Challenges

Reward

Challenge: For-Word Progress
The teams would race through a series of obstacles and then untie knots to release a drawbridge. They would then use a hatchet to chop a rope, which would release puzzle pieces.

Final Words

“	I came out here with three things to do: number one, have fun; number two, be remembered; number three, hopefully win this game. But as long as I made the first two, I'm still okay with that. That's just the way it goes. Every day I was here was a dream come true for me. I played a good game. I played a respectable game. I got no regrets.	”
— Dan Foley
