The 14 contestants will be living it up on the desirable Caribbean island of Jamaica to experience the glorious lifestyle offered by the famed destination whilst competing for the R1-million.

The 14 contestants battle it out each week in exciting yet challenging games, with the losing contestant being eliminated in every show.
