From episode 5, the Authority would be reduced to only the first-place male and female of each challenge and the format changed.

The winners remain in the game while the losers are eliminated.

Final Challenge

The final eight contestants were flown to San José Island for the Final Challenge.

Day one

Day one of the Final Challenge consists of two alternating portions: legs (racing from one checkpoint to the next) and checkpoints (competing in a head-to-head challenge against an opponent). During each leg, players race to the next checkpoint in male-female pairs. The first pair to reach each checkpoint receives 4 points each; second receives 3 points; third receives 2 points; fourth receives 1 point. At checkpoints, pairs are disbanded and players must select an opponent of the same gender to compete in the checkpoint against. The winner of each matchup receives 5 points while the loser receives none. The first, second, third and fourth-place players of each gender from the checkpoint are paired with the respective player of the opposite gender for the following leg.

Before commencing, it was announced that the players with the most Stars, Jonna and Nehemiah (5 stars each), would start the Final Challenge with 5 bonus points.

  • First leg: Pairs race down a runway and collect a key before proceeding to the first checkpoint on a beach. For this leg only, teams are formed based on placements in the "Wall of Fame" challenge and depart in 30-second intervals in the same order.
  • Checkpoint #1: Players use the key they collected to unlock wooden planks. They must use the planks to assemble a raft and paddle around a buoy before returning to shore. The first player in each matchup to return to shore wins.
  • Second leg: Pairs race to a tandem bicycle and ride it through the jungle to the next checkpoint.
  • Checkpoint #2: Players must run 400 metres (0.25 miles) to view and memorize an answer key consisting of four rows of nine colored stars. They must then return to their star sequence and determine which star in each row is different. The position of the different stars in each row forms the numbers to a four-digit code. The first player in each matchup to determine the code and use it to unlock a box wins.
  • Third leg: Pairs race to a beach, enter a tandem kayak and paddle across the water to the next checkpoint.
  • Checkpoint #3: Players begin on a floating platform. The first player to push their opponent off the platform and into the water in each matchup wins.
  • Fourth leg: Pairs must transport 100 pounds of sandbags through the jungle to the next location.
  • Overnight Stage: As a reward for progressing this far into the competition, it was announced players would spend the night sleeping on a yacht.

Day two

The following morning, it was announced that only six players would continue day two of the Final Challenge. The two players of each gender with the most points from day one would automatically advance while the remaining two players would compete against each other in an Instant Elimination for the final spot.

  • Instant Elimination: Throughout the season, the house contained a map depicting the locations of each Final Challenge of The Challenge. Players must fill out a crossword with the names of ten countries depicted on the map, with the specific locations (Acapulco, Bocas Del Toro, Los Angeles, Mendoza, Oslo, Phuket, Pucón, Reykjavík, Rio de Janeiro and Whistler) given as clues. The first players to complete the crossword wins while the losers are eliminated.
    • Played by:Kailah vs. KellyAnne, Brad vs. Mark
    • Eliminated: KellyAnne (fourth place), Mark (fourth place)
  • Final leg: As individuals, players race through the jungle to the beach before finishing at the yacht from the Overnight Stage where a chest with the $500,000 is located. Along the way, they have to complete several challenges. At the first challenge, players must consume two pounds of various offal and insects before proceeding. At the second challenge, players must complete a pentagon-shaped puzzle before grabbing a surfboard and proceeding to the third challenge. At the third challenge, players must use wooden blocks to build a tower matching a given diagram. Once complete, players use their surfboard to paddle to the yacht offshore. The first player of each gender to reach the yacht are declared the winners of All Stars 3 and receive $250,000 each.
    • Winners: Jonna & Wes ($250,000 each)
