Once the group have all voted, they gather with the hosts around the camp fire, and the result of the vote is revealed. The celebrity with the most votes is duly eliminated from the competition, and sent home. Subsequent episodes play out in the same fashion, however the celebrity who won the immunity challenge in the previous episode becomes one of the team leaders in the next episode.

In the final episode, the three celebrities who remain in the competition take part in a challenge which sees one of them eliminated. In the first series this was to swim as far as they could under an ice-covered lake, with the celebrity who swam the shortest distance being eliminated. The last two remaining celebrities then take part in an endurance challenge.

This involves a 2km hike across snow fields, with the first to arrive having the choice of spending the night in a tent or a snow cave. The next morning follows a 20km journey by dog sled, with the time margin the celebrity in the lead had when crossing the line being given to them as a head start for the final part of the challenge.

This sees the celebrities run to, and then traverse a valley metres deep, by means of a rope crossing spanning the 35 metres across the valley. Once across, they must then run to a beacon, and set it alight. The lighting of the beacon at 71 Degrees North gives them the overall victory. The first series never really hit its stride - probably not helped by three of the four female participants being knocked out in the first four shows - but, given that this format's been going since in its native territory, there was enough production nous around to ensure a passable product made it out the other end.

After two series, the programme was axed in June , reportedly due to the difficulty of finding celebrities of the right calibre to take part. Weaver's Week review. A Labyrinth Games site. Design by Thomas.
