Format

Each week contestants compete in challenges for points. The best performing contestant of the week is awarded three points and the lowest-performing contestant receives none and is muted, thus unable to compete in the following episode's challenge. The winner of the show is determined through a final showdown and receives a cash prize of $25,000. The show is shot virtually with contestants competing from their own homes.
