After seeing the preview for Survivor 43 episode 11, many fans are excited about the immunity challenge. So far this season, fans have been disappointed with various aspects of Survivor that made them reminisce about the older seasons. Many fan discussions are negative reviews and comments about the changes they want to see on the show. However, the reveal of episode 11's immunity challenge has fans more excited than they have been all season.
Survivor fans were impressed with episode 7's immunity challenge, but this Survivor classic could surpass it in reviews. The immunity challenge is known as the "Last Gasp" where players must keep their faces under a fixed metal cage while the tide comes in over them. It is a last player standing style challenge where players compete to stay under the water the longest. "Last Gasp" is a Survivor classic known as one of the more difficult and uncomfortable challenges a Survivor competitor can go through. Reddit user PeterTheSilent1 began a thread where fans shared their excitement for the return of the classic challenge.
Survivor Fans Predict Who Will Win Episode 11's Immunity Challenge
Many fans thought the challenge would never return because of how physically challenging it is for contestants. Karla Cruz Godoy and Cody Assenmacher, who impressed producers before, are both known as strong competitors who fans believe could pull out a win. One Reddit user said, "Everyone’s excited because the swells in Fiji cause huge waves, so this should be the hardest version yet." Since the waves are bigger, the challenge could run shorter than in the past, but fans are still excited to see which Survivor 43 competitors will last the longest.
Some fans who were bored with the challenges seen in season 43 were surprised to see the classic return. Another Reddit user commented, "I was thinking, "I remember when contestants were almost drowning for immunity." Never thought I would see this challenge again." The last time Survivor contestants competed in the "Last Gasp" challenge was in season 26, so fans are excited to see it return. Still, fans would like to see the return of other features of classic Survivor, such as the original 39-day format or different locations.
Regardless of the other issues that Survivor fans have with season 43, including a classic challenge is one of the best decisions from producers. Furthermore, the challenge being featured so late in the season means the immunity is more valuable to players, who will fight harder for the win. Survivor fans hope the competition will live up to the excitement and suspense that "Last Gasp" has showcased in the past.
Survivor airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. EST on CBS.
