The History of Survivor Challenge Beasts

[@AlexNur07]

Tom is the most impressive one for me, he has double the age of his fellow contestants and he destroyed them in those very difficult physical challenges

[@janejones7638]

I sort of agree. But he like Culpepper had careers where physical fitness was important. Since I just turned 53, I find both of them amazing anyway.

Kim Spradlin is one of the most impressive and well-balanced Survivor winners to ever play. Not only was she a challenge beast, her social game was incredible, and everyone trusted her. She was like the prom queen, cheerleading captain, and valedictorian competing against a bunch of outcasts. She also made it fairly deep into Winners at War, given how impressive her first win was!

Joe is wild because he is such a difference maker on team challenges. Like, no matter how they tribe swapped, who he was paired with or anything else, he was just a complete eraser of any disadvantages his team had. He gets the nod from me, but they're both great

You've got to have a solid game all around. If you win enough respect with your challenge wins you can win it.

[@StephenWong14]

It's always tragic when a challenge beast lost the final immunity (Ozzy, Terry), since you felt like they definitely would have won if in the final. Yet sometimes they still lost (Kelly and sorry Ozzy it's you again).

[@troyzema4014]

Ozzy is probably the best. Crazy endurance and I swear he can breath underwater. Some people who didn't make it that I like are Rupert and Natalie. Denise is my personal favorite sole survivor, her game was very cerebral though and I don't know if she ever one individual immunity. Love that I found this youtube channel and people are still so into survivor like myself!

[@briankaste6931]

Nice video, I really like how you were able to walk through the different challenges and show clips from them. Another aspect of the challenge beast is who did they have to beat? For example, it's not like Yul was a weak competitor, but Ozzy was just that dominant. But Bob from Survivor Gabon, although not a challenge beast by your definition, was considered to be a challenge threat by the other outcasts from that season. That's because pretty much all the Gabon competition was weak by the time the tribes had merged, or at least for the majority of the merge. (I only brought up Gabon because I just finished watching it and it's fresh in my mind)

[@adamlord1891]

I remember Probst mentioning that Bob winning five individual challenges in a row was "a record in the history of this game." Not sure whether anyone has beaten it since then.

[@evanbonjibod3993]

No Spencer? I mean yeah he didn’t win 4 times, but he did win 3 twice. Being tied up for third place for the total most individual immunity challenge wins of all time. He’s Tied with Joe Anglim both with 6 wins. And is only behind Rob and Ozzy who did play more seasons than them. I just think that’s impressive in its own right.

If anyone ever doubts that Tony is the King of Survivor, all you need to do is show them that episode (This is Extortion).

Personally, I think Wigglesworth is the most impressive for one reason and one reason only. Not because she was the first, but because in that season, most everyone had a moral compass and felt bad about voting others out. To this day, I think her story is the most impressive. A young person trying to find her way through the game, struggling with light and darkness, salvation and redemption. Yes, Mike Holloway and Terry Dietz needed immunity, but they were not disliked. If you think about it, Kelly was the best player in season won, but she did not win. A challenge beast, with a great social game. She was the only one that befriend the Pagons, even though it was seen as wishy washy in her season.

She wasn't getting votes of Rudy, Sean, or Greg. No chance. Her only hope was Sue.

[@MutantLollipop]

Best player in season 1? Debatably. Her physical game was the best but Richard was a trailblazer in his own right and really was a keystone figure in forging modern survivor gameplay.

I wish they make a season of players with the most challenge wins and call it "Survisor : Challenge Beasts Brawl" and they make the challenges a lot more difficult. And every loss would cost more like a penalty , and not just voting someone out (Ex. losers go to exile Island, less food and water, disadvantage in challenges, etc) That way, the games shifts from a highly social game to doing what it takes to make sure your tribe wins (Keeping the strongest players).

When the other tribe had no interest to even try to collect their tool kits because they knew nobody can beat Ozzy in the water.. Even Malcolm said Ozzy is here so there is no point ...that speaks volume on how famous Ozzy in the water..

[@ironocy496]

Gotta be Boston Rob. Dude is legendary. None of these other beasts also had a statue of them built for a season.

[@caymanstaley9184]

Jonathan will make this list in the future even if he doesn't get the 4 immunity necklaces he is a literal beast that single handly won team challenges which is ridiculous

[@huntercook1726]

Colby Donaldson is my favorite the 1st man to win 5 immunitys and holds the record for 7 individual challenge wins

[@BurnedSpace]

then got absolutely bullied in heroes vs villains

[@coneil72]

Classic Jeff narration in season 1: "Kelly, you got immunity." He got SO much better at play-by-plays as the seasons went on!

