Buggin' Out (also known as Tucker'd Out, Safari Supper, Marquesan Menu, Thai Menu, Amazon Menu, Survivor Smoothie, Survivor Smorgasbord, Cool Hand Balut, U Pick, I Chews, Samoa Smoothies, Caramoan Catering, Pesky Palate, and Cambodian Catering, but popularly refered to as the "Gross-Food Eating Challenge") is a recurring challenge that originated in Survivor: Borneo and has since been 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.
As a tribal challenge, whoever finishes the dish first, wins a point for their respective tribe. When this challenge is used as an individual challenge, the last person to finish each dish is out, the last player remaining wins.
History
In its debut in Borneo, the castaways were to eat a serving of butok or bug larvae. If a contestant refused to eat the beetle larvae, the contestant's tribe would automatically lose the challenge for the tribe. In order to break the tie, each tribes' most squeamish member faced off. Gervase Peterson of Pagong and Stacey Stillman of Tagi were pitted against each other. Stacey finished the larva first and won immunity for Tagi.
The challenge returned in The Australian Outback where 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 of Kucha and Tina Wesson of Ogakor were chosen for the tiebreaker, and Kimmi won for Kucha by eating a mangrove worm first.
Another variation of this challenge appeared in Africa where castaways had to drink a shot of cow's blood. During the early rounds of the challenge, milk was added to the blood to make it more appetizing. This challenge ended in a tie, in which Kelly Goldsmith of Boran and Linda Spencer of Samburu had to drink a full glass of pure cow blood. Linda finished first and won for Samburu.
The challenge again appeared in Marquesas. Tribe members had to eat farfaru (sunbathed fermented fish). This challenge ended in a tie, so Rob Mariano of Maraamu and Neleh Dennis of Rotu had to compete against each other in the tiebreaker. Rob threw some of it up, while Neleh finished first and won for Rotu.
The first time that it was used in the post-merge phrase was in Thailand, it was used as the Loved Ones Challenge where the last loved one standing won. Helen Glover's husband Jim won over Jake Billingsley's wife Jenny. At the final four Immunity Challenge, the final round was a tarantula-eating contest which was won by Brian Heidik.
In The Amazon, it was used as an individual Immunity Challenge where the last two people in each round were eliminated. Ultimately, Matthew von Ertfelda won over Deena Bennett in the final round to win immunity.
In Pearl Islands, the tribes faced off by individually competing against each other in a smoothie drinking challenge, where several exotic food items were mixed into a single disgusting concoction. The Morgan tribe won this challenge.
The challenge was reused in All-Stars as an individual Reward Challenge, where the reward was a pizza feast with the winner's loved one to be enjoyed at the old Chapera camp. Similar to Thailand, the loved ones competed for reward. The slowest to finish a dish each round was eliminated. Tom Buchanan's son Bo won this challenge over Rob Mariano's brother Mike.
In Palau, Koror selected Tom Westman and Ian Rosenberger to compete against Ulong's last members, Bobby Jon Drinkard and Stephenie LaGrossa. The castaways had to eat balut. The first four rounds were even. The final round was a time trial, in which two castaways had to eat five balut. Tom finished his balut first, winning Koror 500 gallons of fresh water and various toiletries.
The Samoa variation of the challenge was similar to that of Pearl Islands, with smoothies once again being made out of the exotic ingredients. The Galu tribe won, mostly due to Ashley Trainer of Foa Foa having a tough time consuming her drinks.
When the challenge returned in Caramoan, it was used for the first individual Immunity Challenge. In the end, John Cochran was able to beat Malcolm Freberg and win himself immunity.
In Blood vs. Water it ultimately came down to Monica Culpepper and Gervase Peterson. Gervase once again failed to eat his larvae in time, giving Monica the win.
In Cambodia, each castaway took turns eating Cambodian delicacies in order to try to score a point for their tribe. Just like in her original season, Kimmi Kappenberg of Bayon struggled due to being vegetarian. After an extremely close match, Bayon scored the winning point, earning them immunity.
