A competition/reality show where a group of contestants are stranded in a remote location with little more than the clothes on their back. The contestants start off divided into two teams that compete against each other, with the losing team forced to vote a member off; when the numbers are reduced to 10 contestants, the teams merge and it\'s everyone for him- or herself. The lone survivor of this process takes home a million dollars.
