The most torturous challenge is every single time they do a damn blindfold challenge, because they always have sharp wooden polls and railings that are crotch/shin high, and people ALWAYS get hurt.
As a lifeguard, I’d be so stressed watching the last gasp challenge. It so dangerous because so many things could go wrong, especially based on how determined the people who do it are.
I could never hook my limbs through the grates like some of them do. Especially whoever it was that had *both* of their legs through. I would be terrified of getting stuck.
@@drmayeda1930 honestly, to be even remotely safe they should have had rescue divers next to each contestant, but that would have broken the illusion. Messing with water is no joke
Honourable mention to that one challenge in David v Goliath when Christian pulled an Uno reverse and tortured Jeff (and Alec) by talking for 5 and a half hours
that was king shit and an incredibly smart strategy, nociception (pain processing) is greatly stunted when the mind is busied with another task, like talking until jeff probst hates u
I’d say of all the Survivor challenges the one I’d least like to take part in is the one where challenge is to see which tribe can remove the most pork off a pig using only their mouths. And the reward is... the chunks of spit laden pork you just spat in a bucket. Maybe not as physically torturous, but I’d way prefer the near drowning challenge to that one.
@@TheTNTMuffin I did find it a little amusing that they're so sore from it in South Pacific that Ozzy is STILL rubbing and cracking his jaw at the next Tribal Council, lol.
They used this as an individual challenge in the Swedish Survivor "Robinson" and one of the contestants lost/chipped his two top front teeth. It was honestly brutal since he got stuck to the pig in the process (they were hanging by a rope from a pole). *SPOILERS*: He ended up winning the challenge and also eventually the season. Such a sweet lad who I don't think ever would've won on American Survivor.
What makes the spit it out challenge worse (than it already is) is that after filling up the tube and the ball drops, the players remain strapped in it while waiting for their members to solve the puzzle. Two people are literally strapped diagonally with their heads down. WHAT A TORTURE
Now they are going to torture us fans with only 26 day season, 50% of the cast to be a minority and politically charged for season 41 and 42. That is torture that I won’t be watching
It won Sophie a million dollars. I'd gladly take 39 days with Coach over half that time with Russell Hantz. Or Brandon Hantz Or Colton Or Abi Maria Or Scot and Jaison Or Nora Or Brad Culpepper Or Phi... eh you know what I actually like Philip.
@@christophercaruso448 Not even hiding the racism... jeez. I'm sure CBS will be absolutely devastated when they find out Christopher Caruso won't be watching their next two seasons of the show. I'm so sorry you couldn't handle a little bit of diversity, you racist bigot.
@@christophercaruso448 Wait... I might be missing something, but isn't a more diverse cast a good thing because it can lead to more varied player dynamics and interactions?
I think I defiantly have the will and knowledge to compete in that challenge, but my breathing problems would most certainly get in the way, and my lack luster fear of lakes, or bodies of waters. I know that you have to position yourself as tightly onto the rails as possible to lift your body, and have your head swung all the way back so that you have your mouth sticking out of the water as much as possible, using water to affect your weight, and you have to stay calm and as still as possible, slowing your heart rate is literally one of the best possible things to do in this situation as it can allow you to hold your breath longer.
spin cycle (or whatever the other name is) scares me so much, watching it stresses me out, especially when brenda almost get stuck with her head under the water
I know what you mean here. Omg I hate to watch that. Everytime I see them do that. If I was a spinner, I would def be aware of the spinney's head. My goodness very hard to watch. Amazing Brenda is on this list twice. In 2 of the hardest challenges.
That spinning water wheel contraption actually disgusted me the first time I saw it. It angered me that they would even design it and put it into production. First of all, It was only the women contestants who got nearly drowned. And unlike the solo drowning challenge, the ones almost getting drowned on the wheel had no control and couldn't tap out when they were overwhelmed. The water they had to fill their mouth with looked filthy, like their dirty hair was dragging through that water , plus 3 people's saliva and snot, and then they have to drink it. This challenge should be retired. It's disgusting to watch and dangerous for the players.
i love that both times they ran the #1 challenge, when they were done spinning they almost drowned someone (that being brenda in nicaragua and julie in redemption island), it really showed just how amazing and well-thought out that challenge was
The first reward challenge of Survivor Guatemala where they started the game by having the tribes race through 26 miles of the dense Guatemala jungles. It lasted over 24 hours and I remember Blake (I think) passing out violently from exhaustion at the end. Toughest Survivor has ever been at the start of the game.
