GET READY FOR A REALITY TELEVISION ADVENTURE LIKE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE...

THIS SUMMER, 9 CONTESTANTS WILL BE INVITED TO SPEND TWO WEEKS IN AN UNDISCLOSED LOCATION, LIVING IN AN UNCOMFORTABLE ENVIRONMENT AND WILL COMPETE AGAINST EACH OTHER TO WIN THE GAME.

SOUNDS LIKE A FAMILIAR REALITY TELEVISION SHOW, RIGHT?

WRONG!

REALITY CHECK IS A CONSTANTLY EVOLVING GAME, WHERE CONTESTANTS WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT'S COMING NEXT AND WHERE THERE IS NO STRICT FORMAT. FURTHERMORE, REALITY CHECK PUSHES THE ENVELOPE OF REALITY TELEVISION BY TAKING MAJOR ASPECTS FROM OTHER REALITY TELEVISION SHOWS, TWISTING THEM AROUND, AND FORCING THE 9 STRANGERS TO NOT ONLY ADAPT TO EACH OTHER AND A FOREIGN LOCALE, BUT FORCES THEM TO ADJUST TO A FAST-PACED, COMPETITION-DRIVEN MIXTURE OF EVERYTHING THAT HAS MADE REALITY TELEVISION SUCCESSFUL, FROM "THE REAL WORLD" TO "SURVIVOR," FROM "BIG BROTHER" TO "THE MOLE."

IF YOU THINK YOU BELONG ON THIS SHOW, GET READY TO CHECK YOUR REALITY AT THE DOOR IN THIS GROUND-BREAKING, FRESH NEW PRODUCTION AND APPLY NOW!
