Overview
Unlike other reality shows, participants on Castaways may not be initially aware that there are other "Castaways" nearby.[3] This had led some sources to compare the show to Lost.[4][5] Moreover, the participants can leave only by waiting for a rescue team at the end of the show or by quitting.[3]
Each castaway has one piece of luggage. They all arrive alone and with their or someone else's luggage washed up on shore with them. Everyone is required to have a journal in their luggage where they write about themselves, thus allowing those who find it to learn about them.
