A Do-It-Yourself Challenge is a Reward Challenge in which there is no supervision from host Jeff Probst. This means that the contestants must conduct the challenge by themselves.

History[]

United States[]

South Africa[]

At the final eleven of Island of Secrets, two members of the Manumalo tribe, Cobus Hugo and Nicole Capper, were sent to the Island of Secrets by a random draw. There, they had the chance to win individual immunity in a head-to-head duel. The two were challenged to solve a tangram puzzle. Cobus handily defeated Nicole to win immunity.

At the final eight of Island of Secrets, Mmaba Molefe and Steffi Brink competed in a game of "Connect Four" for an advantage in the game. Mmaba defeated Steffi in all three rounds of the challenge and received a clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol, which she was informed would be placed in the urn at Tribal Council.
