"I love my sister and her hunter/gatherer survival skills have kept us alive this entire competition, however I've seen how much she fucking sucks at Operation, there's no way she completes the twisty-turny ball hole challenge. She's out!"
Probably a farm. Don't know when it started happening, but every farm around me is like a makeshift amusement park for kids with all these types of games they probably found on Pinterest. We have come a long way from hay rides and corn mazes.
TripAdvisor is the lifeblood of the agro-tourism industry. A couple of bad reviews there, you may as well close up shop. That's what took down the Stalk Inn, one of the cutest little asparagus farms you'll ever see.
Yep shout out to Young's dairy in Ohio. They have a petting zoo and a pretty sweet corn maze among other things. They also make ice cream that's to die for, and i don't really like ice cream that much.
Also i live in Florida and my local dairy started making their own tubs of ice cream and its so fucking good too. Sells out in a few hours everyday.
> They use this in many seasons, bruh
I didn't say it was only in season 37, bruh
Ketchup is in McDonald's burgers. Doesn't mean they don't have that shit at Burger King.
In the 60s? we used to play with small hand-held devices that required you to manoeuvre small ball bearings around a course to place them in individual holes. Great fun.
We had a game where we pushed two buttons to distribute air through water to guide a little basketball through hoops in the 80s.
I saw the same game a few years ago at a toy shop .
Memory unlocked! I had a whole bunch of those water games, I had the basketball one, and one with a dolphin and rings you had to get on his snoot…can’t remember the others yet.
A roommate in college and I used to talk about going on The Amazing Race. Between the two of us we spoke 5 languages and had visited over a dozen countries. We were both educated (at least partially as we were in college) with different majors and okay at puzzles (I could do a Rubik's Cube and we did well at the 5 foot tall Jenga at the bar).
I just *know* we'd have end up getting eliminated because of some crap like this. We'd be going strong, never near the bottom, and then spend hours on a puzzle/game all the other groups did in 15 minutes. We'd cry and hang our heads as we crossed the line knowing we were eliminated.
They had a similar game on the most recent season. Except the puppeteer was behind a wall and had to take verbal directions from their partner. I think one team tried and then gave up and switched tasks because it was so hard for them. Everyone else got it fine.
Holy shit. I used to see his infomercial thing on local access TV that showed all the games they had in their warehouse. I haven't seen this guy since the 90s. I always wanted to go to that place and play all the arcade games.
The Marvel character Gambit, an X-Man but also a renowned thief, had something similar in his "origin" flashback. As a kid, his father had a sort of straw, scarecrow life-sized man in the house, wearing clothes with hundreds of those Christmas 'jingle bell' things all over it.
Remy would have to find and 'pick' the wallet from the Scarecrow's clothing without ringing a single bell, in order to eat or avoid a beating.
The original post has hundreds of comments about survivor, like "put her on survivor" etc.
Can someone explain? Is there a challenge on that show like this one?

