== Format ==
This season would begin with twenty-six individuals, thirteen men and thirteen women, competing in a seemingly individual format. However, everything changes once the players learn after the first elimination that this will in fact be a team challenge. Teams will compete in numerous challenges, the winning team creating a tribunal and the losing team sending in one female and one male from their team into the Proving Ground. The tribunal will then have the power to throw in a player from either team into the Proving Ground against the two already voted in.
===Twists===
*Team Warfare: In Episode 1, after the elimination Anya and Sally revealed to the players that the remainder of the game would be played in two teams. Kyle and Ornlo, as the daily challenge winners, and Miz and Noice, as the elimination winners, were deemed as the team captains. Ornlo and Noice were appointed as the leaders of the Black Team with Kyle and Miz leading the Blue Team.
*The Reinforcements: In Episode 2, four Reinforcements (Bluar, Hermes, Pixie, and Tdrr) arrived as extra ammo to the teams. The winning team of the first Team Challenge were given the opportunity to pick on one male and one female to join their team.
*Tribunal: In Episode 2, Anya announced that the Challengers with the best performances from the winning team would be awarded by joining the Tribunal. If there weren't three individuals in the Tribunal, those in the Tribunal would add people to the Tribunal until there were three. The Tribunal had the power to send anyone from either team into elimination.
