Gameplay[edit | edit source]

Challenge games[edit | edit source]

  • Pitiful: A player has to fight their opponent in a pit, with each players' hands tied to where they cannot grab their opponent. Prior to the challenge, match-ups are determined in which Tyson Kidd asks each player to pick colored tokens out of a bag, and players with matching tokens are paired up in same-gender heats. The challenge is played in four rounds of separate male and female heats. The first player to get pushed out of the pit is eliminated, and the process repeats until the last player standing wins.
    • Winners: Owen & Gia
  • Sporty: This challenge consists of a series of five tasks, each representing a particular sport.
    • Sucker Punched: Each player must jump on a trampoline to hit an elevated punching bag. The top 12 players (both male and female) that hit the bag the most times in 2 minutes will move on to the next round.
    • Basket Beam: Each player must walk across a series of balance beams to untie their respective colored balls. They must then take the balls and shoot them in their baskets. The first 9 players (both male and female) that land 2 balls in their basket will move on to the next round.
    • Air Hockey: Each player must race across a hockey rink to grab a puck and place it in their tube. While racing to get the pucks, the players will be hit with fans that will make it very difficult to get across the ice. The first 6 players (both male and female) that get 6 pucks in their tube will move on to the next round.
    • Bullseye: Each player must throw an oversized dart onto an oversized target. The top 3 players (both male and female) to get their dart closest to the center will move on to the final round.
    • Painted Target: Each player, using a paintball gun, must shoot at their targets. The first player (both male and female) to hit all 6 of their targets will win the challenge.
      • Winners: Dave & Ariane
  • Chicken Dance: Players must run on a treadmill at a fast speed while trying to grab five rubber chickens hanging from the ceiling. If a player falls off of the treadmill, they must go back to the beginning at start again. After grabbing the chickens, racers had to jump on a platform at the end of the treadmill in order to stop their time. A player is disqualified if he/she takes more than twenty minutes to complete the challenge. The male and female player with the fastest time win.
    • Winners: Jayden & Gia
  • Pull Back: Competing in male/female pairs, each player must pull themselves across a ladder to grab balls at the end of the ladder. Their partner is also pulling themselves across the ladder but on the other side, making it more difficult to get to the other side. Once each player gets to their respective side, they must each grab a ball and race back to the middle. Then, the pair will switch balls and place their partner's ball in their rack. A pair is disqualified if they drop one of their balls. The pair that puts all 12 balls into their partner's rack in the fastest time wins.
    • Winners: Miles & Elena
  • Tea Please: In separate male and female heats, each player selects one of 2,500 cups of tea and drinks it. At the bottom of each cup there is a Hindi word (either good, bad, or perfect). If a player finds a bad cup, they must put it back on the table and select a different one. If a player finds a good cup, they must exchange it for a figurine of the Taj Mahal to place on one of their opponent's towers. Once a player has six figurines on their tower, they are eliminated. However, if a player finds the perfect cup, they must exchange it for a giant figurine of the Taj Mahal, which they must place on an opponent's tower. This giant figurine will automatically eliminate a player regardless of the number of figurines previously on their tower. A player is disqualified if they break a cup. The last male and last female standing win.
    • Winners: Ryan & Michelle
  • Hip Replacement: Players must hang upside down suspended by their hips over the water. When the horn sounds, the players will ride on a zip line towards the water. Once they reach the end of the zip line, the players must pull a rope releasing them into the water. They must then swim around a flag and touch a buoy to stop their time. The fastest male and female to reach the buoy win.
    • Winners: Jake & Kammy
  • Diggers: Competing in male/female pairs with one of their legs tied to their partner's, each player must dig in one of the six dig sites to find a fossil. Once a pair finds a fossil, they will move to the next dig site. Once they find a fossil in each of the six dig sites they must try to insert one of the fossils into the board, which will release another fossil. That fossil will fit into another hole, which releases another fossil, and so on until the board is full. Once the board is full, three numbers will be revealed which the pair will use to unlock a combination lock and raise a flag. The pair that raises their flag in the fastest time wins.
    • Winners: Buzz & Savannah
  • Pull the Rug Out: Each player is asked a series of trivia questions by host Tyson Kidd, which includes spelling, sports, geography, U.S. currency, the periodic table and math. The challenge is played in two rounds, one for males and one for females. Each player is standing on a rug suspended above water, and if they correctly answer a question, they will stay in the game, but will get an X for each wrong answer. If a player gets two X's, he/she's rug is yanked out from under them, dropped them into the water and eliminating them. The last male and last female standing win.
    • Winners: Ryan & Jade
  • Mystery Meats: Each player must eat two slices of big pizza consisting of a mystery meat, vegetable, spice, and sweet food. Once a player has finished eating their pizza, they must figure out what each mystery ingredient is. They must take one of the ten choices from each category and lock in their answer. For each correct ingredient, a player will receive one point. Players will also receive bonus points for finishing their pizza in a fast time. The player who finishes first will receive the most bonus points, while the last person to finish will receive the fewest bonus points. A player will receive no bonus points if they vomit while eating the pizza and will not be able to continue eating the pizza. In each round, the player with the fewest points is eliminated. The last male and last female standing will win.
    • Winners: Jake & Savannah
  • Blood Bath: Competing in male/female pairs, each pair must run across a field to a fountain of blood, where they must collect the blood in their bucket. With the bucket positioned between their backs, the pair will then run back across the field and deposit the blood in their larger bucket. If a team drops the bucket during transferring, they must dump out all of the blood from that bucket and start over. After 10 minutes, the pair with the most blood in their large bucket wins.
    • Winners: Hunter & Alyssa
  • Clockwork: Each player must run up and down, intersecting half-pipes that are dug several feet deep, and have to transfer five colored balls and five white balls to their ball rack on the other side. Because the half-pipes intersect, players may collide with one another in the center. The first male and first female to transfer their 10 balls to the appropriate racks win.
    • Winners: Ryan & Michelle
  • Coded: Competing in male/female pairs, one player from the pair must use a series of decoding devices to decipher a series of clues needed to find a shipping container. Once the player thinks they know the location of the container, they must tell their partner who will then race through the thousands of shipping containers to find the one that their partner described. Once they find the correct container, they must grab the flag from inside and place it on their board. Once one player finds two flags, they will switch with their partner. The pair that finds all four flags in the shortest amount of time wins.
    • Winners: Buzz & Savannah
  • Leap of Faith: Each player must jump over a Styrofoam bar, which is part of a giant metal jump rope. Each time the bar swings around they must jump over it to avoid breaking it. If they break the Styrofoam they will be eliminated from the challenge. The last male and last female standing win.
    • Winners: Jayden & Michelle
  • Search and Rescue: Played in three male/female pairs, each pair must work together, using a two-person saw, to saw off two pieces of a log. Once they cut both pieces, they will use the pieces to make their way across a rope bridge. When each player reaches the other side, it's every man and woman for themselves. The players must then use ice hooks and snow shoes to make their way up a mountain. Once to the top, the players must use an avalanche beacon to find its pair and a riddle. They will then use that riddle to solve a combination lock in order to release a large mannequin. Players must then finally race to the finish line with their mannequin and the first man and woman to cross the finish line not only wins the challenge, but also an automatic bid in the final challenge, while the remaining players are automatically sent to the last elimination. The second-place male and female get to choose which game will be played in the last elimination.
    • Winners: Buzz & Michelle

