Noelle wins the reward challenge on Survivor

On tonight's episode of Survivor season 43, cast members Mike "Gabler" Gabler, Karla Cruz Godoy, Cody Assenmacher, Noelle Lambert, Sami Layadi, Jesse Lopez, Cassidy Clark, and Owen Knight reeled from a major double elimination last week and got ready to face another big challenge, while also thinking of newer ways to build their alliances and mark their safety.

The official synopsis of the episode, Get That Money, Baby, reads:

“The remaining eight castaways compete in a reward challenge that earns them a night in the sanctuary and a letter from home; one castaway must build their house of cards high enough to win immunity.”

The castaways on Survivor got ready for a reward challenge. For the same, host Jeff Probst announced that the cast had to spin inside a metal frame, slowly winding a buoy tied to the frame towards them. Once they crossed the line, they had to race through a series of obstacles, collect a sandbag from a long beam, walk all the way through the slim beam and get the sandbag on top of a tall tower.

The winner would get to live a night at the sanctuary and eat good food like pizza, cheesecake, brownies, and beer. After the challenge began, most of the cast members reached the last stage of the obstacle except Noelle. Out of all the challenges, this specific one was difficult for her, considering she has not let her leg disability to get in the way of winning.

After collecting the sandbag on the beam, the Survivor contestant found it difficult to cross the beam and reach the other end of it, as she kept slipping, managing by limping on one leg. By that time, all the other castaways were trying to get the sandbag on top of the tower.

However, Noelle didn't give up. After many tries, she eventually reached the other end of the beam and started trying to throw the sandbag on top of the tower alongside other contestants. Eventually, her hard work and perseverance worked out in her favor as she won the reward challenge and also earned respect from the host and fellow castaways.

She broke down crying and revealed that for the first time, she was skeptical of winning the challenge but stayed there thinking of how if she was there with her two legs, she wouldn't give up. Other than gaining her rewards, she also had access to letters from home to enjoy in the sanctuary. She then chose Sami, Owen, and Jesse to join her for the experience on Survivor.

In a confessional, Noelle said:

"I was really doubting myself but I didn't want to give up because I came out here wanting to prove to myself and to everybody else that I can do these challenges, and I did it. There is nothing better that I can ever describe."
