Tempting Fortune

Did You Know?

• In series 2, Hugo technically never chose to spend any money; a temptation was offered to everyone if 6 out of 10 chose it, and Hugo did not take the offer despite it being paid for.
• The contestants in series 2 took £41,500 from the prize fund and banked it for themselves.

Format

Twelve strangers hope to win a share of a prize pot of £300,000. They are left in a remote location and embark on a gruelling trek to reach their destination, provided with only basic survival gear and no creature comforts. Along the way, they are tested with temptations such as good food, luxurious accommodation, home comforts, or the chance to skip a difficult part of the trek. Every temptation chosen subtracts from the final prize pool, reducing the money they win at the end.
