During each Challenge teams will compete in order to become the Power Team, who will have the ability to place one team of their Choosing into the Arena. The other couple going into the Arena will be that day's Challenge losers. Once in the Arena a team must decide one Male-Female pair to compete, and have the potential to go home with no money. The losing pair in the Arena will go home, and leave their team short two players. Teams can compete with only two players, and have potential to make a greater share of the final's $250,000.
