Million Dollar Island: promos

Seven is teasing Million Dollar Island, and profiling some of its 100 contestants chasing $1m.

The series is coming soon.

Meet Brett, a confident 45-year-old environmentalist from Queensland who is prepared to cross every line and do anything to claim his share of the prize money. Brett says his competitors have no idea what’s coming: “I’m definitely the most powerful man on the island. I’m willing to do whatever it takes to get those bracelets. I’m not worried about ruffling feathers. I’ll pluck them right out of there if I have to. They’re about to be devastated!” He wryly adds, “If I have to cut someone’s leg off and eat it over the fire, that’s what I’ll do!”

There’s nothing like a mother’s love, and like a mumma bear possessed, mother of six Tess is on a mission to make a better life for her family by competing on Million Dollar Island. “I want to provide something for my family that I never could have. I’m going to fight really hard. I want to make my family proud,” says the Western Australian personal trainer on competing for the $1 million prize. “I told them mummy was on an island looking for treasure!” Will Tess’ love for her family be enough to get her through a competition without the norms of society? Where will her competitors draw the line? Will humanity win over, or will the lure of a life-changing fortune lead them to do whatever it takes to win?

Farmers, retail workers, garbos, nurses, real estate agents and more leave the real world to fight for the $1 million prize. One hundred everyday Aussies land on a remote desert island, each wearing a bracelet worth $10,000. They gain or lose bracelets by competing in games, forming alliances, scheming or stealing: all while trying to survive the harsh conditions with limited means.

Million Dollar Island is hosted by Ant Middleton and produced by award-winning Eureka Productions, the maker of some of the world’s biggest entertainment shows, including Seven’s Farmer Wants A Wife.
