Walk the Plank (also known as Plankan/Planken) is a recurring challenge in foreign-language versions of Survivor and is an iconic challenge of the Scandinavian Expedition Robinson format. The challenge made its first English-language appearance in Survivor: Borneo, and re-appeared internationally in Survivor Africa: Panama and Survivor South Africa: Panama.
Rules[]
The contestants will stand on a bundle of planks; at regular intervals, one plank will be removed until the contestants are balancing on only one plank. The last person left standing wins.

In Survivor South Africa: Panama, the final four competed for the first of two seats in the Final Two. Additionally, the first person to fall off will automatically be eliminated from the game and join the jury. After 30 minutes, Zayn Nabbi fell shortly after the last plank was removed. After 2 hours, Mzi Tyhokolo lost his balance while trying to make a deal with Jacinda Louw. In the end, after 3 hours and 45 minutes, Vanessa Marawa outlasted Jacinda to win the challenge, leaving Jacinda and Mzi to duel in the next challenge for a spot in the finals.
