Challenges[]
Challenge: Squatty Probst
Castaways must stand in a squatting position, releasing the safety from their apparatus holding up an urn of water above a fire. Should they stand too high, their urn will spill, extinguishing their fire. If they go too low, a flag will release, eliminating them from the challenge. The last castaway squatting wins.
Additional Stipulation: Castaways may choose to sit out and eat pizza instead of competing.
Winner: Aurora McCreary
Challenge: (No Title)
There was an unaired Reward Challenge on Day 26. Castaways were divided into three teams of three, and had to throw enough coconuts into a basket to release a set of 20 puzzle pieces. They would then need to take the puzzle pieces to a platform and assemble them to create the season's logo.[2]
Reward: Cheeseburgers and cheesecake
Winner: Gavin Whitson, Kelley Wentworth, and Lauren O'Connell (shared with Julie Rosenberg)
Challenge: Paddle Out
Castaways must balance a dish with five dimples on a ball support. Each castaway must land one ball in each of the five dimples. The first person to land all their balls wins.
Additional Stipulation: After finding a advantage on the Edge of Extinction, David Wright sent it to Rick Devens, requiring him to land one ball in only four dimples instead.
Winner: Rick Devens