Elimination games[edit | edit source]

  • Sticks and Stones: Players are placed at the center of a circle and are asked to place both hands on a wooden pole. Each player is then weighed down with 50% of their body weight in rocks. The first contestant to wrestle the pole out of his or her opponent's hands wins.

Final challenge[edit | edit source]

  • World Tour-Ture: The final challenge begins with each player attempting to kick five penalty-shot soccer balls into a soccer net, past their opponent. The male and female player that kick the most penalty shots past their opponent earn a five-minute headstart on their opponents. Each player must then ride their vespa down a dirt path to the first checkpoint "Scrubs", in which each player must wash a plane to reveal four numbers that they must memorize for a later checkpoint. The next checkpoint is "Eliminator," in which each player must compete in four mini games representative of the four elimination games throughout the series (Sticks and Stones, Head Rush, The Jungle, and Chimney Sweep). The third checkpoint is "Slingball", in which each player must use a slingshot to land a ball in each of their three baskets. If a player misses a shot, they must drink a "Seafood Shake" before making another attempt. Following the third checkpoint, players must cross the finish line to clock in their Day 1 time. Each player must depart for Day 2 exactly 12 hours after finishing Day 1. On Day 2, players must fly to Hawaii and make their way to the beach for the fourth checkpoint, "Sacrifice". Players must season a pig and then carry it across the beach to a Hawaiian luau, where they must prepare the pig for a cooking before moving on. At the fifth and final checkpoint, "Total Recall", each player is given thirty recognizable items from different challenges and had to place the fifteen specific items that matched the following requirements: three must be circular, three must be liquids, two must be ropes, two must be or be from animals, two must be containers, two must be food items, and one must be a floor mat. Once a player places the correct fifteen items, they must race to the finish line where the first male and first female to finish will win $150,000.

Notes[edit | edit source]

  • ^1 : At the beginning of the season, Tyson Kidd told the players to swim from their helicopters in the water to the beach. He revealed that the first male and first female to finish would win an advantage in the next few days. Jake and Courtney were the first of their respective gender and won the advantage. Drew and Lily were the last male and female to finish and were told that being the last one to finish was grounds for an automatic elimination. Therefore, Drew and Lily were sent home.
  • ^2 : The Dave vs. Todd elimination was split between episodes 8 and 9, while the Courtney vs. Kammy elimination was not shown until the beginning of episode 9.
  • ^3 : The "Search and Rescue" challenge in Episode 14 was won by Buzz and Michelle, guaranteeing themselves a spot in the final challenge. All other competitors were automatically nominated for the elimination. Jake and Jade came in second place in this challenge, and earned the right to select the elimination they wanted to compete in — vs. Jayden and Kammy, respectively. (The contestant at the end of the selection process also had a chance to select the elimination game (albeit randomly) throughout the entire season.)
