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.
