Eliminations

Following each challenge, a team or a cast member is voted into an elimination round to take on the least successful team from the previous mission. In elimination rounds, they must compete against one another to determine which one is eliminated from the season. Each season has its own, very distinct elimination round, distinguished from those of other seasons in title, design, and general atmosphere. Starting with War of the Worlds, select seasons would feature elimination rounds during the Final Challenge.

Flagship[]

The Gauntlet[]

The Gauntlet was the first elimination format to be used in the series during the original season of The Gauntlet. In this location, both the Real World and Road Rules teams would vote in a player of their choosing to compete in elimination. The game for that match would be chosen by the roll of a die. There was one die with specific games for opposite-sex matchups as well as a die for same-sex matchups.

Ride 'Em Cowboy: Two competitors would hold on to a mechanical bull with just one hand; whoever falls off first loses.
Dead Man's Drop: Two competitors are suspended 10 feet into the air on a pole. They then attempt to hold on to the pole by hanging upside down with their legs.
Hangman: Similar to Dead Man's Drop; competitors are still suspended 10 feet into the air, only they hang on the pole with their hands and are positioned right side up.
Perfect Fit: Two competitors first must jump into a pool and pick up their respective puzzle pieces (which are scattered about the pool). After getting their puzzle pieces, they then must make the puzzle.
Knock Your Block Off: Two competitors joust on a beam right above a pool. Whoever gets knocked off first loses.
Pole Climb: Two competitors climb a 10-foot pole. Whoever gets to the top first pulls a lever that drops the opponent's pole into the pool.

The Inferno[]

The Inferno is introduced as a new elimination location in The Inferno. In this format featuring Real World versus Road Rules, after each team challenge, teams would nominate two players from their own team for the Inferno. Each team would then select one of the two nominees from the opposing team to go into The Inferno. Unlike the Gauntlet, there would be another challenge with an immunity life-saver up for grabs before the actual Inferno would take place which allowed nominated players to save themselves from facing elimination and elect another member of their team to compete. The Infernos are split between male and female elimination days.

Bug Helmet: The contestants put their heads into glass boxes filled with hundreds of cockroaches with syrup covering their face. The player who stays in their box the longest wins.
Chili Counter: The player who eats the most chilis in a one-hour sitting wins.
Human Candelabra: The two players have a candle in each hand while holding their arm's out straight, the player who holds that position the longest wins.
Noise Pollution: Each player must wear a set of headphones while standing on a two-foot high platform for two hours. If there is a tie, then the players must stand on a four-inch block with one leg, the last person standing wins.
Don't Toss Your Cookies: The players must eat cookies and drink milk, then get onto a spinning platform for 10 minutes, they continue this until one of the players vomits. The player who does not vomit wins the Inferno.
Scratchathon: Each player is covered in itching powder and must walk on a treadmill for three hours, whoever outlasts there opponent wins. In the event of a tie, each contestant must jump rope, whoever jump ropes the longest wins the Inferno.
Brick by Brick: The players must transfer their bricks one at a time from one pile to the next, while walking across a plank. Players are disqualified if they drop a brick, break one, or fall off the plank. Whoever has transferred the most bricks at the end of three and a half hours wins.
Smell You Later: The contestants are each placed into their own plexiglass coffins, after every half hour for the first hour and a half, another layer of bad smelling substances are added to the coffins. At the end of four hours, if both players are still in their coffins, each player must hold their breath in the water, whoever holds it the longest wins the Inferno.

The Inferno II[]

Players once again face The Inferno in The Inferno II. In this format now featuring players split between the Good Guys and Bad Asses, the rules for elimination are mostly the same from The Inferno, except this time the teams only select one player from the opposing team for elimination, with everyone available for nomination on the respective male or female Inferno days.

Hang Tough: Contestants had to hang on monkey bars and try and knock their opponent off. The last player standing wins the Inferno.
Shack Attack: Each player will be shackled by the waist to a wall and must run across the field to retrieve a key that will unlock their harness. The first player to unlock their harness wins the Inferno.
Knock Your Block Off: Each contestant will wear a helmet with a block fastened on top. The object of the game is to try and knock the block off their opponent's head using a pugil stick. Whoever knocks their opponents block off wins the Inferno. Originally from The Gauntlet.
That's a Wrap: The objective is to mummify yourself using a long spool of cloth. The first person to completely finish their spool and run across the field to their team flag wins the Inferno.
Balls In: Each player will be given five chances to get as many balls inside a basket. If a player steps out of the ring the basket is surrounded by, their ball is considered "dead." The player who has more baskets than their opponent wins the Inferno.
Patchwork: Each player will be harnessed to a bungee while wearing a gym suit with 27 patches. The object is to rip off all the patches from the opposing player and place as many patches as they can in their basket. The player with the most patches in their basket wins the Inferno.
Pegged: Each player must climb to the top of a wall using two pegs. The player who can get to the top of the wall and rip their flag off wins the Inferno.
Spinner: Each player will be strapped to a giant wheel and will be spun at different speeds. The player the holds on to their team flag the longest wins the Inferno.

The Gauntlet 2[]

The Gauntlet would be reused as an elimination format in the sequel season The Gauntlet 2. For this season, a male and female captain were determined at the beginning of the season for both the Rookies and Veterans teams. After each team challenge, the losing team captain was sent to the Gauntlet where they would face an opponent of the same sex voted in by their team. Gauntlets alternated between "Male Gauntlets" and "Female Gauntlets" and Gauntlet games were chosen by spinning a wheel.

Name That Coconut: Players had to find the coconut with the name of the person that is the answer to a Real World/Road Rules trivia question.
Beach Brawl: Players had to wrestle their opponent out of a ring.
Capture the Flag: Players had to climb up a 20-foot (approx. 6 meters) rope net to get a flag.
Reverse Tug-O-War: Players are tied to each other, facing away from each other. First to get their flag wins.
Sticky Situation: Players had to stick balls to a board as their opponent tries to stop you.
Knock Off: The wheel never landed on this challenge; the rules and gameplay of the challenge are unknown.
Spin Again: If a Gauntlet challenge was done 3 times, the next time there is a Gauntlet, that challenge is taken off the wheel for that instance and is replaced by Spin Again.
Captain's Choice: The captain of the team going into the Gauntlet will choose which challenge he or she will be doing.
Challenger's Choice: The person the team chose to oppose the captain in the Gauntlet will choose which challenge he or she will be doing.

Fresh Meat[]

Fresh Meat introduced a new elimination format, Exile. In this format, following each daily challenge, the Winners nominates another pair for Exile. Following this, the remaining pairs get together to vote for the other Exile pair. Following each Exile nomination, the pairs are able to compete in another challenge, in which nominated pairs are allowed to win a pardon from Exile and nominate another team for elimination. Exile is a race between two pairs. Unlike the elimination games of other seasons of The Challenge, the remaining pairs do not watch the battle between the two Exile pairs. The Exile pairs run a course and whoever crosses the finish line first stays, while the other pair goes home. Along the way, there are two optional puzzle stations where, if the puzzle is solved correctly, they will get a prize that will benefit them in the race (such as dropping their bags or taking minutes off their total time.) To make matters more difficult, each member will be carrying bags equal to the weight of the luggage they brought to the Challenge. There are three different Exile courses on this season: Beach, Forest, and Cliffside. Each Exile contains a start, a finish, and two puzzles; however, the terrain of the course may affect a team's performance.

The Duel[]

In The Duel, eliminations are designated by male or female Duel days. During nomination, the winner of the gender designated for the Duel is safe from being sent in and begins a voting process by voting for a member of the opposite gender, who then selects a member of the original gender. This process continues until there is one person remaining of the selected Duel gender of the day; this remaining person is assigned to compete in the Duel that evening. The person "voted" into the Duel then selects a competitor of the same gender to go against him/her that night, for the exception of that day's challenge winner, and randomly selects from one of four cards held by T.J. to determine the Duel game in which the two players will compete.

I Can: Players bet on how many specific items they can lift in a cart, such as watermelons, logs, or coffee bags.
Ascender: Players must climb a rope, pull another rope to release a basket containing puzzle pieces, and climb back down the rope to assemble a tiling puzzle similar to a tangram.
Pole Wrestle: Players are placed at the center of a circle and are asked to place both hands on a wooden pole approximately 2 feet (0.61 m) in length. The first contestant to wrestle the pole out of his or her opponent's hands wins the Duel.
Push Me: This Duel features a pole several yards long, fixed to the ground in the center. A flag is attached by a carabiner to the ground a few yards in front of the pole. Players stand on opposite ends of the pole on the side away from the flag. Each player pushes the pole toward the flag; since the pole is fixed in the center, the players are pushing against each other. They must unclip the flag from the ground (and not merely rip it off the carabiner holding it) to win.

