You know how there are days when you just don’t want to get out of bed? Now imagine being paid $100,000 to *stay* in one. But there’s a catch.

*The* *Bed Rot Challenge* is a new reality competition web series in which stars from *Survivor*,* **The Traitors*,* **Love Island USA*,* **The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives*,* **The Bachelorette*, and *Beast Games** *will attempt to outwit and outlast each other… on a bed.

Whoever can stay in bed the longest without coming into contact with the ground — while also surviving elimination challenges — will win $100,000. There will also be contests that enable contestants to win or lose comfort along the way.

*The Bed Rot Challenge* cast includes a trio of former *Survivor* contestants: Carolyn Wiger (also of *The Traitors*), Natalie Anderson (also of *The Traitors*, *The Amazing Race*, and *The Challenge*), and Ben Katzman. They will be joined by *Love Island* star Vanna Einerson, *The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives*’ Chase McWhorter, *Beast Games* competitor Zadok Esters, and Aaron Kahng from Taylor Frankie Paul’s unaired season of *The Bachelorette.* Also competing is bodybuilding YouTuber Luke Yates, and two newcomers hoping to score a cool 100 grand.

The series is hosted by London Lazerson and being produced by Cozy Earth. It will feature six episodes streaming on Cozy Earth’s YouTube channel, with the first installment dropping June 11.

Will Carolyn be as awesomely unpredictable on a bed as she is on land? Will Ben Katzman be able to shred on the guitar in a reclined position? And how long can fitness nut Natalie Anderson *really* go without working out? These are but a few of the questions that may be answered when *The Bed Rot Challenge* premieres, but for now, take a gander at the cast of competitors below.
