Back To Reality[]

The celebrity contestants competed in a game show format elimination round that sees the losers, in the first three weeks of the competition, sent to the "B-List" which consisted of living in a less luxurious wing of the mansion than the rest of the housemates, who are designated as the "A-List". In the later weeks, when the teams are split evenly, they compete in team competitions where the losing team must send three members to play "Back to Reality" to eliminate one person from the competition entirely.
