The opening scene shows a control room, similar to what you’d see in ‘The Hunger Games’, with players’ profiles displayed on flat screens before we’re taken to a convoy of Land Rovers cruising down a rain-soaked highway.
The contestants are led blindfolded into the jungle, with a few introductory cutaways. There’s John, a musician and entrepreneur, who immediately challenges Layla, a student, about what tactics she might employ in the game. Leslie, a former co-star of MTV Latin America’s Acapulco Shore, says she’s here to prove who she really is after what viewers saw of her there.
Cesar is a polygraph examiner, an analytical vocation the narrator tells us the series might obfuscate; Sandy’s competitor’s spirit is powered by the encouragement of her two children; Zoe is an activist; Gina is an athlete; Josue is a parkour enthusiast; and Paola, also known as “Little Moth,” is a twerking instructor.
