Chimney Sweep
Recurring Survivor Challenge
Description:	A recurring endurance challenge
Appearances:	Fiji Tocantins Heroes vs. Villains Redemption Island

Chimney Sweep is a recurring endurance challenge on Survivor. It debuted in Survivor: Fiji and later re-appeared in Survivor: Tocantins, Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, and Survivor: Redemption Island.

Rules

The castaways would brace themselves with their arms between two walls while standing barefoot on two foot pegs. Every 15 minutes, the castaways would move down to smaller foot pegs. When the castaways reached the third set of foot pegs, they would try to remain on them as long as they could. The last castaway to remain on their pegs would win.

History

Yau-Man Chan was the first contestant to win this challenge when it appeared as the first individual Immunity Challenge in episode 10 "It's a Turtle?!" of Survivor: Fiji. After more than one hour, Yau-Man became the last man standing by outlasting Boo Bernis, winning individual immunity.

J.T. Thomas won the challenge after a close fought battle with Coach Wade after over 50 minutes when it reappeared as the final five Immunity Challenge in Survivor: Tocantins.

The Villains tribe won a feast at an Outback steakhouse after winning this challenge over the Heroes tribe when it was set up as a head-to-head tribal Reward Challenge in Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains.

Matt Elrod won this Redemption Island duel most recently in Survivor: Redemption Island against his Redemption Island opponent, Sarita White, allowing him to re-enter the game.
