La isla: desafío extremo, or simply La isla is an American reality competition television series based on the Colombian television series Desafío. The series is hosted by Javier Poza.[2] It premiered on Telemundo on July 30, 2024.[3]

Format

[edit]

The series places a group of celebrities and civilians in an isolated location in Turkey, where they are divided into three teams: the Eagles, the Sharks, and the Panthers. Each week, teams compete for the condition they will live that week, either High Beach with all amenities, Medium Beach with some amenities or Low Beach with no amenities at all. In addition, they will compete for leadership, immunity and rewards. The contestants are progressively eliminated from the game as they are voted out by their fellow contestants. The last contestant standing wins the grand prize of $200,000.[4]

Challenges

[edit]
  • Mission Challenge: The teams compete to win the emblem, a symbolic relic of each of Turkey's cities. The two teams with the most emblems before the merger retain their color, name and legacy.
  • Territorial Challenge: The teams compete for the best living conditions, with the winners receiving the keys to High Beach, a luxury beach house with air conditioning, pool, hot water and furnished with beds. The meals of their choice are prepared by a chef. The second place team goes to Medium Beach, which provides them with basic necessities for survival, a roof, a small refrigerator, beds and a bathroom, but have a minimum ration of food and water. The third place team receives the keys to Low Beach, which has the worst living conditions, members have to live outdoors or build their own shelter, and have poor food ration and are not provided with water.
  • Captains' Battle: Each week a team captain is appointed by vote. The captains face each other in a challenge, and the winner gets an advantage for their team in a challenge of their choice.
  • Punishment Challenge: The teams compete to avoid a punishment. The second place team must choose one member of their team to serve the punishment, while the team who comes in last must choose two members to serve the punishment.
  • Adventure Challenge: The teams compete to win the opportunity to live a traditional experience of the region where they are located.
  • Immunity Challenge: The teams compete for immunity from elimination.
  • Honor Challenge: The losing teams of the Immunity Challenge compete to determine the number of members each team will nominate in the trial. The winning team will nominate one member, while the losing team will nominate two members.
  • Money Challenge: The teams compete to win extra money, separate from the $200,000 grand prize, and can keep it even if they are eliminated from the competition.
  • Territory Revenge Challenge: The teams compete once again for the best living conditions. The team living on High Beach must defend their territory against other teams. If they fail to do so, they are expelled and must move to one of the other beaches.
  • Power Challenge: The contestants compete individually to win the Power Bracelet and thus save one of the nominees. In the first round, contestants from the same team compete against each other. The two winners from each team advance to the final round. If a nominee wins, they cannot save themselves and must use it on another nominee.
  • Reward Challenge: The teams compite for luxuries, food, or trips to local sites.
