Boats, Brains & Brawn

Boats, Brains, Brawn is a recurring physical challenge on Survivor.

Rules
Castaways would paddle a boat out into the water and collect a series of items, either crates or oars, in a zig-zag path going back to shore. Once all the items are collected, they would be used to solve a puzzle. The first tribe to finish the puzzle wins.

History
The challenge debuted in Blood vs. Water where Galang won their fourth immunity challenge in a row, beating their rivals in a close race.

The challenge returned in Cagayan as a post-merge reward challenge. In a back-and-forth race, the orange team of Jefra, Jeremiah, Spencer, and Tasha were able to beat the purple team to enjoy a picnic lunch.

Trivia

 * This challenge has only been used in seasons filmed in the Philippines.
 * Both winning teams had the contestant who finished in fourth.
