PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Food challenge" |
I haven't seen many survivor shows, I was curious if they had a food eating challenge like they have in the Amazing Race.I know that food is a reward but it would be interesting if tribes could only pick one or two people from their tribe to do this.If the food was great do you pick yourself because you crave it or do you risk losing the challenge if someone else could eat the food faster and more of it?

2. "RE: Food challenge" |
In the Amazon, the survivors were "treated" to a roasted beast (of some sort) where they were required to (without the use of their hands) bite off as much meat as possible.
The tribe with the most meat, off the bone, won the challenge.But for the most part, as Snidget mentioned, it's a matter of choking down gross food whether it be rotting fish (see: fafaru), various bugs, grubs and worms, blood-clam shakes, cow's blood, duck abortions, etc.

The format for a typical food challenge at the tribal stage:
1. Jeff will bring out a randomizer (usually a wheel), which determines who has to eat what. Most of the possibilities will be horror shows, but the occasional treat can pop up. (For Pearl Islands, the wheel was used to pick ingredients for fish smoothies, but it typically gives a single dish for a result.)2. Tribe members are randomly matched against those in the opposing group. 3. Jeff spins the wheel. Both people have to eat the indicated result. Fastest eating time wins the match, with each match worth a point. Whoever gets the most points wins. 4. Should the tribes tie on points, each tribe picks someone on the opposing group for one last heat. The winner of this matchup gives their tribe victory. (Because the show likes playoff matches, the challenge typically appears when there's an even number of players on each tribe after figuring for sit-outs.) 5. The challenge will normally be for Reward. Notes: This is one of the more common challenges, appearing in multiple seasons. Personal diet is not a consideration: you can't ask for a do-over on any wheel result. If you're a vegan and you get meat, tough. If you know something will make you throw up, too bad. Eat what Jeff gives you or forfeit the point. One gross food challenge gave us the legendary 'fafaru'. If you want to know what it is, look it up. Just describing it makes most people nauseous. A food challenge has appeared in conjunction with the loved ones' visit at the individual stage, but the loved ones had to do the eating: multiple heats with all loved ones competing, slowest for each stage dropped out, last one standing got to see their fan club.

Nope: that's one of the gross foods on the menu. It's called balut, and it's a partially-matured duck embryo, boiled and served inside the shell. The dish is popular in the Philippines, where it's pretty much in the snack food category, and also has some following in Vietnam. It's shown up on Fear Factor and Survivor both.

*groan* I hope they don't do the gross food thing again! I think it's just plain wrong and NOT entertaining.
It's just another one of Survivor's low budget challenges. They need to work harder to come up with entertaining challenges that people will want to watch. If I want to be grossed out I will (not) watch Fear Factor.

Sorry about that,well at least there shouldn't be another one for a while,I thought for sure the hungry tribe would win this,but if you have no saliva it's hard to swallow.They must of not had enough time between making their fire and boiling water before their food eating challenge.
