## Reward

**Challenge:** *11-Mile Hike*

While bringing all their supplies, the tribes must race through the Guatemalan jungle to reach a Mayan pyramid. First to reach the ruins wins reward.

**Reward:** The winning tribe will live at the ruins and will also receive a piece of flint.

**Winner:** Nakúm

## Reward/Immunity

**Challenge:** *Paddle Battle*

Using their canoes, the tribes would paddle out to buoys in the lake to retrieve a torch hung from each buoy. Racing back to shore, four members would run to the top of the hill and begin hauling up the canoe with a rope.

The remaining tribe members would rotate logs underneath the canoe, allowing it to roll up the hill, much like the technique the Maya used to move large items.

Once the canoe passed a finish line, each tribe's remaining member would run to the top of the hill with the torch and light the victory cauldron. First tribe to light the cauldron wins Immunity.

**Additional Stipulation:** If Yaxhá wins, they would get flint.

**Winner:** Yaxhá

## Reward

**Challenge:** *Web Over Water*

The tribes race one member at a time up a ramp and onto a rope spider web where there are eight bags for each tribe.

Crawling underneath the web, they need to retrieve a bag. Once they have one, they must jump into the water below the net and make their way back to the start.

The first tribe to retrieve all eight bags wins reward.

**Reward:** Fishing supplies

**Winner:** Nakúm

## Immunity

**Challenge:** *Dragged Through Mud*

Both tribes are attached to each other by a rope and must pull their way to the edge of the field to claim a tribe flag.

Tribe members are free to stop pulling themselves at any time to physically interfere with their opponents' progress.

If after 15 minutes neither tribe has retrieved a flag, the challenge will change to one-on-one showdowns between each tribe.

Each showdown will last 5 minutes, with the person closer to the flag by the end of each match scoring a point for their tribe.

The first tribe to score three points wins.

**Winner:** Nakúm

## Reward

**Challenge:** *Blind Build*

Scattered around the jungle are nine bundles of materials.

One person would guide three groups of blindfolded players (each tied together, in two pairs and one group of three) to collect the bundles.

After collecting the bundles, they must construct an archeological tent. The first tribe to complete the tent and get on their tribe mat wins.

**Reward:** Pillows, blankets, and tarp

**Winner:** Nakúm

## Immunity

**Challenge:** *Holding Court*

Tribes would compete on an elevated court playing Mayan Courtball.

They would compete in threesomes to pass the ball to each other to shoot at a target on the other side of the court.

If a competitor caught the ball, they couldn't walk; they had to pass.

If they did walk, they had to give the ball to the other tribe. First tribe to five points wins.

**Winner:** Nakúm

## Immunity

**Immunity Challenge:** *Rows And Throws*

Both tribes must paddle out and retrieve three of their tribe-colored bags, then race back to shore.

Once back, they must untie the bags and dump them into a basket.

Inside each bag are Mayan war clubs, which they must then throw at three different tiles.

The first tribe to break all three tiles wins immunity.

**Winner:** Yaxhá

## Reward

**Challenge:** *Slave To The Grind*

Both tribes race to station 1, where one tribe member cuts a rope with a sharp stone.

Once they cut through the rope, they will release two handles that they will take with them to the second station.

At station 2, a different tribe member will chop through a log to a second rope, and once both the log and rope are cut, they will release two more handles.

They take the four handles with them, then four different tribe members will race up a platform and put them into a turnstile and begin cranking it, bringing a cart up the hill.

The six tribe members that have competed get into the cart, and the final tribe member cuts the final rope, releasing the cart down the hill.

The first tribe to the finish wins reward.

**Reward:** Chips, drinks, and a croc-proof swimming cage

**Winner:** Yaxhá

## Immunity

**Challenge:** *What's For Launch?*

Each tribe divides themselves into two groups of three.

Each group spreads out into the field, holding a Mayan catch net.

The last member from each tribe will alternate launching balls for the groups in the field to try to catch.

The first tribe with five catches wins immunity.

**Winner:** Nakúm

## Reward

**Challenge:** *Boulder Smash*

Each tribe has two members on opposite sides of a giant ball.

Both teams push the ball and try to get it past their own goal line.

The first tribe to make three goals wins reward and a shot at Individual Immunity.

**Reward:** Barbecue items, including a grill, burgers, beer, and root beer, as well as the right to compete in an individual Immunity Challenge.

**Winner:** Nakúm

## Immunity

**Challenge:** *Sudden Death*

The castaways would race into a field to collect three bags containing letter tiles.

Each time they untie a bag, they must bring it back to their station.

Once they have collected all three bags they would untie them and start working on the two-word phrase.

The first person to solve the phrase correctly wins immunity.

**Winner:** Rafe Judkins

## Reward

**Challenge:** *Spooling Around*

Four tribe members will wrap thirty feet of cloth around their bodies, then unwrap themselves as they make their way toward the finish.

The first person moves around a pole, unspooling the material around them.

The first person then clips themselves to the second person, and together they run around the second pole, unspooling it around the both of them.

They continue this pattern for the third and fourth person.

When they make their way down, each person will get unspooled at different times, and when they do, they will make their way to the finish mat.

The first team to make it to the finish mat wins reward.

**Reward:** A chocolate feast and a zipline canopy tour of the Guatemalan jungles.

**Winner:** Yaxhá

## Immunity

**Challenge:** *Tomb Raider*

Three members from each tribe race out one at a time to retrieve large puzzle pieces buried in the sand pit.

Once they find one they run back and place it on their mat.

Once all twelve pieces are found, two other tribe members will assemble the puzzle.

The first tribe to correctly put it together wins immunity.

**Winner:** Nakúm

**Immunity Challenge:** *Pot Head*

Each castaway would stand on a wooden cube with a pottery pot on their head. If they dropped their pot, they would be out.

If there is no winner after an hour, the remaining castaways would race up the ruins to the top. If they dropped their pot during the race, they would be out.
The first one to the top without breaking their pot wins.

**Additional Stipulation:** The castaways were given the option to sit out of the challenge and eat the merge feast instead of competing.

**Winner:** Gary Hogeboom
