Stars from across Netflix's reality universe will compete in grueling physical and mental challenges — all while attempting to keep their name off a giant spinning wheel that randomly decides who gets eliminated
PEOPLE has an exclusive first look at Battle Camp, Netflix's newest reality show that brings together stars from Love Is Blind, Cheer, Selling the OC, and more of their hit reality series.
Similar to MTV's The Challenge, Battle Camp will welcome the reality stars to camp, where they're divided into three teams to compete in a series of physical and mental challenges.
However, there's one catch: the players must do whatever it takes to keep their name off a giant spinning wheel that randomly decides who gets eliminated.
In order to keep their names off the wheel, the stars must win daily challenges, the subsequent punishments — and remain likable and non-threatening to their fellow campers. If they are able to achieve all three and avoid elimination each night, the winner will take home the $250,000 prize.

In the trailer, which PEOPLE can exclusively debut, former NFL player and host Taylor Lewan promises a lot of action off the bat as the stars from Love Is Blind, The Ultimatum: Queer Love, Perfect Match, Too Hot to Handle, Selling the OC, Cheer, The Circle, The Mole, Squid Game: The Challenge arrive at camp.
"Camp crushes and a whole lot of competition," he says. "These guys are playing for a massive quarter of a million dollars."
"Definitely not in Orange County anymore," Selling the OC's Gio Helou admits, as The Mole's Tony Castellanos adds: "I don't think I'll be intimidated by a bunch of guys from Too Hot to Handle."

With challenges that test the competitors' physical ability, mental strength, and even how well they can stomach some "nightmare" punishments (does a dried tarantula sound appetizing?) only one player can come out on top.
"They'll need to win epic challenges, endure grueling punishments, and dodge camp votes," Taylor says as the players scheme on who's the biggest "threat" and who they can trust.

At the end of each day, every camper will get a vote as to who they want to eliminate from the game. But then, it's up to the wheel to decide the fate.
"They'll need to keep their names off this beautiful piece of machinery to become Battle Camp champ," Taylor says in the trailer.
"The stakes, I think for everyone, just shot through the roof," Gio notes, as The Circle's Kyle Fuller adds in a final dramatic moment, "We are playing a game. We gon' act buddy buddy, but I'm coming after your neck."
