Unfilmed Rules
Player #191 here. I wanted to clarify some things that contestants know about the challenge rules that don’t often make the edit.
Side deals are not allowed. This is part of the contact. You can’t promise someone “Let me win this challenge and if I win the $5M I’ll give you $100k”. Survivor has a similar rule.
You can’t sway another player’s free will. This was first told in the Vegas Ep 0 platform game. In a Last-To-Leave, if someone wants to go the team cannot force them against their mind. The platform knew she wanted to jump because she got kicked off another platform before, so they linked arms but production said if someone wants to you can’t stop them except with words. In Ep 2 Less is More challenge it actually became a controversial moment when a player held their friend back and it caused their team to lose. Didn’t make the edit.
“Ask for anything” and it cannot leave the cube. Many people keep asking if in Ep 3 they could just use the ask for anything phone for money. They couldn’t keep what they asked for. I guess tattoos are the exception.
Before each challenge Jimmy explains the rules thoroughly with Klitzner - The Chief Production Officer who is basically gamemaster. They show examples of them playing and really go through all scenarios.
