General information

Point System

From the first season to the sixth, the teams competed every day to earn points and win the day. From the seventh season onwards, the teams competed during the weekend. The points could range from 10 to 100 and were accumulated in a weekly basis. The teams also had a wild card that doubled the points. From the eighth season until season 13, the points could still range from 10 to 100, but the teams were no longer able to use the wild card.

Nomination and elimination

From the first season to the sixth, the team that lost the day had to nominate one of its members for elimination. When the day of the elimination arrived, the 4 nominees had to compete in the games and the one who won was saved. The public saved another by voting through text message, and the last two had to submit to the vote of their peers. In case of a tie, the public made the decision.

In the seventh season, during the first three months of competition, the team that lost had to nominate two of its members, who would compete in the games. The loser was eliminated. But, after the fourth month, the rules changed and the losing team had to nominate a member each weekend, and the elimination round was at the end of the month. The 4 nominees would then compete in the games, and be voted for elimination or not through text message and the vote of their peers.

From the eighth season to the last one (season 13), the teams continued competing on the weekends, but the nominees became 3. Two were nominated by the losing team and the other one by the winning team. They competed in "El Eliminador," a game of questions and answers. The participant who won continued in the competition while the two who lost had to submit themselves to the vote of the public.

Penalties

Penalties could be applied if a participant arrived late for training, was disrespectful or violated the show's regulations. Penalties included expulsions, suspensions, point removal, direct nomination and losing the opportunity to participate in the following seasons. Expulsion was only used in the first and third seasons for physical violence.
