Noelle makes a major comeback on ‘Survivor 43’
“Get That Money, Baby” showed the final eight players competing for a reward. Jeff Probst revealed the winner would go to a sanctuary where they’ll eat pizza, dessert, and alcohol. They’ll spend the night there with pillows and blankets.
Karla Cruz, Sami Layadi, Jesse Lopez, Cody Assenmacher, Cassidy Clark, Mike Gabler, Owen Knight, and Noelle competed against each other. Noelle was at pace with those in the lead. But she fell behind at the balance beam. She kept falling and started to doubt herself when hopping on one leg wasn’t working.
“I have no f***ing idea how I’m gonna do this,” the athlete said as she reset. Everyone else made it to the last portion of the challenge as she continued to struggle.
She started crying as she kept trying. Noelle finally got her sandbag but still had to cross the beam. She finally finished by hopping on one leg. After her second try, she managed to throw her sandbag, and it landed on her post.
She immediately collapsed on the ground and started crying as everyone congratulated her. “I have seen a lot of things in 43 seasons,” Probst said. “That is up there at the top.”
