Challenge: 1 player on each tribe has to fill a small bucket with water and throw it to 2 other players, who then throw it to another player who fills up a bowl with the water.

First tribe to 8 points wins.

Episode 4[]

Immunity

Challenge: One player from each tribe would have to slide down a waterslide. After it, they'll have to grab a huge wheel and wear it on themselves, then run forward while spinning to untangle themselves, as the wheel is tied to the ground. After the wheel, the players would have to cross a balance beam. After three balance beams, the players would put on and untie another wheel, then get up on a platform with balls on it. The players would have to get one ball to bounce off of a big block in front of the platform and land in a basket. They would also have to do this with one basket that is slightly farther away. First tribe to eight points wins.
Winner: The episode ended on a cliffhanger
