## Challenges

**Reward/Immunity Challenge:** *The Gauntlet*
One tribe member at a time would have to cross an obstacle course of stepping stones suspended by ropes, rotating barrels, a balance beam, a floating bridge, and a net to retrieve a flag. The tribe member would then have to cross back with the flag thus scoring a point for their tribe. Two tribe members would be assigned to run the course. Two other tribe members would try to knock the opposing tribe's runner from the course into a water pit by swinging canvas bags at them. If the tribe member fell off the course, they would have to return to the start and the other runner would have to make an attempt. The first tribe to collect five flags would win the challenge.

## The Twist

The tribes gather and everyone is asked to stand on a disc: men on the light ones, women on the dark ones. Jörmungandr and Sleipnir are no more. Two captains are randomly selected from each gender: Ashley and Amy from the women and Frits and Dawit from the men.

Each leader will start a schoolyard pick from their group. If possible, the choice will be from a tribe not yet represented in their selected group. Following the schoolyard pick, each captain will be randomly paired with another captain to form a new tribe. Amy and Dawit will form the new Aegir, Ashley and Frits will form the new Fenrir.

## Challenges

**Immunity Challenge:** *Steeple Chase*
While harnessed together, the two tribes must wade around an oval course while carrying a fifteen-pound backpack each. Players can drop out of the challenge at will, but they must give their pack to someone before unclipping themselves from the rope. The first tribe to catch the opponent and tackle one of their members wins.

**Additional Stipulation:** The winning tribe will banish one member from the losing tribe to Exile Island. This member will skip Tribal Council.

## Survivor

### *Madagascar*

On *Canadian Survivor: Madagascar*, Yeon was a member of the Tanala tribe. A small fight with Bei Ping on Day 2 foreshadowed tension that would continue on Day 8 with a major altercation, leaving a lasting impact on their relationship. Despite the conflicts, on Day 6, Yeon aligned with the tribe consensus, voting out Tedros Tekle for tribal strength. However, Day 10 brought a pivotal moment when Yeon was excluded from the tribe swap, landing her on Exile Island due to Lolita Reynolds' decision. During her time on Exile Island, Yeon opted for comfort over an idol clue, receiving a semi-lavish shelter and a fruit basket for three days.

Returning to the game on Day 13, Yeon faced new dynamics as she joined Betsileo to balance the tribes. Day 20 showcased Yeon's resilience as she won Individual Immunity at the Double Tribal Council, also granting Sir Inoussa immunity. Despite targeting Lyndsay Kingston on Day 21, alliances shifted, and the vote turned on Judy Rouault. The "Fake-Merge" on Day 22 shuffled tribes once more, reuniting Yeon with original Tanala tribemates, Kozo Sugino and Tyler Habermann. Day 27 brought a major fight with Lyndsay, and although Yeon initially targeted Bei, she ultimately voted with them to eliminate Kozo. However, a surprising idol play by Kozo led to Lyndsay's blindside, preserving Yeon's position in the game. On Day 30, the tribe united to vote out Yeon, perceiving her as a major challenge threat and seizing their first opportunity to eliminate her from the competition. This strategic move marked the end of Yeon's Canadian Survivor journey on Day 30.

#### Voting History

**^1**  In Episode 3, Yeon was not selected by a tribe at the tribe-switch and was sent to Exile Island, granting her immunity from Tribal Council.
**^2**  In Episode 08, Kozo used a Hidden Immunity Idol, negating Yeon's vote against him.
