A Leg Up

A Leg Up (also known as Free Will and Gimme One Step) is a recurring endurance challenge in Survivor.
==Rules==
Castaways must balance a ceramic vase on the end of a balance beam with one leg. When they can no longer take the pain or lose their balance, their vase will drop and shatter, eliminating them from the challenge. The last person with an intact vase would win. In , castaways balanced a ball instead of a vase on a circular platform.

The challenge reappeared in , as the final duel between Tina Wesson, Laura Morett, and Hayden Moss. Laura M. struggled throughout the challenge, though Hayden was the first out. Laura M. asked Tina to throw the challenge to her, but the latter said no. Laura M. dropped out second, giving Tina the win and allowing her to re-enter the game.
It reappeared as the final eight Reward Challenge in . In a twist, the castaways would only have to outlast the castaways who have chosen the same type of reward as them. Joe del Campo dropped out quickly, allowing Julia Sokolowski to win her letter from home. Michele Fitzgerald was able to outlast Kyle Jason and Scot Pollard to win beer and a plate of food. Finally, Tai Trang outlasted Cydney Gillon and Aubry Bracco to win an advantage, which was later revealed to be an Extra Vote.

In , the challenge appeared as a combined Reward/Immunity Challenge; as part of the twist, the last person standing will also win reward and immunity for their partner. 20 minutes into the challenge, a gust of wind knocked over most of the remaining castaways, leaving Amy Eliason and Nicole Wilmans to battle it out for immunity. After 1 hour 30 minutes, Amy was taken out by a leg cramp, giving Nicole her first individual immunity win and also affording immunity to Nicole's partner Anela Majozi.
