Moolah Beach is a reality show in the vein of Survivor, but with teenagers competing in competitions in order to not be exiled from the beach and ultimately win $25,000. It aired on Fox Kids as a 30-minute show and Fox Family (later shown on ABC Family) as an extended 60-minute show in the late summer/early fall of 2001 for 6 episodes (the entire series was then rerun), with J.D. Roth serving as both host and producer. The show was filmed on Pilaa Beach near Hanalei on the island of Kauai's North Shore. At the conclusion of the second cycle, a half-hour Moolah Beach: The Reunion special was aired, in which the contestants discussed what they had been doing since the series ended, as well as fielding questions from audience members. At the end of the program, Roth stated that a new season of Moolah Beach would be airing in the summer of 2002, but that never materialized. The format of the show was later reworked into the Discovery Kids series Endurance. Contestants The 12 contestants were divided up into the following 6 teams: Show format Beginning At the beginning of the game, the 12 kids were paired off into six teams of 2 (each composed of one male and one female), determined by a challenge in which the winner got the partner of their choice. At this point, J.D. presented the "Idol Village" which was composed of 13 idols, each one representing one of the gods of Hawaii. Inside one of the idols was the $25,000 grand prize. Missions Like on Endurance, there were two type of challenges: Makahiki Missions and Kahuna Missions. Makahiki Missions Makahiki Missions were usually based on physical strength/endurance. The team that won the challenges won the right to claim 2 of the idols in the game that had not yet been chosen. In addition, they also gained a clue that hints at an idol that did NOT have the grand prize. There were 4 clues in all. Kahuna Missions In Kahuna Missions, the six teams competed in a game of skill to win offerings (colored markers) that would help to keep them on the beach. The first team to finish this game earned 10 offerings to the Great Kahuna, the second-place team earned 5, and each team after that received one fewer than the team preceding it.