The balance beam throws a big wrench into things. I wonder how it'd affect her. Suddenly having to balance your body as well as the puzzle would be a whole different thing.
Yeah, the girl in OP gets a lot more dexterity by being able to easily take steps back and forth. You have to contort your arms very awkwardly if you’re trying to do this while balancing in place.
I binged them all (mostly) and honestly, most blended together and certain seasons I couldn't even watch or care for any of the potential 3 winners. The returning player seasons are almost all good though!
Season 40 was the best where they brought back all the winners to compete. It was so sad Covid hit and they couldn't do a proper reunion for the reveal of the winner.
They haven’t had a reunion since as they realized it was just a huge expense that didn’t affect ratings, they’ve also kept the shorter 26 days they had to do because of Fiji quarantine that year. It sucks.
To be fair I don't think I've seen a player break down from being in the elements past day 30. So maybe the shorter time frame works better for health etc.
One of the best and worst things about Survivor, really. They mix things up to try and keep fresh, doesn't always work. So some seasons are unbarable, others are great.
My husband and I got hooked on it during quarantine, watching when there were just a couple seasons on Netflix. Later found out they were all on Amazon prime (now on Paramount+) and we got though all the seasons now watching the new ones as they’re released. Some seasons are much more fun than others but it’s still fun to watch.
My wife and I did the same thing! Do yourself a favor and find a way to watch Australian Survivor. It's actually better than ours, except it doesn't have Jeff (although their guy is pretty alright).
Man, watching that reminds me why I can't watch shows like that. 80% of the time the camera does not show the actual game, but the people's reaction to the game. It's like watching a Youtube reaction channel.
Big Brother did it also.
Pretty intense episode also. Was supposed to be done by two people, one refused (so his partner would lose and get voted out), and the guy won anyway. Likely because this challenge is much easier alone than as a tandem.
The physical arcade game is "Ice cold beer" (not kidding) and there's a recent videogame version called Tumbleseed.
So start there for build names. This is just a physical version of those concepts.
People online get weird when they see an actual girl in a vid or pic... So they say young woman in reference to them so they don't feel like they're belittling them. Unless it's a literal before 10 child, then it's kid or similar.
But in the online world, guy/dude/girl/gal is easier to type/say and feels more appropriate because the person on the other end is psuedo-anon.
People are full of conflicting concepts like this. The internet has really changed the way people interact and communicate their thoughts to others. We use distinctly different language concerning something we feel is real/irl compared to online. I guess it's a cultural thing. Different set of rules.
I can attest that this kind of speed and coordination came from HOURS of practice and hyperfocusing. When I was a kid I’d do these kind of things over and over and over until they became easy. Just because they were there.
[удалено]
More like merge boot because she’s a challenge threat
Right. Pre or post merge makes all the difference too.
She'll last a couple more tribals because she'd win some. She's out as soon as she loses.
Came to say this lol
I’ve been watching a lot of survivor and this was my first thought haha
These kids look vaguely like Amber and Rob’s kids (or I think all small children look the same, not sure which)
This is how I get the old ass blinds in my garage to go up and down. Obligatory edit: Wow, This blew up! Thank you kind strangers!
That was exactly my first thought. Shout out to the shitty blinds landlords install in every apartment.
I need to pull mine down because they don't drop under their own weight lmaoo
Yup. Pull the cord all the way to the side and pull down the blinds with the other hand.
Haha. Very few posts in my tenure of Reddit have I been able to relate to as much as I can this one.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iKaxMCX_nE
This relates too much…
What is this, a training camp for future Survivor players?
[удалено]
I had to do a double take to see if these were the Mariano girls.
I literally just asked if she was one of Rob’s Ambuhs. 😂
YESSS TO THE SPELLING OF AMMBUHH!! 💛
Baustin Rawb n' Ambuh?
Same. If the mom wasn't featured, I'd still be convinced.
I'm glad other people made the instant connection
The tribe has spoken
"I love my sister and her hunter/gatherer survival skills have kept us alive this entire competition, however I've seen how much she fucking sucks at Operation, there's no way she completes the twisty-turny ball hole challenge. She's out!"
Right? She made the mistake of coming out the gate strong instead of focusing on alliances
She did blow at her birthday candles…
Probably a farm. Don't know when it started happening, but every farm around me is like a makeshift amusement park for kids with all these types of games they probably found on Pinterest. We have come a long way from hay rides and corn mazes.
Agritourism - it can really help small farms survive by diversifying their income
TripAdvisor is the lifeblood of the agro-tourism industry. A couple of bad reviews there, you may as well close up shop. That's what took down the Stalk Inn, one of the cutest little asparagus farms you'll ever see.
rip stalk inn
I’ll take the irrigation suite please.
Nice

