In the end there will be two champions, one from each tier.

Format[]

Prior to each challenge, the host will announce to each contestant as to whether a challenge will be declared as either an individual, pair, or team challenge. For pair and team challenges, names are picked by Chatzy—one of each tier, or more for multi-team or pair challenges — that will be designated as captains. For team challenges, the captains will select players that will be split evenly amongst tiers. For pair challenges, the captains will either select players of the opposite tier for challenges that are designated as veteran/rookie pairs, or the same tier for challenges that are designated as same-tier pairs.

After each challenge, the winning teams/pairs/players are not only safe from elimination, but will also choose one player of each tier to compete in the elimination round. If a challenge is played in a team or pair format, each member of the winning pair/team is safe from elimination. The remaining players will participate in an elimination vote called "The Draw," in which each player will either flip over a "kill card," which has a skeleton symbol, or a blank card. If a player flips over a blank card, that player saves himself/herself from participating in the elimination, however, if a player flips over the "kill card," that player will face the player of the respective tier that was previously voted by the winning team/pair/individual in the elimination. The winning players of each gender return to the game and have a shot at competing for the win, while the losing veteran and rookie players are eliminated from the game.

At the end of the season, players will compete in the final challenge
