I know, it was disgusting, but it could make or break some of the players. I feel like once Fear Factor took over the idea Survivor kind of dropped it. Do you think they should make them eat gross stuff at challenges?

They did inthe first few seasons-for example the contestants would have to eat fish that had been sitting out inthe sun for days (with flies and larve), or huge grubs-really disgusting. Does anyone remember that??

I don't know where these fear factor people are coming from. Survivor invented eating disgusting stuff, right from Season One. Every year, they would have a challenge based on that. And in season one that is when they hit the ratings! EVERYONE watched that episode!
Years later, Fear Factor comes along and does the eat gross stuff every episode. Yawn. So I think Survivor has been there, done that and has moved on to other ground breaking ideas.
They did it in most of them until recently. First was the larvae. Then the next season was a spinning wheel to decide. They did drink a cup of blood.
Yes, I think they should do it. It is something that works well later in the series when contestants don't have the strength to do a physical, or even a mental challenge. But I guess they figure it has become too predictable.

They stop doing the food challenges because they stopped giving them rice and food stuffs. So, the teams have been having to eat what ever they can find. Quite often that is worse than anything the show can come up with. Not to mention, the early contestants have come down with cases of malnutrition and disentary.

I do remember them eating gross stuff and i liked it. i am not sure if they ever did it for immunity challenges, but they always did crazy eating challenges back in the day for the survivors to win luxury items. i don't know why they stopped, but i agree they should bring it back.

I recall those days. I don't want them to eat gross food. The physical/mental challenges were always better to look at. After a month in, they'll practically eat anything.
