I was flipping through the channels after a late dinner and saw the tail end of ‘Rebel Billionaire’ it looks pretty fun.
Billionaire dude comes up with all these challenges, and uses them to slowly eliminate all the contestants; winner gets to run his (the billionaires) companies for a year.
It turns out that the challenge was a scam; it was in fact a test, to examine the two contestant’s decision making abilities, ability to asses risk, etc. The one who decided not to get in the barrel ended up being the ‘winner’ (ie not being eliminated).

 Rebel Billionaire Safari Sir Richard Branson
Hanging rope bridges connect the stilted private wooden huts that line the gnarly grasses along the dry riverbank while the crowning glory of his Rock Lodge is carved from the ancient rock.
So laid back that in one of the first segments of his Rebel Billionaire television show, Branson challenged his TV contestants to spend a night in the wild bush, hyenas and all.
And so laid back is the Virgin King that on one visit when there was no room at his 18-room worldclass five-star resort he did what any rebel billionaire would do.

 Show Review: The Rebel Billionaire - Christian Business
In September ABC premiered The Benefactor, with the outspoken billionaire owner of the Mavericks Mark Cuban in the "starring" role.
For example, to determine who goes home at the end of one recent episode, two contestants are made to repel off a 70-story building in the middle of London and hang a series of lettered flags from their ropes on the way down in an attempt to spell out a slogan for a fabricated company.
Whereas The Apprentice begins and ends—for better or for worse—in the thick of American corporate culture, replete with the cut-throatedness of Darwinian business models, The Rebel Billionaire begins with entrepreneurs and ends with scenarios usually found only in Mountain Dew commercials.

Fox's special two-hour debut of its new The Rebel Billionaire: Branson's Quest For The Best struggled versus CBS's night-long Country Music Association Awards broadcast on Tuesday, November 9, drawing only 5.1 million viewers, a 2.3/6 rating/share in the Adults 18-49 demographic, and a 3.3/5 in households.
While CBS's CMA telecast dominated the airwaves (averaging nearly twice the audience of its next closest rival during the 8-10PM time period during which Rebel Billionaire aired), Branson's show also trailed its non-awards shows competition, placing Fox fifth in its time period for the 8PM hour before moving up to fourth for the 9PM hour.

 The Rebel Billionaire: the Best of the Rest - Richard Branson’s Reality Bonanza - Elites TV - Your Elite News Source
The high-octane The Rebel Billionaire (FOX), cleverly derived from the wealthy daredevil’s initials, duplicates the formulas from the most successful shows in the reality competition genre and showcases them all in one.
Richard Branson’s mega-spectacular adventure-competition borrows the ideal combination from other successful formulas in the genre, but his random selection of contestant participation and ejection is unbalanced, raising the question of legitimacy.
The catch with the Gauntlet was that the team could reselect the same person more than once, every time in fact, because they either felt very confident that person would always win, sending an opponent home, or they disliked that person so greatly, they hoped he or she would fail and be eliminated.

In the end, Virgin founder and The Rebel Billionaire star Richard Branson selected the finalist that one fellow contestant described as his own "Mini Me" -- wild haired Shawn Nelson, the brash 26-year-old business entrepreneur that Richard nearly fired in the opening minutes of the show's premiere episode due to his arrogance.
Richard Branson might be a billionaire, but as Mark Cuban learned earlier this fall when his ABC The Benefactor series struggled, in addition to happiness, money also apparently can't buy Nielsen ratings.
