Rock n' Roll

Rock n' Roll (also known as Lemme Go Rock n' Roll, Boulder Dash, Keep Digging, Rollings Stones, and No Quarter) is a tribal teamwork challenge that originated in , and was later reused in , , , and .
==Rules==
Tribes must work to navigate a large boulder through a series of checkpoints, whilst accomplishing small tasks along the way (such climbing the boulder to collect keys). The first tribe to get their boulder onto their designated pedestal wins the challenge.
In and , the challenge made use of the vast, undulating terrain in the African plains to create a long course. In , , and , the challenge was played in a small field, with several man-made obstacles, a large tower, and a puzzle component instead adding to the difficulty.
==History==
=== United States ===
The challenge debuted in as a Reward Challenge. The tribes worked to navigate the ball through natural obstacles, with tribes collecting flags along the way. The tribes started out relatively even, but Samburu lost control of their boulder and veered off-course twice, allowing Boran to win their first challenge.
The challenge reappeared in , where it was used as a combined Reward/Immunity Challenge. In addition to maneuvering the boulder through a series of gates, the tribe had to collect two keys suspended in the air (requiring a tribe member to climb onto the boulder to retrieve them) which was used to unlock a series of chains that blocked the final gate. In a neck-and-neck race, Kota barely edged out Fang to win immunity, sending Fang back to Tribal Council.
In , the challenge appeared as the inaugural Earn the Merge challenge. Two teams had to dig up a their boulder partially submerged in sand, then roll it along the course, with one member climbing atop the boulder to retrieve two sets of keys. At the end of the course, teams had to use the ball to help scale a tower, use the keys to unlock a sliding word puzzle at the top, then solve the puzzle. A huge disparity in physical strength between the two randomly-selected teams allowed the blue team of Danny McCray, Deshawn Radden, Evvie Jagoda, Ricard Foyé, and Sydney Segal to easily win reward and immunity.
In , the same mechanics employed in Survivor 41 were reused, with the puzzle being changed to a 75-piece jigsaw instead of the sliding word puzzle in 41. Again, the teams were lopsided in challenge strength, allowing the orange team of Hai Giang, Jonathan Young, Lydia Meredith, Maryanne Oketch, and Tori Meehan to win the merge feast and passage into the merge.
In , the challenge reappeared as the Earn the Merge challenge. The final puzzle was changed to a tree puzzle. The two competing teams switched leads throughout the challenge, but in the end, Carson Garrett's past practice with the tree puzzle helped the purple team of himself, Brandon Cottom, Carolyn Wiger, Frannie Marin, Jaime Lynn Ruiz, and Matt Blankinship to pull off a clutch victory, granting them immunity at the first Tribal Council of the individual phase.
