Format
The players all live in their own individual "apartments", however while all living in the same building, they are not allowed to speak face to face, or even see each other.

Each week players rate each other from favorite to least favorite, and after everyone rated the average ratings are revealed. The top two favorites become influencers and choose which person to block. Being blocked means that the player cannot participate in the game any longer. This format continues with minor twists, until only one person is left standing.
