Each team participates in numerous challenges (called "missions"), which are followed by an elimination round — "The Dome." The winning team of each challenge earns the title of "Power Couple," as well as immunity from entering The Dome, while the last-place finisher is automatically sent to The Dome.

The "Power Couple" also earns the right of choosing the team that will face the last-place finisher in The Dome. The team who wins the elimination round returns to the game and has a shot at a "$350,000" prize, while the losing team is eliminated from the game.

If the Power Couple cannot come to an agreement within the given deadline of who to send into the Dome,then the Power Couple will be sent to the Dome.

At the end of the season, three teams will compete in the final challenge. The first-place finisher wins "$250,000", second-place wins "$70,000" and third-place wins "$30,000".
