Challenges

Each week, contestants meet Derek Ramsay, the Game Master, and face physical challenges to test their teamwork, endurance and strength. After the first challenge where Destiny and Larry earned the right to stay, contestants were separated into two teams by their respective fitness trainers; namely, the Red and the Blue team.

There are two kinds of challenges performed every week. One is the "Fun Challenge", where the challenge consisted of no serious ramifications, punishments and/or reward. The second challenge is the "Big Challenge" in which a reward and punishment are on the line. Beginning Week 7, the contestants were no longer under the banner of their respective teams, and instead were given individual colors to remind them that they were on their own, competing against each other. Challenges tabulated in here will only be the "Big Challenge".
