"Money Road – Every temptation has a price", new show hosted by Fabio Caressa kicks off on Sky

Starting Thursday, May 29, is Sky’s great new show Money Road – Every Temptation Has a Price. At the helm will be Fabio Caressa, a beloved Sky face, here in his absolute debut in hosting an entertainment program.

The show is the first Italian adaptation of the international format “Tempting Fortune” – awarded among the best international titles in recent years, with overseas and European editions to its credit, including UK, where the second season recently concluded successfully. The Sky Original show is produced by Blu Yazmine will be every Thursday for six weeks on Sky and streaming on NOW, and also simulcast on TV8.

Money Road – Every Temptation Has a Price is a strategy game and unprecedented social experiment. Twelve ordinary people, of different ages, backgrounds and social backgrounds, are brought together in the Malaysian jungle, a remote and wild place with far-from-home and sometimes extreme climatic, landscape and environmental conditions. Fabio Caressa is tasked with directing this experiment: in a context of strict deprivation, having only the bare minimum for survival, the participants – brought together in what will be called the “Company of Temptations” – will have to face a 12-day-long multi-stretch trek in this beautiful but hostile and forbidding nature, full of storm-water rivers, insects and leeches, full of impervious climbs.

They will have to face a 12-day long trek in the jungle, which will be a difficult journey.

In their arduous journey, made in extremely high temperatures and often intolerable heat that could reach 40 degrees with 98 percent humidity, they will have to try to stick together and, above all, not give in to the temptations they will be subjected to. They will be tempted with irresistible proposals that might make it easier for them to survive, but which will actually end up eroding the final prize pool, which at the start is 300 thousand euros: if anyone were to give in, the consequences of the choice would fall on the’entire group, as the prize up for grabs would be reduced by the price of the temptation.

What will be left of the jackpot will be the final goal: whoever in the last episode reaches the finish line will have a chance to participate in the division of the available amount.

The Company will be constantly tested with temptations of all kinds and magnitudes involving the individual or the entire group, and sometimes they may even be “secret”.

All these mechanisms will generate an inevitable conflict between individual and collective choices and goals: who will think of themselves and who of the good of the group?

In addition, in the heart of the Malaysian jungle, during the strenuous treks that await them, the participants in Money Road – Every Temptation Has a Price will be able to run into some guests, protagonists and real organizers of temptations: they will find MasterChef Italy judge Giorgio Locatelli, Asia Argento and Enzo Miccio.

Directing this social experiment and leading the group through the various legs, Fabio Caressa will follow the actions and decisions and of the participants and collect their emotions. In Fabio’s narrative, there will be no judgment, only the’invitation to think about the choices and consequences, observing which the audience will also be led to identify with the 12 protagonists, asking themselves: what would we have done in their place?
