5 Times Survivor Players Hacked Challenges 2.0 

My issue is that in modern survivor these "hacks" seem to be discouraged and the challenges seem to be much more restrictive with what you can do. Nowadays you usually just get different variations of obstacle courses with a puzzle at the end. Loved some of these challenges where unique skills could shine or where you can employ different strategies.

"What happened?" "We lost bro. What do you mean what happened?" Lmao that was such a mood 😂

Didn’t Michele Fitzgerald remember a number combinations in Koah Rong by grabbing sand putting it on the wood and writing it down? That was pretty good too!

That's a great hack: Let Ozzy do all the work.

With the beam challenge. It’s a very common team building exercise with only one real way to accomplish. I run a team building camp for all ages, with the exceptions of the little ones, every one gets it after a couple tries... so I’d say the beam challenge didn’t get broken instead it got solved

I’m not one of your patrons, but I think an interesting analysis video would be how many times the fifth wheel strategy has worked toward a victory. Being the player that goes back and forth between two factions. When Cass did it, Spencer famously said “Cass’s chances of winning drop down to zero” and she responded “We’ll see” but I think he was right because I don’t think it’s ever worked. I think both factions usually just get sick of the person and get rid of them before the end.

"You know, basic facts about who they are as a person." That line makes me smile.

I really wish Jeff would have said No Refunds to Carolyn

Can’t stop laughing at the mogo mogo raft challenge 🤣

I believe there was one early in Nicaragua where the producers thought they should zig-zag gutters and the contestants just made slides.

LOVE these videos. Will always watch more. :)

Your channel is goated. Without any doubts. 💯🐐

Rocky got so screwed with the haves/have-nots. He needs to come back.

Survivor Hack: Doing cocaine that washed up on the island.

Could you do the history of people asking to be voted out?

Video idea: every challenge on survivor that didn't use balls

I see like the show you stopped at the advert, the auction killed did by it, but it took one or two to start putting theirs back to get him to do it.

Do the producers still allow players to take items from home with them to the island or did they stop doing that?

I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!!!! AWESOME!!!!

You should do a video talking about the statistics of whether or not the person who wins Final Immunity/HOH wins the game.

Jeff dropped the ball on the mike play. If Jeff didn’t say anything he might have gotten off with it

Always love to see my cousin Penner pop up

I really enjoy videos like this! Huge Survivor fan I it is incredible when you see some players think outside the box! I always thought that what Ozzy and Penner did was pure genius!

not Jeff coming @ the raft HAHAHAHHA

Letting you know that these are videos that us guys do wanna see

For the beam one i do gymnastics and when we were on the balance beam my coaches used to do that as a fun game to exercise our balance but it would be like shortest to tallest and we couldn’t talk and at first it was hard but then we hacked it the same way they did

Missed that voice talking survivor

Thanks for posting the video.

Why did the lady give back her letter from the auction? I'm confused.

Vecepia recognition. Such a great winner

Can anyone explain what happened in 8:27 to me? I don’t watch the show. Why didn’t mike “do it?” Does that mean he didn’t buy his letter from home? Why? Sorry if the answer is obvious, I’m trying to figure it out

Hey peridiam , after watching season 27 BvsW se how players mistreated Mónica until She broke down, other example is Sierra in Tocantis, or Sophie in South Pacific, I think is good material for a Video

Why when I watch this I think of hunger games

13:10 I thought it was funny the way Colby said about their raft having to hold not just hold 'normal human beings', but it also had to hold '260 pounds of HATCH'. I didn't think it was funny about the weight thing, just the way Colby says HATCH. :P

Second maybe third.

Mogo Mogo Raft

Peridiam I know this topic is next weeks video but imma say my top 4 BBCAN players now so next week no one calls me a bandwagon. 1st- Beth. 2nd- Jedson. 3rd- Rohan. 4th- Ty. Honourable mentions- Victoria- I think she’ll go far but be taken out late into jury given she’ll most likely be really well liked. Tera&Tina- I think they’ll play way to hard off the rip. I do love Keifer but man you can tell he gets jittery to quickly.

I dont watch surivior (and this is making me want to watch it) but how come Mike "not doing it" was bad? if that makes sense

Now do one for The Amazing Race

I dont understand, why did she give her letter back?

