At the start of each season, cast members compete in a challenge which generally randomly determines the initial teams. Teams begins with a certain amount of "Paradise points" and attempt to earn more points during the season. The format is as follows:^[13]

• Paradise Game: Teams compete in a "Paradise game" where the last-place team is automatically sent to the Exile game. The winning team earns a "Paradise reward" and the ability to select a second team to compete in the Exile game against the last-place team. Additionally, the first, second and third-place teams from the game receive 30, 20 and 10 Paradise points respectively. For the second season, this was changed to 300, 200, and 100 points respectively.
• Exile Game: The last-place team from the Paradise game compete in the Exile game against the team selected by the winners of the Paradise game. The losing pair lose all their points and must spend the night at an Exile location.

Notes

1. James & Marina were declared the winners of the Final Shore-Down after winning the "Shore Is Lava" portion. However, they later had to compete against each other in "The Golden Cup" Final Twist challenge to determine who would win the $150,000 prize. Marina defeated James and won the money.^[11]
2. Before the "Climb That Wood" Exile game in episode 9, Chloe withdrew from the competition following multiple arguments with fellow cast members during the preceding days. Mike joined the competition as a replacement for Chloe at the end of the episode.
3. Chase & Fabio won the Final Shore Down, but they must compete against each other to determine who would win the prize money. Fabio beat Chase in the final game and was declared the winner of the season.
4. During the "Poppin' Bottles" Paradise game, Angelina & Joey were disqualified for pouring the champagne into their glass rather than spraying it as instructed and were automatically declared the last-place team.
5. Angelina and Trina were hospitalized during the "Shots and Found" Paradise game for various injuries and did not compete. Additionally, Giannina was also not medically cleared to compete in the Paradise game after recently returning from hospital. Therefore, Giannina & Trina were disqualified and Johnny (Angelina's partner) had to compete alone.
6. Instead of the winners of the "Keg Stand" Paradise game selecting a team for the Exile game, contestants switched teammates during the episode 7 nominations. Half of each teammate's points at the time were combined to determine newly-formed team's paradise point totals. As Chloe & Potro placed last in the same paradise game, they would compete against each other in the upcoming Exile game with their new respective teammates.
7. Teams played individually rather than with their teammate.
8. Chantelle & Spiker were disqualified during the paradise game because Spiker dug through the ice with his shoe rather than his hands.
9. The three teams competing in the Exile game competed individually. The winner got the power to assign the new teams, where players split half of their paradise points, which were combined to determine their new scores. Chase won and chose Fabio as his new partner. Isa placed last in the exile game and lost all of her points. Chase selected Hati to be Isa's new partner, therefore losing her points as well and being sent to exile.
10. Giannina was hospitalized after suffering an allergic reaction at the end of the "Climb That Wood" Exile game. Another cast member had to spend the night in Exile with her partner Trina; Blake volunteered.
11. Melinda chose to leave early after the rest of the teams joined them in Cartagena.