Blake had a thorny branch (that was probably toxic) fall on his shoulder, and Bobby Jon got so dehydrated he literally couldn't move his legs. It was a miracle there were no medevacs that season.

@@TheTNTMuffin apparently I think Varner also like crushed his foot or something which would lead up to his elimination, which is honestly kinda hilarious, seeing how he was the caller for the tribe, and he still found a way to get hurt in it.

I always stan Yau-man, if he actually won that immunity challenge or had Dreamz hold up his end of the bargin he defs would of won. Well deserved for his overall play and essentially his final challenge water torture endurance, but hey Earl was also a pretty good win candidate too.
#1: Forced to watch Jack and Jill, honestly, the challenge should've been to make all the contestants watch Jack and Jill and the last person to leave the movie theater and/or to stay awake wins the challenge
The top two are two of the only challenges I wouldn't be able to do. I'm not afraid of water but I'm afraid of being stuck underneath something and not being able to move and drowning. I get heart palpitations every time I watch those two challenges. Its terrifying.
@@ResettisReplicas I can't say I remember a single time over 41 seasons that someone has made a move in a challenge with this in mind. I just don't think it's something people think about in the moment and the chance of a medevac during a challenge is so low that it's probably not worth considering. That's just my take tho.
"Not a problem for Iceman Heidik over here. I don't think he feels sensations..." had it not been for the tape his wife sent over I would be more inclined to believe that
I think all of the challenges listed (except the final one) are what made me really appreciate and enjoy survivor. Tests of will power shows you a lot more about who a person is. Also I was shocked you showed Brenda winning the grate challenge but not Andrea going under and coming up multiple times while literally drowning
I remember freaking out over the one where people would spin in the water because depending on how slow it is you have to like hold your breath through it😭☠️
@@ChefofWar33 Playing harder in his case translates to antagonizing pretty much everyone he spends time with, and knowing me, I'd be an early boot for telling him where he can go and what he can do when he gets there the first time he tries pulling that "dumb ass girls" shit with me
@@NYChica23 jokes on you, I'll just go the final 3 and get at least 2nd place because I'd straight up be Russell's best friend, even if I don't end up actually liking him in real life
In the finnish celebrity survivor, your #1 torture challenge was recreated and one female contestant had a literal panic attack mid-challenge because she was afraid of water but because they chose all the lean females to be on rotation there, she had no choice but to participate
That one in Micronesia where Penner and James were later med evaced because of infected cuts from that challenge definitely takes the cake. They had them literally drag each other through spikey sticks
The point of the endurance challenges is to test the players to see who will give up and who will keep going. Personally, I like these sorts of challenges because it really shows who wants it the most and it isn't really torturous at all.
I wasnt the biggest brenda fan but man i gave her a round of applause when she won that grasp for air challenge she did that shit like a G better then everyone and made it look easy and peaceful She made it seem like a $250 service that was something a high class spa offers lol
Wors thing about the last challenge is if I was a participant I would feel the pressure to stay in so not to ruin it for the team-even if I was truly nearly drowning. You could yell out "Stop!" but for me I would really have to be in danger, and by then possibly too late anyways.
A challenge that was painful for me to watch was the I think final six immunity in redemption island where they had to match the stair pieces. That looked miserable, and straight torture. Also, the thumbnail on this vid is gold 😂
I got the same man, going with the Saw theme and references is a really timely and intelligent use of the RUclips algorithm and the new saw film and it’s popularity on RUclips. Very smart
"Does Jeff Probst like pushing survivors to their limits or is there something deeper going on here?" Well the show is called SURVIVOR so I would hope that at least some of the challenges push them to their VERY limits!!
I feel like a good honorable mention is from Australian Survivor. Specifically the challenge from F3 of CvC II or F12 of All-Stars. Same dude got third in that challenge and got voted out after the same challenge. Such a brutal challenge and such a brutal end.