What's the significance of Mike not taking his letter, and why did the other woman decide to give hers back?

9:28 what didnt mike do?

I remember being REALLY pissed that Mike didn’t pay the low $20 fee to get his loved one letter just to get an advantage. While I can understand saving to get an advantage, not spending THE LOWEST AMOUNT THEY COULD JUST TO GET ONE ADVANTAGE is a load of bullshit

They should have a season where they bring in some people that were the first person voted off. it would be interesting bc its people that played a little but they all have no idea what their strats are.

Always found it odd that producers discourage being outsmarted on a game entirely based around outwit, outplay, outlast. People who hack the challenges are just outwitting, embracing the nature of the game.

I could watch hours of Ozzie doing challenges. Hours.

Im really dissapointed with the hate Shirin gets for that move- She was genuinely trying to get everyone love and being nice. Its not like she knew she would end the survivor auction😭

James was so proud of himself when he spelled triumphant

what about in all stars when rob has everybody jump off the balance beam so he could run and get the flag every time?

I hate the fact that the producers have never followed Australian Survivor's tactics of having advantages or letters from home as covered items. That would immediately prevent any player from "hacking" the challenge and creates a lot more intensity in someone bidding all $500 on a covered item. The auction has already been the most requested challenge to have back on the show, so with that as a clear solution to their problem, what's been stopping them?

As a lazy and exhausted person, the mogo mogo tribe is my hero😂

Boston Robs idea in all-stars in the sunken boat challenge where he had his team haul up the entire boat onto the pontoon before flipping it should be on here. While every team was bailing water furiously with buckets to make it seaworthy, Chapera emptied their entire boat in one flip and zoomed from last to first for a comfortable win. I really like it because he clearly knew what he was doing and it was, like Ozzy's coconuts, an on the spot innovation when the challenge was presented (i.e. he didn't stumble onto it like Yul's scope, it wasn't a product of trail and error like the balance beam crouch nor relied on knowledge on previous shows like the Vacepia quiz or the auction.) This, for me, takes it to a higher tier.

Vacepia's hack is like why TAR had to stop doing that final road block where they remember all the other road blocks. Everyone got too prepared for it. I miss that challenge though. I find all TAR finales since it got scrapped have been too easy

I remember that auction moment ruining Mama C for me. When I clocked what was happening I was so excited I thought it was a great and legitimate move, I hate that she was allowed to return the thing she already bought, you were outplayed they all were, even Jeff bought it initially.

You could do a list, where "hacks" go wrong.

Jenn Brown with the real challenge hack: buying the margarita.

mogo mogo raft

The last one reminds me of a time in middle school when each person in my class had to create a type of container to protect an egg that we dropped from the top of the school onto concrete and I forgot to make one so on the day of the project I took a tissue box, took out enough tissues so that the egg could fit inside with no room to move, and I could literally throw it off the building and the egg was unharmed. Needless to say my teacher was annoyed that I didn’t try like everyone else yet had to give me a passing grade cuz that shit was indestructible 😂

Video idea: Players who thought they hacked the challenge, but were totally wrong!

This has a special place in my heart, part 1 showed up randomly in my recommendations and was the first time I ever heard of survivor (I’m not from the US) Now I’ve seen all seasons and I’m basically an expert and follow multiple survivor channels.

ah dolphin boy, i miss ozzy from the early seasons

colby looked so proud when he was talking about the raftt

I don't remember what season it was, but there was a season where they did a variation of the "float your boat" challenge (boat is submerged and full of rocks) and when it first aired, I remember thinking "why don't you just flip the boat underwater?" And as soon as I thought that, somebody on one tribe suggested it and it worked A LOT faster. I've tried looking it up, but no luck.

I love James "If I came up with the word, come on" Loveable player, a fan favorite, and knowns he is not the brightest.

Last time I was this early, Wanda was still singing as she left the island

"Super fans they always think they know it all". I'm take this as a call out to me ;p (I know it probs not but let me have my moment)

I vaguely remember Scout intentionally dumping a coconut shell full of coconut juice so someone more agile could run the course without spilling it. Anyone else remember or am I just high?

“It came down to laziness and pure exhaustion that designed that raft,” he says with a huge proud smile on his face.

