Day 39[]
Challenges[]
Challenge: Crystal Method
Each player would be standing on top of a pole up high above the water. They would have a bucket with holes in it to fill a bamboo shoot to lift a set of keys. After collecting the keys, they would have to swim back to shore to unlock a box of ladder rungs. All of the rungs are individually shaped. The contestants must place the rungs in the correct position to build a ladder. The first player to climb the ladder and use the axe at the top to cut her flag wins.
Winner: Amanda Kimmel
Challenge: The Ball Drop
Castaways must balance a small metal ball on a wooden cylinder, while holding the center cylinder in place with two wooden handles. Every five minutes, new pieces will be added on either end, making it harder to balance the ball on the center cylinder. The castaway who balances their ball the longest wins.
Winner: Amanda Kimmel
