many people said they couldn't trust you. You're my only hope to swing the vote. Sorry. Denise (Erik): Erik, I really like you. I'm sorry I have to do this, it's probably the biggest mistake I'm gonna make in this game. Good luck to you, man.

Here's a picture of the line-up prior to the IC

Right now both TDT and Survivor Fever are thinking this was for the IC. They think Todd gets eliminated in the star throw since he isn't seen in the food pic. They think Denise gets eliminated in the food competition as she isn't shown in the "bounce-the-ball-on drum" game. And since it is spoiled to be PG that gets the boot, the winner of the IC should be either Courtney or Amanda. My money would be on Amanda.

"Peih-Gee (Todd): Sorry, man. This is purely strategic and I made a promise to an old friend." Thanx Ginger, as usual GREAT spoiling. Just wondering Who might be the 'old friend' she's referring to. Has PG been really close to anybody? I have to take my hat off to her, PG has truly outlasted longer than I ever expected.

She made a promise during the show that she wouldn't vote for Erik (when she was talking with Erik about trying to get Denise to cause a tie). I think she considers Erik an old friend because they were the only two left from Zhan Hu.

I don't think Amanda is forming a "friendship" with Peih-Gee at all.. she's just working on jury votes, or, if Peih-Gee were to get immunity, working on not being voted out. Good game play, for sure.

There are some new piks up, but they aren't worth bringing over cause they don't change anything that we don't already think we know. RC - Todd wins and takes Courtney, or Courtney wins and takes Todd (I think it's the 1st way 'round). IC - Amanda or Courtney win, probably Amanda Boot - PG

I'm going to post the whole thing of this in general spoilers since he goes into the F3 prediction here.. Greetings fellow watchers: The final weekend of "Survivor: China" has arrived. One regular episode tonight, followed by a three-hour block Sunday that includes the reunion show. <snip> Tonight should put to rest the final member of the Zhan Hu tribe, PEIH-GEE. The promos hint that Amanda wants to target Todd - but is she serious, or just trying to curry vital jury votes by painting Todd as the evil one in her alliance? Either way, it looks like Amanda will not pull the trigger. Look for Amanda or Courtney to win Immunity. I will post later this week with more information about the final episode and my official forecast of the winner. That's all for now. Happy viewing, Michael Hewitt The Watcher 562-413-0600 www.ocregister.com/pedrowatcher

Ginger, ladida-da Remember how Todd & Amnda seemed to avoid winning RC? When I saw Courtney with 12 arrows, I wndered if they'd clue her in about that. Poor Denise only found two in hers. She knew she's the last one on that pole though.... Due to the snow, I'll be home for once watching it real time!

I thought it was kind of hilarious that Denise ended up winning reward because of Courtney throwing arrows all over the place. Or was she trying to make Denise win?

I agree Juju .... it was fantastic that Denise won after the way they have completely left her out of so many things. She got to go on one fabulous trip because Peih-Gee invited her, and she got to go on the 2nd trip cause Courtney has a lousy aim. I think the picks of Courtney and Todd were fair though, cause Courtney did make her the winner, and Todd almost won for the same reason. However; I think it is terrible they didn't give PG any arrows. Courtney gave her one and she thanked her for it (sarcastically).
