Reward or immunityDebuted Season 18
Catch balls as they spit out of a spiraling metal track and feed them back in — with one hand tied behind your back — as more balls are added over time. Drop one and you're eliminated.
Blind Leading the Blind
Reward or immunity
One sighted caller per tribe stands on a platform and shouts directions to blindfolded teammates, steering them around a maze-like course to collect scattered pieces — then the whole tribe solves a puzzle.
Stacked Up
Reward or immunityDebuted Season 32
Standing on a wobbling balance beam, use a long-handled fork to ferry stacks of balls across and set them on a series of stands. Topple the stack and you start over; finish first to win.
