Crocodile Rock

Crocodile Rock (also known as Under Pressure) is a recurring endurance challenge in Survivor. It originated in and reappeared in and .
==Rules==
Castaways must push upwards on a bar, with which they must try to keep a ball wedged between a set of jaws. If they release the bar, the lower jaw will fall, causing their ball to fall out. Once their ball falls, they are out. The last person remaining wins.
In Australian Survivor and Koh-Lanta, a variation of the challenge was used such that the castaways will hold onto a handle with a single hand. Additionally, the castaways compete in the water instead of on land as in the original American version of the challenge.
==History==
===United States===

The last person standing on both teams would win immunity, and the last person standing overall would win reward for their team the right to vote second. Chelsea Townsend beat out Angela Perkins to win immunity on the purple team. However, Chelsea dropped out soon afterwards, giving the orange team the right to vote second. After nearly 45 minutes, Domenick Abbate outlasted Wendell Holland to win immunity on the orange team.
The challenge would later reappear in , where before the challenge, host Jeff Probst offered the castaways breakfast food in exchange for not competing in the challenge. Most of the Lumuwaku tribe decided to sit out, with only Elizabeth Beisel, Karishma Patel, and Noura Salman choosing to compete. Karishma dropped out almost immediately after the challenge began. Noura ultimately outlasted Elizabeth to win immunity.
The challenge appeared again at the Double Elimination of , where the Gaia tribe was divided into two teams of five, each of which would attend a separate Tribal Council. The last person standing on both teams would win immunity, and the last person standing overall would win a reward of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for their team, as well as the right to vote second. Karla Cruz Godoy won the challenge on the blue team before dropping out soon after, while Cody Assenmacher won the challenge on the red team. As the overall winner, Cody won the reward for his red team.
