Sea Legs

Sea Legs (also known as Set Adrift, Balance of Power, Bermuda Triangle, Bermuda Triangles, and Bermuda Triangles Case) is a recurring challenge involving balance that debuted in and has since reappeared in , , , , , , , , and .
==Rules==
Each castaway must balance on a floating platform at sea for as long as possible. Additional rule stipulations may require the contestants to remain in a specific position (such as a crouch, as in ) or may increase the difficulty in increments (from onwards). Since , the floating platform has standardized to a pyramid with narrow footholds on either side of the structure. In this variant known as Bermuda Triangles, the castaways will move upwards at regular intervals, increasing the difficulty. The last person left standing wins.
An additional stipulation in Cambodia mandated that any castaway who made it to the third and final stage must balance with only one foot, similar to an unofficial rule made by Andrea Boehlke and Brenda Lowe to help decide who between them would win the challenge in Caramoan.
==History==
=== United States ===
In , the challenge was the first individual Immunity Challenge after the merge. After an undisclosed amount of time, the challenge came down to John Carroll and Kathy Vavrick-O'Brien, with Kathy ultimately outlasting John after he accidentally touched his platform, giving her immunity.
In , the challenge appeared as the Final Immunity Challenge where the castaways had to balance on a platform at sea using only hands and feet. After Sandra Diaz-Twine fell early on, Jon Dalton repeatedly attempted to make a deal with Lillian Morris. However, Lillian rebuffed him each time, and after 2 hours and 45 minutes, Jon lost his concentration, giving Lillian the final immunity.
In , the challenge was again used as the Final Immunity Challenge. The castaways would balance on a larger platform and every fifteen minutes, would change for a smaller one. After 30 minutes Terry Deitz fell first when he had difficulty transitioning to the third platform. Aras Baskauskas and Danielle DiLorenzo then made a deal for a visibly struggling Aras to drop out and Danielle win if she took him to the end, giving Danielle immunity.
In , the castaways had to stand on triangular-shaped platforms and move up a foothold after regular intervals. At various points, host Jeff Probst tempted the castaways with food to drop out. After 3 hours, the challenge came down to Andrea Boehlke and Brenda Lowe. The two made ​​an agreement to stay on top of the platform with one foot to decide who would win. Brenda fell, giving Andrea immunity and a clue to a Hidden Immunity Idol.
In , the castaways had to move to the next highest foothold after 15 minutes. After 30 minutes, the transition to the top of the platform and a large gust of wind eliminated every castaway except for Tony Vlachos and Woo Hwang. In the end, Woo outlasted Tony to win immunity.
In , the challenge was played in heavy rain. At some point during the challenge, Jeff Probst offered the castaways an unspecified advantage (later revealed to be a Vote Steal) in the game if they jumped off their platform and be the first to reach their buoy. Stephen Fishbach outswam Spencer Bledsoe, earning the advantage. After 30 minutes, the remaining castaways were required to balance on only one foot, similar to Andrea Boehlke and Brenda Lowe's agreement in Caramoan. Shortly after, the challenge came down to Abi-Maria Gomes and Joe Anglim, with Joe outlasting Abi-Maria to win immunity.
In , the castaways were given the option to sit out of the challenge and feast on peanut butter and chocolate; Ben Driebergen, Devon Pinto, and Lauren Rimmer took this option. After over 20 minutes, the challenge came down to Ashley Nolan and Mike Zahalsky, with Ashley ultimately outlasting Mike to win immunity.
In , in addition to individual immunity, the winner would also get one Fire Token. After transitioning to the top of the platform at the 15 minute mark, several castaways dropped out, leaving only Ben Driebergen and Kim Spradlin-Wolfe. Ultimately, Kim outlasted Ben to win immunity and a Fire Token.
In , the challenge was used as the final ten Immunity Challenge ahead of the Double Elimination. The Kula Kula tribe was split into two teams of five, with the last person standing from each tribe winning immunity and the last person standing overall winning reward for their team. Because of strong winds and turbulent waters, much of the tribe dropped out within two minutes. Hai Giang outlasted Romeo Escobar to win immunity on the orange team, while Jonathan Young outlasted Lindsay Dolashewich to win immunity on the blue team. Jonathan then outlasted Hai, winning reward and the right for the blue team to vote second.
The challenge appeared once again ahead of the Double Elimination of under the same mechanics employed in Survivor 42. After half an hour, the castaways were instructed to continue the challenge on one foot. Shortly thereafter, Kenzie Petty outlasted Tiffany Nicole Ervin to win immunity on the orange team, but fell almost immediately after Tiffany, hence giving the purple team the reward. Eventually, Tevin Davis fell off his stand, allowing Maria Shrime Gonzalez to win individual immunity. As part of the reward, the purple team attended Tribal Council second, while the person voted out of the orange team would not become a member of the jury.
