This season had players competing in male-female teams of two, with each team initially consisting of an American competitor and an international competitor based on participants' respective home country. These teams changed throughout the season due to the format of the game.

At the start of the episode 10, pairs were disbanded and contestants formed three teams of six during the "Diamond Dash" challenge. The new format of the game is as follows.

At the start of episode 18, the teams were disbanded for the final two eliminations of the season as part of the "Night of Elimination" twist before the Final Challenge.

Final Challenge

Day one

Contestants began the Final Challenge as individuals for the first three checkpoints, changed to a two-team format for the next four checkpoints and finished as pairs. The winning pair were awarded the decision of how much, if any, of the $1 million prize money to award the remaining finalists and how much money to keep for themselves.

  • Checkpoint #1: Players must assemble a cubic puzzle of a world map before placing ten national flag icons on the country which they represent. Players then race to board one of four helicopters which would fly them to a drop zone above a lake. Each helicopter holds two players and depart in the order that they completed the puzzle.
  • Checkpoint #2: Players jump from the helicopter into the lake, swim towards a sea scooter and ride it to shore. Along the way, they must also collect a puzzle piece tied to a buoy. After reaching the shore, players then run down a rocky and undulating path to the next checkpoint.
  • Checkpoint #3: Players arrive at a puzzle station to find 15 puzzle pieces in addition to the piece they collected during the previous checkpoint. They must use the 16 pieces to solve a puzzle before proceeding down a trail. Upon completion, players could then choose to join either the Orange or Purple Cell, each of which hold two male and two female players. Players would then compete in these teams until further notice.
  • Checkpoint #4: Teams unravel ropes and chains to release a cage and collect the safe inside. They must then dive into a lake and memorize a code submerged underwater before transporting their safe up a mountain. There, teams must find nearby signs and decode the code they memorised to unlock the safe, retrieve the key inside and proceed to the next checkpoint.
  • Checkpoint #5: Teams use their key from the previous checkpoint to unlock a large cylindrical "missile" and carry it up a winding path to a puzzle. There, they must combine their missile with 11 other missiles to form a matchstick puzzle which they must solve before proceeding to the next checkpoint.
  • Checkpoint #6 and Overnight Stage: Teams must roll a large metal sphere containing supplies for the Overnight Stage down a path towards a cave. The first team to reach the cave are safe while the four members of the losing team must compete in an Instant Elimination the following day. Teams then spend the night in the cave with the provided supplies.
    • Winners: Purple Cell

Day two

  • Checkpoint #7 - Instant Elimination ("Back Me Up"): Players from the losing team compete against their teammate of the same gender in an Instant Elimination. In a revisit of the season’s first elimination, players begin strapped together by their backs in the center of a platform. The first player to drag or push their opponent down their respective ramp of the platform twice wins while the losers are eliminated.
    • Played by:Kyle vs. Nelson, Kaycee vs. Nany
    • Eliminated: Nelson (4th place), Nany (4th place)
  • Final leg: Teams are disbanded and contestants complete the Final Leg in male-female pairs. The winners of the instant elimination are rewarded with the ability to select any player of the opposite gender as their partner. The remaining two unselected players form the final pair. Pairs must race to the top of a mountain to find and memorize a 20-digit code. They must then proceed to a safe, enter the code to unlock the safe and retrieve the black diamond inside. The first pair to open their safe are declared the winners of Spies, Lies & Allies and are granted the decision of how much, if any, of the $1 million prize money to award the remaining finalists and how much money to keep for themselves.
    • Winners: CT & Kaycee – $800,000 retained ($400,000 each)
    • Runners-up: Kyle & Tori – $100,000 awarded ($50,000 each)
    • Third place: Devin & Emy – $100,000 awarded ($50,000 each)

Team progress

Episodes 1-9: Male-Female Pairs
During the opening "Compromised" challenge, the international contestants had to select their initial partner of the opposite gender from the American contestants. They were not given time to meet the American contestants beforehand and had to decide based only on dossiers provided during the previous night, and their prior knowledge. These pairs changed frequently due to the infiltration twist and pairs were not beholden to the American/International format. Pairs were disbanded at the start of the 10th episode.
Episodes 10-17: 3 Teams (Emerald, Ruby, and Sapphire)
The 18 remaining contestants were divided into three teams (called "cells") of six based on the team color they selected during the first stage of the "Diamond Dash" challenge. Teams were disbanded at the start of the 18th episode.
