Format
All-Stars 2 features a daily challenge, nomination process and an elimination round.
- Daily Challenge: Players compete in a main challenge either individually, in pairs or in teams. For team challenges, each team must select one male and one female representative before the challenge begins. The winning male and female (for individual challenges), winning pair (for pair challenges) or winning representatives (for team challenges) are immune from elimination and earn power for the round while respective losing players of each gender, losing pair or losing representatives of the last-place team are automatically sent into the Arena.
- Nominations: The daily challenge winners nominate two men and two women to potentially go into the elimination round. Players – excluding the daily challenge winners, daily challenge losers, four nominees and Life Shield holders if they used the Life Shield – must then publicly vote for one male and female to compete in the elimination round. The male and female who receive the most votes will participate in the elimination round.
- Eliminations (The Arena): The losers of the daily challenge compete in an individual elimination round against the nominated player of the same gender. The loser is eliminated while the winner remains in the game and earns the Life Shield for the next round of play.
- Twists
- Life Shield: Players are awarded with the Life Shield for the next cycle of the game upon winning an elimination round. They may use the Life Shield to save themselves if they place last in the subsequent challenge, or save one of the nominees selected by the daily challenge winners. Players are ineligible to vote for the respective cycle of the game if they elect to use the Life Shield.
- If players use the Life Shield to save themselves after placing last in the challenge, they must select a replacement player to compete in the Arena in their place.
- If players use the Life Shield to save a nominee, the winners of the daily challenge must select a replacement nominee.
Gameplay
Challenge Games
- Boarding Party: Played in male/female pairs, teams must jump from a Zodiac boat onto a speeding motorboat, collect two colored skulls and cross a beam onto a second motorboat. They must then jump off the second boat and dunk the skulls into a basket while mid-air. The team with the fastest time wins while the team with the slowest time is automatically sent into elimination.
- Winners: Derrick K. & Jodi
- Around the Block: Played in two teams of eleven, two team members at a time race down a trail and collect one of their team’s geometric puzzle pieces before the next two team members go. Once teams collect the eleven puzzle pieces, they must use them to solve their first puzzle at the bottom of a pyramid. After solving the first puzzle, teams follow the same process to collect another eleven puzzle pieces floating within a cenote before using them to solve their second puzzle on the second level of the pyramid. The first team to solve both puzzles and pull the lever at the top of the pyramid wins.
- Winners: Brad, Darrell, Derrick K., Janelle, Jasmine, Katie, Laterrian, Melinda, Nehemiah, Tina & Tyler
- Bright Skies: Played in male and female rounds, players begin harnessed on a ledge off the side of a 25-story building. After being asked a question with multiple possible answers, such as naming a novel in the Harry Potter series, one player at a time must give one of the possible correct answers. If they answer incorrectly or provide a previously given answer, the ledge opens and drops players ten-stories below. The last player of each gender standing wins while the first player of each gender to answer incorrectly, or refuse to participate, are automatically sent into the Arena.
- Winners: Casey & Steve
- Bounce Back: Played two players at a time, players bounce across seven trampolines suspended above water, leaping off the final trampoline to collect a hanging puzzle piece. They must then swim to shore with their piece and repeat this process for all three puzzle pieces. After collecting all three pieces, players must use them to solve three math equations using the numbers printed on each piece. The male and female with the fastest time wins while the male and female with the slowest time are automatically sent to the Arena. In the event that multiple players are unable to complete the challenge, the last-place player is determined by the number of jumps they made off the final trampoline.
- Winners: Darrell & Jodi
Arena Games
- Deadweight: Each player has three 300-pound coffins, each with a chain attached. They must pull each coffin across the Arena until they can secure the chains on a post at the opposite side. For the two of the coffins, they must also solve a problem inside before they can begin pulling. The first player to secure all three chains to their post wins.
- Played by: Derek C. vs Nehemiah, Ayanna vs. Leah
- Fireball: Similar to tic-tac-toe, players begin with five colored balls set on fire. They must transfer one ball at a time across the Arena and place them slots of a three-by-three board, attempting to line up three of their balls in a row either vertically, horizontally or diagonally to win the round. The first player to win two rounds wins.
- Played by: Cohutta vs. Ryan, Jodi vs. Sophia
- Weight, There's More: Players must transfer 1,000 pounds of sandbags across the Arena to the end of their ramp to reveal a puzzle. The first player to solve the puzzle, which involves sorting colored skulls by sliding them into position, wins.
- Played by: Ayanna vs. Katie, Brad vs. Derrick K.
- Switchback: Each player has three colored skulls placed on the boundary of the Arena that begin switched on. They must run across the Arena and flip the light switch off on their opponent's skulls, or switch their own skulls back on, while their opponent does the same. The first player to switch off all three of their opponent's skulls while also having at least of their skulls on wins.
- Played by: Steve vs. Teck, Melinda vs. Tina