The Inferno 3[]

The Inferno 3 follows the same format as the previous Inferno with the following difference: life shields can only be won by players of the respective gender for that elimination day.

Head Rush: The players hang upside down by their ankles and must swing around collecting puzzle pieces. They must then construct the puzzle correctly.
Ejection: Both opponents must use jousting sticks to hit each other's targets—which in turn causes their opponent's platform to tilt 15 degrees each time the target is hit, until the opponent falls off. The first person to knock their opponent off three times wins.
Watch Your Back: A game of tag that takes place on a platform with four ladders. One player starts on top of the platform while the other player starts on the floor. When T.J. blows the whistle, they have to chase each other until one of them either tags or passes the other. The first person to score twice wins and the loser will be sent packing.
Spokesmodel: The two players climb to the top of a giant wheel; once T.J. sounds his air horn the wheel begins to spin, the longer the two players remain on the wheel, the faster it will spin. The player that remains on the wheel for the longest amount of time will be the winner.
Smash House: In this Inferno both contestants are given a metal ring and placed in a three glass boxes, each one smaller than the next, that are suspended in mid air. After the start is announced, both contestants must race against each other in order to break all of the different panes of glass, the contestant who can achieve this fastest is the winner.
Zero Gravity: Both players are put into harnesses that are attached to seventy-five-percent of their weight, making it very easy to climb the ladder, but very difficult to come down. At the top of the ladder there are eight flags; the first player to get four of the eight flags attached at the bottom of the ladder is the winner.
Corner Ball: Each person stood on opposite sides of a wall that was 9 feet long and in a triangle with a rugby ball in between them. Once T.J. says go, they both go for the ball and try to get the ball to the other person's side of the wall. The first person to get 3 of the rugby balls to the other person's side is the winner.
Shimmy: The opponents must shimmy up between walls, ripping off team flags along the way. The first one to rip off the flag at the top of the walls wins.

Notes

↑ At the "Smash House" Inferno, Timmy broke all of his glass panes plus the last pane first. But T.J. delivered the news that Timmy actually missed a pane of glass. The win was then given to Abram, and Timmy was disqualified and sent home.

The Gauntlet III[]

In The Gauntlet III, the Gauntlet is once again re-used in the Rookies versus Veterans format. After each team challenge, the winning team selects a member of the losing team (depending on which gender Gauntlet day it is) to protect from the Gauntlet as well as another member to compete in the Gauntlet. The losing team then selects one of its own players to compete against the already selected player in the Gauntlet. After both players are selected, T.J. spins a wheel to determine which game will be played in the Gauntlet. This season there are some minor rules such as no player can be saved from the Gauntlet twice in a row, and no Gauntlet game can be played consecutively.

Force Field: The two competitors are joined together by a rope that goes over the top of them by a pulley system. For one player to move forward he has to drag the other backwards. Each competitor starts at their line and at the start of the Gauntlet they both race to cross their opponents line. First one to do this wins.
Ram It Home: The two competitors start with a wall at their back and a sled that hangs on an overhead track in front of them. They must then use the sled to push each other. The first player to push their opponent all the way back into their own wall wins the Gauntlet.
Ball Brawl: The two competitors have to return footballs, which are aligned in a longitudinal pattern, back the starting point. Beginning with the nearest ball, the competitors both race at the same time to get the ball, and they are allowed to tackle the person and strip the ball. The five balls are each contested separately (not continuously). The first three balls, black, are worth 1 point. The last two balls are white, and worth two points each. The first person to get four points wins.
Sliders: The two competitors each have to solve a slide puzzle at the same time. They are 16 space puzzle boards and each of them has the same design, and are given a picture of what the final design should look like. One of them is blue, the other red. Their teammates (and the opposing team) are allowed to watch and help them solve it.
Ankle Breaker: Ankle Breaker is a variation of Tug Of War with both participants tied together by one ankle. They have to pull their opponent through the sand until they reach a rope which will help them reach the finish line.

The Island[]

The Island is the only season to not feature any daily challenges, only eliminations. The contestants will vote three players into the Face-Off. The winner is safe from the elimination vote and earns a Key, which is what they need for a spot in the Final. The house will then vote out one of the remaining two competitors.

Leaning Tower: Contestants must swim out to retrieve 12 pegs that will help them climb a telephone pole with a bell at the top. The first to climb to the top and ring the bell wins.
Ring Wrestle: Contestants must hold on to a large ring. The player to wrestle it out of their opponents' hands wins.
The Rack: Contestants must sit between two bars set up over water. The last player to sit on the bars the longest wins.
Ball Buster: Pairs must fight to push a large ball into their goal. The first team to score wins.
Bridge It: Contestants must walk back and forth across a bridge. Every time they walk across, they must remove a plank, making it harder for the next person to get across. The last player standing on the bridge wins.
Rat in a Cage: Contestants are locked in a cage with four locks. They must untie the knotted rope around the cage to retrieve the keys. The first out of their cage ins.
Timbur:' Contestants must stand on a stump while holding two tree trunks. The player to last the longest wins.
Water Bound: Contestants are shackled by the ankles and dropped into a tank of water. They must continuously bounce up and risk back down with the weight. The person who holds the weight the longest wins.

Notes

↑ Ashli, Jenn and Paula had to pick a partner for "The Rack" Face-Off. They chose Derrick, Tyrie and Dunbar, respectively.
↑ There was no vote following the "Water Bound" Face-Off. The losing players were eliminated from the game.

The Duel II[]

The Duel II follows the same format as the original Duel with the following differences: the male and female winners of each challenge are both safe from entering the Duel, and have to agree on one person (regardless of gender) to potentially save from the Duel. The first person chosen then selects a player of the opposite gender, and so forth. Additionally, the last male and female cast member that are not chosen will both compete in the Duel and select a competitor of their respective gender to go against them.

The Elevator: Placed within the arena are two cages with pulling chains that are attached to the roof of the arena. Each contestant begins in a separate cage where they must pull their chain until it lifts their opponent to the roof of the arena. The first contestant to raise their opponent's cage to the roof wins.
Back Off: Each contestant begins with a hook attached to their backs. They must take the hook off their opponent's back and place it on a ring at the side of the arena. The first challenger to successfully hook their opponent's hook to the ring twice wins.
Duel Pole Dancing: A totem pole-like structure is located in the center of the arena. Around the outside of the pole are climbing holds for the competitors to use to make their ascent. The first competitor to reach the top of the pole and ring a bell wins the challenge.
Push Over: There is a large wooden plank placed on the ground. This Duel is won by knocking a challenger off the plank twice.
Spot On: There are two rock-climbing walls, one for each challenger. There is a pattern that is designed on each wall. The pattern is not complete, though, and each challenger must use the pieces given to them in order to complete the pattern. The first challenger to complete the pattern wins.

The Ruins[]

In The Ruins, before every challenge, the Champions and Challengers teams each select three players of each gender within their team to be nominated for the Ruins. After the challenge, the six nominees from the winning team pick one guy and one girl among themselves, as well as one guy and one girl from the losing team's nominees to battle against in the Ruins.

Shoots and Ladders: Players build a ladder with bamboo poles in front of them. Once their ladder is 100% percent, they race to the top and hit their gong. The first person to do so wins.
Shadowfighter: Standing in two separate platforms and tied together by a series of ropes by the feet and hands, the challengers must use the ropes to make the opponent fall off the platform. The first to three points wins.
Burnout: Players extinguish a fire by steering water from a center pipe, with a wheel, into the opponent's barrel. Once the barrel becomes full, it spills into a gutter, leading to a pot filled with burning cigars. The first person to extinguish their opponent's fire wins.
Oh Ring: A player from each team tries to wrestle a ring away from their opponent, while suspended above the ground from their feet. The first player to wrestle the ring away from their opponent twice wins.
Spool: Players weave a rope through an obstacle course, under and over bamboo poles. The first player to weave their rope through the obstacle course and ring their gong wins.
Hog Tie: While suspended from carabiners by their wrists and feet under a large bamboo pole, players try to shimmy their way from one end of the pole to the other, grab a key halfway through, then unlock the carabiners with the key, while laying on a platform. Once a player has unlocked the carabiners, he/she can return to the ground, then race back to the beginning side of the pole to ring a gong.
Crunch: Players are hanging upside down in a crunch position by their legs from bamboo poles, with their heads partially submerged in separate water tanks. The players try to maintain 40-lb. weights on their chests by using their ab muscles, while trying to keep their heads above water. The opponent wins if a player surrenders by pulling an emergency lever inside the tank, which releases all the water.
Rag Doll: Within a circle, the player who wrestles a rope away from their opponent wins.
Muay Thai: Players "karate-kick" the bottoms of bamboo poles that are hanging in a vertical row of an obstacle course. The first player to kick and break every bamboo pole and ring their gong wins.

