Gameplay[edit | edit source]

Challenge games[edit | edit source]

  • High Dune: Played in separate male/female rounds, players must race up and over two sand dunes and retrieve a ball that has been buried in the sand at the top of the dune. Players must then race to the base of the second dune with their balls to exchange them for a bag of puzzle pieces, which they must solve at one of the puzzle station. The first-place prospects to complete their puzzle will earn first pick in the draft, while the last-place finishers of each round are eliminated from the competition.
    • Winners: Greg & Shea (Erik and Tess)
    • Eliminated: Kwame & Gabby
  • Solid Foundation: Teams start on parallel balance beams while tied together by a short rope. Players must work with their tied-together teammate to transfer bricks from one end of the balance beam to the other and build a pyramid-like structure on the other side. Once each player successfully transfers 10 bricks, players must work with their teammate to carry their flag across as the final piece. The first three teams to plant their team flag form the Tribunal.
    • Winners: Sarah & Cash, Brian & Virginia, Helen & Kwame
  • Vault Start: Teams start on a large platform suspended above the water. When the horn sounds, each player must run and jump onto a large pole vault in the water, in an attempt to propel further on the course before landing. Once they hit the water, players must swim around a flag and touch a buoy to stop their time. The three teams with the fastest times form the Tribunal.
    • Winners: Caleb & Tess, Greg & Anna Leigh, Ian & Macy
  • Truck Off: Teams start harnessed to two large semi-trucks and must swing back and forth while moving at 50 mph transferring rings over to their partner. Each teammate has ten rings to toss to their partner, with the ability to score 20 points total. The three teams who transfer the most rings in the fastest time form the Tribunal.
    • Winners: Caleb & Tess, Lacey & Erik, Estelle & Rhys
  • Fresh Eyes: Teams start with one team member as the caller while the other is blindfolded. The caller must direct their teammate to eight stations, where they must pull a lever to release an overhead bucket of water and a bag of puzzle pieces. Once all eight bags are collected, players must switch positions and the new caller must direct their newly-blindfolded teammate in solving the puzzle. The first three teams to finish their puzzle form the Tribunal.
    • Winners: Sarah & Cash, Sydney & Crosby, Shea & Dane
  • Burning Rubber: Teams start chained together and must race 200 yards across the desert and up a sand dune to their color-coded tires. They must then race back to the starting line with one of the tires in order to build a pyramid, with the largest tire on the bottom and the smallest on top. The first three teams to transfer 14 tires and complete the pyramid correctly form the Tribunal.
    • Winners: Greg & Anna Leigh, Sarah & Cash, Lacey & Erik
  • Head Game: Teams start tied together and with a large basket jointly attached to their helmets. When the horns sounds, balls will start being launched into the air and teams must run across the field to successfully catch the ball in their basket. Each ball is of different point value: either 1, 3, or 5. In order for the ball to count, teams must catch the ball before it hits the ground and may not use their hands. After 15 minutes, the three teams with the most points form the Tribunal.
    • Winners: Silas & Tess, Sydney & Crosby, Lacey & Erik
  • Fire and Ice: Teams start on top of a large altar. One team member must race into a sauna chamber where they must walk across a series of hot coals while memorizing a series of Namibian wildlife symbols. Once they have the symbols memorized, they must race back to explain to their partner where each symbol is placed. The second team member must then race into a large ice bath where they must replicate the symbols at their station. The first three teams to correctly replicate their symbols form the Tribunal.
