At the end of the competition, the last man standing would go home with 1000 pounds, an equivalent of N942k.

One of the contestants, Dubravka Aksic said:

“All of us feel good, excellent, there are no health problems, they are pampering us, all we have to do is to remain lying down."

Another contestant, Filip Knezevic remarked:

“We have everything we need here, company is fantastic, time goes by quickly."

The interesting competition is taking place at a resort. The competitors were seen lying on beds, with many of them clutching their smartphones.

Others were seen with textbooks, while many appeared to be sleeping.
