Choose Your Contestant is a high-paced competition show where viewers are not just spectators, but active decision-makers.
Strategy, voting, and tactical battles take center stage.

Each group transforms into its own game universe.
Contestants develop individual strategies, make tactical moves to gain viewer support, and engage in social, psychological, and digital warfare to survive.

​

Structure and Progression

Choose Your Contestant is a viewer-driven, strategy-focused pre-selection show that determines which contestants will enter the main season of Indahauz IDA.

The program unfolds across 6 separate groups.
Each group lasts 21 days and features 16 contestants.

Viewer votes, gift-based support, and strategic achievements shape the outcome.

At the end of each group:

• 7 contestants qualify for the main IDA cast through viewer support.

• 1 contestant qualifies through strategic success.

The 6th and final group features contestants who participated in earlier rounds but failed to make the main cast.
In this special round, only 4 contestants earn a second chance to enter IDA.

​

Objective
