At the start of the round each pair participates in the **daily challenge** followed by an elimination challenge; **‘The Chamber’.** The challenges involve players competing with their partners against other pairs. Each challenge pairs will be given points based on their placement in that specific challenge. In Round 1, 1st place will be equal to 17 points and last-place will be equal to 1 point. Each round the point system will increase by 50%. After the daily challenge, the top three pairs on the leader-board will become **‘The Powerhouse’**. The points carry over from each daily challenge. The bottom three pairs on the leader-board will become **‘The Condemned’** and be automatically nominated for potential elimination.

After the daily challenge, there will be a period where two individual public votes will take place. Firstly, **‘The Powerhouse’** will individually vote *(meaning a total of 6 votes)* between **‘The Condemned’**. The pair that receives the majority of the votes will become **‘The Sacrifices’** and enter elimination. In the event of a tie, the pair with the highest score on the leader-board within **‘The Powerhouse’** must agree on who to send in between the tied pairs. During the same time-period, the rest of the house, including **‘The Condemned’**, will vote between everyone else *(excluding the top 3 and bottom 3 pairs on the leader-board)* individually. The pair that receives the majority of the votes will become **‘The Victims’** and will enter **‘The Chamber**’ where they will face off against **‘The Sacrifices’**. The winners will remain the game and the losing pair is eliminated from the game. The winners of elimination will also get the opportunity to pick between **‘The Crystals’**; with each crystal having a different impact on the game. The power the crystals hold will be revealed as the season takes place. The different crystals that could be selected include:

* **Play** - *2 available* - This crystal gives the pair the choice of an advantage in the following daily or to double the points earned from elimination.
* **Reset** - *2 available* - This crystal resets the leaderboard which means every pairs score is reset to 0.

As well as competing for the title, the season continues **‘The Bank Progress’** which will be featured in each season. Winning the daily challenge will earn pairs $30,000 added to their bank accounts and winning an elimination will earn pairs $10,000 added to their bank accounts. If you make it to the top 5 you will earn the contents for your placement for this season. At the end of the seasons, the contents of the bank accounts will be split between the pairs equally.

Pairs are competing for the money prizes of:

* **1st** - $400,000 (virtual) + individual bank account split
* **2nd** - $200,000 (virtual) + individual bank account split
* **3rd** - $90,000 (virtual) + individual bank account split
* **4th** - individual bank account split
* **5th** - individual bank account split

* **The Powerhouse** - the top 3 pairs on the leader-board after the daily; earning immunity for the round and the ability to individually vote someone from the bottom 3 pairs on the leader-board into elimination.
* **The Condemned** - the bottom 3 pairs on the leader-board after the daily; getting nominated for potential elimination.
* **The Sacrifices** - the pair from the Condemned that receives most votes from The Powerhouse to enter elimination.
* **The Victims** - the pair from the house-vote that receives most votes from the challengers to enter elimination.
* **The Chamber** - the elimination area where challengers will fight for survival to stay in the game.
* **The Bank Progress** - The money you earn from winning challenges and eliminations that could be added to your overall winnings from the season.

* **The Leader-board** - the point-system from placements in daily challenges and elimination; the top 3 pairs on the leader-board form the Powerhouse and the bottom 3 pairs on the leader-board form the Condemned.
* **The Crystal Ceremony** - the process of the winning pair in elimination selecting a crystal that unleashes a game-changing twist onto the game.
* **Reset Crystal** - In **Round 1**, Chelsea/Jeremy pulled the "Reset" crystal; meaning the scores on the leader-board completely reset other than the 2 points they earned in their elimination win. The second and final crystal was pulled in **Round 2** by Production after a set of quits, removals and replacements.
* **Play Crystal** - In **Round 3**, Darryl/Janessa pulled the "Play" crystal; meaning they got to choose between having an advantage in the following daily challenge or double the points earned from elimination. They chose to take the advantage.
