One of the more inventive challenge twists from last season makes its return in Survivor Ghost Island episode 7, this time as a reward challenge.
Warning: This post will include promotional press pictures for Survivor Ghost Island episode 7, including revealing both the Reward and Immunity Challenge layouts.
Survivor Ghost Island has been predictable in its boot order so far. With the exception of Morgan Ricke, Ponderosa has been filled up with players from the “best tribe of all-time,” Malolo. Whether it’s Malolo 1.0, 2.0 or 3.0, if you were one of the starting 10 to wear orange, your game has been awfully difficult so far.
Fortunately for those players, the merge is just around the corner. For now, though, CBS has released promotional photos for Survivor Ghost Island episode 7, showcasing the (expected) final tribe-based Reward and Immunity Challenges right before the seventh player is expected to be sent home.
Seriously, there’s not much to the photos this week, but at least we’re getting one of the better challenges from Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers once again! Spelling “I-M-M-U-N-I-T-Y” last season, players will hold up a table in the middle with ropes, keeping it taut as one player inches towards the middle with letter blocks and placing a letter each to spell out “R-E-W-A-R-D.”
We’re starting to get to the more substantially helpful reward items with this challenge, as the winning tribe will receive slabs of meat, kebabs and spices. The second place will just get a plate of kebabs, while third place gets nothing but a hungry trip back to camp.
Because “reward” is a shorter word, it looks like the logo of Survivor Ghost Island will bookend the word to get the equal eight blocks required of the challenge of its caliber of difficulty.
The Immunity challenge is something of a mystery, as it doesn’t look like the whole picture is given in the promo photos. It looks like players will have to go one by one and retrieve rings to bring back to the starting platform. The end portion shows players tossing the rings at an unknown target.
Here’s Kellyn jumping into the water to retrieve some rings…

But here she is with the rest of her tribe collecting rings at the top of the platform here. Plus, there’s a ladder down in addition to a top that you can jump from. It’s clear you have to bring the rings back and forward, but it looks like the final third act of this challenge remains a mystery for now.
