Dynamic Duos

== Summary ==
Dynamic Duos is the ninth season of The Gauntlet. This season, every player applied with a duo for the season. There were nine duos in total.
== Format ==
Every player applied as a duo. There are two returnee/returnee duos, two newbie/newbie duos. and five returnee/newbie duos. Every duo was split as two tribes of nine were created. The merge occurs when there are twelve players left and jury starts when there are eleven. There will be three finalists and a jury of eight.
Two twists were introduced, such as Shared Immunity, which granted immunity to somebody on the losing tribe if their duo scored the highest on the winning tribe. Inheritance was also in play, where if a somebody gets voted out with an unused advantage, it will go directly to their duo if they are still in the game.
