Tempting Fortune
Discussion
I only just came across this show on ITV even though Series 1 came out in 2023. In short 12 contestants start with a prize pool of £300k but have an 18 day trek through the wilderness, camping and with nothing to eat other than rice & beans. Along the way they are given temptations which range from quick fix drinks and snacks, to full nights of luxury, safari tours etc but at crazy prices that are taken from the prize pot.
One of those shows you complain about whilst watching but cant turn it off. Some of the players just seem to be planted (or paid extra) to wind the rest up by being as annoying & selfish as possible. Many are resolute they wont spend a penny whilst others take almost every temptation. I assume there must be a rule that stops them saying "why don't we all allocate £10K per person and you spend it on what you want or keep it at the end" as that would seem a logical balance.

A new series of this show started last week. The second episode was on this tonight.
It's not something I'd bother with, but they showed a clip on Googlebox, that was it! I watched the first episode of this one, and then went back and watched the previous ones.
There are some really thick and self obsessed people on there! I know that's what they want to show (and some *claim* they are not there for the money) but some are in their thirties acting like they're teenagers.
It's sad that some who claim to be leaders are just bags of s
t who you can't trust. Still it's a game show but I wouldn't want to be their friend.
