Challenges

Reward

Challenge: Shoulder the Load
Three members (two men and one woman) from each tribe will have a pole across their shoulders. Each round, weight (20 lbs.) will be added to each pole. The decision about which tribe member gets the weight will be made by the other tribe. When the weight becomes too much to bear, the tribe member will drop the pole and be out of the challenge. Last person left standing wins reward for their tribe.

Immunity

Challenge: Try-Any-Angle
One tribe member at a time would race along a winding path to retrieve a puzzle piece. Each puzzle piece is a large wooden triangular prism with letters written on each of the three faces. Once eight puzzle pieces are retrieved, they would need to be placed in their correct spot in a frame. The pieces would then need to be rotated to display a scrambled phrase. The first tribe to solve their puzzle would win.
Winner: Timbira

Trivia

• The reward challenge is a throwback to the immunity challenge used in "Me and My Snake". The same challenge is used in "Survivalism".
  • Both J.T. and Brendan matched the record of 220 lbs. held by Rupert Boneham in "Me and My Snake".
  • That record would later be broken by Jim Rice and Brandon Hantz, who both held 240 lbs. in "Survivalism".
• The immunity challenge is a variation of a challenge used in Survivor: Panama.

Quotes
