's Format, I'm a Celebrity…Get Me out of Here!. The basic concept is the same, where a group of celebrities have to survive in a jungle camp without any amenities, and must compete with each other to stay on in the show.
Every contestant gets a handful of rice and some soyabean/lentils for food every three days, which is clearly not enough for survival. Therefore, they must participate in various physically challenging contests and win "food credits" for themselves and their team members. Each day, the team must nominate one participant to play in the day's contest and be the bread-winner for that day.
At the end of every week, the contestant with the least number of public votes and the contestant with the most number of elimination nominations from the participants face off in an elimination task called the "Maha Jungle Challenge". The winner of this challenge gets to stay back while the loser is eliminated from the game.
The audience can vote for their favorite participants via phone calls or SMS.
Some more celebrities were introduced in later episodes as the original celebrities started getting eliminated. One contestant, Shweta Tiwari
, quit the contest midway.
Mona Wasu won the show's first season.
