The TiBB Games: Rivals 2

The TiBB Games: Rivals 2 was the second series of the Veggie Brother spin-off, The TiBB Games. This is the second series to be broadcast on TiBB Three, due to its pre-recorded nature. It was filmed over the course of 43 days between 8 March 2020 and 20 April 2020. It later premiered on 29 May 2020, with episodes being aired 3 days a week until the finale on 12 June 2020.
This was also the first series of any show from TiBB Public Broadcasting to be produced well into the peak of the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic.
==Production==
===Auditions===
The players were chosen by having them selected out of all civilians in the world.
===Presenters===
In April 2020, it was announced that Josiah Stuart would be returning as the host.
===Format changes===
For this second series, the Veggie Brother format from the last series was dropped and replaced with a much more competitive format (explained below). Due to the new format of the game, the £1,000,000 prize has been split up into the following amounts:
*Winner: £750,000
*2nd place: £200,000
*3rd place: £40,000
*4th place: £10,000
And in addition to the £750,000 prize; the winners will also get a £500 gift certificate from show sponsor Veg Mobile, a trip of a lifetime courtesy of Unendlich Ein Airlines, and a photo spread and interview in Starweek Magazine.
The like the last Rivals series for this series is that all of the players are real life rivals (in personal, work, or sport), and all housemates would be competing in their rivals duo, which means that housemates will nominate together, be nominated together, be evicted together, and win together (unless a twist says otherwise). The biggest change this series is that the 20 housemates are returning housemates, some from the same series, and some from differing series.
This Rivals series, the housemates will all compete in Power Challenges for the title of "Dynamic Duo". The pair that becomes the "Dynamic Duo" will then nominate 3 other pairs. Eviction challenges, previously known in past series as Power Challenges, would now be known as "The Lair", due to the Power Challenge name being used for the "Dynamic Duo" challenges. The last place team in each Power Challenge will automatically be sent to The Lair. The 3 pairs nominated, will be put in "Purgatory", and will then draw for either a double cross (XX) or no cross. The pair that pulls the double cross will then be automatically saved from eviction, whilst the other two pairs will be sent to The Lair for eviction against the last place finisher.
The 3 pairs now competing in The Lair will proceed with the Lair Challenges. The two winning pairs will remain in the competition, whilst the losing pair will be evicted.
For the Final Challenge, 4 pairs will take part, rather than 3 like the previous series.

The some of the guys and girls are positioned outward at one plank, facing the dangling skulls, while their male partners are positioned on the other side of the platform, holding a rope that is attached to the backs of their respective partners. The goal is for each guy/girl to lean forward and retrieve as many skulls as possible, or in the fastest time, and deposit the skulls into their team bucket. Each successive skull becomes more difficult for each person to reach, and a team is disqualified if the respective partner falls off the plank. The team to retrieve the most skulls wins, while the last-place finisher is automatically sent to The Lair.	Alexandra & Ezikiel(10 skulls) 	Alanço & Asthena(1 skull)
4 	2 	Lair 	Back It UpTeams 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.

Ciarán & SianShaye & Steven 	Alanço & Asthena
5 	3 	Power 	Dirty LaundryTeams are positioned on a pole within a giant tub. The pole is coated with a bar of soap. Each team must use friction with their bodies (in a suggestive manner) in order to erode the soap and reveal four numbers on the wheel. Each team then runs toward a "clothesline" and a bucket full of T-shirts with numbers on them, and must dig through the bucket, then find the four T-shirts with the correct numbers, then hang the T-shirts on a clothesline. 	Alexandra & Ezikiel 	Ciarán & Sian
6 	3 	Lair 	Chill OutTeams have to build a puzzle, featuring a series of wooden planks and discs, while moving back and forth from an ice tub.

Chelsey & Valeria(1m, 22s)Ciarán & Sian(3m, 02s)	Alexa & Jenny(3m, 02s)
7 	4 	Power 	Road To NowhereA platform, with a runway, is suspended 400 feet above the ocean. Each team rides a cart toward the end of the runway, where a series of green, yellow and red flags are standing. Teammates try to collect as many flags as possible, before riding off the platform. Each flag is worth a series of points — 5 points for green, 10 points for yellow and 15 points for red; the latter two colored flags are more difficult for each team to retrieve. The team to collect the most points in the fastest time wins, while the last-place finisher is automatically sent to The Lair. 	Nicky & Sabrina 	Boston & Vova

9 	5 	Power 	Up All NightPartners have to stand next to each other at the Jungle site on boxes overnight, and memorize certain details of the events that occur, which includes a mariachi band's performance, a taco truck and a man catching fire. Once an air horn sounds, each team is required to step down to a smaller box, making it more challenging because of the lack of sleep. No sitting or leaning is allowed, and the first team to have one player fall off or step off the boxes is automatically sent to the Jungle. When morning arrives, teams attempt to solve a puzzle based on the previous evening's events. The first team to correctly solve their puzzle is safe from elimination and wins £1,000 each. 	Chisolm & Zoran 	Ciarán & Sian
10 	5 	Lair 	Spun OutPlayers 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 teams that wins one round each wins. 	Boston & VovaNicky & Sabrina 	Chelsey & Valeria
11 	6 	Power 	Bridging the GapTeams have to build a bridge by using planks with cutouts of various shapes. Before gaining access to the planks, each partner must complete a series of tasks — braiding/unbraiding a rope and completing 30 consecutive jumps using a jump rope — while having to move in unison and banded together in a poncho. After completing a task, there are three different sets of planks that are puzzle pieces in which teams have to determine where to place them on their designated bridge. The first team to complete their bridge wins, while the last-place team is automatically sent to The Lair. 	Boston & Vova 	Ciarán & Sian
12 	6 	Lair 	Tunnel VisionPlayers 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 2 teams to earn two points wins. 	Chisolm & ZoranNicky & Sabrina 	Ciarán & Sian
