In a world that’s saturated with reality shows, Million Dollar Island has stepped out of the cookie-cutter template in one big way; there are a whopping 100 contestants competing for the prize money.
The premise of the show is slightly reminiscent of Survivor in the sense that contestants are thrust on a remote island and the last man or woman standing will take home the prize money.
Each contestant on the new reality show is given a bracelet worth $1,000 upon arriving on the island. Throughout the series, they secure as many bracelets as they can to ensure that they win the prize money. The bracelets can be scored by competing in challenges, forming alliances, scheming, and stealing.
Of course, with so many contestants, there are mass eliminations that see multiple players leave at the same time. However, we’ve compiled a list of who we think are the 50 contestants to watch in the first season of Million Dollar Island Australia.
