Work as a team / Sabotage your team
- In this team task, the contestants must try to complete a physical task as a team (e.g. relocating balloons, sand, cans, or water from one place to another, constructing a bridge, recreating a landmark, or choreographing a synchronised dance).
- This is sometimes complicated with the requirement that half of their hands must be placed on half of their hips at all times.
- Usually, one contestant on any team of three is given a secret task to sabotage their team's attempt in some way. However, there have also been instances in which there is a saboteur on both teams, or where everyone, or all but one of the contestants, has secretly been tasked to sabotage their team's effort.
- Usually, the saboteurs success comes at the cost of their team's success, but there have also been instances where the saboteur's success benefits their team.
