Format
[edit]Set in Jamaica, the series followed a group of unmarried men and women who lived together at a luxury resort. The contestants, who voluntarily agreed to cease contact with their friends and family, had the opportunity to live at and enjoy the amenities of the resort indefinitely. Contestants accrued a monetary reward pursuant to however long they resided at the resort. This reward, however, was contingent on the contestants remaining at the resort for predetermined periods of time. Contestants had the ability to leave the series at anytime, however, they would no longer receive the reward if they opted to leave. As the series progressed, producers introduced new contestants and guest stars, which included former partners and long-lost relatives of the contestants. The series was hosted by English television presenter Ruth England.
Production
[edit]The concept for the series stemmed from the reality television series Paradise Hotel.[1]
The series was filmed in Jamaica at a cost of $750,000 per episode.[2]
