How far would you go for a substantial sum of money? That’s the central question posed by Channel 4’s “Tempting Fortune,” which returns this Sunday with another dose of jungle treachery and high-stakes decision-making. Host Paddy McGuinness oversees the proceedings as 12 strangers trek through the humid Malaysian jungle, battling not only the elements but also their own desires.
The group begins with a £300,000 prize pot, a sum that dwindles with every temptation they succumb to. This week, a secret sealed bid for a luxury overnight stay leads to some truly outrageous spending, further fracturing the already fragile trust within the group. When the group is split in half for 48 hours, the tension ratchets up another notch, with tempers flaring as the extent of the spending is revealed.
“Tempting Fortune” is a fascinating study of human behavior under pressure. As the prize money dwindles will alliances crumble and individual greed take hold? Tune in to Channel 4 Sunday, March 30th at 9:00 PM to see who cracks under pressure. Episode 6 will be available to stream following the transmission of this episode. Episode 6 is also on Channel 4 tomorrow night.
