You are given 10 billion dollars to create a game show. It can involve anything including illegal things and death if you so desire. What is your game show?

Ant Regicide:

Two colonies of contestants (around 100 each) are dropped onto a deserted tropical island and have to build a functioning society or colony, with designated jobs for the humans, such as labourers, soldiers, and most importantly the queen. They have to farm their own produce, hunt their own food, and build their own hive. Every week, based on the progress of their colony, the show hosts will evaluate how sustainable their place is. If they have a functioning colony with good social order and plenty of food and supples, more labourer humans will be added to the show. If conversely their queen has not emplacemed good regulations and anarchy exists, with a lack of food and supplies, then contestants will be removed, resulting I a smaller, disadvantaged colony.

Remember, these two colonies are competing against each other for the same finite resources and food on the island. Come nightfall, the two competing colonies are allowed to fight and steal. They can invade the other colony, kill the labourers, steal food and disadvantage their opponents. By dawn, fighting is not allowed. If a very aggressive colony neglects food production and economy, they will be penalised by the show hosts, so there is great incentive to balance labourers/food management with soldiers and attacking and waging war on the other colony.

Of course, the ultimate objective is to kill or capture the enemy queen (hence the name regicide) and thus win the game show competition, and with a 100 million dollar bounty for the winning colony. Therefore, it may be advantageous for a colony to neglect good and economy and focus on developing a small band of 10 or so soldier-assassins to steal food a night and aim to assassinate their enemy queen, thus separating 100 million between 10 of them, as opposed to the same bounty being divided amongst a successful 300- strong hive colony.

I want this to exist.
