Will US citizens also get to compete to test their wits?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

US citizens get to compete too. The winner gets to keep their citizenship, while the rest will be shipped to El Salvador.

Next season: Inmates compete who gets to live another day. Every day, one of them gets eliminated by summary execution.
