Lotería
''Lotería'' (Spanish word meaning "lottery") is a traditional game of chance, similar to bingo, but using images on a deck of cards instead of numbered ping pong balls.

Each player has at least one ', a board with a randomly created 4 x 4 grid of pictures with their corresponding name and number. Players choose a ''tabla'' (Spanish word for "board") to play with, from a variety of previously created ', each with a different selection of images. The traditional ''Lotería'' card deck is composed of a set of 54 different cards, each with a different picture. To start the game, the caller (''cantor'', Spanish for "singer") shuffles the deck.

Dandy
A dandy is a man who places particular importance upon physical appearance, refined language, and leisurely hobbies, pursued with the appearance of nonchalance. A dandy could be a self-made man who strove to imitate an aristocratic lifestyle despite coming from a middle-class background, especially in late 18th- and early 19th-century Britain. Previous manifestations of the ''petit-maître'' (French for "small master") and the Muscadin have been noted by John C. Prevost, but the modern practice of dandyism first appeared in the revolutionary 1790s, both in London and in Paris. The dandy cultivated cynical reserve, yet to such extremes that novelist George Meredith, himself no dandy, once defined cynicism as "intellectual dandyism". Some took a more benign view; Thomas Carlyle wrote in ''Sartor Resartus'' that a dandy was no more than "a clothes-wearing man". Honoré de Balzac introduced the perfectly worldly and unmoved Henri de Marsay in '' La fille aux yeux d'or'' (1835), a part ...

While in the 2000 series 36 men, women and children moved to a remote Scottish island for a year, this series featured 15 men and women from the British public who were moved to a New Zealand island for three months. The basic premise of a group of volunteers living as a community in a remote location remains, however this time the BBC promised an "exotic location, on the other side of the world". Another change since ''Castaway 2000'', was that the castaways were voted off the island one-by-one, in a manner similar to other reality series like '' Big Brother''. The prize for the winning castaway, which was Jonathan, was a trip around New Zealand with a friend later in the year.
