Insula de 1 milion is a Romanian reality game show based on the international Million Dollar Island format. The season premiered on 16 March 2024 on Kanal D. The show is filmed in Dominican Republic and is presented by Cosmin Cernat.
Format Following the basic premise of other international versions of the format, it features a group of people who are marooned in an isolated location, where they must provide food, water, fire, and shelter for themselves. The islanders separate themselves into camps. Upon arrival, each contestant is given a numbered bracelet worth 20,000 lei so the 50 bracelets together are worth 1M. Each Episode the Wheel of Power is spun, whoever's number it lands on must nominate 4-10 Islanders or 2 camps to compete in the Arena. Every Islander in the Arena Challenge must put all their bracelets into the pot. The winning Islander will receive all bracelets.The Islanders without bracelets will compete to win their bracelet back from the Arena winner. The islanders without bracelets must receive a bracelet from one of their fellow islanders or be eliminated. The only way to transfer your bracelet is to quit the game. Bracelets can be given to any other.
Broadcast The series is scheduled to premiere on March 16, 2024 on Kanal D and will air from Saturday to Sunday at 21:00 p.m. and Monday at 20:00 p.m.
