‘Stranded With A Million Dollars’ MTV’s Real-life Hunger Games Starts February 21 — Watch Teaser!
Did you love Hunger Games and want more? Good news, MTV has a new show premiering on Tuesday, Feb 21, that provides a “creepy” similarity with the megahit movie, called Stranded With a Million Dollars.
The series drops 10 adventurers on an island with nothing but the clothes on their backs and a million dollars in cash. Those who survive for 40 days filled with gut-wrenching journeys and demanding physical challenges will split the money as their prize. The catch? They can buy all of the survival supplies and creature comforts they desire, but everything is crazy expensive (think $30K for a tent), all decisions to make a purchase require a group majority and the cost comes out of their shared prize money.
Sounds like fun, right? Ten cast members were dropped off on a tiny Fijian island for 40 days and 40 nights with only the clothes they arrived in. They can spend money, but it will be deducted from their winnings, which will be split among the winners who survive the 40 days. At least there won’t be any massive beehives — that we know of.
But let’s do the math. If all ten participants make it to the end, $100K, less what they’ve spent, will be awarded. If only five survive, $200K will be handed out. And to make sure the viewers don’t miss a moment of the action, drones, robocams, tree-mounted cameras and microphones are planted everywhere on this island.
