Challenges[]
Episode 26[]
Challenge: In The Barrel
In teams of three, one member will be inside a barrel, while the other two members will roll the barrel up and into a series of stands with special barrel-shaped cradles. There are three cradles in all and they are arranged in a zig-zag pattern along the course. At two stands, the person in the barrel will climb onto the barrel and untie a bag of balls, while at a third stand, the barrel dweller will have to pull a bar out of a spiral. At the end of the course, the person who was inside the barrel will open the bags to retrieve two balls and navigate them across a maze of gutters into a basket to score a point. The first tribe to score five points wins reward.
Reward: Food supplies (corn cobs, five tomatoes, 1 kg of rice, 2.5 kg of pasta, 250 g of salt, 1/2 kg of sugar, and 1/2 kg of coffee).
Winner: Toros
Challenge: Log Jam
In one-on-one matches, one member of each tribe will compete in a log-rolling competition. During the first moments, the castaways will be able to hold on to a rope with one hand until the rope is released. The person who stays on the log longer than their opponent scores a point for their tribe. For the last rounds, the tribes would face each other in two-on-two matches without holding on to the ropes. The first tribe to score six points wins reward.
Reward: A barbecue prepared by a chef, consisting of two churrasco steaks, a rib eye steak, and vegetables, for each member of the tribe.
Winner: Toros (reward stolen by Natalia Barquet and given to Leones)
Episode 27[]
Challenge: Blind Leading the Blind
Divided in pairs, one person from each tribe will be the caller, while the other member is blindfolded. The caller, using only verbal commands, will need to lead their tribemate to three bags of puzzle pieces. Once they have all three bags, the caller will lead their still blindfolded tribemate to a puzzle station and lead them to solve a puzzle. Once the puzzle is correctly assembled, the caller will lead their blindfolded tribemate to a flag which they must raise to score a point. The first tribe to score four points wins reward.
Reward: Chilaquiles and soft drinks.
Winner: Toros
Challenge: In teams of three, one member will be at the top of a tower and place four wooden poles on a wagon, then push the wagon so that it goes down a rail until it hits a sand barrier. The other two team members will retrieve and transport the poles to a zipline. Once the poles have been lowered down the zipline, the castaways will place them in a respective station. At the end of the course, one team member will go up a little tower and will have to land three stakes in three slots by dropping them from the heights to score a point. The first tribe to score five points wins reward.
Reward: Two banana and hazelnut cream crêpes, a cup of coffee, and a loved ones' video, for each member of the tribe.
Winner: Leones
Episode 28[]
Reward Challenge #5: Victory in the Bag
Divided in pairs, the castaways must race out to a rope bridge, using another rope for support. Once both are across the bridge and made it to shore, they must dig up a bag of sandbags, and one of them must attempt to land one sandbag on five elevated platforms of different sizes to score a point. The first tribe to score seven points wins reward.
Reward: A refrigerator full of food to use for a week.
Winner: Leones
Episode 29[]
Challenge: Take the Reins
Each castaway will hold up a pair of ropes tethered to a disc on which they will balance a ball. At regular intervals, they will move their hands farther back on the rope, making it more difficult to keep their balance. If they drop their ball, they are out. At random points during the challenge, the host would tempt the castaways with food items. The last person left standing from each tribe wins immunity.
Winners: Fharid Sámano and Aarón Albores
Challenge: Dirty Water Dog / House of the Holey
Divided in pairs, the castaways will climb up a platform and jump off it, while grabbing a baton. Once they have both grabbed a baton, they will swim under a net and then one of them will climb up the net. At the top of the net, they will place the batons in a bag and grab a key. Once the member at the top has climbed down from the net, they will both swim out of the water and open a chest containing two balls, each member of the pair will have to navigate a ball through a maze in the shape of a snake. Once they both get their balls into the hole at the top of the maze, they will score a point for their tribe. The first tribe to score six points wins reward.
Reward: Snacks and candies.
Winner: Leones
Episode 30[]
Challenge: Lock Step
Divided in pairs, the castaways will be tethered to each other as they make their way across a series of obstacles. They will start at the top of a multi-level tower by descending and running to a overhanging net, from which they will pull down three sandbags by pushing them with their hands from underneath the net. Once they retrieve the sandbags, they will place them in a basket, which will generate a counterweight that will open a small gate. They will then go through the gate and continue their way through more obstacles, having to retrieve a bag with balls at one point. At the end of the course, they will have to toss balls over a net wall into three baskets. Once they get a ball into each basket, they will score a point for their tribe. The first tribe to score five points wins immunity.
Winner: Leones
Challenge: Push Me, Pull You
Each nominee will have two metal handles that they will use to keep tension on a steel bar. If they release the tension, the steel bar will drop and break a tile below them. The first person whose steel bar drops will be eliminated.
Winners: Jessica Farjat and Sergio Torres
