ONE CASTAWAY COLLAPSES AT THE REWARD CHALLENGE
ON "SURVIVOR: COOK ISLANDS," THURSDAY, NOV. 2
"Why Aren't You Swimming?" -- One castaway collapses at the Reward Challenge, on SURVIVOR: COOK ISLANDS, Thursday, Nov. 2 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
At an extremely physical Reward Challenge, one castaway collapses from exhaustion, leaving the burden of completing the challenge to their other tribe mates. When one survivor chooses to sit out the physical portion of the Reward Challenge, the rest of the tribe becomes resentful of this person after their loss. With little shelter available, a raging storm makes one castaway's trip to Exile Island a nightmare. And, the eighth castaway is voted off the island.
Texan:
I think Yul is the exile person and Jonathon is the strong person the decides to sit out.

Survivor: Cook Islands episode 7 detailed RC spoilers/ speculation
Having two water-based challenges makes it a bit difficult to sort out which challenge is which. Helpfully, however, we're shown Nate arriving at (what must be) the RC with Aitutaki, and Jonathan is visible in the shot. And he's wearing a different shirt here than he is when he sits out the puzzle/zipline challenge (which would be his brown t-shirt), so this other challenge (smashing plates) must be for reward.
The challenge itself doesn't seem that complicated, unless we're missing a huge component in the previews. Which seems likely. (A challenge without puzzles? How could that be?) The contestants appear to take a stick, swim out to a tower with six plates (odd, because one tribe has five and the other eight at this point), jump off and smash a plate, then swim back. Then again, there are stray barrels and something table-like at the starting mats on the beach, and there appear to be only three swimmers per tribe, so maybe they'll find a way to work puzzles into it, after all.

So who wins? Since the focus seems to be all on Ozzy, and we are shown only Aitutaki smashing plates, we'll guess Aitutaki wins. Which makes sense, since Ozzy should dominate in a challenge with a heavy swimming component. There are a lot of shots of Aitutaki eating in camp in the web promo as well, although (again thanks to Ozzy) they never seem to be particularly at want for food.

Ziplines, collecting colored bags, and a raised platform that houses both the zipline departure and what looks suspiciously like a puzzle table. As pointed out in the RC discussion, this challenge must be the IC.
Immunity challenge shots: Click thumbnail image to view larger image Not sure where the shot of the Rarotonga women on balancing poles fits, but it's sunny, and Jenny is dressed differently here than at the RC, so this might be towards the end of the challenge (because we don't see the other tribe doing it). Regardless, because of the focus on Ozzy as a threat who needs to be booted, we think Aitutaki loses this challenge. (He won't be booted of course, but they need a distraction from the true boot).
Ozzy's featured "Strength" jump off the platform (with Probst behind), and feet-up zip ride and splashdown clearly towards the end of the challenge, since there's a single red bag remaining on Aitutaki's mat (as opposed to a huge pile of blue bags on Rarotonga's mat when Candice splashes down). Perhaps this is a desperate, last-minute attempt to retrieve another puzzle piece/bag? Whatever, looks like a Rarotonga win.
Survivor: Cook Islands episode 7 detailed Boot spoilers/ speculation
Looks like Aitutaki will finally lose another immunity challenge this week, so we'll get to see lots of plotting to oust Ozzy. None of that, of course, will come to fruition. For proof of this, you need look no further than VolcanicGlass's excellent vidcap analysis, showing Ozzy participating in a (quite distantly) future reward (and we know it's future, from the initial six pages in the thread linked above).
Besides, the next boot from Aitutaki was already highlighted in the previous episode, when Cao Boi assured Jessica the two of them were completely safe. Cao Boi is now gone, so that means Probst should be snuffing Flica's flame. Unless everything else is wrong, and it's Brad. But we don't think so.

Episode 7: RC - Tile Smash
'VolcanicGlass at MESS: "Flica is sitting out a challenge. From this cap, it's clear someone else is sitting out with her. And from the color of the shirt, it's clear that it is Nate sitting out with her. We can also see them both in the background of the side shots. Given that Nate stays with Aitutaki through the next RC, this must be the RC." Photo of sitouts
Given that Aitu already has one more person than Raro and also has the kidnapped Nate then it makes sense that Aitu would sit two people out.
