The show calls itself a "social experiment" in determining the physical and mental endurance of the competitors.

From the beginning, there are several mental challenges. The show's theme is based on solitary confinement; accordingly, the contestants are placed in isolated pods, with only an artificial intelligence named Val to communicate with. (In reality, Val's voice is a computer-modified human voice.) No contact with the outside world - or other competitors - is permitted.

Beyond the social isolation, there is also isolation from time, with no clocks, watches, or other timepieces available to contestants. There are no environmental time cues (sunlight or moonlight).

Environment is completely controlled, from temperature, light, access to a restroom, food, etc. In addition, the room is roughly octagonal, adding an additional disorienting aspect.
Players are only referred to by their number, not their name. This is an additional separation from the world, as their identity is reduced to a number.

In addition, the room is roughly octagonal, adding an additional disorienting aspect.

How to play the Game:

Each episode begins, if applicable, with the remaining contestants performing the treatment that ended the prior episode.

After the treatment concludes, Val observes the players and alters the environment somewhat, such as not permitting the players to sleep or eat or precluding access to a player's personal items.

Next is a test, a mental challenge which is made more difficult by the players' physical condition. The challenges themselves are somewhat difficult to begin with; deteriorating physical and psychological condition makes these challenges even harder.

The first player to pass the test is granted immunity from the subsequent treatment, a physical challenge which often contrasts with the conditions applied in the episode. Players are challenged with a bed of nails after being deprived of sleep, or an endless feast after starvation.

The first player to quit the given challenge, either voluntarily or through a bodily rejection of the challenge, is eliminated from the program.
The player who eventually wins the program is given $50,000.

I LOVE THIS TV SHOW!!!