The second one is literally formed from torture lmaoo Chinese water torture is where u are tied down and water slowly drops or dribbles on your forehead and you are unable to wipe it off ... they are left like that for days or weeks and it causes psychological damage over time... instead of being tied down they simply are forced to hold on to the bar lmaooo
The only one I agree with is the last one! You’re strapped in and then dunked underwater without your control. Plus you have two other people dunking with you. So if your the person rotating the wheel you have to keep tract of who is underwater and not, essentially your life is in someone else’s hands that’s pumping full of adrenaline weak from malnutrition and not thinking clearly.
What about the challenge literally titled “Water Torture”? First appearing in Australian Outback, castaways were forced to balance a pole on the back of their neck while having jugs of water added to the poles increasing the weight. In Australian Outback it was only between one representative from each tribe. It would return in future seasons (Pearl Islands, Tocantins, South Pacific, maybe another) and include 3 weight bearers for each tribes in which the opposing tribe delegated who got the weight. This is one challenge I would love to compete in.
@@Captain-Sum.Ting-Wong It's because they didn't know how to hold it. It didn't need to be on their necks but traps. People squat hundreds of kilos with a metal bar on their back. That challenge is a non issue
According to Ryan Ulrich from hhh in his quarantine questionnaire with dalton ross that disc challenge had an measurement issue where Ashley's disc stuck to the side of the structure when she dropped causing a discussion if they should run it again and they never have done that challenge since
Survivor Producers: We need a new challenge, something extremely different and tough New Guy: I've got it! Water boarding Entire Survivor Staff: Torture?! I love it!! Great idea new guy
LMAO, this thumbnail got me Also little video idea: top players that are unintentionaly funny (few examples: Rudy, Crystal, Bob Dog, Phillip, James from S10)
The water one has been done a couple of times in Australian Survivor too. If you need more material, the Aussie version of Survivor is brutal - challenge-wise, and for the length. They range between 47 and 55 days. Some awesome strategy too.

According to Ryan Ulrich from hhh in his quarantine questionnaire with dalton ross that disc challenge had an measurement issue where Ashley's disc stuck to the side of the structure when she dropped causing a discussion if they should run it again and they never have done that challenge since
Survivor Producers: We need a new challenge, something extremely different and tough
New Guy: I've got it! Water boarding
Entire Survivor Staff: Torture?! I love it!! Great idea new guy
the last challege looks so fun lol
I think numbers 4 and 5 would be a great one to bring back! Endurance challenges but nothing too insane
Survivor isn't a game show, it's a legalized way for Jeff to live out his twisted torture fantasies.
2:42 they brought it back in 45!
top tier thumbnail
The thumbnail is everything 😂😂😂
LMAO, this thumbnail got me
Also little video idea: top players that are unintentionaly funny (few examples: Rudy, Crystal, Bob Dog, Phillip, James from S10)
Ommg Jeff’s face in the picture lmao
“This part isn’t so hard !🥰… unless you’re janu.”
2:58 This one would fit perfectly into the kids' section of a waterpark, which is just more proof that those places are torture
i love your sense of humor. subscribed
Big Brother Aus just did the 'Last Gasp' challenge last week.
Dreamz is a piece of work.
I’m trying not to scream in laughter at the thumb nail at 4 in the morning
Now we just need a season where all of these challenges are featured.
both the disc and the grate challenge have appeared on the australian version to quite epic effect
Previous Survivor challenges felt like they're drawing inspiration from Fear Factor.
The water one has been done a couple of times in Australian Survivor too. If you need more material, the Aussie version of Survivor is brutal - challenge-wise, and for the length. They range between 47 and 55 days. Some awesome strategy too.
The most recent season’s water rising challenge is insane. They both survived the tide
Ikr congratulations, you outlasted the ocean!
Narrator: 4 - 1, there are Saw traps less painful to watch.
Me (a Saw fan): this I gotta see.
Actually an amazing thumbnail lol jeff 🤣
I always forget just how much I love aubrey
I think the most torturous challenges were the last final immunity challenges in the last two seasons of Australian survivor
Survivor 43s last gasp had Karla and Owen beat the challenge
“Some winners have problems holding onto money…”
*cut to fabio*
Bruhhhhh lol
Having a conversation with Phillip Shepherd should definitely be on here
I have been looking forward to this for two weeks!
