## Description

Twenty-four players enter the game to pursue their personal vendettas against one another but this season every player is out solely for themselves. With new features implemented that have never been see within TFC before will players mend their relationships or create even more enemies? Only one winner will come out on top, competing to win the final prize that has the potential to exceed 200,000 KPs.

### Format

Each player will participate in multiple challenges followed by an elimination round known as "The Ring". The winners of the challenge will split $25,000 among their individual bank accounts and the top three performers of the challenge will be declared "The Troika". The worst-performing player of the challenge will be sent straight to the Ring. The Troika is responsible for nominating three players to face the last place player in the Ring, named "The Inquisition". The Inquisition is responsible for pleading their case to stay in the competition, and the Troika will vote for the player to compete against the last place player at the Ring. The players will then compete in the elimination round. The winners stay in the game and earn a Grenade and the eliminated player's bank account, while the losers are eliminated.

In the Final Challenge eight players will compete in two stages. The last four finishers during the first stage will be eliminated and will only take home their bank accounts, while the remaining players will continue to the next stage.

**Prize money is split as follows:**
First Place: 170,000 KPs + Bank Account
Second Place: 35,000 KPs + Bank Account
Third Place 10,000 KPs + Bank Account
Fourth Place 5,000 KPs + Bank Account
Bottom Four: Bank Account

### Features and Twists

* **Individual Bank Accounts:** Money will be up for grabs during each challenge and will be split evenly between the winners of that challenge. As with *Dog-Eat-Dog*, once a player is eliminated, their individual bank account will be added to the winner of that elimination's bank account.
* **Purge:** In the first challenge, players will compete for their right to stay in the game. The two worst performing players will be eliminated.
* **Troika and Inquisition:** Following most challenges, the top three performing players will be declared The Troika. The Troika must nominate three players, known as The Inquisition, for possible elimination.
* **Grenades:** Grenades are punishments that can be granted to any player by the previous elimination winner.

## Game Summary

### Elimination Chart

**Note:**

* Bold names within the Inquisition were the players that were voted into the elimination round by the Troika.
* Joey elected to quit during the Hold the Button elimination. As a result, the rules of the elimination were altered.
* Following the Light It Up challenge, Ryan did not make his nomination in time. As a result, Ryan was sent into The Inquisition and Brad - the other member of the team - replacing him in the Troika.
* In the Map It Out elimination, two Mercanaries (Aidan and Jason) were brought in to compete against the Ring players. In order to stay in the game, they must win against the Mercenary. Ryan played against Jason and Sly played against Aidan.
* Due to winning the Redemption grenade, Sly automatically earned a spot in the troika. The winning team was required to select two members to make up the rest of the troika.
* Following two ties after the TFCX: Mini challenge, the troika was unable to make a decision on which member of the inquisition would face Tracy in elimination. As a result, the troika became the inquisition, while the inquisition became the troika.