Fresh Meat II[]

Fresh Meat II follows the same format as the original Fresh Meat, with the following difference: pairs do not participate in a follow-up challenge prior to the Exile. Therefore, the pairs that are selected for Exile do not have a chance to win a pardon and replace themselves with a non-Winners from the previous challenge.

Lost and Found: Pairs are given a map and must carry two weighted backpacks while running through a course in the woods. Along the way they must complete several puzzles. The first pair to reach the finish line wins.
Weight For Me: Pairs must race up a mountain and complete various brain teaser puzzles. Along the way, they must carry weight of 100 pounds on their shoulders, distributed whichever way they want.
Weight For Me: Black Out: The Exile is played the same as Weight For Me, but played at nighttime. Instead of 100 pounds, the pairs must carry around 150 pounds of weight distributed in whichever way they want.

Notes:

↑ No Exile was held in Episode 4. CJ & Sydney were selected for Exile, but did not have to compete, because the team that was chosen to face them — Katelynn & Brandon — was disqualified after Brandon consumed alcohol prior to the Exile. It had been implied, though, that Katelynn would have been physically incapable of competing after she suffered a severe knee injury during the "King Of The Wall" challenge.

Cutthroat[]

In Cutthroat, the Blue, Grey, and Red teams compete in the Gulag. The team who won the daily challenge is exempt from the Gulag while the other two teams are forced to vote in one player of each gender from their own teams for possible elimination in a secret ballot. In the event a vote is tied, a run-off vote is conducted. If the run-off does not resolve the tie, the player going into the Gulag from the opposing team selects any (same-sex) member of the other team to send to the Gulag.

Handcuffs: Players have to wrestle rings out of their opponent's hands. The first player to wrestle rings out of their opponent's hands five times wins.
Back Up Off Me: Players are tied to each other, back-to-back, and have to drag their opponent to knock over their own barrel. The first player to knock over their own barrel twice wins.
Die Hard: Players have to stand, kneel on and roll oversize dice, without any body parts touching the ground. The players have to match the number that T. J. Lavin rolls prior to the Gulag. The first player to roll their die into a designated square with the matching number facing up wins.
Swat: Players are chained by their necks at a table, and have to slap each other in the face with fly swatters (while wearing protective goggles). After multiple rounds of "swatting", players have to hold up a bucket filled with dirt with one arm, while continuing to slap their opponent in the face with fly swatters. The opponent wins if a player drops their bucket to the ground.
Pole Me Over: Players have to grab a pole, and push their opponent backwards toward their own barrels. The first player to knock over their opponent's barrels twice wins.

Notes

↑ Katie and Shauvon were set to compete in the "Die Hard" Gulag in Episode 3; however, Shauvon quit the game out of respect for her teammates. Therefore, no female Gulag was held.
↑ Johnny, Tyler, Theresa and Tori were selected for the Gulag in Episode 8. However, instead of facing off in same-gender Gulags, each player was met with a shocking twist when CT and Tina were brought into the game. Each player was set up in same-gender battles to face CT and Tina, respectively, in the "Back Up Of Me" Gulag, in a competition for who could knock over their own barrel faster.

Rivals[]

In Rivals, pairs compete in the Jungle. Following the daily challenge which is designated as either a male or female Jungle day, the winning team whose gender is designated for the Jungle wins immunity, while the team that finishes last is automatically sent to the Jungle. A public vote is cast to determine which team of the same gender will face the last-place finisher in the Jungle.

Hands On: Each player starts on a platform, leaning into their own partner. When T.J. pulls a lever, the platforms will slowly separate until it becomes difficult to keep balance. The team that falls into a mud pit first loses.
Blast Off: Players are attached to their partners, matched up two-on-two in football helmets and shoulder pads against their opponents in a circle, and have to tackle their opponent out of the circle. The first team to tackle their opponent out of the circle three times wins.
Door Jam: A wall is placed in between two teams. The wall has many doors that rotate to either side. Once the door is rotated to the "Rivals" logo, the door is claimed by that team at the end of the challenge. However, each team has the chance to turn the logo back to their side. The team with more doors with the "Rivals" logo facing them after five minutes wins.
Going Up: Each player runs and jumps into a water pit, and has to climb up their assigned rope to the top to ring a bell. If a tie occurs with one player from each team winning, then those two players will face off in a one-on-one elimination, with the player who makes it to the top first winning the Jungle for their team.
Unburied: One player is taken away ahead of time and locked in a coffin, buried under a pile of hay. The other partner must dig through the hay to find their partner, but they don't know which pile contains their partner. After they successfully get their partner out, they must solve a complicated brain-teaser puzzle. The first team to solve the puzzle will win the Jungle.
Rail Slide: Players are hanging from a pipe 25 feet above the ground, and have to slide their pipe together from one side of an obstacle course to the other. The first team to slide their pipe to the end of the obstacle course wins.
T-Bone: Players run up and down, through intersecting half-pipes, and have to transfer colored balls to their partner's ball rack. The first team to transfer five balls to their partner's ball rack wins.

Battle of the Exes[]

In Battle of the Exes, the Winners of the daily challenge, designated the "Power Couple", is granted immunity from entering the Dome while the last-place team is automatically sent to the Dome. The "Power Couple" also earns the right of choosing the team that will face the last-place pair in the Dome.

X Knocks the Spot: Players stand on a platform, across from their partner, in the shape of an "X," and have to jump over and duck under swinging bars. A team loses if both partners fall off their individual platforms.
X Battle: Players battle one-on-one against each other, trying to wrestle an "X" from their opponent's hands. Played in two same-gender rounds, the best two out of three wins that round. In the event of a tie, a coin-flip will determine the gender that would go against each other in one sudden death round.
Banded Together: Teams will be joined together by a rubber band rope at one pole, and the teams must work together and work their way to the pole on the opposite side of the field and hold onto the pole for five seconds. The farther the teams get from one pole, the harder it will be to reach the pole. The team that reaches the other pole first and holds on for five seconds wins.
Hall Pass: Teams have to transfer colored balls through a narrow passage that contains bales of hay on both sides. Played in two same-gender rounds, the first player to transfer five colored balls from one side to the other wins the round for their team. In the event of a tie, a coin-flip will determine the gender that would go against each other in one sudden death round.

Battle of the Seasons[]

In Battle of the Seasons, teams competed in the daily challenge to determine the "Power Team". The "Power Team" not only won immunity from the Arena but is able to nominate a team for possible elimination in the Arena. The other team placed in the Arena is the team that lost the daily challenge. There are four games in the Arena: Physical, Mental, Strategy, and Endurance. This game is selected by the "Power Team" after they reveal their choice to go into the Arena. However, the same game cannot be used more than once until each of the other games have been used. Once in the Arena, a team must decide one male and female pair to represent their team and compete. In the event that a team is unable to choose players to compete in the Arena, the "Power Team" will decide for them.

Hall Brawl (Physical): Played in same-gender heats, players must run through a narrow hallway past another contestant to ring a bell. The players who ring the bell first in the best two out of three heats, wins the elimination.
Balls Out (Endurance): Players have to slide 25 silver balls over a wall towards their opponents' side of the field. The players with the least number of balls on their field wins the elimination.
Knot So Fast (Strategy): Players have 10 minutes to create as many knots using feet of rope within a dome shaped structure. After those 10 minutes are up, players must untie their opponents' knots. The players who untie the other team's knots first wins the elimination.
Water Torture (Mental): The guys will be hanging from a rope system connected to their female partner by their ankles. The object is for the guys to submerge themselves into a water tank and hold their breath for as long as possible, which will pulley the girls up the rope in order to solve a memory game. The first team to complete their puzzle will win the elimination.

Notes

↑ During the "Water Torture" Arena at the beginning of Episode 5, Eric grew frustrated and quit when he determined that his weight prevented him from competing in the Arena, despite being in the lead. As a result, Team Fresh Meat was disqualified, and Team Brooklyn was declared the winner by default.

