And basically it's kind of like an escape room where there's like different clues. You can get it randomly. Like I can pick that up and it can be a clue underneath it. Or we can do a challenge and get a clue. And it's like a money clock that ticks. And the money goes up and up, you know, the longer you're in the house. So you have to decide when do you want to get out? What's your number?
What's the Reality?
Surviving Temptation Island with Alexa and Lino and Love is Blind ASMR with Yahné Coleman.

And then you also have to decide if you want to do it alone, which really is difficult. So you can build a team or if you want to backstab people and not give them the half at the end. So it can get really tricky if you wanted to. Yeah.
