For War of the Worlds 2 the players are divided into two teams (Team USA and Team UK) with teams initially based on the participants' respective home country. The main elements of the game are as follows.
Daily Missions: Each round the teams compete in the daily challenge. The winning team gains the power to elect the speaker of the Tribunal among themselves, the speaker then selects two other teammates (one male and one female) to form the Tribunal, while the losing team must participate in Nominations.
Nominations: Following the daily challenge, the players from the losing team must nominate one player of the designated gender to compete in the elimination round. The team is given a chance to discuss the nominations, with players allowed to name potential nominees before voting between them publicly.
Tribunal: Each round a Tribunal consisting of three players from the winning team of the daily challenge is formed. The Tribunal players are the only players completely safe from entering the elimination. No player is allowed to be part of two consecutive Tribunals. The Tribunal witnesses the Nominations and then interrogates the Losing Team's nominee - usually asking potential players the nominee would like to face-off against.
Eliminations (The Proving Ground): At "The Proving Ground", the members of the Tribunal each vote for the second player to enter the Proving Ground - this nominee may come from either team. The two nominees then must face each other in the Proving Ground. The loser is eliminated from the game while the winner stays in the game and is given the opportunity to change allegiance and swap team. However, once a player swaps, they may not swap back.
At the end of the game, those who remained competed in their teams in the Final Challenge. A Purge was held during the Final Challenge, leaving only 4 players from each team to compete for the Grand Prize. The winning team equally split the $1,000,000 grand prize ($250,000 for each member).
Twists
The Reinforcements: Four Reinforcements (Chris "CT" Tamburello, Dee Nguyen, Natalie "Ninja" Duran, and Turabi "Turbo" Çamkıran) arrived following the first challenge. The winning team of the first daily challenge will have first picks on one male and one female to join their team, with the remaining players joining the losing team.
Double Elimination: Episode 8 featured a Double Elimination Round in which both a male and a female player were eliminated. The losing team had to nominate a male and female player, and the Tribunal also nominate a male and female player.
Purge: Some challenges will be designated as a Purge challenge - sudden death challenges where the losers are immediately eliminated.
The "Puzzling Swim" daily challenge was a Purge challenge. The slowest pairing in the swimming portion of the challenge was instantly eliminated.
As the final leg of the Final Challenge only allowed for four members on each team, the players competed in a mid-final purge to narrow each team to four players.
Instant Elimination: Following the "Mine The Cart" challenge, the players participated in instant nominations for an Elimination Round to be held immediately following the challenge.

Notes
^ abcPrior to the "Incoming" challenge in episode 10, Turbo was disqualified from the competition after multiple near-violent altercations with Jordan.
^ abDuring the "Branched Out" elimination, Laurel rang the bell first and was declared the winner. While Laurel celebrated, Ninja noticed that Laurel had misplaced one of her pegs. Ninja returned to her tower and, with all of her pegs placed in their respective slots, climbed to the top and rang her bell, thus eliminating Laurel.
^ abcFaith quit the competition prior to the "Firestarter" elimination due to personal reasons following a verbal altercation involving Bear, Kyle and Theo.
^ abcZahida quit the competition prior to the "Cryptic Crossbow" challenge due to a family emergency back at home.
^ abcTeam UK had the fastest time on the Paddlewheel Puzzle challenge. However, Theo was caught breaking off one of the locks to a puzzle piece rather than unlocking it. Therefore, Team UK was disqualified and Team USA won by default.
^ abThe Reinforcements (CT, Dee, Ninja and Turbo) did not compete in the first challenge. The winning team of the challenge had the opportunity to choose one guy and one girl from the reinforcements to compete on their team. Team USA chose Ninja and Turbo. Dee and CT joined Team UK.
^Only six players per team participated in the "Explosive Decisions" challenge. Bear, Dee, Georgia, Nicole, Rogan and Theo represented team UK, while Ashley, Kam, Jordan, Paulie, Tori and Zach represented team USA.
^Since Team USA had three more players than Team UK, Ashley, Nany and Paulie were randomly chosen and did not participate in the "Incoming" challenge.
^Since Team USA had one more female player than Team UK, Nany was randomly chosen and did not participate in the "Escape to Freedom" challenge.
^Due to uneven numbers, Ninja was selected by Team USA and did not participate in the swimming portion of the "Puzzling Swim" challenge. Team UK also had uneven numbers; therefore CT participated in the swimming portion alone. This also meant both competitors were ineligible to be purged.
^Every player had to compete in the "Mine the Cart" challenge. Since Team USA had more female players, they had to select two females (Ashley and Cara Maria) to complete the swimming portion of the challenge, while Team UK had more male players and selected Jordan.
^The second stage of the Final Challenge only allowed four members of each team to progress. Therefore one member from Team UK (Tori) and three members from Team USA (Ashley, Kam & Leroy) were purged.

episode 10 Turbo was disqualified from the competition after multiple near violent altercations with Jordan a b During the Branched Out elimination Laurel rang the bell first and was declared the winner While Laurel celebrated Ninja noticed that Laurel had misplaced one of her pegs Ninja returned to her tower and with all of her pegs placed in their respective slots climbed to the top and rang her bell thus eliminating Laurel a b c Faith quit the competition prior to the Firestarter elimination due to personal reasons following a verbal altercation involving Bear Kyle and Theo a b c Zahida quit the competition prior to the Cryptic Crossbow challenge due to a family emergency back at home a b c Team UK had the fastest time on the Paddlewheel Puzzle challenge However Theo was caught breaking off one of the locks to a puzzle piece rather than unlocking it Therefore Team UK was disqualified and Team USA won by default a b The Reinforcements CT Dee Ninja and Turbo did not compete in the first challenge The winning team of the challenge had the opportunity to choose one guy and one girl from the reinforcements to compete on their team Team USA chose Ninja and Turbo Dee and CT joined Team UK Only six players per team participated in the Explosive Decisions challenge Bear Dee Georgia Nicole Rogan and Theo represented team UK while Ashley Kam Jordan Paulie Tori and Zach represented team USA Since Team USA had three more players than Team UK Ashley Nany and Paulie were randomly chosen and did not participate in the Incoming challenge Since Team USA had one more female player than Team UK Nany was randomly chosen and did not participate in the Escape to Freedom challenge Due to uneven numbers Ninja was selected by Team USA and did not participate in the swimming portion of the Puzzling Swim challenge Team UK also had uneven numbers therefore CT participated in the swimming portion alone This also meant both competitors were ineligible to be purged Every player had to compete in the Mine the Cart challenge Since Team USA had more female players they had to select two females Ashley and Cara Maria to complete the swimming portion of the challenge while Team UK had more male players and selected Jordan The second stage of the Final Challenge only allowed four members of each team to progress Therefore one member from Team UK Tori and three members from Team USA Ashley Kam amp Leroy were purged References Edit Jordana Ossad August 22 2019 Challenge Bios These Are The Americans and Brits Vying For War of the Worlds 2 Glory MTV Retrieved September
