The season premiered on December 9, 2020. A launch special, titled "The Challenge: Double Agents Declassified" aired on December 7, 2020. Format Double Agents features a main challenge, a nomination process, and an elimination round. This season had players competing in male-female teams of two, initially selected among themselves at the conclusion of the opening challenge. These teams frequently changed throughout the season due to the nature of the game. Daily Challenge: Players compete in a main challenge in pairs, where the winning team forms the Double Agents. Nominations: Players, besides the Double Agents, participate in nominations and must vote for one pair to participate in the elimination round. They are given a chance to discuss the nominations before voting privately and as individuals. The team who receives the most votes are "compromised" and will have the player of the designated gender compete in the elimination round. Double Agents: Following nominations, the Double Agents are shown the nominated team, as well as which individuals voted for them. At the Crater, the Double Agents vote for a second team to compete against the nominated team in the elimination round, where the player of the designated gender will participate. The Double Agents may also volunteer for elimination instead of voting for a team. Eliminations (The Crater): Following the Double Agent's votes, the gender that participates in the elimination round is disclosed. The player of the designated gender of the nominated team competes in an elimination round against the same-gender player of the team selected by the Double Agents, or the volunteer from the Double Agents. The loser is eliminated while the winner receives a Gold Skull and remains in the game. Additionally, the winner is given the choice between remaining with their current partner, or selecting any player of the opposite gender to become their new partner excluding the Double Agents. Twists Gold Skull: Similar to the "Red Skull" from Total Madness, winning an elimination round earns a player a Gold Skull, a requirement to compete in the Final Challenge. Unique to this season, there are only 10 skulls available - five for each gender. Once all five skulls are obtained for a gender, the only way to attain a skull is to defeat a player possessing a skull in elimination. Rogue Agents: A player without a partner at any point in the game is classified as a Rogue Agent. Rogue Agents do not compete in the next daily challenge and are ineligible to be selected for elimination. Once a player of the opposite gender also becomes a Rogue Agent, the two contestants form a new team and compete as usual. Infiltration: The winner of an elimination round may select any player of the opposite gender (excluding the Double Agents) to become their partner. In the event that a player in an existing pair is chosen, their former partner either chooses a new partner between the remaining agents without a partner, pairs up with the agent without a partner, or becomes a Rogue Agent, depending on numbers. Security Breach: Two "Security Breach" twists were enacted throughout the season. Reactivated Agent: In Episode 5, eliminated contestant Ashley Mitchell returned to the competition due to the number of female medical disqualifications. Double Elimination: In Episode 11/12, a Double Male Elimination occurred in which two male players were eliminated. The two teams that received the most votes during nominations were compromised. The Double Agents then had to vote two teams into the Crater to compete against the compromised teams, or could volunteer against either compromised team. Contestants Gameplay Challenge games Decryption: Played in male and female heats, contestants race up a volcanic mound to reach a capsule with a color code encrypted on it. They must memorize the code before returning to their station and duplicating the sequence, by connecting colored wires. The first player in each heat to correctly duplicate the sequence and detonate their station wins their heat, however, the heat winner with the fastest overall time earns the ability to select their partner and become the Double Agents. Winners: Aneesa & Fessy Ice Spy: Teams swim through glacial water towards a boat to retrieve a block of ice with a "kill" capsule frozen inside, before returning to shore. They must remove the kill from the ice using an ice pick, and can place the kill in another team's station. Once a team receives three kills, they are eliminated from the challenge, however, they can still place the kill they currently possess. The last team standing wins. Winners: Aneesa & Fessy Road Kill: Played two teams at a time, teams begin on the back of a moving truck. They must push their opponent of the same gender off the truck and onto the surrounding safety nets without timing out. The last player with any body part still on the platform wins the matchup for their team. The team that pushes both opponents off the truck the fastest wins the mission. Winners: Kaycee & Leroy Drone Control: Played two teams at a time, one teammate wears a VR headset connected to the camera of a drone. They must direct their partner, who flies the drone using a controller, towards a number code at the opposite end of the tunnel. Once they obtain the sequence, the player wearing the headset must solve a binary puzzle before entering the code into a tablet. There is a ten-minute time limit before teams time out. The team with the fastest time wins. Winners: Devin & Tori Agent Down: Played in two heats of six teams, the female partners begin harnessed on a ledge on the side of a platform while their male partner begins on top of the platform. The male players must pull 200 metres of rope out of the platform before they can hold onto their partner. The ledge drops after an undisclosed period, however, the females can still hold the platform to avoid falling if their partner has not finished pulling the rope. The team that holds on the longest wins. Winners: Big T & CT Smuggle Run: Teams carry a heavy cylindrical capsule on their shoulders and complete a five-mile race. Along the way, they must use their capsule to climb over a wall and solve a magic hexagon puzzle before reaching the finish line. The first team to cross the finish line wins. In addition to becoming the Double Agents, the winners also receive a cash prize of $6,000 each and a P3 Portable Protein reward. Winners: Jay & Theresa Aerial Takedown: Played in male a....
