Baby with a Machine Gun is the tenth episode of Survivor 41.

Challenges

• Reward
• Immunity

Challenge: Starfish
Castaways would start on platform in the middle of the ocean. They must traverse a series of obstacles, maneuvering their rope along with them, as they make their way back to shore. Once they reach the end of the course, they must solve a star-shaped puzzle. The first castaway to complete their puzzle wins.
Reward: Pizza and a night at the Survivor sanctuary
Winner: Ricard Foyé (shared with Heather Aldret, Shan Smith, and Xander Hastings)

Challenge: Hard To Handle
Castaways must stand on a narrow beam, while balancing a ball on a stick with one hand. At predetermined intervals, they would move further down to a narrower part of the beam, while moving their hand on a lower part of the handle of their stick, making it harder to keep steady. If they drop their ball or fall off their beam, they would be out of the challenge. The last person standing wins.
Winner: Ricard Foyé
