Prior to the season, applicants were divided into four teams based on the order of the zodiac signs. There were 3 signs per team; each from a different element (air, earth, fire, water) and therefore causing a zodiac clash per team. The four teams were **‘Team Eclipse’** (Aries, Taurus, Gemini), **‘Team Nebula’** (Cancer, Leo, Virgo), **‘Team Supernova’** (Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius) and ‘**Team Twilight’** (Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces). Each team had 8 challengers taking the total up to a 32-player cast. Challengers will remain on the same team throughout the course of the game.

At the start of the round each challenger participates in teams for the daily challenge followed by an elimination challenge; ‘**The Void'**. Each daily challenge has one winning team; ‘**The Fates’** and at least one last-place team; **‘The Retrogrades’.** The losing team(s) will nominate one of their own for elimination; with the challenger with the most votes becoming **‘The Disposed’** and sent into elimination. The selection occurs immediately after the daily challenge results, unlike in other Challenges, where there is a period of deliberation between the end of the challenge and the selection of the challengers for the elimination game. All challengers will submit this decision during the daily challenge period so the vote is prepared in the event their team is last-place.  If there is a tie, there will be a revote between the players in the tie.

The winners, **‘The Fates’**, will have a short period of time to nominate one person from the two (or one) teams that didn’t get last-place. They can all vote for the same person or different people. This selection process is called ‘**The Black Hole**’. Anyone who receives a nomination from anyone on the winning team will be at risk of potentially going into elimination; even if it’s just one vote. The challenger from the last-place team who got voted in, **‘The Disposed’**, will then call-out one of the winner’s nominations to face them in elimination. These individuals will then face-off in **‘The Void’**. The winner will remain in the game whilst the loser is eliminated from the game.

The final this season will feature 14 challengers; meaning that however many people are on the teams by the final round is the challengers competing for in that team whether it be one person or five people. This means there is a chance for multiple winners this season.

As well as competing for the title, the season continues ‘**The Bank Progress**’ which has been featured on every season for statistical purposes. Winning the daily challenge will earn players $15,000 added to their bank accounts and winning an elimination will earn players $5,000 added to their bank accounts. If challengers make it to the final they will earn the contents of your bank account.

* **3rd** - $80,000 (virtual) + individual bank account

* **Shockwave** - During Round 1, it was announced that all 32 challengers would vote in someone from each team (including their own). The two challengers from each team with the majority of votes will face each other in the first elimination of the season; the winner remaining in the game and the loser from each team getting eliminated.
