Overview

Each week, the contestants took part in several compulsory challenges that determined who would win power in the Farm. The Farmer of the Week is immune from nominations.

Key Power

Starting on week 2, the contestants compete to win the Key Power. The Key Power holder is the only contestant who can open the mystery box located at the Farm. However, opening the box will unleash a good consequence or a bad consequence at the nomination process. The Key Holder's choice is in bold.