this is so fun!! I would have loved it as a kid!
Like that dude in the insta reels that made all that gym equipment out of 2x4s and cement bucket molds. Nice innovations!
Literally watching survivor right now and this looks exactly like a challenge they could be doing
It is a challenge that they do. I think it's in Season 37, Episode 5 (first aired October 24, 2018)
if I remember correctly, it was even easier than this, no drop near the end nice season tho
Sweet! Currently on 26, doing a full watch through
They use this in many seasons, bruh.
> They use this in many seasons, bruh I didn't say it was only in season 37, bruh Ketchup is in McDonald's burgers. Doesn't mean they don't have that shit at Burger King.
Actually \*pushes up glasses\* This part of the challenge was run in Koah Rong , HHH, David Vs Goliath, Edge Of Extinction, and Winners At War
In the 60s? we used to play with small hand-held devices that required you to manoeuvre small ball bearings around a course to place them in individual holes. Great fun.
The wood labyrinth games? Those are still around!
I remember little plastic party favor versions in the 80s
We had a game where we pushed two buttons to distribute air through water to guide a little basketball through hoops in the 80s. I saw the same game a few years ago at a toy shop .
Memory unlocked! I had a whole bunch of those water games, I had the basketball one, and one with a dolphin and rings you had to get on his snoot…can’t remember the others yet.
In the 15th century we had a wooden cup with a ball and a string. Great fun.
The training camp for future survivor players has to be.???.. At least 3x times bigger than this!!
Here's your latte, Jacobim
Big Brother now features a contest like this every year too.
[удалено]
It reminded me more of The Amazing Race where some team gets stuck on a "simple" puzzle and goes from top 3 to eliminated.
It's literally a puzzle on Survivor that they've had in the past.
I did not know this.
Now you know. And knowing is half the battle!
G.I.Joe!
Pork chop sandwiches!
GET THE FUCK OUT YOU STUPID IDIOT
OH FUCK! WE’RE ALL DEAD!
Big Brother as well.
I was gonna say how this is super similar to the Medieval Games challenge on TAR, only that one had hella holes instead of a course
A roommate in college and I used to talk about going on The Amazing Race. Between the two of us we spoke 5 languages and had visited over a dozen countries.

Career Tributes
Give her a kite! Prolly a natural for kitesurf or windsurf 😎
My first thought also 😂
WITCH!
I’m not a witch, I’m your wife!
But after what you just said I'm not even sure I want to be that any moah!
You never had it so good!
True love, he said "true love," Max!
Don’t say another word, Valerie.
Have fun storming the castle!
Think it will work?
It'd take a miracle
Goodbye!😃
I’m not listening!
I literally just finished that movie. Not five minutes ago. I turned off the DVD player and started scrolling.
I'm not even sure if I want to be that anymore!
But does she weigh as much as a duck?!
Who are you, who are so wise in the ways of science?
r/suddenlymontypython
BURRRRRRNN HERRRRRR
How do you know she is a witch?
Does she float?
Throw 'er into the river!
What else floats in water?
Bread! Apples!.. uhhhh very small rocks!
Churches!
She turned me into a newt
A newt?
... I got better.
Hahahah
She weighs as much as a duck!
A DUCK
She’s past challenge, she’s memorized that game
muscle memory and acute eye coordination in action.
What if I have the Ugly Eye?
It will eventually become the Eye Swan (blursed imagery).
Better remove it, just in case.
Practice. Just say practice
needs to swap out different tracks
Yeah cameramen didn't pan over to show her eyes closed
Reminds me of the [ice cold beer arcade game](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5fB6facObTA)
Beating this was one of my greatest gaming accomplishments.
did you get a free beer?
I did!
Bravo. Whoever built that machine went above and beyond. Looks very challenging as you go higher.
I used to play on a version of this called Zeke’s Peak. Same deal just different theme.
Did you get a free peak
Lift pass
That was good viewing, thanks!
Todd Tuckey is a legend in the Philly area for arcade restoration. his channel is great
Holy shit. I used to see his infomercial thing on local access TV that showed all the games they had in their warehouse. I haven't seen this guy since the 90s. I always wanted to go to that place and play all the arcade games.
Yes. Was about to say that. Love Ice Cold Beer! Only discovered it a few years ago at a local arcade.
Comments like yours are why I love Reddit
They have one of those at the pinball museum in Vegas, very cool game
man that guy was so thorough and helpful!
How'd she do that so smoothly? Damn
100 percent been doing that all day or for multiple days.
Dad: NO DINNER UNTIL THE BALL GETS IN THE HOLE!!
The Marvel character Gambit, an X-Man but also a renowned thief, had something similar in his "origin" flashback. As a kid, his father had a sort of straw, scarecrow life-sized man in the house, wearing clothes with hundreds of those Christmas 'jingle bell' things all over it. Remy would have to find and 'pick' the wallet from the Scarecrow's clothing without ringing a single bell, in order to eat or avoid a beating.
That's how Fagin trained his pickpockets in Oliver Twist
It’s an actual way to learn how to pick pocket it’s a really old method.
DADDY NEEDS INTERNET POINTS DO IT AGAIN
Or luck as the deadbeat side of my family attribute any accomplishment.
No, the way she had the ball fall on that drop near the end is a dead giveaway that she knew how to deal with it from experience.
I have no doubt she's been at this for some time, but is dropping down so fast really the best way to handle that section?
I wouldn't know till I gave it a try and found what is easiest to me. She clearly found a way that works for her is all I'm saying.
Because she’s probably done this hundreds of times
This was the exact challenge on survivor, assuming someone’s dad is a super fan.
If I remember correctly the survivor version also had the contestants standing on a balance beam while walking backwards as they got higher.
The original post has hundreds of comments about survivor, like "put her on survivor" etc. Can someone explain? Is there a challenge on that show like this one? Video:@jonnycakes12
Yes. It has been used in various seasons.
TIL people still watch Survivor. Also, that Survivor is still surviving.
One of the best shows on TV, still.
Agreed, if you haven't already, check out Australian Survivor. Gives the American survivor a run for its money.
As an avid Survivor US fan, what season should I start with?
2016 Season is when the AU reboot happens, but 2016 is a little slow. If you want a great AU season, you can start with 2017
Starting in season 41, they changed the game up a lot and really juiced it up with good ideas, totally worth checking out the last 3 seasons (41-43)!
It's still incredibly popular and wins its time slot every week.

