5 Times Survivor Players Hacked Challenges 8.0

[@SurvivorAdam]

Another fun fact about that final 6 challenge in Millennials vs. Gen X: Dave initially copies Jay’s number incorrectly, and I copied that incorrect answer because I was all the way on the end and only had Dave next to me. I move on last once Dave finally copies it correctly allowing me to do the same. 🤣

My favorite Survivor Moment of all time. I cry everytime I see it is at the very end of this video. It's Cirie's walk over the balance beam & Adam hugging her while saying, "You did it!". Every person there were rooting for her.

[@stormsmith7854]

I noticed a quick one from Cook Islands, don't remember if it's been mentioned before. In the Barrel Of Monkeys challenge when it comes time to float the barrel out into a stretch of water to retrieve the flags, Ozzy hooks his feet to the barrel and uses the guidrope securing the flags underwater to pull himself and the barrel with his teamates in along instead of having to swim against the tide. This helps them out massively, as the competing tribe get pulled off course by the currents trying to swim with the barrel

[@22espec]

Ozzy was basically the Michael Phelps of survivor, he crush every water challenge

Can't believe Crystal didn't make this list being the ultimate challenge beast she is

[@nicolefegan]

I think I disagree about San Juan Del Sur being the death of the "Fallen Comrades" challenge. I think that episode is the death of the "chopping people's ropes until there's one winner remaining" TYPE of challenge, because that's really what they hacked, but I think a straight quiz version of that challenge could easily come back.

[@violetbluejay]

100% agreed. I see where Preidiam is coming from but I think its being looked at the wrong angle in the video. When it comes to Fallen Comrades specifically I feel like V did more (unintentional) work towards its death than anyone else. Her journal was one of if not the first example of a survivor planning so far in advance for a challenge and she pretty much broke one of the go-to late immunity challenges simply by knowing it was coming. And there was a high risk of becoming like the advantage in the auction where there was a clear strategy that can't really be countered from the producers end, similar to survivors hoarding their money in the auction. I think the social strategy element of cutting the rope in SJDS was producers attempts at reviving the challenge in a less hackable way (between the unpredictability of bringing it back so abruptly, and one person not being able to run away with it like V did by hoarding info from the start) but while it kind of worked and broke V's original hack, it also exposed a kill switch hack for the "chopping people's ropes" challenge instead, turning it into bad TV in the process. And with the twist on the original Fallen Comrades now defunct, it was basically back to the form V hacked, so they put it back on the shelf

[@ashen_roses]

I feel like the same production that saw someone game the auction for letters and instead of making rules to prevent it canned the entire thing would see this happen and say "You all lost fallen comrades privileges forever"

[@GroverJ83]

It goes to show you the difference btwn BB and Survivor,Big Brother brings in a twist meant to shake up the game and they just recycle it year after year and pretend like majority alliances haven't hacked how to work around it already. Survivor see's the flaw and how a majority alliance will work around it and abandon the challenge/twist.

[@blueredlover1060]

@@violetbluejay some late game challenges are basically unhackable. The fire making challenge comes to mind for that. Everyone knows that it's coming, but getting a flint and steel fire is no easy feat. It's also incredibly unpredictable. The thing about social challenges is that you're not going to have them before the merge, since you're only being against yourself. So, they have to be post merge, and that gets you to the potential of them being hacked. The early game tribes is what prevents it from being Big Brother. Several of the older "hacked" challenges could come back in some form, like Fallen Comrades, but you're asking for them to get hacked again really.

[@juliejustdance]

I feel like on the first one Jeff must have been like: they can’t do that but…I didn’t say they can’t do it. Guess I have to let it slide.

[@firesong7825]

At least it's also a little risky since one falling could stall the duo a bit since they're tied to one another.

