Each person will use a series of very small paddles to maneuver a ball through a series of obstacles. If at any point the ball drops, they will have to go back to the start. The first person to transfer three balls wins.
History[]
United States[]
The challenge made its debut in San Juan del Sur as the final five Immunity Challenge. Keith Nale had previously won an advantage of practicing the challenge earlier. This allowed him to easily finish the challenge, with no one else coming close, to win individual immunity.
The challenge returned in Game Changers, again as the final five Immunity Challenge. Though Sarah Lacina and Troyzan Robertson came close to the final obstacle on several occasions, only Brad Culpepper managed to get his balls to the end, winning immunity.
Australia[]
This challenge was modified for use as a tribal Immunity Challenge in Blood v Water. The Water tribe attempted to throw the challenge to finish their hit on Ben Watson, which was thwarted by a Mock Vote at their previous Tribal Council. Their deliberate futility paid off, giving Blood the victory.
South Africa[]
The challenge appeared as a Reward Challenge immediately following the second tribe switch on Island of Secrets. Sa'ula and Ta'alo were evenly matched, placing their first ball at almost the same time. However, Sa'ula lost momentum after fumbling their second ball, giving Ta'alo a chance to surge ahead. Despite making a mistake at the final obstacle, Ta'alo quickly recovered and landed their third and final ball, winning the dissolved Laumei tribe's past bounty as well as a bag of rice.
