Paradise awaits 12 strangers — but only if they can fight their way out of hell first.
A group of unsuspecting partiers is expecting the summer of a lifetime, but Surviving Paradise has other plans. Instead of living it up at a luxury villa on a clifftop overlooking the ocean, the players are almost immediately banished to the wilderness below it, where they’ll have to survive on next to nothing.
The twist? If they can out-scheme and out-strategize their opponents, the contestants can change their position in the game and return to the resort, where they’ll be able to compete for a life-changing cash prize. But no one is ever safe, because with this kind of cutthroat gameplay, one day you’re living in the lap of luxury, and the next you’re back to basics.

How does the competition work?
Twelve contestants believe they’re about to live it up for a summer at a beautiful villa. But before they can pop any bottles, they’ll have to start at the bottom and survive in the woods without any lavish amenities. Known as the “outsiders,” the players living in the wilderness will have many opportunities to make a return to the villa, where they’ll then become “insiders.”
If the outsiders excel in challenges and secure strong enough alliances, they can be voted to back into the resort, where they’ll take an insider’s place — and their chance to compete for the cash prize.
How much is the grand prize?
The contestants will fight their way into the villa for a chance to win the $100,000 grand prize.
