BALLS INTO HOLES

A SURVIVOR CLASSIC

 

[OceanicAir]

I see getting his partner blindsided did wonders for Peter's ego. Also, reward challenge before title sequence?

BALLS INTO HOLES

A SURVIVOR CLASSIC

I'm waiting for the day when there's a challenge where you have to complete a puzzle, and then completing the puzzle gets you a set of keys which you use to unlock balls, which you then have to use to throw at other things.

 

[peteykirch]

Tai looks like an alien covered in sand

 

[matthewwhatever]

And suddenly it transforms from Survivor to Hard Labour.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Wow, I can't believe how long this is taking them.

 

[llehuty]

Well, damn!

45 minutes.

 

[redhood56]

Ski ball to end the challenge. Huh.

 

[peteykirch]

Penner would've found all 3 in 45 seconds

 

[matthewwhatever]

Whats up with Jason's shoulders? Does he have bandages on his sunburns?

 

[Grexeno]

Whats up with Jason's shoulders? Does he have bandages on his sunburns?

Yeah, looks like it.

 

[ultron87]

Jesus. Brought in the back hoe to bury these things.

 

[llehuty]

And all this for a shitty reward.

 

[Grexeno]

All this for coffee, which would have been hot!

WELCOME TO CAMBODIA

IT'S FUCKING HOT

 

[vypek]

And all this for a shitty reward.

Yeah, during the elapsed 45 minutes I wouldn't be too surprised if one team had just decided to call it quits and conserve their energy for later.

 

[FaintColt388301]

Seriously, why?

Definitely not worth it. 45 minutes is way too long for this.

 

[kirblar]

Would not be surprised if they let them have water canteens during future challenges this season.

 

[FaintColt388301]

They probably also wanted to work in the challenge just so they can go back to camp and be done with this.

 

[peteykirch]

Here's a tip. Don't sign up to be on Survivor if you're post menopausal and weigh about 88 pounds. Odds are you could drop dead.

 

[redhood56]

No the bromance!

 

[Jarrod38]

Should learn from the best.

 

[OceanicAir]

How did they think this was a good idea? There was a video showing the dream team doing this tasks but they had flags where the balls were.

 

[Grexeno]

Caleb is going to die for that win.

 

[Yado]

Jeff is loving this

 

[mmazurkiewicz]

Holy shit. Everyone is dead.

 

[matthewwhatever]

Yeesh, this was a bleak challenge.

 

[Grexeno]

That's definitely hyperventilation.

 

[redhood56]

Holy shit

 

[vypek]

Here's a tip. Don't sign up to be on Survivor if you're post menopausal and weigh about 88 pounds. Odds are you could drop dead.

IDK. Doesn't seem to be going to well for the healthier younger man and woman.

Absolutely brutal challenge

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

This is completely brutal. Wow. Everyone at once.

 

[Kifimbo]

At this point, this was irresponsible.

 

[llehuty]

And all this for the stupidest reward ever.

And why is the camera people not saying anything about the girl for a long while?

 

[Grexeno]

You can now see cameras and mics in the shot.

All pretense of this not being a TV show has vanished.

 

[lamaroo]

Holy fuck

 

[Jarrod38]

I know no one died but fuck man that is pretty close.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

You can now see cameras and mics in the shot.

All pretense of this not being a TV show has vanished.

They even had all of the crew rushing out on camera.

This is completely unprecedented.

And just brutal. Three people needing medical attention at once.

 

[Krogan]

Reminds me of Season 11 after that trek through the jungle most of the guys were out on their ass tired.

 

[Spizz]

That better be the best damn coffee ever created.

 

[peteykirch]

IDK. Doesn't seem to be going to well for the healthier younger man and woman.

Absolutely brutal challenge

Caleb and the girl on Brawn at least looked to be exerting themselves and thus I can see why they have completely broken down.

 

[Delio]

Um wow :/

 

[Velcro Fly]

Ok this is a little bit ridiculous

 

[Kifimbo]

The most insane part is Cydney and Caleb are among the fittest people there.

 

[t-storm]

Didn't they film in the same location last season? Curious as to why this didn't happen with the second chances cast.

 

[Grexeno]

Caleb was in the military. He served in Iraq.

This challenge about digging up bags to throw balls in holes has killed him.

 

[kirblar]

S31 was filmed 2 months later w/ 10 degrees less heat and the last people left still came back looking like skeletons.

This location definitely can't be treated like a normal one- this is awful.

 

[t-storm]

S31 was filmed 2 months later w/ 10 degrees less heat and the last people left still came back looking like skeletons.

Ah.

 

[OceanicAir]

This is ridiculous. Needle in a haystack challenges don't need to be done in the heat.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Jesus Christmas this is tense. Both their bodies look like they're just shutting down. I figure this episode will be someone getting medevaced and then no tribal.

 

[vypek]

Caleb and the girl on Brawn at least looked to be exerting themselves and thus I can see why they have completely broken down.

Yeah, thats true

 

[SecretMoblin]

there has to be a balance between massive feasts as a reward for every challenge and whatever this is

at a certain point it's just not ok, and certainly not entertaining, to be doing this to them
