The premise is self explanatory; twenty new campers come to an all new Island (named Chris Island by the host due to it lacking an official name) and compete to be the last camper standing and win the grand prize of one million dollars. They are split into two teams, the Brilliant Brains and the Brutal Brawns, based on if they are strong or smart. But things get a little more complicated when some campers seem to be on the 'wrong' team, and some campers don't excel at either category...

It is said to be LighterAndSofter than the previous story, most of the time.

Removed Word Cruft & superfluous markup. Examples must be in present tense. Misuse of spoiler tagging—tagging trope names in example lists is strictly forbidden, do not spoiler tag an example\'s entire text, and only tag genuine spoilers. Misuse of Reality Ensues—there\'s no evidence that the eliminations in this work weren\'t being played realistically from the start.
