Beginning February 9, 2001, on Obsidian, the world will be watching as 8 strangers are stranded on an unknown island. There, they must work together to survive, while eliminating each other one by one every three days. The lone survivor will walk away with $500,000! What kinds of challenges are there Answer: There are two kinds. One is a "reward challenge," in which Survivors compete for luxuries, such as reagents, tents, fires, etc. The second is an "immunity challenge," in which Survivors compete for the most valuable prize--immunity from being voted out of the island at Tribal Council. The winning individual of an "immunity challenge" can not be votes out at the end of a three-day period, while everyone else can. Occasionally, the "reward" and "immunity" challenges were combined: winners received both a reward and immunity from being voted.
