Challenges
Reward/Immunity Challenge: Wrist Assured Castaways hold on to a handle with a rope wrapped around it. At the end of the rope is a bucket that contains 20% of the survivors' pre-game starting weight. As the challenge progresses, the rope will begin to unspool, making it harder to keep the bucket in the air. If a survivor could loses enough grip, an overhead will tip over, dousing the poor player in water, eliminating him/her from the challenge. The last castaway remaining in the challenge wins. Reward: Last person from both genders standing win individual immunity. However, the challenge would go on until there is one survivor standing, who would win individual reward: A clue to a new Hidden Immunity Idol. Winner: TBA
