The Challenge: Australia consists of a main challenge, a winners' selection and an elimination round.
After the "Pato Brawl" elimination, the Algorithm selected new teams before it was announced the remaining six contestants would immediately commence the Final Challenge. The Final Challenge consisted of an Overnight Stage and three checkpoints, which players completed in male-female pairs; the Algorithm selected new pairs for each checkpoint. At the end of the Final Challenge, each individual's time from the three checkpoints was accumulated to determine the male and female winners of Australia, who receive $100,000 each. If, at any point, a teammate quits, their partner is also eliminated.
