Survivor: The best gross food challenge moments of all time

Yeah, Kimmi’s Not Doing That – Season 2

While this particular moment didn’t actually consist of anyone eating anything, it’s still one of the more memorable moments from the earlier seasons. In Australian Outback, the gross food challenge returned in “Buggin’ Out.”

Each contestant would step up, and a spinning wheel would determine what gross food item the pair would have to eat. Unlike current seasons where the person to finish their food first wins, all a player had to do in season 2 was simply finish their delicacy without throwing up and they’d earn a point for their team.

When Kimmi Kappenberg’s turn came about, the wheel landed on a cow brain. Kimmi, despite knowing that if her tribe lost the challenge, she’d be going home, refused to eat the cow brain due to being a vegetarian.

Ultimately, Ogakor picked Kimmi in the tiebreaker round, hoping she’d be unable to eat whatever was served. For Kimmi’s sake, it was a mangrove worm, and she ate it quicker than Tina Wesson to win the challenge for her tribe.

Of course, had she eaten the cow brain, she wouldn’t have had to be in the tiebreaker, but hey; I respect her for sticking with her beliefs.
