Summary: In this six-week reality challenge, teams of two compete in different taks to win a large cash prize. The catch?

(It's up to you to figure out why watching a multi-millionaire attempt to win even more money is compelling television.)

Critic Reviews

Rob Owen

Although the series hypocritically and formulaically exploits stereotypes before proving some of them wrong, "Survival of the Richest" is rich in entertainment value in spite of itself. Read full review

Mike Duffy

Doesn't quite rise to the cheerful, sweetly clever quality level of WB's "Beauty and the Geek." Read full review

Verne Gay

Viewers will immediately locate the central flaw. If half of the contestants are so rich, then why go to all this trouble for $200,000? Read full review

David Hinckley

Cold-hearted and dreadful. Read full review

Laura Fries

Everyone appears far too prepared to play a part, and any self-realization comes far too fast without any real transformation. Either producers picked a bunch of duds to participate or else the editing team was so hopped up on caffeine they cut out the juicy parts. Read full review

John Maynard

Really rich kids, it turns out, make for really annoying reality TV stars. Read full review
