Wrist Assured (also known as Water Weight) is a recurring endurance challenge of Survivor.

Rules[]

Castaways hold on to a handle with a rope wrapped around it. At the end of the rope is a bucket that contains a percentage of the contestant's body weight before the game began. The last castaway remaining in the challenge wins.

History[]

United States[]

The challenge first appeared in Philippines as the first Immunity Challenge after the merge, where the last man and the last woman standing would win. Carter Williams outlasted Jeff Kent to win immunity for the men and Denise Stapley outlasted Abi-Maria Gomes to win immunity for the women.

In Blood vs. Water, the players were given a choice of whether to eat or compete. Ciera Eastin, Gervase Peterson, and Tyson Apostol opted to eat, while the other four chose to partake in the challenge. In a tight struggle to win, Monica Culpepper ended up beating Hayden Moss, winning her third Immunity Challenge since the merge.

The challenge was again reused in Worlds Apart, when the last man and the last woman standing would be given immunity. After a close battle between Carolyn Rivera and Shirin Oskooi for the women and Mike Holloway and Rodney Lavoie Jr. for the men, Carolyn and Mike won immunity and were safe at the next Tribal Council.

This challenge was used in Survivor 43 as the final stage of Eve 6, where the teams of Owen Knight & Mike Gabler and Cody Assenmacher & Dwight Moore earned the right to compete. Dwight dropped out of the challenge early, followed eventually by Owen. Gabler dedicated each minute he stayed in the challenge to his friends, patients, marriage, dog, Noelle Lambert, and the states of Idaho and Alaska; Cody instead found motivation in a wrestling match he lost in high school. After a record-breaking 37 minutes, Gabler won immunity after Cody lost his grip while trying to reel up his bucket.

Australia[]

The challenge was used in Blood v Water as the first Immunity Challenge after the merge. Ultimately, Jesse Hansen defeated his fellow Lava tribe members to claim individual immunity.
