Spies, Lies & Allies

Format

edit

Ride or Dies features a daily challenge, a selection process and an elimination round. This season had players competing in teams of two with their "Ride or Die," an ally they chose before the season began.[5]

  • Daily Challenge: Teams compete in a daily challenge where the winning team is immune from elimination and selects four teams to interrogate.
  • Eliminations (The Zone): The daily challenge winners must select one of the teams they interrogated to compete in the elimination round. The three unselected interrogated teams then participate in the "Draw" to determine the second team for the elimination round. The winners remain in the game while the losers are eliminated.

In episode 9, the format changed and no elimination was held after the "Haul or Nothing" challenge. Instead, the winners were appointed as team captains and split each "Ride or Die" pair to form two teams of eight. The format of the game from episodes 10 to 14 is as follows:

  • Daily Challenge: Teams compete in a daily challenge where the winning team is immune from elimination and interrogates all players of the designated gender from the losing team.
  • Eliminations (The Zone): The winning team individually vote for one interrogated player to compete in the elimination. The unselected interrogated players then participate in the Draw to determine the second player to compete in the elimination round. The winner remains in the game while the loser is eliminated from the main competition. However, unbeknownst to the remaining players, they still have a chance of re-entering the competition if their Ride or Die is still in.

At the end of episode 14, the team phase concluded and contestants reunited with their Ride or Die. Each eliminated contestant during the team phase returned and also reunited with their Ride or Die if they were still in the competition. Each reunited pair who had one team member eliminated then had to compete in a two-part elimination round. The pair that lost the second elimination were permanently eliminated before the game reverted back to its original format.

Twists
  • The Draw: To determine the second team for the elimination round, the three unselected interrogated teams must each pull a covered dagger out of a stone. The team that pulls the dagger marked "safe" is safe and selects one of the remaining two teams to save, sending the other to compete in the elimination round against the team chosen by the daily challenge winners. From episodes 10-14, players took part in the draw as individuals instead of teams; if only two players partake in the Draw, the player who pulls the safe dagger is saved while the remaining player automatically participates in the elimination round.

