==Rules==
Under a time limit, tribe members dive into a mud pit and cover their body with as much mud as they can. They then race back and scrape it off into a bucket. They may only transport mud on their torso, and are not allowed to carry it with their arms or hands. The buckets are then weighed, and the castaway with the heaviest bucket wins.
==History==
=== United States ===
In , the contestants returned to the mud pit of old Pagong camp to compete for cold beer and a trip to a bar to watch the first five minutes of the season. The castaways had five minutes to fill their buckets. The winner was Kelly Wiglesworth.
In , the castaways had to dive into a pool of mud and cross an obstacle in the way of return. The three castaways with the heaviest buckets after ten minutes would win a night at a spa. Ozzy Lusth, Parvati Shallow, and Yul Kwon won.
It appeared as the final five Reward Challenge in . After ten minutes, Tony Vlachos' bucket was literally overflowing with mud. Because of this, the other castaways agreed not to have the buckets weighed and Tony was deemed the winner.
