Craziest Challenge Moments

Both Immunity and reward challenges are some of the best moments in the game. Here are some of my favorites.

Fastest Puzzle Solve

Evvie saw the puzzle on a previous season of Survivor and made the puzzle and practiced it at home. To her surprise, the same puzzle was used in the season she competed in allowing her to solve the puzzle in just seconds.

Noelle Wins

Noelle only has one leg. In a challenge where she had to walk across a zig zag balance beam she fell very behind but came back to win the challenge and providing one of the most inspiring moments in the history of Survivor.

Christian's Monologue

Christian knew that the only challenge he was likely going to win was going to be an endurance challenge. In the challenge in order to make his opponent lose his consentration, he monologued for over 2 hours about a scientific study he was the head of back home where he works as a scientist. The monologue ended up helping him secure the win.

Contestants Outlast the Challenge

In a classic survivor challenge where contestants are stuck underneath a steel grate in the middle of the ocean. Karla and Owen outlasted the challenge by staying in it until the tide went away and for the first time in Survivor history, two contestants won immunity because they outlasted the challenge.

Jonathan Pulls His Team To Victory

Jonathan from season 42 was an absolute beast. In one challenge he literally pulled his entire team through the ocean and led them to victory.

What About the Big Girls?

In this endurance challenge, Karla proved that women are just as strong as men.

Mike Holloway

Even though everyone on the tribe wanted to vote Mike out, he ended up winning 9 immunity challenges in a row and ended up winning the title of Sole Survivor.

Broken Ankle

Despite having a broken ankle from the previous challenge, Missy competed in the immunity challenge and ended up making it to the finale.

Scared of Heights?

If you are scared of heights, you better hope you don't have to do this challenge. Perched on a pole high up above the ocean, this challenge is not for weak at heart.