Challenge games

edit
  • Bolas for Blood: Teams must solve three math questions using their biographical information, then search a mud pit for numbered bolas and attach them on chains to form the answers. The first team to correctly answer all three questions and bring their bolas to the finish line wins.
    • Winners: Johnny & Ravyn
  • Balancing Act: Played one team at a time. Team members swim and climb a ladder up separate shipping containers suspended above water. They must then use a rope to swing to a slanted platform at the center, then distribute their weight to pivot and level out the platform. Teams are disqualified if a team member falls into the water. The team with the fastest time wins.
    • Winners: Bananas & Nany
  • Build Me Up: Played in two heats. Teams must transfer six barrels across a field, stacking them to reach and set off flares atop three stations along the way. The team that sets off all three flares and transfers all six barrels to the finish line in the fastest time wins.
    • Winners: Faysal & Moriah
  • Hold On for Me: Played in five heats. One team member begins suspended off the side of a building and must hang onto a bar for as long as possible. When they are about to drop, their partner must leap off a ledge and launch them towards a flag hanging behind them. Teams are disqualified if they are unable to grab the flag. The team that hangs on the longest, and is able to grab their flag, wins.
    • Winners: Nelson & Nurys
  • Royal Relay: Played in two heats. Team members alternate turns swimming and rowing a boat to collect four crown pieces floating in a lake, then use them to assemble a crown. The team with the fastest time wins and also receives a cash prize of $5,000 each.
    • Winners: Jay & Michele
  • Down the Line: Played in two heats, teams must dig in their marked zone for two bags of puzzle pieces. Once teams find the first bag, one team member races to the end of a lake and spins a crank to extend the distance their partner can later zip line. After finding the second bag, the second team member must zip line into a lake and swim the remaining distance to reunite with their partner. Teams must then use the puzzle pieces to solve a word puzzle. The team with the fastest time wins.
    • Winners: Jay & Michele
  • Peaking Blinders: Teams race down a path to a pattern covered by blinds. There, one team member balances one-footed on a narrow pole to open the blinds and reveal the pattern for their partner to memorize. After the team member balancing falls off, teams must return to their board at the start and attempt to replicate their pattern, repeating this process until they correctly recreate the entire pattern. The first team to finish wins.
    • Winners: Nelson & Nurys
  • Double Trouble: One team member begins harnessed to the side of a speeding truck. They must traverse four cars speeding alongside the truck and collect a key from their partner in the last car before returning the key to their station, repeating this process for all four keys. The team with the fastest time wins.
    • Winners: Aneesa & Jordan
  • Haul or Nothing: Teams carry a heavy plank and undergo a six-mile race, completing three checkpoints along the way. At the first checkpoint, teams use their plank and three barrels to cross a field without touching the ground before transferring sandbags to the second checkpoint. At the second checkpoint, teams can place their sandbags on a trailing team's sled to sabotage them, before pulling their own sled across a field and stacking four cubes on top so each side shows four unique symbols. Once complete, teams transfer six tyres with cities labelled on them to the third checkpoint. At the third checkpoint, teams must transfer the tyres over a wall and arrange the cities from north to south before proceeding to the finish line. The first team to cross the finish line wins and becomes team captains as part of a format change for the season.
    • Winners: Faysal & Moriah
  • Last Life: Inspired by the film Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, each team begins with eight lives. One player at a time from each team face off on a balance beam and attempts to push their opponent into the water below. Each time a team member loses their matchup, they are eliminated from the challenge and their team loses a life. The team that diminishes all their opponent's lives wins and also receive invitations to the world premiere of Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.
    • Winners: Pink Team
  • Spin Class: Each team begin strapped to a giant wheel. After each spin, the team member the wheel lands on must answer a trivia question. If they answer correctly, they earn a point for their team; however, their team's wheel will spin for 30 more seconds if they answer incorrectly. The first team to score five points wins.
    • Winners: Orange Team
  • Chopper Drop: Six team members begin hanging onto a bar attached to a helicopter flying over a lake. As the helicopter flies over six targets, they must drop into a target to earn its point total before swimming the remaining distance to a platform in the middle of the lake. Smaller targets are worth more points and only two team members may drop through each target. Additionally, teams with greater than six members must have their remaining players swim to the platform from a designated point. The team that scores the most points, or with the faster swim time for all team members in the case of equal points, wins.
    • Winners: Yellow Team
  • Blind Faith: Each team must select one or two members to compete in four unrevealed challenges, based on cryptic symbols representing each challenge (target, puzzle, memory and bungee). The team with the fastest cumulative time for all four challenges wins.
    • Target: One team member must use a slingshot to fire balls and hit three out of seven targets to have their time stopped. However, after each miss they must also drink a foul-tasting smoothie before they can continue firing.
    • Puzzle: Two team members must transfer eight puzzle pieces across a field to their puzzle board and use them to solve a puzzle to have their time stopped.
    • Memory: One team member must run to an answer key, memorize it, and describe it to a second team member at the middle of a 300-foot field. The second team member must then replicate the key using tiles at the opposite end of the field to have their time stopped.
    • Bungee: Two team members begin attached to a bungee cord. They must both run towards and hold onto a bar simultaneously, as the resistance from the bungee cord pulls them back, to have their time stopped.
    • Winners: Pink Team
  • Takes Two to Tango: Two team members at a time begin harnessed on the side of a building and must cross a balance beam containing several obstacles before returning to the start. At each circular obstacle on the beam, they must also spin around before continuing. There is a ten-minute time limit before pairs time out and are dropped from the beam. The intra-team pair with the fastest time wins the challenge for their team.
    • Winners: Pink Team
  • Runaway Ride: Played one team at a time, teams begin in a bus filled with dozens of colored balls. As the bus swerves around a racetrack, teams must study a pattern printed on a board along the track, then recreate it by finding and arranging the required balls in the bus. The team with the most correctly-slotted balls in the fastest time wins.
    • Winners: Bananas & Nany
  • Frozen Senseless: One team member must feel through a covered box at one end of a course for three cubes with shapes on each face. They must then meet their partner at the middle of the course and describe the pattern to them so they can assemble the cubes using puzzle pieces at the other end of the course. However, teams must immerse themselves in an ice bath while communicating the descriptions. The first team to correctly assemble their cubes wins.
    • Winners: Devin & Tori

    • Played by: Horacio & Olivia vs. Tamara & Turbo
  • Double Decker: Team members begin on different levels of a double-decker hallway across from their opponents.
