Format
[edit]Fifty celebrities live together in a luxurious estate that is isolated from the outside world, as they compete in a series of elimination challenges until one of them wins up to US$350,000. The competition is under the command of a mysterious game master, El León (The Lion), with the help of his assistants: foxes, dogs and rabbits. The series allows viewers to have the opportunity to be part of the game and win cash prizes by supporting their favorite celebrity.[6][7]
Competitions

Safety Competition
[edit]In the Safety competition, the nominated celebrities compete for one last chance to save themselves from elimination. This competition is based on endurance or skill.
¿Vas o no vas?
[edit]¿Vas o no vas? (Are You In or Out?) is an individual competition allows the celebrities to win money for the grand prize jackpot. The competition is played in three stages of mental and physical challenges, with each stage having a reward. If the celebrities fail a challenge, the money offered is deducted from the jackpot. Three celebrities are handpicked to compete, each doing a different stage. The Lion chooses the celebrity that will compete in the first stage, while the second and third stage competitors are chosen by the celebrity that played the previous stage. A celebrity can refuse the invitation to compete and choose a replacement, however they will lose money from the jackpot.

If a player draws the "Nominate a Player at the Table" card, they must nominate a player participating at the event. If a player draws the "Nominate a Player in the House" card, they must nominate a player from the house who is not part of the event.
Sunday Competition
