Format

[edit]

Fourteen teams are selected by the show's producers and proceed to the heats, where each team battles against another team to win a place in the semi-finals. The top four teams out of those winning each challenge then take on each other in two semi-finals. The winners of each semi-final will then go on to the grand final in New York. In series two the format is the same except for the final which is held in Dallas, Texas. In series 3 the format is the same except once again with the final held in Florida.
