The merge challenge on Survivor Season 42 Episode 6
Tonight's episode featured the much-awaited merge challenge. The challenge started with Mark announcing the teams.
This season, two teams were announced: Team Orange (Jonathan, Lydia, Maryanne, Hai, and Tori) and Team Blue (Drea, Mike, Romeo, Omar, and Chanelle). Lindsay and Rocksroy were not on any team and were not allowed to participate in the merge challenge.
In tonight's challenge, the two teams were supposed to dig out a huge boulder and get it into a ditch by pushing it. The team members would then have to climb over the boulder and collect some keys which were tied up on a rope. The team members were then supposed to climb up a wall with the help of the boulder and solve a wooden puzzle.
The award for today's challenge was a big Applebee's feast. The losing team would win the consolation price of rice.
Team Orange took an early lead, with Jonathan proving to be the most valuable player. He helped his team win the challenge by pushing the boulder and lifting the other members up the ladder to the platform. Since this was a physical task, he had a considerable advantage. Maryanne and Lydia worked on the puzzle.
Meanwhile, on Team Blue, Mike helped pull his tribe members up the platform, but Drea struggled to get up on the boulder. Mike offered to help Drea climb up by picking her up with his legs, but he accidentally kicked her in the face.
The Blue Team eventually got to the puzzle, but the Orange team had a large time advantage and won the challenge.
The winning team chose Lindsay to join them and receive a share of their rewards. Rocksroy was sent to live in exile for two nights, as no team member wanted to swap their immunity with him. This season (unlike in Season 41), players were informed that Rocksroy would have some power to alter the results.
Rocksroy decided to go back into time by smashing the hourglass, making Team Orange lose their individual immunity. Tori won individual immunity in the elimination round.
Fans can watch new episodes of Survivor on Wednesdays on CBS Channel at 8:00 pm PT. The season finale of the show will air on May 25, 2022.
