Synopsis:
Are you up for the physical and mental tests of MOOLAH BEACH?
The adventure, thrill and drama of the six-episode teen reality
game show begins Saturday, September 8 on Fox Kids Network (Fox
Kids) (10:00-10:30 AM/ET) and on Fox Family Channel (12:00 -1:00
PM ET/PT).
Unlike any
show of its kind, MOOLAH BEACH will premiere in a half-hour format
on Fox Kids and an hour format on Fox Family, with each version
providing unique perspectives and insights. The half-hour episodes
on Fox Kids will focus on the action-packed missions and bizarre
dares. The one hour episodes on Fox Family will delve deeper into
the drama that ensues and the coalitions forged among the teens.
The six-episode
reality game show executive produced, developed and hosted by
JD Roth ("Fun House," "Zooventure," "Mad Libs") and co-executive
produced and based on the concept by Ilyssa Goodman and Nancy
Mancini, puts teens to the test with Hawaiian themed physical
and mental obstacles in an idyllic and isolated island setting.
Through a
nationwide contestant search, twelve teens, ages 12-16, were flown
to MOOLAH BEACH. They arrived, via ancient Hawaiian outriggers,
on one of the most unique stretches of sand in the entire world
- the only place to get a savage tan and win one of the largest
cash prizes ever awarded on Saturday morning.
Upon arrival,
the contestants were faced with thirteen distinct idol statues,
one of which contained $25,000. The contestants paired off into
six coed teams of two, with the goal of completing Hawaiian themed
missions to acquire as many idols as possible, thereby increasing
their odds of obtaining the one idol with the grand prize. The
grand prize will be revealed in the final episode, Saturday, October
13th.
Once the teams
were selected, the games truly began... Contestants faced two
daily missions to accumulate idols and increase their odds of
staying on MOOLAH BEACH. Each team formulated strategies and forged
relationships to handicap other teams' chances of winning.
The missions
and rituals included:
MAKAHIKI MISSION - A game of mind, body and strategy derived from
ancient Hawaiian culture. For thousands of years, during the Makahiki
season, games were played to protect Hawaiian villages.
MOOLAH BEACH takes things a bit further. The champion of the Makahiki
physical missions earns the right to select two idols and receives
clues hinting at which idol does not contain the grand prize.
KAHUNA MISSION
- A daily physical mission which determines each teams' odds of
being exiled from Moolah Beach. The order in which the teams successfully
complete the missions determines the number of color-coded idols
each team receives.
FACE THE GREAT
KAHUNA - After a Kahuna Mission, all teams make offerings of their
acquired idols to the Great Kahuna. Randomly one idol at a time
drops out of the Great Kahuna. The team whose idol is not picked
from the Great Kahuna's mouth will be exiled from the beach.
THE SEARCH
FOR THE LOST IDOLS - In the final episode only two teams remain
to compete for the last four unclaimed idols. This mission, a
large-scale treasure hunt, has contestants making a mad scramble
over land and sea, using a series of clues to find the remaining
idols.
TEMPTATION
OF THE SPIRITS - Once all of the idols are accounted for, the
final ritual begins. Enticing prize packages are offered to the
two remaining teams in exchange for handing over select idols
to their opponents. Each team must use their clues and strategically
decide which idols to risk.
THE SPIRITS
SPEAK - Host JD Roth slowly eliminates empty idols until only
one remains for each team. Both teams dramatically open their
last idol and reveal which duo is the grand prize winner--the
King and Queen of MOOLAH BEACH.