Rivals II[]

Rivals II follows the same format as the original Rivals with the following differences: unlike the original Rivals, only the girls can vote in guys for the Jungle, and vice versa.

Last Chance: Much like Hall Brawl from Battle of the Seasons, players must run through a narrow hallway past another contestant to ring a bell. Both teams will have one offensive player and one defensive player. The offensive player who gets past the defensive players and rings the bell first in two out of three heats, wins the elimination.
Hanging by a Thread: Both teams are suspended upside down from a swing, and must use tiny saws to cut through a rope that is connected to the opposing team's swing. The first team to cut the rope and dunk their opponents in the water below wins the elimination.
Snapper: Played within a large circle, one player from each team has to swing and break a wooden stick at their opponent, while blindfolded. The blindfolded players will be wearing bells on their shoes and guided by their partners, who are standing outside of the circle. The team that breaks a stick on their opponent in two out of three heats wins the elimination.
Who Can Take It?: One player from each team is strapped to a metal gurney. T.J. then releases 400,000 mega watts to the gurney. The player who says they can't take it, loses their round. The team who wins two rounds out of three wins.
Breaking on Through: Two 3-story towers are placed in the center of the Jungle — one for each team. Each team has to open trap doors and "break through" each floor below using metal tools. Once a team has made it to ground level, each team has to "break through" a steel door, and ring a bell on the other side of the door. Each partner has to alternate breaking through each floor in order to avoid disqualification. The first team to properly break through each floor and ring a bell wins.
Catch-22: Both team members run on a treadmill across from each other, behind a mud pit. Then they will toss twenty-two balls over a net and to their partner who will then dunk the balls in a basket. The treadmills move faster as the elimination round progresses, and a team loses a match is one partner falls into a mud pit. The team with the most balls in their basket, in the best two out of three matches, wins the elimination.

Notes

↑ The "Who Can Take It?" Jungle in Episode 4 was not played and both teams -- Cara Maria & Cooke and Jasmine & Theresa -- were saved, likely as the result of Sarah & Trishelle's withdrawal from the game during the previous episode.
↑ Trey & Zach finished the "Breaking on Through" Jungle before Leroy & Ty but were disqualified for failing to alternate breaking through each floor. Prior to the elimination round, T.J. stated in the rules that each partner was required to alternate breaking through floors; however, Zach broke through the first two floors. Therefore, Leroy & Ty were declared the winners by default.

Free Agents[]

In Free Agents, players play as either teams, pairs, or individuals. The winning players of the challenge are safe, and they will also choose one guy and one girl to go into the elimination. Their opponent will be determined by a process known as "The Draw". The losers of the challenge will draw either a blank card or a "kill" card, which has a skull on it. The player that draws the kill card will battle the winner's pick in elimination.

Balls In: This elimination was used in The Inferno II and Spring Break Challenge. Each player will be given five chances to get as many balls as possible inside a barrel, located in the middle of a large circle. If a player is either knocked out of or steps out of the ring, or if the ball is knocked out of the ring, their ball is considered "dead." Players will alternate between offense and defense in each round. The player who has more baskets than their opponent after five rounds wins the elimination round.
Wrecking Wall: Each player must punch their way up a 30-foot dry wall until they can reach their bell. The first player to do so wins.
Looper: Similar to the "Reverse Tug-of-War" from The Gauntlet 2, each player has a rope hooked to their backs, and has to run around two posts, where each player will try to reach a bell, in a tug-of-war match. The first player to ring the bell wins the elimination round. After its original appearance, a rope was added to each post, allowing competitors to use it to make pulling their opponent easier.
Oppenheimer: Similar to "Hall Brawl" from Battle of the Seasons (2012), each player must run across a caged circle hallway and passed the other player to ring a bell. The first player to ring the bell twice wins the elimination round.
Puzzle Pyramid: Each player will have three puzzles to solve. After solving one puzzle, they will step up onto a podium until they reach the final puzzle. The first person to complete all three puzzles and ring the bell wins the elimination.

Notes

↑ Johnny was selected for the elimination round in Episode 3 but did not have to compete. There were four cards in "The Draw," but only three male players were eligible for participation — CT, Jordan and Swift — none of them drew the "kill card." Therefore, by virtue of Frank's illness that resulted in his removal from the competition, no male elimination round was held.

Battle of the Exes II[]

Battle of the Exes II follows the same format as the original Battle of the Exes except now eliminated pairs were given the chance to compete in a secret losers' bracket in an opportunity to return to the game.

Pole Position: Teams have to advance up a 25-foot structure, with ladders on both sides, and a bell at the top. Each partner faces each other, has their hands and feet strapped together into wooden poles, and have to use the wooden poles to advance up the ladder. The team that advances to the top and rings the bell first wins.
Banded Together: Teams will be joined together by a rubber band rope at one pole, and the teams must work together and work their way to the pole on the opposite side of the field and hold onto the pole. The farther the teams advance from one pole, the more difficult it will be to reach the pole. The team that reaches the other pole first and holds on for five seconds wins. Originally from Battle of the Exes.
He Said, She Said: Similar to "I Can" from The Duel, teams bet on how much of a specific food item that a player of the opposing team can eat within a three-minute time limit. If a player succeeds, that player earns one point for their team, but if a player fails, the opposing team earns the point. This Dome game is played in a best-of-three rounds, and the first team to accumulate two points wins.
Breaking Up: Teams have to pull on a rope that is connected to a wrecking ball, then use the wrecking ball to crash upward through two levels of cinder blocks within their designated towers. The first team to crash their wrecking ball through both layers of cinder blocks wins.
Strung Out: Much like "Hog Tie" from The Ruins, players from each team are suspended by their arms and feet under poles and have to shimmy their way from one side of the pole to the other, then ring a bell, and return to the starting line, where their partners will try to do the same. The girls begin the relay race under the poles, and the guys have to wait until their female partners have returned to the starting line. The first team to advance both players to one side of the pole and back wins.
Stacking Up: Similar to "Stacking Stairs" from The Duel, teams have to stack up a tower of crates from the ground, toward a 20-foot-high bell. The guys will try to balance on the crates, while receiving crates from their female partners. The first team to reach their bell wins.
Hooking Up: Several ropes with carabiners are hanging from the top of the Dome. Each team has to attach the carabiners to their opponent's back, which will launch their opponent to the top of the Dome. The game is played in same-gender battles, in a best-of-three rounds, and the first team to win two rounds wins.
Hammer It Home: Teams have to use a sledgehammer to advance an eye beam from one end of a track to another, where a bell is located. The guys will start by hammering the beam to the halfway point, where their female partners will take over. The first team to advance their beam to the end of the track wins.
Hall Brawl: Players must run through a narrow hallway past another contestant to ring a bell. However, this time the male players will go first and then tag their female partner at the other end of the hall. The players who ring the bell first in the best two out of three heats, wins the elimination. Originally from Battle of the Seasons
X-Battle: Players battle one-on-one against each other, trying to wrestle an "X" from their opponent's hands. Played in same-gendered heats, the first team to two points wins. In the event of a tie, a coin-flip will determine the gender that would go against each other in one sudden death round. Originally from Battle of the Exes.

Battle of the Bloodlines[]

In Battle of the Bloodlines, eliminations are designated as either male or female. The challenge winners are safe from elimination, while the Losers are automatically sent to "The Pit", the elimination arena, based on the designated gender. The challenge winners will choose one team to go against the last-place pair. In the Pit, each team will choose one player to compete. The two representatives will compete in the elimination round. The winner and their Bloodlines will stay in the game, while the loser and their Bloodlines go home. Prior to the third challenge, a twist was introduced into the game. The pairs will split up and compete on opposing teams: the Red Team and the Blue Team. The winning team is safe from elimination while the losing team will compete in the Pit. The losing team will vote in one player of the designated gender to compete in the elimination. The winning team will vote in their opponent. In the Pit, the contestants will compete in the elimination round. The winner stays home, while the loser goes home along with their Bloodline. After the eighth challenge, the game returned to the original format.