[@kathrynbrodeur8986]

I think Jeff would allow it to go down if it was done in a way that created good TV- like if the person orchestrating the collaboration literally apologized to Jeff before they did it and gave an entertaining show of it

I just noticed, Jeff kind of intervened in that last hack by screaming "he did not cover it up!" If Jeff stayed quiet maybe nobody would have noticed Jay left it uncovered. Everyones probably busy focusing on their own puzzle. Its kind of uncool for Jeff to intervene and change outcome of a challenge

[@Wehndigo]

This is my favorite video series of yours! Never gets old

[@ActiveAdvocate1]

1. Is that allowed? I mean, Jeff never SPECIFICALLY says you can't climb the walls of a maze, either, but we know that's not allowed, so how is this? 2. NEEEEEEEEEEERD. Good. I like nerds. One of my favourite players ever, actually. 3. Good on him for spotting it. I'd be crap at this challenge. I can't swim and my vision sucks. Soooo...can I sit out? 'Kay, thanks. 4. Oh, is that why this died? I like the other variation on it that they did in Tocantins: "Who would you trust with your life, who hasn't lived up to their potential", so on. That variation's funny, but I guess that, if they agree on the winner, it kind of loses its teeth. 5. Just give everyone different combinations every time. How hard is this? Now that you've revealed their stand-in, though, they're going to have to change it. Those are all upper multiples of nine, which makes it REALLY easy to remember, and I'm sure a lot of Survivor plyers watch your stuff.

[@petermcgill3405]

I think several players from 41 watched the first hacks video, because in the ball drop challenge, several players used Amanda's strategy of switching between overhand and underhand.

[@BASEBALLFURIES.]

for the same reasoning as number 1 (thought i dont know the rules of the card building challenge off the top of my head), i dont see why anybody wouldnt just put all the cards right up to the construction zone to begin with. but then i dont know why they'd even bother to have a second zone way on the other side.

[@liamsands1620]

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but if there’s a part 9; in the episode 10 reward challenge of Samoa, Natalie and John are in cradles, being pulled by their team to pick up flags. Where John stayed lying down on the cradle, Natalie wrapped her legs around the rope and hang from it, giving her more of a reach and quite easily winning the challenge for her team

[@feralfarrell1336]

Thank you for all the videos. So much work goes in,amazing. Renewed/reminded me of my love for survivor.

[@freddytang2128]

The first hack seem like a medical evacuation waiting to happen. Those poles dont look that thick or strong, I can imagine them easily breaking under the weight of a 180 pound man. If a pole broke, you could be falling 5 feet on other sharp sticks. If I were production/camera crew I'd scream at them to stop

[@johnstonefield1935]

Not only that, you're tied to your partner during the race! So if just one of you trips/misses and falls the other person gets yanked forward or back...face first into the tied together ends of the poles and then down into them. As opposed to otherwise everything being a step above ground level and only falling onto middle parts at worst. But yeah, either production really trusted the poles designed for people climbing over them could handle people JUMPING on top of them or no one thought of it during that.

[@shadowtheimpure]

@@johnstonefield1935 I think it was more a question of the production team having no idea anyone would be that insanely reckless. Once it happened, it was better to just let it lie since you can't really 'reshoot' a challenge very effectively since the element of surprise is completely gone.

[@eightmillionmaddies]

I love the way you say “Gabon,” you sound so dismayed every time 😂

[@carstenkruse8527]

Season 1 of the swedish version of survivors had the greatest hack I've ever seen. Contestants were told to get into a burlap sack and jump around a coconut. The idea was to round the coconuts tied to a rope out in the water. But the way the host frased the challenged, led one contestant, Martin, to wait until all the others were way out into the water, before he calmly rounded a coconut that were on the beach...beating the other contestants by a country mile.

I didn't watch that season so I have no real opinion on the alliance, but I applaud them for taking advantage of such a poorly designed challenge. That is 10000% on production. That being said, my understanding from other Survivor videos is that didn't this show who was at the bottom of their alliance and caused people to flip on them? So it seems like it cost them anyway.