[@johnnyhyun9643]

imagine a season where all new people are the most physically fit people and returning players are challenge beasts

[@user-bd6hn]

there’s a similar concept I’ve seen people talk about , a survivor based survivor season for their 50th season . where it’s outwit outplay outlast. outwit being players who are very strategic and have great social games , players like parvati,tony, and cirie. outplay meaning the challenge beasts , players like malcolm, joe, and kim . and outlast being just runner ups and winners like amanda, brad culpepper, and tyson.

[@OnceUponAnIsland]

To be a challenge beast they need to win 4 individual immunities in a season. Bob Crowley won 3. 01:10

[@OnceUponAnIsland]

@Peter McGill Who has won 4 individual reward challenges?

[@SerpySerper56]

@@OnceUponAnIsland think he means that reward and immunity challenges should both count as challenge wins

[@zeaferjones1404]

@@OnceUponAnIsland What if they basically won 4 like Parvati in Hero's vs Villains. You could argue her best performance was the challenge she gave to Danielle at the end. She was holding on with one arm and one foot. I think she would have beaten Ozzy let alone Danielle.

[@OnceUponAnIsland]

@@zeaferjones1404 A win is a win. I don't count being close or giving it away.

[@zeaferjones1404]

@@OnceUponAnIsland I get what you are saying and normally I would agree if it wasn't to set up her great double idol move. Also, Parvati effortlessly hanging there scared the other players into giving up. I'm not sure Danielle by herself would have caused Jerri and Candice to drop out.

[@anikarice7609]

Why isn't Malcolm here?? He is one of my all time favorites. He slayed challenges! He should have won his season.

[@OnceUponAnIsland]

He never won 4 individual immunities in a season.

[@anikarice7609]

@@OnceUponAnIsland I actually don't remember how many individual immunities he won. I do remember he was the one who usually stepped up in a tribe challenge.

[@LearningProbably]

It's truly incredible seeing a 45+ year old man out-compete these 20 year old women in their prime during the obstacle courses.

[@Rodanguirus]

I know it's harder to quantify individual performances in pre-merge challenges, but I feel like that should factor into challenge beast status to some extent.

[@OnceUponAnIsland]

Any suggestions for pre-merge challenge beasts that didn't make this list?

[@Rodanguirus]

@@OnceUponAnIsland Off the top of my head, Parvati seemed instrumental to some villain tribe wins, in addition to some strong, if not beast-qualifying, individual performances. James is another who comes to mind (not as accomplished individually, but impacted basically everyone's challenge strategizing on both tribes in the pre-merge).

[@cantwin8105]

Don't forget about Bob Crowley from Gabon, almost making this list! He won a lot of challenges post merge, at 57 if I can recall.

[@OnceUponAnIsland]

He didn't win 4 individual immunities.

[@PurpleMoonlight812]

say what you want about Boston Rob's win, but you can't deny he was very impressive in challenges both tribe and individual.

this is a really good video

[@kenishaaaa._]

OZZY IS KING

[@acetheballer3318]

My opinion: If you’re a challenge beast then you don’t really need to have a social game as much as anyone else because of the security blanket that is immunity! However if I were to win Individual Immunity after the Merge I would try and take out the big alliance at Tribal or something

[@Admiralkirk95]

Just saying, Jeff definetly was very eager to stop Rob from getting 'tricked' in Marquesas. He stopped Rob from making a deal, and was like "Ah! Amber you're out!" usually isn't that on point and that excited to see someone go out, he's usually pretty casual about it, unless he's doing his "And *name* wins the challenge!" I think by that point Jeff had come to have his man crush on Rob.

[@ThorHC11]

36:14 that challenge isn't really a variation of the Bowl-stacking challenge. It's a different challenge, seen on San Juan del Sur and won by keith.

Ill still forever be amazed at how Terry did NOT drop his fish through that wooden jungle gym

[@Kaibat1205]

Really nice video 👍

[@domskillet5744]

Ik the definition of challenge beast in this context is 4 or more immunities but Boston Rob in HvV was actually insane. He completely carried the villains on his back (literally in that 1 challenge with the box staircase lol) and decked Colby so hard Colby lost all his confidence and turned into a wet noodle. Shame he got voted out so early cuz he would've been a beast if he made it further

[@jacobwilliams1223]

Wow, I mean 5 wins is 5 wins so props but man are Colby's challenges in Australia seem incredibly underwhelming. Might be some of the most simple immunity wins for a challenge beast I've ever seen.
