Description:
A recurring physical challenge.
Battle Dig (also known as Water Slaughter ) is physical race challenge that originated in Survivor: Panama , and has subsequently appeared in Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains . A water-based version of the challenge was also used in Survivor: Caramoan .
Rules
For each tribe, a designated number of contestants will race out to a marked location and dig up a bag. The castaways then compete to return the bag to their tribe's mat. The first person to touch the tribe mat, with a hand on the bag, scores a point for their team. The first tribe to win a given number of rounds will win the challenge.
History
The challenge debuted in Survivor: Panama as a tribal immunity challenge, with the entire tribe competing simultaneously. The first tribe to score three bags won the challenge. Casaya won immunity.
The challenge was used as the first reward challenge in Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains . The challenge occurred immediately at the start of the game. Teams of two raced for each tribe, with the first tribe to reach three points winning. The Heroes tribe won the challenge (3-2), receiving flint. The challenge was notable for inflicting multiple injuries, with Stephenie LaGrossa dislocating her shoulder and Rupert Boneham breaking a toe.
In Survivor: Caramoan , a variation of this challenge was again used as the first reward challenge of the season. Adapted to an aquatic playing field, two members of each tribe would race to retrieve a buoy from one end of the course and return it to their tribe's pole. The Favorites tribe Bikal won the challenge (4-1), receiving flint and 20 pounds of beans.