Yau Man is the King of hacks, folks. He won the wooden maze race by mathematically, using his hand, to trace the exit. After that mistake from Survivor, Survivor announced each wooden maze would now have sections you could only choose randomly how to navigate. (Holes in the maze). Required to choose a way to go. He was also the FIRST person to MAKE a fake immunity idol. Why does everyone forget Yau Man??? Finally, he was the first one to use a pair of someone's glasses to start a fire. New rule! - no glasses for fire starting. His only mistake was giving HIS winning truck to Dreamz if Dreamz promised not voting Yau Man... Dreamz agreed, TOOK the great new prized truck, AND voted Yau Man out any way!! Traitor of the highest degree. From that episode, Survivor immediately ended giving out a car at the designated challenge, as tradition had it. Yau Man was a professor at the University of Berkeley, and....he was asked to be on the show - HE DIDN'T HAVE TO TRY OUT to be a contestant. WOW. Let's talk about Yau Man! He's a nice guy.

Man I miss Survivor :(

I love the competition hacks videos but honestly it's been almost a so long without a season of Survivor and who knows how long until we get another I'll watch anything you make a video on. Why does CBS think they need to go to South Asia to do the show, they do know they could film in Hawaii, or Louisiana, or the Florida Keys don't they?

favorite video finally has a part 2!!!

karl jacobs just mentioned you in his alt stream and i screamed because i love your videos so much. you are both killing it

We respect your "lies" because it's like someone saying they'll give you something for free but end up giving lots of stuff for free XD Don't apologize for giving us more content :)

fyi penner didn’t actually come up with this hack. it was carter :) (he tweeted about it at the time and i remember seeing it bc i was so impressed!!)

I wish you included the Distress Signal competition from Africa where they dipped the nets in paint to make it stand out more.

I think even Jeff was surprised when Mike didn't buy his letter. He was like "holy shit, that's heartless" in his face.

What about sitting Sandra every challenge? Is that a hack

I'm kinda lost at what mark did or what he didn't that made Jeff go "wow" and make the other lady return her letter and kinda screw them up

During the auction thing why did one not buy his letter and why did she give hers back is there some sort of rule that if someone doesn't buy the original bidder doesn't get theirs?

I would personally add Rafe, Danni and Steph. To this day I don't believe the Guatemala FIC was properly tested beforehand.

I’m confused about the letter??? What didn’t mike do?? What did that lady put back and why??

Not sure if this counts but our favorite baseball who also was dating Coach, Albert in South Pacific, sort of hacked but sort of cheated a challenge. In the Jack and Jill aka Twins themed immunity challenge, the crucial one right before the merge, there was a point where both tribes were retrieving their last bag from the water. The bags were tied to these floating beams and Albert was losing time untying the bag. So in a rushed panic state, he just tears the bag off the beam, from a distance it looks like he’s untied it but the knots are still there. This seems small and insignificant until you realize this crucial immunity challenge, right before the merge, was won within seconds of either tribe winning.

Why were they mad when he didn't buy the letter at the auction, I don't understand?

"260 pounds of HATCH"

Love the Vecepia love! She deserved to be on WAW!

can you make a video analyzing every final 6 because there always seems to be some sort of big move happening at that moment in the game

when brains are actually important than flexing your steroids

In all stars when the chapera tribe had rob go over and over on the attack challenge

Cesternino being referred to as "one guy" is blasphemous.

13:24 "Ultimately, it came down to laziness and pure EXHAUSTION that designed that" Relatable. 👍😎👍

Last time i was this early was never

Mike DID end up buying the letter and then losing the rock draw. Gotta include that part!

You should have added Kenny in Gabon who won the domino challenge by beginning to the end, to disturb the least possible his domino while walking

Didn’t Malcolm try that trick the next season in Caramoan and it failed?

I don’t understand why they’re so angry with Mike at the auction. Can’t he opt to not buy it without affecting the others?

im honestly still confused about the auction letters

I have a question for you... Do you like the more recent trend of whispered conversations during jury meetings? Honestly I find them dumb and I'm pretty sure they just do it for T.V. sake.

If I remember correctly, Malcolm later attempted to use the same strategy that Ozzy/Penner used when he was on Caramoan, but I don’t think he was successful in his attempt. It was a nice callback to that exact challenge

Hack videos are literally my favourite - top strategies with a little bit of humour. Stunning
