Not even final challenges but challenges in general this one takes the cake. It's very complex and interesting and fun to watch .And everyone really needs to win this so it works.

I liked the one Jenna M. won better, but this is still cool. I know if I ever had to do something like this, I'd be Cassandra.

I think the Battleship-type IC is the best. It's the one where players call out alphanumeric coordinates bringing down others' posts.

^That one's boring.
I love the maze challenges, especially the vertical one from Vanuatu. |

The challenges tonight were great, although I wish they had made the final IC a little less upper-body-strength-reliant.

It favors the lighter contestants. Like it always does. Any endurance they design always favors the smaller, lighter contestant.

I miss the balance beam.
And where were the knots? |

I actually was VERY impressed with the design of the maze, how it got harder and they were blindfolded.

I was impressed with the challenges we had this season. A lot of them were very memorable, and even the ones that were retreads were actually good challenges (mud wrestling, gross food)

I loved this one - and I thought for sure Yauo man had it.

Quote: Actually, I thought this one favoured Dreamz with his upper body strength. Yau Man, while lighter, didn't have much strength in his arms from what I could see. The earlier endurance challenge he won was quite different as they had footholds as well. |

The challenge may have been engineered particularly so that Dreamz would win, and so make for better TV when he had to fulfill his end of the bargain with Yau-Man.

Cassandra's hairy armpits forever ruined that last challenge for me...something I never, never, ever want to see again.

Quote: A 200 lb person vs a 100 lb person. Similar forearm development would mean that the 100 lb would have an advantage. Dreamz did have more developed forearms than Yau but because he was lighter, Yau outlasted Earl. |

Horse-girl...what was her name, Danielle? Anyways, she had the sickest woman pits of any Survivor ever! Serious, they'd been on the island for like, a couple weeks, and she had longer armpit hair than the guys! So don't be dissin' on Cassandra!

Quote: True, and that is why Cassandra was the first one out as well - less upper body strength & more weight to hold than Yau. As for Earl, he was older & not as buff as Dreamz and likely had more weight to hold up too. |

Here's an accurate map of the blindfolded Maze that Yau Man won, reproduced from looking at finale vidcaps. Note that each player needed to find their own drawbridge among the five available. Note that each successive drawbridge has the same color sequence, but shifted one position. For example, DreamZ (orange) first goes to the 3rd from the left drawbridge, then 2nd from the left, then 1st from the left, then wrap around to 5th from the left, and finally 4th from the left. That shortcut seems like something Yau Man would notice and figure out. :)
 For those who like other Maze challenges that have appeared on Survivor in the past, see pictures of the one Jenna M. won and the vertical one from Vanuatu. |

we have heard too many contestants say they could see when blindfolded. I think Yau man could see, he had his head tilted back a lot.
