Audition process

After the casting call, selected applicants will receive written application forms. Semi-finalists will then be invited for interviews with producers. Interviews could be in person in Los Angeles or remote. About 18 contestants will be selected to participate.

Contestants will be selected based on these traits: 

  • Strong-willed
  • Outgoing
  • Adventurous
  • Physically and mentally adept
  • Adaptable to new environments
  • Interesting lifestyles, backgrounds and personalities  

The prize for this competition is $1,000,000, but this prize money will not come easily. Our competitors must be willing to commit to traveling and living in a remote location for approximately seven weeks. Contestants will be filmed up to 24 hours a day by television camera crews to be broadcast on national television. This is reality television. They will actually be living in a remote location, and they will actually be responsible for building their own shelter and finding their own food.
