How does Surviving Paradise work?

Despite it sounding fairly challenging, it’s quite straightforward.
Similar to Too Hot to Handle, 12 contestants believe they are about to live their best lives in a beautiful villa, but everything soon becomes clear.
Before they can truly have the summer of a lifetime, they have to start out at the bottom and survive in the woods without any lavish amenities.
They will live in the wilderness but will have opportunities to make a return to the villa, provided they excel in challenges and alliances.
This will all be done in the hopes of winning a life-changing $100,000.
Surviving Paradise is available to stream on Netflix now. Sign up for Netflix from £4.99 a month. Netflix is also available on Sky Glass and Virgin Media Stream.
