Squared Off

Flip Out (also known as Turtle Roll and Watch Your Step) is a recurring individual challenge that originated in. It has since been used in and. The challenge requires puzzle solving and analytical strategy.

Rules
Each contestant starts the challenge at the edge of a series of tiered platforms comprised of several six-sided tiles. One at a time, contestants will take one step onto a new tile (turning it over to show a designated color). Contestants are not allowed to step onto a space that has already been used. When a castaway has no more legal moves, they are eliminated from the challenge. Last person standing wins.

Often, additional rules are included, such as reaching the top tile allowing the contestant to reposition themselves on the board.

History
When the challenge debuted in (under the name Turtle Roll), it was used as the Loved Ones reward, with the contestant's loved ones actually competing in the challenge. Additional rules included four tiles were marked with "Skip a Turn" (the loved one who flipped over the tile loses their next turn) and one tile marked "Vote Someone Out" (allowing the loved one to eliminate a rival from the challenge). Furthermore, contestants were only permitted to communicate non-verbally with their loved ones. Paschal's wife Beverly was the first eliminated from the challenge. Daryl (Sean Rector's friend) found the Vote Someone Out tile, and torn on what to do, threw his cap in the air. It landed closest to Leander (Vecepia's husband), and Daryl eliminated him. Ultimately, Kathy Vavrick-O'Brien won the challenge when her son Patrick outlasted the remaining loved ones, allowing him to spend the night at the Soliantu beach.

In, the challenge (called Watch Your Step) was used for individual immunity. An advantage at the challenge was purchased at the Survivor Auction by Danni Boatwright and allowed her to switch positions with another contestant at any stage of the challenge. She used the advantage in the last leg of the game to swap places with Stephenie LaGrossa, allowing Danni to win immunity.

saw the challenge appear again for individual immunity. Early on, Brandon Hantz made moves to eliminate Edna Ma, the target for the next vote, from the challenge instead of winning himself. His attempt to be coy about this strategy angered Edna, but it worked, and allowed Coach Wade to win the challenge, and immunity, by a wide margin.
