You Shook Me is a recurring dexterity challenge that debuted in Survivor: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers and has since reappeared in Island of the Idols.

Rules[]

Castaways must stack letter blocks on a wobbly platform to spell out designated words. When returning to their station to collect more blocks, they must first lock in their mechanism. If any blocks fall, they must lock in their mechanism before picking up the fallen blocks, return them to their station, and start over. The first castaway to correctly spell the designated words without any upside-down letters and lock in their mechanism wins.

History[]

United States[]

The challenge was first used as the Final Immunity Challenge in Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers, with the castaways having to spell out "Heroes", "Healers", and "Hustlers". Early on, Ben Driebergen placed all of his blocks on the platform and locked in his mechanism, but did not realize that he had an upside-down letter. The challenge came down to Ben and Chrissy Hofbeck, and when Ben's blocks fell while he attempted to lock in, Chrissy was able to swoop in and win her record-tying fourth immunity.

The challenge was again used as the Final Immunity Challenge in Island of the Idols, with the castaways having to spell out "Island of the Idols". In a neck and neck race to the finish between Dean Kowalski and Noura Salman, Dean's blocks fell, while Noura was able to finish spelling her words to win her third immunity.

The challenge was played for reward in Return of the Outcasts. In this appearance, the wobbly rack was rigged to a high-step obstacle, and the Salan tribe had to spell the season title. Phil Dickson beat Tejan Pillay to win a chicken schnitzel meal and a video call with his loved ones, as well as an advantage in the upcoming Immunity Challenge. Tejan then used his Reward Send Token to share in Phil's reward.