    • Winners: Sarah & Cash, Ian & Macy, Shea & Dane
  • Buoy Ball: Teams start on a floating platform suspended in the middle of the ocean. Teams must complete an aquatic obstacle course while collecting five buoys along the way. When the horn sounds, teams must immediately jump off of the platform and grab their first two buoys; guide the third buoy (along with themselves) through a rope obstacle; then through a net run, down a slide, and over a balance beam to retrieve the fourth buoy; and finally dive down 15-feet to unhook and retrieve the final buoy. Once all buoys have been collected, teams must swim to the finish platform where they must shoot the buoys into their hoop. The first three teams to land all five buoys form the Tribunal.
    • Winners: Greg & Anna Leigh, Silas & Tess, Ian & Macy
  • Square Biz: Players start inside a giant rotating cube. They must find a hanging key, which they will use to unlock a series of boxes in nesting doll fashion, where the key to the next box is found within the box of the most-recently opened one. Once they have opened all ten boxes, they must jump out of the cube and into the water to stop their time. The three players with the fastest times form the Tribunal.
    • Winners: Ian, Erik, and Sarah
  • Balanced Budget: Players must place a large coin on top of a pole and carry it while navigating a balance beam maze. Along the way, players must build a stack of coins on top of their pole, making it more difficult to balance as the stack grows higher. If at any point a player's stack of coins falls, they must collect their coins and go back to the most recent checkpoint to reset. The first three players to balance all 21 coins across the finish line form the Tribunal.
    • Winners: Cash, Ian, and Tess
  • Clock In: Players are asked a series of trivia questions by host Tyson Kidd, which includes spelling, sports, geography, pop culture, U.S. history, and even past challenges. Players are suspended above the water standing on a giant clock. If they correctly answer a question, they will stay in the game, but if they answer incorrectly, they will earn a strike. Once a player answers three questions incorrectly, they are pushed off the clock, dropped into the water, and eliminated. The last three players standing form the Tribunal.
    • Winners: Anna Leigh, Sarah, and Silas
  • Bone to Pick: Players must tie one hand behind their back, and start by making a 3-link chain of hooks in order to hook a bag of puzzle pieces. Players must then drag the hooked pieces to the puzzle station and complete the lower portion of a fish skeleton puzzle. Players must repeat this process for the middle and upper portions, while also increasing to a 4-link and 5-link chain, respectively. The first three players to finish their fish skeleton puzzle form the Tribunal.
    • Winners: Erik, Tess, and Ian
  • Double Helix: Players must use two gigantic ropes to create a helix structure on a platform that is suspended 30 feet above the water. The platform contains five pillars on each side. Players must climb each pillar and hang the ropes on each one and braid them back and forth to create a stable surface. Once the structure is complete, players must traverse the newly-created helix like a horizontal ladder to the other side, where they must jump into the water to stop their time. The male and female player with the fastest time win, while the male and female player with the slowest time are eliminated.
    • Winners: Anna Leigh & Ian
    • Eliminated: Joaquin & Margo