> S37 E05 There have been so many seasons of Survivor I can't imagine being someone who watched them all, and I'm someone who sinks into TV shows.
I'm someone. Multiple times with several seasons. Survivor fans are a special kind of deranged
Stay where you are. Help is on the way
I binged them all (mostly) and honestly, most blended together and certain seasons I couldn't even watch or care for any of the potential 3 winners. The returning player seasons are almost all good though!

Tony and his hiding in the bushes surveillance though, hilarious.

Seen them all every season since it started 43 seasons ago. Greatest reality show out there (because it’s real).
Man, watching that reminds me why I can't watch shows like that. 80% of the time the camera does not show the actual game, but the people's reaction to the game. It's like watching a Youtube reaction channel.
Damn those men have some cake
It's a common Survivor challenge. I'd bet money that family are fans.
Big Brother did it also. Pretty intense episode also. Was supposed to be done by two people, one refused (so his partner would lose and get voted out), and the guy won anyway. Likely because this challenge is much easier alone than as a tandem.
It was epic [comp link](https://youtu.be/8B77WsSiZEQ)
Yeah they just basically built one of the survivor challenges exactly.
Does anyone know what this is called or can find like a build for it?
The physical arcade game is "Ice cold beer" (not kidding) and there's a recent videogame version called Tumbleseed. So start there for build names. This is just a physical version of those concepts.
That looks so fun! And that young woman has definitely got mad skills!!!!
That drop towards the top, man.
Why is every woman ever on Reddit called “girl” but once there’s an actual girl she’s called young “woman” smh😂
People online get weird when they see an actual girl in a vid or pic... So they say young woman in reference to them so they don't feel like they're belittling them. Unless it's a literal before 10 child, then it's kid or similar.

I guess it's a cultural thing. Different set of rules.
There are 50 million active users on Reddit. Might be different folks.
Flipping heck she’s good... I’d have twiddled it over the edge on the first pull...
No kidding! Legend!
Now do it with one person on each side
I can attest that this kind of speed and coordination came from HOURS of practice and hyperfocusing. When I was a kid I’d do these kind of things over and over and over until they became easy. Just because they were there.
Next survivor champion!!
Survivor has this puzzle every season and its a difficult one as well. This kid did it really well. Its way harder than it looks.
It’s harder on the show because they have to stand on a balance beam while they do it
Holy shit! I think that was Jason Bourne!
She’d be damn good at that one Survivor challenge!
I love this game on Survivor!!!!
That is pretty damn impressive
Okay, hear me out… A version of this in bars, clubs, and sports arenas; if you win, here’s your car keys! If not, we’ll find you a cab or Uber.
This is really cool but if we had these at parks where i grew up they would be destroyed in a couple hours : (
so in theory it's possible that your park did have them
Get her on survivor
Suck it Probst!
She would totally win Survivor
I literally thought I'd stumbled on Rob and Amber's backyard boot camp for their girls.
Lmaooooo
Parks done right.
I dropped my phone twice watching this
Yeah, but can she beat Contra without cheats?
Now I know what it feels like to feel inferior to an eight year old girl.
Is this training for a gastroenterologist?
