Each contestant starts the adventure with a bracelet worth 10.000 dollars. While on the island, contestants can gain and lose bracelets by competing in various games. They can also receive bracelets from other contestants. When someone gives up and decides to leave the island, they must give their bracelet(s) to a contestant who stays behind. On this show, alliances mean everything, and friendships are worth a fortune. Some contestants will become richer by winning games and inheriting bracelets, while those who lose the games and fail to collect new bracelets must eventually go home.
By the last day, only a few contestants are left on the island. In a thrilling finale, they’ll each get their chance to cash in their bracelets in an exciting test of nerves. However, they can also lose everything at the last minute…
Thanks to its never-seen-before game structure, Million Dollar Island takes the genre of adventure reality shows to the next level.
In the exciting spin-off Million Dollar Desert, the game will not be played on a tropical island… but in the scorching heat of the desert.