End of My Rope: Only one player from each team competes in this elimination, and from a distance, has to unravel their rope over a series of poles in order to create slack, enabling them to clip one end of their rope to a carabiner. The first player to clip their rope to their carabiner wins the elimination round for their team.
Squaring Off: Similar to the "Hall Brawl" eliminations from Battle of the Seasons (2012) and Battle of the Exes II, players have to retrieve a soccer ball within a series of square hallways and advance the ball past their opponent's goal line. The first player to advance the ball past their opponent's goal line twice wins the elimination round for their team.
Door Slammer: Players must push a door and their opponent into a door frame. Played in a best-of-three rounds, the player who wins two rounds wins.
My Way or the Highway: Players engage in a tug-of-war with chains and have to pull their opponent forward until a yellow mark on the chain matches with a white line in the middle of the course. The first player to pull their opponent forward wins.
Ring My Bell: Players have to run back and forth and smack themselves into a mattress, which will ring a bell on the other side. The first player to ring their bell 50 times wins.
Home Wrecker: Players are given two identical rooms with furniture and a sledgehammer. In each room is a small slot in the wall to fit all furniture through. The first player to break all of their furniture and fixtures down to small pieces and insert all of it through the slot wins.
Spun Out: Players spin downward from a swing from the top of a platform, then have to perform two tasks while dizzy. The first task is to balance on one foot on a wooden pole for ten seconds, and the second task is to place a series of twelve wooden stumps into a column on top of a wooden pole. Each task is performed in two separate rounds, and the player who completes each task in the least combined amount of time wins.
Hand It Over: Players engage in a tug-of-war with three oversize metal poles that are positioned on both sides of a wall. Each pole is positioned at three different heights. If a player cannot pull their pole from the opponent in a best-of-three match, the winner is determined by which player lasts longer against their opponent.
Through Thick & Thin: Teams have to solve a multi-colored puzzle, with one player using a sledgehammer to break through a cinderblock wall, allowing their teammate to advance through the wall. Each player participates in the elimination round. The first team to complete their puzzle wins.
Mine Not Yours: In the same style of "Pole Wrestle" from The Duel, the first player to wrestle a handle from their opponent twice wins.

Notes

↑ Jamie and Mike were selected for The Pit in Episode 9. However, instead of facing each other, each player was met with a shocking twist when CT and Zach were brought into the game. Following a coin flip by host T. J. Lavin, each player was set up to face either CT or Zach in the "Hand it Over" pit elimination, in an endurance competition.

Rivals III[]

Unlike the first two Rivals installments, Rivals III features male-female pairs competing opposed to same-sex pairings. The winning team of each challenge is safe from elimination, while the last-place team is automatically sent to the Jungle. The winning team also earns the right of nominating two teams that will face the last-place team in the Jungle. Prior to the Jungle, the two teams nominated by the Winners participate in an elimination draw in which all four participants either draw one of three while skulls or one black skull out of a bag (similar to the draw on Free Agents). If a participant draws a black skull, their team will face the last-place pair in the Jungle.

Back It Up: Teams have to shimmy their way up a wall while facing each other, transfer ceramic pottery on their laps, and deposit the pottery into a cargo net through a hole at the top of the wall. If a team drops a piece of pottery, they have to start over at ground level. The first team to deposit three pieces of pottery through their designated hole in the wall wins.
Weight For Me: The guys will be using a pulley system connected to their female partner on the other side of a wall. The object is for the women to memorize a tile puzzle at the top of the wall and piece it together at the bottom of the wall. The first team to complete their puzzle wins.
Chill Out: Teams have to build a puzzle, featuring a series of wooden planks and discs, while moving back and forth from an ice tub. To start, each team will sit in the tub for one minute, then will try to stack their puzzle pieces until it reaches the height at their designated station. If the puzzle is not solved within two minutes, a team must return to their ice tub for another minute, and the process continues until the first team to correctly solve their puzzle wins.
Hear Me Out: Teams engage in a soccer match within a large square, while blindfolded. Played in same-gender rounds and a best-of-three, each player is guided by their partners, who are standing outside of the arena. The first team to win two rounds wins, and if a tie occurs after the first two rounds, a coin flip will occur to determine which gender competes in the tiebreaker round.
Spun Out: Players spin a turnstile attached to a rope, with their partners suspended above the ground. When one player spins the spool on ground level, the rope tightens, which makes it more difficult for their partner to hang on to their crossbar that is attached to a lifeline. The goal is for the player suspended above ground to hang on to their crossbar longer than their opponent. The team to win two rounds wins.
Shattered Dreams: The girls crank a spool that is attached to a battering ram. Their male partners use a pair of ropes attached to the battering ram and will aim the battering ram to swing toward a series of nine windows on a wall. Each teammate will have to synchronize in order to use the proper height to shatter all nine windows. The first team to shatter all nine windows wins.
Tunnel Vision: Players from each team must crawl through a tunnel in the sand, then try to pass each other in the middle, then race to the opposite side to ring a bell to earn a point for their team. Played in same-gender heats, the first team to earn two points wins.
Don't Wine for Me, Argentina: Teams have to transfer six wine barrels from a vineyard to a wine barrel rack. Each team has to correctly solve a riddle at their team podium prior to racing to the vineyard, and then haul the heavy wine barrels back to the racks. The first team to transfer all of their barrels to the racks wins.

Notes

↑ Thomas & Simone were nominated for the Jungle in episode 6. However, due to a personal emergency back home, Thomas quit the game, and Simone was sent home as a result of being his partner. T.J. then explained that a Jungle would still happen if Wes & Nany drew a black skull. As the result of Wes & Nany both drawing white skulls, no Jungle was held in Episode 6.

Invasion of the Champions[]

In Invasion of the Champions, 18 Underdogs live in squalor in the Shelter and compete for a spot in the Oasis. The challenge winners and the elimination winners earn the 12 spots in the Oasis. After that, the game turns into a team challenge, Underdogs vs. Champions. Each elimination, known as "The Fortress, is designated as either a Champion elimination or an Underdog elimination. The best performing player of that team is safe from elimination, and they will choose a player of the opposite gender to compete in the Fortress. The rest of the team will vote in their opponents. In the Fortress, the winner of the elimination will stay in the game, while the losers go home.

In The Trenches: Similar to "Hall Pass" from Battle of the Exes, players start at opposite end of the trench, they have to transfer ten sandbags from one side to the other side.
Who's Got Balls: Players will hike up to a cliff side where they will jump off a platform while holding on to five balls. The player that holds on to the most balls win. If both opponents hold on to all of the balls, the winner will be determined by the time it took them to jump off.
Thai Rise: Players will race up to the top of the Tiger Cave Temple and retrieve a bag of rice that has a bell in it. Once they get the bag the players will race back down and hang their bell. The player to do this task the fastest wins.
Tuk Tuk Bang Bang: Players stand on the back of their "tuk tuk," and have to run into a wall in order to move the tuk tuk further and further. Players will repeat this process until they reach the end of the driveway, knocking over the wall in the end. The first player to do so wins.
Pole Wrestle: Similar to the original "Pole Wrestle" from The Duel, players are placed at the center of a circle and are asked to place both hands on a wooden pole. The first contestant to wrestle the pole out of his or her opponent's hands twice, wins.
Bell Ringer: Players will try to smash Thai idols with the rope connected to the bell suspended 15 feet above. As the idols are being smashed, powder will explode, making it more difficult for the players to see. The first player to smash all 16 idols will win.
Balls In: Similar to the original "Balls In" from The Inferno II and Free Agents, each player will be given five chances to get as many balls as possible inside a barrel, located in the middle of a large circle. If a player is either knocked out of or steps out of the ring, or if the ball is knocked out of the ring, their ball is considered "dead." Players will alternate between offense and defense in each round. The player who gets to three points wins.
Inside Out: The second game in the Underdog Bloodbath. In the first round between the three initial players, the players are harnessed to a rope tied behind their back to a ring in a game similar to "Reverse Tug-O-War" and "Looper" from The Gauntlet 2 and Free Agents, respectively. The first player to ring their bell would win that round while the losing players would face off in the final round. In the final round, the losing players are tied together, facing each other this time, and must wrestle to get both feet outside the ring. The player to get both feet out of the ring in two rounds wins.
Knot So Fast: Similar to the original "Knot So Fast" from Battle of The Seasons and "It Takes Two to Tangle" from Battle of the Exes 2, players have 20 minutes to create as many knots using 200 feet of rope within a dome-shaped structure. After those 20 minutes are up, players must untie their opponents' knots. The player who unties the opposing players' knots first wins the elimination.

Notes

↑ Theo quit the Fortress in Episode 3 after not wanting to jump off the cliff. Cory was declared winner as a result.
↑ Host T.J. Lavin first announced that no elimination round would be held following the "Crossover" challenge in Episode 10 and instead that each contestant was treated to a house party. However, that was a part of the Bloodbath twist and it was a underdog go-away party where the underdogs will face each other in two consecutive elimination rounds. The first one will be a 4-way challenge in which one player of each gender will be eliminated if they finish last. Hunter and Jenna were eliminated due to finishing last. The second competition will be the first three-way elimination in Challenge history with another one eliminated player.

