Desert Island Rescue

Desert Island Rescue is a new variety show.

There would be a total of nine participants comprising of celebrities, experts, and commoners who would be cast away on a desert island for a total of twenty-four hours. Within that twenty-four hours, they would have to complete a series of activities and missions that had already been prepared beforehand by the production team. There will be a total of six instalments for this batch of participants and the difficulties of the missions that they would have to complete would increase over time.

All the tasks and the missions prepared by the production team that were to be completed by the participants were simulations of the predicaments and possible dangers possibly encountered by someone stranded in a tropical jungle. Therefore, this variety show was usually filled with endless thrills and excitement.

## Episode 1

### Instructions

“Dear guests, hello and welcome to the filming set for the first phase of <Desert Island Rescue>. I am going to brief all of you on the rules and regulations that you have to obey for the first phase of the competition.”

“There will be a total of nine guests who will subsequently be divided into three separate groups comprising of one expert, one celebrity, and one amateur in each group. The group members will be decided on a lottery basis and the expert guest in each group would automatically assume the role as the group leader. All the decisions made by the group must ultimately be determined by the group leader.”

“The theme for our first episode is called <Self Rescue>. The time limit that has been given for you to make your way to the destination is twenty-four hours. We will provide each group a simple map as a guideline. The mission for this episode is very simple and straightforward. The group that successfully makes it to the final destination with all three members of the group present will win the mission immediately.”

“You can choose to either take a different route or to choose a similar route as the other groups.”

“The winning group will receive a very good buff for the next episode whereas any group that fails to reach the destination on time will have to go through a more difficult mission for the next episode. If any group or any one of the group members gives up and choose not to continue with the mission, that group will be immediately eliminated.”

“If your group arrives in second or third place while successfully making it to the final destination within the mission time limit, then you will not receive any buff for the next mission. You will also be given the normal mission instead of a more difficult one for the next episode.”

“Every one of you is given an opportunity to stop doing the mission whenever you want to. However, you should take note that as soon as one member announces that they would like to quit and that they can no longer continue with the mission, the entire group would then be eliminated as a whole.”

“Now, I would like to invite each and every guest to step forward to pick one of these slips of papers. After looking at the number stated on the slip, you can then gather with your assigned team members.”

### Instructions

“We are about to begin filming the second episode of <Desert Island Rescue>. However, there are some announcements that I have to make before we officially begin. I hope that all guests will pay extra attention to the announcements today. As all of you will be placed on a desert this time, this is not a laughing matter. You could easily suffer from lack of electrolytes, dehydration, and also heat stroke. This might put you in an extremely critical condition. Therefore, you should pay attention to your own health. Should any of you, especially Tong Tong, realize that you are unable to eat, drink, or function properly, you must quickly give up so that we can attend to you immediately. We have a helicopter on standby throughout the entire duration of the filming.”

“I will now announce the rules and regulations of the mission this time. The theme for this episode is <Finding Your Missing Partner>. Your mission is to travel across the desert to rescue your partner, who is one of the production crew members, within twenty-four hours.”

“We had originally planned to pair everyone up, but since Tong Tong has a weaker body, we will place Tong Tong in the same group as Jiang Yuning and Xu Beishen. The remaining six members will draw lots to determine their partners.”

“After you have determined your group member, all of you will be allowed to enter the supermarket here to pick whatever you want to carry with you into the desert. You can take anything you want, as long as you can carry it on you. After that, everyone is to gather at the entrance of the supermarket at eight o’clock. Our production crew will then drive all of you to a random location to drop you off before you officially begin your mission. Your mission is to survive and look for clues that we have hidden in the desert to find out the whereabouts of your missing partner.”

“The points that you accumulate for this episode will be counted as a group effort and you will obtain extra points every time you complete a mission. At the end of the day, your points will be divided among you and your group members, and this will be added to the points that you have accumulated from the last episode.”

“In the last episode, Xu Beishen’s group came in the last place. Therefore, your punishment this time is that each of you can only bring a maximum of five items into the desert with you for this episode.”

### Instructions

“It is seven o’clock at night now and we will officially announce the rules and regulations of the game this issue. The theme for this issue that we are recording today is called the <Mysterious Key>. This is a personal battle and everyone who successfully completes the mission will be awarded fifty points. Similarly, anyone who fails to complete the mission will get fifty points deducted from the total amount of points that they have currently accumulated.”

“In a short while, the production crew will blindfold each and every one of you, and you will be required to draw a card that will determine your fate in this competition. Among the ten cards, one would be the source of all evil and one of it is the god of luck. The remaining eight members will take on the role of normal civilians. The two members who pick the cards stating that they are the source of all evil and the god of luck will be the team leaders for two separate groups. The civilians will be given the opportunity to select the team leader they would like to follow and spend the next twenty-four hours with to complete the task of finding the key to open up the iron gate. Of course, you will also be given the option to complete the mission on your own without following any groups, but this is not advisable because you will definitely miss out on many clues.”

“In addition, all of you are required to put on the special battle gear that we have already prepared in advance for you. Each of you will also be given a backpack to carry along with you. You should take extra care to use the supplies and tools that we have given you in a reasonable manner because this would definitely help you complete the mission.”

“Finally, if anyone of you cannot hold on any longer, you can use the smoke bomb that we have placed inside the backpack to call for help. This will immediately eliminate you from the game.”
