  For the first Versus of this leg, the Intersected teams competed in kicking the coconut the racers while walking on a pair of stilts across a stretch of beach. Racers underwent an eight-minute coaching session before facing off against the other Intersected team. Teams had to kick the coconuts in stilts to a marked line in a five-minute match to score one match point. The first Intersected team to score two match points would win.
  The second Versus had each Intersected team assign one member to command the team while caged. The other three members, blindfolded and tied together, must navigate through a mud run obstacle course, while grabbing three numbered puzzle pieces in each obstacle. Afterwards, they have to make their way to the slide and arrange the numbered puzzle pieces to allow the toy car to move up. The team member in the cage would then retrieve the key from the toy car and unlock the cage to complete the task. The Intersected team who unlocked the cage in the fastest time would win.
  The third Versus had each Intersected team assign one member to retrieve three keys and jump through from height of  28 metres (92 ft) from cliff down to the sea after being geared by the helicopter. Then, the team member had to release from the safety harness and swim across one of three boats and unlock the padlock to free the other team member. The team member then had to swim to the other boats for the two other members. The Intersected team who freed the teams in the fastest time would win.
  After completing the previous Versus, the fourth Versus had each pair of Intersected team assign one team to compete in either one of the two upcoming Versus. For the leg's fourth Versus (also known as "Courage" to the viewers), one team member had to scale six poles to retrieve five pieces of clothing. The team member would then have to wear the clothing while on top, and must do the same for the other four pieces. The team member who wore all five pieces of clothing and strike the gong first would win. If their piece of clothing was dropped, they must descend down to the ground and retrieve the piece of clothing before they could continue with the task.
  The fifth Versus (also known as "Wisdom" to the viewers) had to be performed by the team who did not do the previous Versus. For this task, one team member had to arrange a series of gears of different sizes into a larger gear which would trigger a mechanism to raise the flag. Each gear has a peg that have to be fitted in the holes, which are arranged in different places across the board. The first team to complete the board and raise the flag would win.
  For the final Versus of the Race, one team member would be secured to a large wheel of death. Before the task, the person would answer five questions relating to their opinion of the four teams on the race:
  Which team should be eliminated?
  Which team will win Season Two?
  Which team do you want to exchange partner with?
  Which team is worst at reading each other's mind?
  Which team is best at playing mind games?
  Their answers determined a five-digit code which would stop the wheel from spinning. The other team member had to guess his or her teammate's answers, by rotating the rotary discs to the corresponding numbers to stop the wheel. The first team to guess correctly and stop the wheel would win.
  Additional notes
  The entire leg had teams intersected with another team, with a voting to determine which teams (Red and Black Teams) would be Intersected. In a special twist known as Intersection with Integration Versus, the Intersected teams would compete in five different Versus. There are two different types of Versus: a regular Versus had both teams compete head-to-head, while Timed Versus required teams to work toge