Dirty 30[]

Dirty 30 follows a similar format to Free Agents. The only difference being that the draw is now known as the "Double Cross". In the Double Cross, players will draw out an X or an XX. The player that draws the XX is safe from elimination, and will also choose a player of their gender to go into the elimination against the player voted in by the Winners Circle.

Balls to the Wall: Players will pull a series of torches from a wall (10 for the guys and 6 for the girls). The first player to pull all of their torches win.
The Great Escape: In a combination of "Pegged" from The Inferno II and "Wrecking Wall" from Free Agents, players will climb up a wall by pegging a series of holes. At the top of the wall is a tub of mud. The first player to get up the wall and tip the tub onto their opponent's side wins.
Strip Tease: Similar to the "Patchwork" elimination from The Inferno II, players are dressed in a jumpsuit with 5 patches on them. While blindfolded, they must snatch all five from their opponent. The first to do so wins.
Deadweight: Players are chained up to a weight by their ankles. Climbing up a ladder, they will lift their weights through a series of floors below them to create slack. The first player to climb up the ladder and ring their bell wins.
Rampage: Similar to "Back Up Off Me" from Cutthroat, players will be strapped back-to-back and also strapped to their ankles. They will also be assigned a color. The players then will have to battle to get their opponent to fall on their color ramp. The first player to do so twice wins.
Web of Lies: Players will go down a 25-foot tower through a series of webs and floors and retrieve a flag at the base. Once they grab the flag, they must go back up the tower and attach the flag to a pole. The first player to do so will win the challenge.
Body Check: Similar to "Hall Brawl" from Battle of the Seasons (2012) and Battle of the Exes II, players will run through opposite ends of a paper barrier and run around the bell at their end, then run back and ring the bell on the side they were originally on. The first player to win two rounds win.
The Reel World: There is a giant wheel that is connected to a rope with a 50lb weight at the end. Players will run and jump over the wheel, which would pull the weight closer to a line it must cross. They will continue this process until the weight crosses the line. The first player to have the weight cross the line wins.

Vendettas[]

In Vendettas, each player has an individual bank account. Each challenge will be designated as a male, female, or both gender elimination. The winners of each challenge will earn money to their bank accounts. However, that does not mean they earn power in the game. The overall top three finishers become what's known as the Troika, while the last-place player of the designated gender will automatically be sent to the Ring. The Troika will nominate three players as possible opponents to the last-place player. They will be known as the Inquisition. In the Ring, the Troika will vote one player from the Inquisition to compete in the Ring. The winner(s) of the elimination will earn a Grenade, which is a punishment that can be put upon any player(s) of their choice. The loser(s) of the elimination will lose their money, which will be added to the final challenge grand prize.

Balls of Fire: Placed on opposite sides of the Ring in front of two goals, players must kick soccer balls through a wall of fire into their opponent's goal. The player to score the best of three will win and earn a Grenade while the loser will be eliminated. In the event that nobody can score a goal for an extended period of time the game will be played in a sudden death round.
Chain Reaction: Players will start at the bottom of a chain ladder with only one rung connected on it and the remaining ones disconnected. On TJ's signal, players must reconnect the rungs one by one while climbing their ladder until they can reach a bell. The first player to ring the bell will win and earn a Grenade while the loser will be eliminated.
Oil and Water: Players will be placed in an oil pit and must retrieve a ball that TJ will drop down a peg board. Once they have retrieved the ball they must bring it back and score it in their basket. During this elimination players must remain on their hands and knees at all time unless they are about to score. Each basket will earn a point and the first player to score three points will win and earn a Grenade. The loser will be eliminated.
Troubled Water: Players will be in a tank of water. They will have to use their bodies to remove water until they get to the red line. Once they get to the red line, they will use a hammer to break the bottom of the tank and escape the tank. The first player to do so will win and earn a grenade. The loser will be eliminated.
Crazy 8: Players will race for a ring in the shape of a figure 8. They must do whatever it takes to get the ring to their side. The first player to get the ring to their side twice will win.
Basket Case: Players will start out in a Spanish basket where they will have to get out by any means necessary. They must then retrieve puzzle pieces when they get out. The first player to solve their puzzle wins.
Not So Bright: Players will each start in front of their podiums facing their puzzle board. On TJ's signal they will press the button on their podium causing the lights on their board to partially light up. The players must then run to their board and flip the switches for those lights that are off. The puzzle board only remains lit when a player is touching their button so the players will have to memorize which switches need to be turned on without accidentally turning any off. The first player to successfully light their puzzle board in its entirety will win and earn a Grenade. The loser will be eliminated.
Yankin' My Chain: Similar to "Reverse Tug-of-War" from The Gauntlet 2, players are tied together by a chain back to back and are separated by a circle. They must run in opposite directions around the circle towards a bell on their opposite side. They must pull, tug, and crawl to ring their bell. The first player to ring their opposite bell wins.
Spanish Torture: Players are locked by their hands and feet to their respective tightrope. They then must race and shimmy their way to the end of the rope to ring a bell. The first player to ring their bell wins and earns a grenade. The loser is eliminated.
Head Banger: Players will blast through two walls before getting to a metal grate. At the grate, they must use two oversized balls to smash through the glass holes to retrieve two small balls that they must put into their respective tube. The first player to put both of their balls into their tube will win, while the loser is eliminated.

Notes

↑ In the "Crazy 8" elimination, four "Mercenaries" (Jordan, Derrick, Tori, and Aneesa) were brought in to compete against the Ring players, similar to the "Heavy Hitters" twist seen on Cutthroat and Battle of the Bloodlines. In order to stay in the game, they must win against the Mercenary. Joss played against Derrick, Shane played against Jordan, Veronica played against Aneesa, and Kam played against Tori.
↑ Veronica was disqualified in her round against Aneesa due to breaking her finger and being unable to continue.
↑ In the "Yankin' My Chain" elimination, another set of "Mercenaries" (Frank, Darrell, Ashley, and Laurel) were brought in to compete against the Ring players. Brad played against Frank, Kam played against Ashley, Nelson played against Darrell, and Britni played against Laurel. Darrell and Nelson's round was declared a draw. Therefore, Nelson won by default and remained in the game, but he did not receive a grenade.

Final Reckoning[]

In Final Reckoning, teams will participate in a secret ballot that will determine who competes in the Armageddon. The team will then see who voted for them, and out of those teams, they will choose who they will compete against.

Think Outside the Box: One teammate will be trapped inside of a box, while the other player is harnessed to a pole by an elastic. The harnessed player will run to retrieve puzzle pieces to be brought to their teammate. The partner in the box will use the puzzle pieces to escape the box. The team who finishes this task first will win, while the other team is sent to Redemption.
Ramp It Up: Each team starts on separate ramps. Each player must race up their opponents' ramp to collect a single ball. Once collecting a ball they must race back to the top of their ramp and deposit the ball into a cylinder tube. The first team to collect 7 balls will win, while the other team is sent to Redemption.
No Slack: Teams will be tethered together in a box, separated by three walls each. Each player must smash through a plaster hole in each wall until both players are able to escape through the six walls. The first team to break through the six walls and fully escape the box wins.
Think Tank: Teammates will be attached with a line and assigned with a Climber role or Diver role. The Climber must climb up the ladder to give enough slack to the diver to reach the bottom of the tank. At the bottom of the tank is a puzzle which the Diver must memorize. The Climber must climb back down their ladder to raise the Diver up above water. At the base of the ladder are puzzle piece and puzzle board. The first team to copy the puzzle from the tank to the puzzle at the base of the ladder wins, while the other team is sent to Redemption.
Tread Lightly: Players have to balance a ball between two sticks, then run across a stage with two treadmills going in opposite directions, and deposit their ball into a bin. The first team to deposit ten balls into their bin wins.
Shake It Off: There is a rope with nine medallions hanging off of it. One member of each team will start on either side of the rope, and jump on it to shake the medallions off. The first team to shake all nine off will win, while the losers are sent to Redemption.
Meet Me Halfway: Both players on each team will start at opposite ends of a maze. Carrying a key to a lock, each player must crash through dry walls in the maze until they reach the center where they then must unlock a box, retrieve the contents and ring their nearest team bell. The first team to ring their bell with the contents of their box wins.
Don't Trip Me Up: One member of the team must dive under a water tank to untie tiles so that both team members can build a house of cards on a floating platform to a designated marker. The first team to build their tower wins.
Milk & Cookies: One team member would stand on a perch, both arms above their head with their wrists tethered to a bucket of Mursak milk. The other team member would be eating cookies and Mursak milk. If the player on the perch falls off, their partner must stop eating cookies. If both team members eating finish their cookies and milk, then the elimination comes down to the perched players in a battle of endurance. The first team to either eat the most cookies or stand on the perch the longest wins.

