Changes: Operation Balance Build

Revision as of 03:42, 30 April 2017

Operation Balance Build is a recurring challenge of Survivor. It debuted in One World, and has since reappeared in Blood vs. Water and Millennials vs. Gen X.

Rules

The castaways have to attach a small wooden bowl to a prong at the end of a long pole to maneuver it through a metal structure. The structure is mounted on a spring in order to increase the difficulty. Once they have the piece through the structure, they have to sit it at the top. First castaway to stack all their bowls on top each other, or have the most bowls stacked by the end of the time limit win.

History

In Survivor: One World, the challenge was used as the Final Immunity Challenge, where Kim beat Chelsea, Christina, and Sabrina to win immunity.

In Survivor: Blood vs. Water, the challenge was the first Redemption Island duel, between Candice, Marissa, and Rupert. Candice and Rupert were close to finishing the duel when Rupert's stack toppled over. Candice cruised to finishing first, while Rupert was unable to recover, allowing Marissa to continue on.

In Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen X, the challenge was once again used the Final Immunity Challenge. After thirty minutes had elapsed, both Hannah and Ken had ten bowls stacked. After a second showdown, Ken managed to get seven bowls to Hannah's six, giving him the final immunity and a seat at Final Tribal Council.
