Buggin' Out

Survivor Smorgasbord is a recurring challenge that originated in and was later used in later seasons.

Rules
In this challenge, castaways must eat a variety of native, (usually gross) foods. This challenge has appeared multiple times throughout the survivor series.

When it is seen as a tribal challenge, whoever finishes the chosen dish first, wins a point for the tribe. When this challenge is used as an individual challenge, the last person to finish the dish is out, the last man standing wins.

History
In its debut during  in, the rules were simple, if you refesued to eat the beetle larve, you automatically lost for the tribe. No one refused to ear the beetle larva. In order to break the tie, each tribes' most squeamish member faced off. Gervase Peterson and Stacey Stillman were pitted against each other. Stacey finished the larva first and won for Tagi.

The challenge returned in, a person from each tribe would compete against someone from the other. A spinning wheel determined what was to be eaten. This time, if someone refused to eat or threw up, they would lose a point for their tribe. Again, the challenge ended in a tie. Kimmi Kappenberg and Tina Wesson were chosen for the tie-breaker, Kimmi won for Kucha by eating a worm first.

Another variation of this challenge appeared in where castaways had to drink a shot cow's blood. This challenge ended in a tie, in which Kelly Goldsmith and Linda Spencer had to drink a full glass of cow blood. Linda finished first and won for Samburu.