War of the Worlds[]

In War of the Worlds, the top three finishers of the challenge will form the Tribunal. The Tribunal will nominate three teams for the Killing Floor. They will then vote individually on one team to compete. That team will then call out any other team that is not safe. The winners of the Killing Floor will earn the Relic, which grants them safety from the next elimination.

Drone Ball Drop: Played in female and male heats, a drone will drop a ball into a ring and players would run to get the ball and take it across to their basket to score a point. The first team to score two points will win.
Map It Out: Played for 15 minutes, each team is given the flags of twenty countries. As one competitor hands the flags to their partner, their partner must climb a rock climbing wall that is a map of the world and place the flag on the correct country. The team that has the most correctly placed flags, after the 15 minutes, will win.
Ring Tossed: Played individually, each competitor must wrestle two of three rings from the other two competitors in their round. The first guy and girl will win and form a team together.
Lights Out: Both teams will run into a black box to assemble a puzzle. At random intervals, TJ will shut the lights out in the boxes, forcing one player to run back and switch the lights on again so that the teams can continue assembling the puzzle. The first team to assemble the puzzle and ring the bell wins.
Sandbag Burn: Each team will have to transfer 40 heavy sandbags each across to their teammate by dragging a sled. The amount of weight per sled is up to the players. The first team to successfully transfer all the sandbags to their teammate wins.
Uphill Battle: Both teams must use a rung to climb a large ramp. As they get higher, the ramp gets wider, making it difficult to climb up without support of their teammate. If one team falls first, the second team only has to cross the highest point the first team cleared. The first team to reach the top or to the other team's highest point wins.
Push & Pole: Similar to the original "Pole Wrestle" from The Duel and Invasion of the Champions, players are placed at the center of a circle and are asked to place both hands on an iron pole. The first contestant to wrestle the pole out of their opponent's hands earns a point for their team. Played in gendered heats, the first team to win three points wins.
Wheel of Death: One team member will be strapped to a spinning wheel giving directions to their partner, who is blindfolded, on a puzzle board. The goal is to properly place the matching symbols of a puzzle key onto the board in the correct order. If one of the symbols is not right-side up, it will not be counted. The first team to match all the symbols correctly wins.
King of the World: TJ will ask a series of question that the players must answer. There will be five balls with answers hanging above the Killing Floor with only one ball having the correct answer. When the balls drop, players must find the correct answer to the question and deposit it into their goal. The first person to win three points wins.
Chair'd Remains: Each player will choose an ally to tie up their opponent in tape. After ten minutes of the allies' taping, the players will then have to escape the chair and ring the bell. The first player to ring the bell wins.
Hall Brawl: Similar to previous seasons, players must run through a narrow hallway past another contestant to ring a bell. The player who rings the bell first twice wins the elimination.
Tug O' War: Players will be connected to a long rope from their opponents side while standing on a platform. They will pull their rope until they are able to pull their opponent off their platform. The first player to do so wins.
Walk Tiny: Players hold on to a 50-foot rope that is connected to a monster truck. The truck slowly drives thus taking the players on a walk. The first person to fall or drop the rope would be eliminated.

Double Agents[]

In Double Agents, teams will vote individually, and anonymously, one team into the Crater. The winners can either choose their opponents or volunteer themselves for an opportunity for a Gold Skull. The elimination will be played as individuals, and the winner will earn a Gold Skull, which qualifies them for the Final. This seasons, the skulls are limited to 10. The winner of the elimination will have the choice to remain with their partner, choose a Rogue Agent (players left without a partner), or choose another player to be their partner. This season, eliminations will rotate between six games with a different variation each time it's played.

Fire Escape: Similar to "Hog Tie" from The Ruins and "Strung Out" from Battle of the Exes II, players are suspended from their wrists and feet under a beam.

They will then place the ring on their respective post, and they will earn a point. The first player to score twice wins. The second variation of the game is played in a similar fashion to "Crazy 8" from Vendettas. The ring will be hung in the center of the Crater, five feet in the air. Players will run towards the ring and wrestle to get their ring to their post. The player to score twice wins.
Snapping Point: Similar to "Looper" from Free Agents, players begin with a rope hooked to their backs which attaches them to their opponent. They must run around three posts in order to reach a button. The first player to press the button wins. In the second appearance to the game, players ran opposite from one another to a series of posts on each end of the boundary.

The player to transfer all of their balls first wins.
Asset Destruction: Players will pull a large crate with heavy "bombs" inside. Once they reach the designated stop, the bombs will be released, and they must throw the balls at a wall with 25 targets; 13 that the player must break through with the bombs. The player to break all 13 breakable targets first wins. In its second appearance, players had to complete a puzzle before pulling the crate, which was heavier.
Dead Ringer: Players will start on a platform with 6 small rings. They must gain enough momentum to swing between their six respective poles and put a ring on each pole.

In the game's second appearance, the posts were higher, and the players had to retrieve seven tangram puzzle pieces. Once they get all of their pieces, they would then get off the platform and solve their puzzle. The first player to solve their puzzle wins.

Spies, Lies & Allies[]

In Spies, Lies & Allies, contestants are given 20 minutes to discuss before voting simultaneously and as individuals for one team to go into the Lair. The "compromised" team will be revealed after all votes are in. At the Lair, the daily winners must vote for one male and one female, regardless of whether or not they are a pair, to compete against the compromised team in the elimination round as a pair. The losing team is eliminated while the winning team remains in the game. They will also have the choice to remain as a team, remain with their partners, or choose any non-immune player of the opposite gender to be their partner. In the event that a player in an existing pair is chosen, their two former partners and the two former partners of the elimination winners also form two respective new teams.

The Challenge: UK[]

In The Challenge: UK, the winning pair will be safe from the Arena, and choose one team to compete against the challenge losers.

Knot So Fast: Originally from Battle of the Seasons (2012). Teams will be harnessed together connected to a rope. They will have 20 minutes to knot the rope up all over a pyramid. After 10 minutes, teams will swap and then untangle their opponents' knots. The first team to undo their opponents' knots and return the rope back to the starting circle wins.
Pato Brawl: Originally from Ride or Dies. Played in a similar fashion to "Pole Wrestle" from previous seasons, players begin in the middle of the Arena holding on to a Pato ball. They will try to wrestle the Pato ball out of their opponent's hands. The team to win two heats wins.
Ball & Chain: Originally from The Challenge: USA. Teams open six panels at the top of a three-meter wall to reveal six trivia questions. They then search amongst several 15-kilogram medicine balls wrapped in chains for six with the answers on them and hang them on hooks below their respective question. The first team to correctly answer all six questions wins.
Balls In: Originally from The Inferno II. Played in a male and female round. Each round, team members of the designated gender play both offense and defense. The offense player has three attempts to deposit a ball into a goal at the center of a ring whilst the defense player attempts to stop them by blocking them and knocking the ball out of bounds. Players then switch roles and repeat the process. The player who scores the most goals wins the round for their team. The first team to win two rounds wins.

World Championship[]

In World Championship, the losers of the challenge will be sent straight to elimination. Then, the house (excluding the winners and losers) will nominate two teams for the Arena. The winners will then vote one of the two nominees into elimination.

