ITV2 via ITVX, Loaded in Paradise comes across as a mixture of Greece Uncovered and Wanted – five pairs of mates compete to live it up going around Greece spending on a luxury credit credit card that gets reloaded on a daily basis, but they have to watch their backs as the other groups will be trying to find them and steal the card off them so they can have the luxury themselves. Sounds like there are fifteen “rounds” and I’m expecting the final round to end with a decently large cash prize for whoever’s holding on to the card at the end.
It will be very interesting to see what sort of balance there will be between the inevitable naughtiness and staying on the run, and it’s certainly a more interesting idea to us than another go at something Love Island-y. My interest is piqued.
In other news, and a week late, pleased to see the return of The GladPod – the first series had some really good and relevant guests on it so looking forward to see who they’ve got lined up for series two.
Hopefully there is a game aspect to the purchases. C4’s Boys and Girls was awful but had a really good concept as a spin-off where the winners spent the money following different rules each day.