Killing Floor games[edit | edit source]

  • Skee Shot: Teams start on an elevated platform with a large ramp. Players must work with their teammate to oscillate and elevate the ramp using a series of ropes to position it so that a ball can roll down the ramp and smash their team's target tiles. The first team to successfully smash all 10 of their team's tiles wins.
    • Played by: Hannah & Shawn vs. Sienna & Javier
  • Better Shape Up: Teams start in the middle of the Killing Floor with a double-sided climbing wall. Each player must traverse the climbing wall high enough to leap off of it and grab one of the geometric puzzle pieces dangling above. Once a team collects all ten of their puzzle pieces, they must use the supplemental pieces to complete the puzzle. The first team to solve their puzzle wins.
    • Played by: Sydney & Crosby vs. Brian & Virginia
  • Rope-A-Dope: Players start attached to their teammate as well as a gigantic rope. Players have 15 minutes to jump and climb through a series of obstacles to create as many knots or entanglements as possible. After the 15 minutes, teams must switch positions and now untie the tangled ropes created by their opponents. The first team to untie their opponent's rope and drag it across the finish line wins.
    • Played by: Wade & Zolita vs. Jackson & Delaney
  • Carry Out: Players are harnessed to a rope tied behind their back in the center of a roped-off circle on the Killing Floor. Players must then pull against their opponents to get outside of the circle to ring their bell. The first male and female to ring their bell win and form a team together.
    • Played by: Tess vs. Eva vs. Helen & Silas vs. Caleb vs. Kwame
  • Wheel Breakers: One team member starts strapped inside a giant wheel. They must roll the wheel back and forth so their partner, who is strapped to the outside of the wheel, can rearrange puzzle pieces on three different poles along the track to solve a puzzle, similar to the Tower of Hanoi. The first team to solve the puzzle wins.
    • Played by: Shea & Dane vs. Wade & Zolita
  • Stole on Goal: Each team has one team member start on a small platform above a pool of water and in front of a net. When the horn sounds, the other member of the opposing team will run up, jump out over the water and throw the ball at the net, while the goalkeeper tries to deflect the shot. If the ball bypasses the goalkeeper and goes into the net, the thrower's team scores a point. After 10 throws, team members must switch positions to now be the goalkeeper or thrower. The first team to score 12 points wins.
    • Played by: Greg & Anna Leigh vs. Estelle & Rhys
  • Pour Me: Players each start with a large measuring cup and are strapped to a large swing facing their partner in the center of the Killing Floor. When the horn sounds, players must begin swinging in order to get high and far enough to reach a jug of colored liquid. One team member must fill their measuring cup with liquid and then swing over to dump the liquid into their partner's cup, who must dump the contents into their team container. The first team to fill their container enough to tip it over and raise their flag wins.
    • Played by: Lacey & Erik vs. Sydney & Crosby
  • Cannon Fodder: Players begin in the center of the Killing Floor next to a large cannon. When the horn sounds, Host Tyson Kidd will launch a ball from the cannon into the air and players must race to retrieve the ball by battling against their opponent to gain possession and bring the ball to their team's basket. The first player(s) to land the ball in their basket scores a point. Played in same-gendered and duo heats, the first team to score 5 points wins.
    • Played by: Sarah & Cash vs. Hannah & Shawn
  • Hall Pass: Players must run through a narrow hallway past their opponent to ring a bell. The first player to ring the bell scores a point. The first player to score three points wins. Note: This is similar to the original "Hall Pass" from Battle of the Exes, Battle of the Exes II, and Invasion of the Champions.
    • Played by: Silas vs. Greg
  • Ring Them Bells: Players each start with 25 large weighted kettle bells on their side of the Killing Floor. When the horn sounds, players must pick up the kettle bells and throw them across the Killing Floor onto their opponent's side. After twenty minutes, the player with the fewest kettle bells on their side of the Killing Floor wins.
    • Played by: Anna Leigh vs. Macy
  • Safe and Sound: Players each start in the center of the Killing Floor with a large locked safe. To find the combination, players must solve three math equations, each corresponding to a specific number in the three-digit code. Players must then use a rowing machine system to move the lock to the corresponding numbers in each direction (using the traditional lock mechanism) to unlock the safe. The first player to correctly unlock the safe and ring the bell wins.
    • Played by: Erik vs. Dane
  • Sumo Style: Players start on an elevated platform surrounded by sand. Using a padded bag, or any other body part other than their hands, players must try to knock their opponent off of the platform. The last person to fall off of the platform and touch the sand scores a point. The first person to three points wins.
    • Played by: Shea vs. Lacey

Notes[edit | edit source]

  • ^1 : Before the draft took place, Freddy was removed from the competition due to a broken hand that he suffered at the first challenge. Kwame was initially eliminated after finishing in last place at the first challenge; however, he was subsequently brought back to the competition to be partnered with Helen, who was temporarily left without a partner at the draft.
  • ^2 : Anna Leigh was disqualified from Part 1 of the final challenge after suffering dehydration. She placed 8th. Shea quit the game just before Part 2 of the final challenge. She placed 6th.
  • ^3 : After the first leg of the final challenge, a tribunal was held between the Top 3 players (Erik, Ian, Cash) of Part 1 of the final challenge, with the remaining players (Sarah, Shea, Silas, Tess) being nominated. The Tribunal voted for Silas to go into a special elimination, who called-out Tess as his opponent. Silas was eliminated and placed 7th.
