New Tribe Member (also known as Gulliver's Travels) is a recurring physical challenge which debuted in Survivor: Thailand. It has since appeared in Survivor: Nicaragua.
Rules
The tribes would have to untie a tall dummy (acting as their "new tribe member"). The tribes must then navigate the dummy through an obstacle course. The first tribe to cross the finish line wins.
History
The challenge debuted in "Gender Bender" of Survivor: Thailand. The first tribe to navigate their dummy across the island won reward. Sook Jai won the challenge for ripe bananas and chickens.
The challenge re-appeared in "You Started, You're Finishing" of Survivor: Nicaragua. The nine castaways were split into two teams of four for this challenge, with one person not being picked. The first team to navigate their dummy (known as "Gulliver") across the island won reward.
