Inside Strangers on a Plane – the bonkers Channel 4 show dubbed ‘the new Come Dine With Me’
INSIDE Strangers on a Plane, a new Channel 4 show, has been compared to Come Dine With Me, with contestants having to compete for each other’s votes – here’s all that you need to know.
The new reality programme follows five people as they fight to establish who can plan the best holiday.
Each contestant on Strangers on a Plane is given complete control for one day of the five-day trip while striving to entertain the other contestants on a tight budget.
Whoever receives the most votes gets to spend an additional week in the sun with a relative or friend.
Five finalists take a flight to a popular vacation area where they have one day each to demonstrate their planning prowess.
The other participants rate the organizer’s choice of daytime activity, night out, lodging, and hosting abilities on a daily scale of up to 25 stars.
Speaking about the new show, Channel 4 said: “
“As each holidaymaker takes their turn to plan their perfect day, they must make the key decisions: what accommodation everyone stays in, where they all eat, what activities the group does and what the evening entertainment is.
“The sky’s the limit on imagination, but the budget is set. If they overspend, they could soon end up with a holiday nightmare.
“At the end of each week, the group votes on who planned the best day, with the winner enjoying another week in the sun with a friend or family member.
“Everyone has a different idea of what makes a good holiday and these strangers on a plane will need to please more than just themselves if they’re to emerge a holiday hero.”
According to Gill Brown, Channel 4‘s commissioning executive: “Strangers on a Plane is destined to be a wild and rowdy afternoon joy on Channel 4. I’m eager to observe the antics of our tourists.
Singer Wyen took charge of the holiday arrangements in Sunny, Benidorm, in the recently shown first episode.
She went all out, booking a suite for herself and a luxury yacht, and performing a song she had written. But, a heated dispute reached a head as tempers began to rise.
