Ultimate Tag

The three contestants run around a U-shaped course in an attempt to avoid three successive taggers. The contestants are released into the course with a 10-second head start over the first tagger. Taggers pursue the contestants in an effort to remove one of three LED-studded strips from them; it is deemed a "tag" when the tagger successfully removes one of these strips. When a contestant is tagged, that contestant is eliminated from the round, and that tagger exits the course and is replaced with the next tagger in line. The contestant that lasts the longest scores 3 points, with 2 points given to the second-place contestant, and 1 for third place. In addition, each contestant who is not tagged after 2 minutes earns a bonus point, and a further bonus point for each 30 seconds beyond that.

The three contestants run through an obstacle course while trying to avoid two taggers placed in the middle of the course. The object for the contestants is to press one of the scoring buttons at the other end of the course without being tagged. Each time a contestant avoids being tagged and presses the scoring button, they earn 1 point. The contestant returns to the start of the course after each attempt, whether it is successful or not; if the contestant is tagged, they must obtain a replacement tag before continuing. This round lasts for two minutes, and the lowest-scoring contestant in each contest is eliminated at the end of this round. In the event of a tie, the contestant who scores the most in Dodge Tag breaks the tie.

There are two different games that take place in this round; one for the men, and one for the women. The men play one, while women play the other.

Each contestant, in turn, faces three taggers, one at a time, while trying to evade them in and on a two-tiered dome-shaped structure hanging 30 feet above the arena floor. The participants may crawl around inside either tier of the dome, climb around the outside, or even hang from bars underneath the dome. Once a tagger removes one of the tags from the contestant, they jump from the dome and the next tagger climbs down a ladder and enters the dome. The contestant's round ends when all three tags have been removed, or the contestant falls off the dome. The contestant that lasts longer earns 3 points; the other contestant scores 2. As in "Chase Tag," a bonus point is awarded for lasting 2 minutes, and another bonus point for every 30 seconds beyond that. They have no harness.

Each contestant, in turn, runs around a maze in an effort to evade one tagger. The contestant that evades their tagger for a longer time earns 3 points, the other scores 2. However, if a contestants survives for longer than 2 minutes, a second tagger will enter the maze. Located around different parts of the maze are towers with a button on both sides. Only one tower is active at a time and whichever one is active can freely change throughout the round. If the contestant hits a button on the active tower, they will have 10 seconds to attempt to tag their tagger(s). If they succeed, a bonus point is awarded and the tagger is replaced.

The Showdown consists of a two-part obstacle course; the first part is several obstacles on the floor of the arena, and the second is a climb up a tower known as the "Summit." The first tagger is not released into the course until the contestant completes the first obstacle. Unlike in previous rounds, there are two tags on the contestant; for each tag the contestant loses, a 5-second penalty is added to their final time. Once a tagger has tagged a contestant, they may not tag that contestant again during this round. The contestant must negotiate the course and press a plunger at the top of the "Summit" to stop the clock.

The contestant with the lower score goes first, and at the end of their run, one second is added to their time for every point they were trailing by at the start of this round. The second contestant tries to beat this adjusted time. The contestant with the faster time, after adjustments, wins $10,000.

If the contestants are tied, a coin toss will determine who goes first.One tagger is on the floor and one is one summit.
