Notes
  1. ^ After receiving medical attention during the individual challenge of episode six, Iraida, his teammate for that challenge, punched Patrick out of the individual competition. While he was okay, as Patrick left the show's COVID-19 exclusion bubble to receive medical attention, he had to wait out a quarantine period before he could participate in the team competition. Since Patrick was medically cleared to continue, he was still eligible to win money from the team competitions despite not being able to compete in them.
  2. ^ Before episode three, Michael left the show for an unspecified reason and did not continue in the individual or team competition. Phil Keoghan later stated on Rob Has a Podcast that Michael had broken a rule off-camera and had been removed from the show.[2][3]
  3. ^ After Tara punched out in episode two, she was not cleared by medical to continue in the team competition.

Future appearances

Patrick "Freight Train" Hargan appeared on the third season during a package delivery challenge in the third episode.[4]