Pole Wrestle: Similar to previous seasons, players will begin in the middle of the Arena with both hands on a pole. They will have to wrestle the pole out of their opponent's hands. The player to win three rounds wins.
Tether Brawl: A set of puzzle pieces will hang in the center of the Arena. One partner will be strapped to a swing, and their partner will swing them towards the puzzle pieces. They will need to collect eight puzzle pieces before stacking them. If they drop a piece in the middle boundary, both teams will fight for that piece. The first team to stack their puzzle wins.
Oiled Up: Teams will collect a bucket of oil from a tank at the bottom of their ramp. They will climb up the ramp with their buckets to deposit the oil into another tank at the top, where it will fill up a tube with a ball inside. The first team to get the ball to the designated line on their tube wins.
Herculean Strength: One partner will start on a platform holding 120lbs worth of weight. Their partner will solve a set of math equations. The blue weights (11lbs) are easier than the red weights (22lbs). They will write their answer on the board, and if they're correct, they will add the weight to their opponent's bar, making it heavier for them to hold. They will continue this process until all problems are solved or one player bows out. The player to hold their weight the longest wins for their team.
Lock, Stack & Barrel: There are a stack of barrels for each team, with each barrel having a symbol on the top of them. There will be an answer key that they will need to replicate. Once they're done, they will race to the button. The first team to press the button wins.
Spin Me Round: One partner will be strapped to a rotating platform, while their partner spins them around to see an answer key over a wall. They will communicate to the pattern to their partner to recreate. The first team to correctly replicate their key wins.
Hands Off: Pairs will pick up puzzle pieces using giant chop sticks. They will carry them up a staircase, across a balance beam, and down another set of stairs to deposit them near the puzzle board. If they drop a puzzle piece, they will have to start over. The first team to complete their puzzle wins.
Breakthrough: Teams will swing through a giant brick wall. They will rebuild it and solve the equation on the wall to unlock the next rope. They will then swing through another wall where they will retrieve puzzle pieces and solve a second puzzle. The team to solve the second puzzle first wins.
Hall Brawl: Played from previous seasons. Played in male and female rounds, players will rush through each other in a narrow hallway to ring a bell on the opposite side of them, earning a point. The team to win 2 out of 3 rounds wins. Tiebreakers are determined by a coin toss, where either the men or the women will play again.

The Challenge: USA 2[]

In The Challenge: USA 2, the winning team will nominate one man and one woman to potentially compete in the Arena. The rest of the house will then submit votes into the Hopper which will choose one player no matter the gender to against the winners' nominee of the same gender.

Slam Dunked: Players will begin suspended over a tank of water. They will be dunked into the tank 15 times, during which they will splash 1500 balls out of the tank. The player to get the most balls out of their tank wins.
Drop the Ball: Players attempt to catch balls dropping from a large pinball-like machine and deposit it into their goal to earn points, while their opponent tries to block them and do the same. Black balls are worth one point while silver balls are worth three points, and balls are considered out of play once they hit the ground. The player with the most points after all 60 balls are released wins.
Fire & Ice: Players begin standing on a block of ice with their one raised above their head and connected to a bucket of fish guts which spills if they move their arm. Throughout the elimination, they can throw beanbags at a target to ignite a flame underneath their opponent's ice block, making it more difficult for them to keep their arm raised as the ice melts, while also turning off the flame under their own ice block. The last player standing wins.
Evil Eye: Played in a similar fashion to "Pole Wrestle" from previous seasons, players begin in the center of the Arena with both hands on a large evil eye disk. The first player to wrestle the disk out of their opponent's hands and bring it outside the boundary of the Arena twice wins.
Block Heads: Each player begins locked in a geometric-shaped cage and must roll the cage to four flagpoles and collect the attached flags. After collecting all four flags, players place them on a lightbox to reveal a code which they use to unlock the cage and escape. The first player to escape their cage and push a button at the boundary of the Arena wins.
Crank Shafted: One player stands on a wheel trying to balance for as long as they can. Their opponent can untie up to three steering wheels, attach them to a crankshaft and use them to spin the wheel to make it harder to balance on. Attaching more steering wheels to the crankshaft makes it easier to spin, however players risk losing time untying them. Once the player on the wheel falls off, players switch positions and repeat this process. The player who balances on the wheel for the longest time during their turn wins.
Top Heavy: Each player begins harnessed to a beam at the center of the Arena. They must generate momentum to swing the beam back and forth so they can collect balls at one end of the Arena and throw them into a basket at the other end. The first player to land ten baskets wins.
Too Cool For Spool: Players begin harnessed to a giant spool at the center of the Arena, which spins as they move towards and away from it. They must collect balls at the boundary of the Arena and use them to assemble a five-layer pyramid on top of the spool. The first player to assemble their pyramid wins.
Trick, Trick, Boom: Players line up three barrels with flat panels mounted on them, then perform a trick shot by throwing a ball to have it bounce on each panel before landing in a barrel at the end. After landing their first trick shot, players must then add two additional barrels, with slanted panels, to their setup and throw a second trick shot. The first player to land their second trick shot wins.
Ripped Off: Similar to "Patchwork" from The Inferno II, players begin harnessed to the side of a cylindrical tower, with one player designated as the "chaser" and the other as the "runner", who wears a jumpsuit with ten patches attached to them. The chaser attempts to rip off as many patches from the runner's jumpsuit as possible in five minutes while the runner tries to prevent them from doing so. Afterwards, players switch roles and repeat this process. The player who rips the most patches off their opponent during their turn as chaser wins.
Barrel Tag: Starting on opposite ends of the Arena, one player begins as "it" and must use two barrels to move around the Arena without touching the ground and tag their opponent, while their opponent tries to avoid them using the same method. Once the player who is "it" tags their opponent, players switch roles and repeat this process. The player who tags their opponent the fastest during their turn as "it" wins.
Hot Wheel: Players begin on opposite sides of a bar which has a torch connected to the center and steering wheels attached to each end. They must spin the wheels to attempt to maneuver the torch to light their six assigned targets while their opponent tries to do the same. The first player to light all their targets wins.
Hall Brawl: In a new version of the game, players must run through a narrow hallway past their opponent while holding a kick shield and solve a puzzle at the opposite end. The first player to solve the puzzle wins.

[1] No Duel was held during Episode 2 due to Tina's disqualification from the game.

[2] In Episodes 8 and 15, Beth and CT were both disqualified from the "Push Me" Duel against Svetlana and Brad respectively after failing to properly unhook their carabiners.

[3] In Episodes 8 and 15, Beth and CT were both disqualified from the "Push Me" Duel against Svetlana and Brad respectively after failing to properly unhook their carabiners.

[4] At the "Smash House" Inferno, Timmy broke all of his glass panes plus the last pane first. But T.J. delivered the news that Timmy actually missed a pane of glass. The win was then given to Abram, and Timmy was disqualified and sent home.

[5] Ashli, Jenn and Paula had to pick a partner for "The Rack" Face-Off. They chose Derrick, Tyrie and Dunbar, respectively.

[6] There was no vote following the "Water Bound" Face-Off. The losing players were eliminated from the game.

[7] No male Ruins was held at the end of Episode 9, after all the men from the Challengers team had already been eliminated.

[8] No Exile was held in Episode 4. CJ & Sydney were selected for Exile, but did not have to compete, because the team that was chosen to face them — Katelynn & Brandon — was disqualified after Brandon consumed alcohol prior to the Exile. It had been implied, though, that Katelynn would have been physically incapable of competing after she suffered a severe knee injury during the "King Of The Wall" challenge.

[9] Katie and Shauvon were set to compete in the "Die Hard" Gulag in Episode 3; however, Shauvon quit the game out of respect for her teammates. Therefore, no female Gulag was held.

[10] Johnny, Tyler, Theresa and Tori were selected for the Gulag in Episode 8. However, instead of facing off in same-gender Gulags, each player was met with a shocking twist when CT and Tina were brought into the game. Each player was set up in same-gender battles to face CT and Tina, respectively, in the "Back Up Of Me" Gulag, in a competition for who could knock over their own barrel faster.

[11] During the "Water Torture" Arena at the beginning of Episode 5, Eric grew frustrated and quit when he determined that his weight prevented him from competing in the Arena, despite being in the lead. As a result, Team Fresh Meat was disqualified, and Team Brooklyn was declared the winner by default.

[12] The "Who Can Take It?" Jungle in Episode 4 was not played and both teams -- Cara Maria & Cooke and Jasmine & Theresa -- were saved, likely as the result of Sarah & Trishelle's withdrawal from the game during the previous episode.

[13] Trey & Zach finished the "Breaking on Through" Jungle before Leroy & Ty but were disqualified for failing to alternate breaking through each floor. Prior to the elimination round, T.J. stated in the rules that each partner was required to alternate breaking through floors; however, Zach broke through the first two floors. Therefore, Leroy & Ty were declared the winners by default.

[14] Johnny was selected for the elimination round in Episode 3 but did not have to compete. There were four cards in "The Draw," but only three male players were eligible for participation — CT, Jordan and Swift — none of them drew the "kill card." Therefore, by virtue of Frank's illness that resulted in his removal from the competition, no male elimination round was held.

[15] Jamie and Mike were selected for The Pit in Episode 9. However, instead of facing each other, each player was met with a shocking twist when CT and Zach were brought into the game. Following a coin flip by host T. J. Lavin, each player was set up to face either CT or Zach in the "Hand it Over" pit elimination, in an endurance competition.
