Survivor: Africa

For Survivor: Africa, Michael designed many physically grueling challenges, two of which are considered franchise classics in the top 7 according to Entertainment Weekly Magazine. In When It Rains, It Pours, players’ hands are extended up and tied to a rope, which is attached to a bucket. When their arm fatigues and lowers, even just half an inch, the water cascades down onto their heads. In the “soooo iconic” Rock-n-Roll, the tribe rolled huge rebar and fiberglass boulders across the African Savanna.
