==Format==
''Rush'' features 12 contestants divided into three teams of four. Each episode, teams are taken to an unknown starting location known as a "Drop Zone", often in the middle of a local celebration, wearing noise-cancelling headphones and blackout goggles. After removing their goggles and headphones to start the race, teams receive a cryptic clue on their [[smart watches]] from host David Genat about his location, and must find him to receive further instructions. After finding David, teams receive a ''dossier'' containing information about the "Escape Zone", the location they must reach at the end of the leg. However,
Teams begin each leg with basic supplies and limited local currency to complete each leg's tasks and travel to the required destinations. The last team to reach the Escape Zone must vote off one of their team members until one contestant remains to be crowned the winner of the series. Tied votes or teams with two members placing last are decided by a game of chance called "Rush Roulette".<ref>{{cite web|last=Haddad|first=Kailah|title=From Drop Zones to Escape Zones: The Rules of "Rush Australia" Explained|url=https://www.popsugar.com.au/celebrity/rush-australia-rules-explained|website=[[PopSugar]]|access-date=11 July 2023|date=6 July 2023}}</ref>

* After finding David Genat, teams had to purchase a [[goat]] in Kimana and deliver it to another Nassaroni Village as a gift. After presenting the goat, teams had to take a sip of goat blood before spending the night at the village, and would depart the following morning in the order they finished.
* The following morning, teams had to render one or two walls (depending on the number of team members) of a Maasai village hut with a mixture of sand, ash and [[cow dung]]. Once approved by the Maasai people, teams had to solve a cryptic clue to the location of the Escape Zone they had to reach: the Amboseli Airstrip within the [[Amboseli National Park]] which could only be accessed by vehicle.
