*Spoilers Ahead*
After premiering January 1st, 2020, this Netflix original took a twist of classic competition shows like 'Big Brother' and made it into their own. This social experiment and competition show took on a twist on its own with it all being online and had none of the competitors meeting face to face.
Competitors are forced to interact with others entirely on a faux social network system created specifically for the game in hope to win $100,000. This network is voice-activated meaning that contestants must speak aloud their social media posts and messages to one another. Eliminations are based, in theory, on who is the most likable and "real" in their posts and photos.
Since nobody can physically see each other, some people decide to be themselves and others decided to be that person they think will make them win. This has its benefits but also some cons. To many times, competitors find themselves getting in sticky situations on whether or not if they should be who they are so they don't potential drop their social rating and be eliminated.
