JT has to play a perfect game again. He’s worried about 3 women coming after him, Cirie, Parvati, and Sugar. JT also is a past winner, soooo, he is a target along with other past winners.
Andy Denhart has a full breakdown of JT’s thoughts going into Heroes vs Villians.

From August 9th until September 16th the cast-a-ways contested the Heroes vs. Villians and filmed it for our entertainment. Beginning in February we get to watch the Good, the Bad and the Ugly!
Of course when she said that to me in Samoa right before filming on Heroes Vs. Villains, Candice Woodcock was pretty sure she was going to be on the Villains tribe. And with good reason: Candice is most famous for mutinying off her own tribe in the Cook Islands. Probst’s defense for making Candice a hero (which can be seen in the video below) is that Candice’s mutiny maneuver was a heroic move to get back on a team with the people she loved. Okay, but that runs completely contrary to the way Cook Islands was edited and presented, when Yul, Ozzy, Becky, and Sundra were the abandoned underdogs who had to overcome tremendous odds after being left for dead by Candice and Jonathan Penner. In fact, Cook Islands was an underwhelming season until we finally had people to root for and against, and make no mistake, back then Candice was being presented squarely in the “against” camp. But here she is a hero? Doesn’t make sense, but there you have it. [ an exclusive on location video ]

Here we go again. Apparently learning nothing about hidden idols in Samoa, SEG decided to both liberally toss them around again, and set Russell loose.
It’s unclear if there’s one available in this episode, but regardless, we’ll probably be shown Russell looking for them at some point. It would appear that this never gets old.
————————————————————————————–
According to EW’s Dalton Ross, “The contestants arrived for the start of the game via four New Zealand military helicopters and were immediately thrust into a brutally physical challenge that results in one topless player and two painful injuries. (All of the challenges will be based on classic challenges from past seasons.)”
There was no challenge visible in the People’s Choice footage of the helicopter arrival, but the beach looks very similar to the one shown in the digging/wrestling challenge shots from the CBS “Meet the Cast” video. So we’ll go with that as the reward challenge. This looks like a resurrection of the “Pull stuff out of Nick’s ass” challenge (the Ep3 IC) from Survivor Panama: Exile Island, in which contestants dug up pillows and tried to either race back to get their pillows past their goal lines, or tried to prevent their opponents from doing so.
As for the topless contestant Dalton talks about, that one’s easy: Several months ago at Sucks, Survivrcuz claimed: “sugars out first after exposing her tits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”, which missyae modified with “The info about Sugar makes people think she exposed herself. Thats not what happened. She had her top tore off during a challenge.” So it seems there’ll be a lot of blurring to look forward to in this episode.
Who gets injured? EW’s pre-game interview with Stephenie (at the bottom of the page with Dalton Ross’s story) includes Probst mentioning that she has a problem with her shoulder getting dislocated, and actually shows footage of this being treated by Survivor’s medical team in this very challenge (caps below).
Update: Probst said at the 10th anniversary reunion event (video here): “Five minutes into the game, we have a broken toe, a dislocated shoulder, and a topless finish.” And SurvivorsUnite adds more details: “Parvati is the one who dislocates Stephenie’s arm during the challenge. And Boston Rob is the one who gives a broken toe to Rupert.”

Tom Westman, Palau
Heroism: The NYC firefighter dominated entire game, winning five out of seven immunity challenges and catching a shark (!) for his tribe to feast on.
Outwitticism: Regarding his alliance with Ian, Tom confidently declared, “You know when the other guy is going to stand by you, and he should know that you’ll stand by him. I’m taking a risk, but that’s my move”—until Ian shocked Tom by revealing he would not reciprocate. Needless to say, Tom made a different move.

Candice Woodcock, Cook Islands
Heroism: Broke Billy’s heart after mouthing “I love you” to him, but then kissed Adam goodbye after her tribal elimination? Flipped tribes? Hmmm, starting to sound a lot more like a candidate for the Villains tribe. Maybe she got a pity vote for spending so much time on Exile Island or being voted out by her island BF?
Outwitticism: “A kiss is nice,” said Jeff Probst upon snuffing her torch. “Maybe if it were love he would have given you the Immunity necklace.”

Heroism: The gravedigger is a hot, generally nice guy, but he was voted out while holding two—two!—Immunity Idols.

Colby Donaldson, Australian Outback and All-Stars
Heroism: Or stupidity? With immunity in the final three, Colby stayed true to an (ultimately very expensive) alliance with Tina and voted out surly Keith, who virtually had Survivor Loser written on his forehead in Fallen Comrades facepaint.
Outwitticism: “I am a lot o’ things, but I ain’t no Hershey bar.” [See: Jerri Mahoney, below.]
