Netflix renews 'most confusing game show' ever - completely dividing opinion after string of complaints
Netflix has renewed the 'most confusing game show' ever which has completely divided opinion after a string of complaints.
Million Dollar Secret hit the streaming platform earlier this year and saw 12 strangers travel to a stunning mansion to battle it out for $1 million.
Hosted by Guardians Of The Galaxy star Peter Serafinowic, only one of the contestants is given the cash and they have to keep it a secret from everyone else to go home with the huge prize.
Some fans compared the show to BBC hit The Traitors as soon as the original trailer was released.
It has now been confirmed that Million Dollar Secret will air a second season, but viewers are split over the decision.
Netflix announced the renewal on X, formerly Twitter, and one watcher described it as 'the most confusing game show I have ever watched'.

Others penned: 'The real secret is how this show got renewed.';
'Dunno if it makes sense.'; 'Didn't work for me. Like they making the rules up as they went along.';
While others were thrilled about the return and seemed to have enjoyed the first season.
One fan commented: 'YESSSS!! This show is actually amazing! Netflix, where do I apply for a role??';
'Thank you. S1 was amazing.';
'Nice, it was fun, Peter was a great host and the right person won the money!!!'
When the first season was announced, fans immediately noticed the similarities to The Traitors.
One wrote: 'This is a reality competition series, similar to The Traitors, where contestants try to hide or discover who has a hidden million dollars.'
It has now been confirmed that Million Dollar Secret will see a second season but viewers are split
Another replied to their comment with: 'Urg! The Traitors is soooo good! The UK and Canadian one is the best out of all the franchises... I started watching this one, I believe there is an OG of this show where it is a hotel and I stopped watching midway. I completely forgot about it.'
A third added: 'A Traitors version of Do You Want To Be A Millionaire.'
'This is basically The Traitors on steroids, I'm here for it...,' a fourth chimed in.
Million Dollar Secret is available to stream on Netflix.

Love Island star Kyle Ashman speaks for the first time since being axed from the line-up after machete attack arrest
Kyle Ashman spoke out for the first time since being axed from the Love Island line-up on Wednesday. The dating show hopeful, 23, was involved in a machete attack in February when masked thugs stormed a wake and hacked at a dad with a blade. Kyle was arrested but released with no further action. He has now shared his side of the story, explaining his innocence and hopes to be able to have a chance on the show in the future. Speaking in a video shared to Instagram, Kyle said: 'I'm sure you have seen the news circulating. I'm innocent, there was no further action taken. 'I'm not a bad guy. I'm a normal guy from a normal place. An opportunity arose to find love, I grabbed it with both hands and it's been taken away from me. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Kyle added: 'I have seen the support pages and who knows, maybe I'll get a chance to go on Casa Amor, or as a bombshell, get back in and show you who I really am. 'Show you that I am not a bad guy... we'll see.' He captioned the clip: 'Just wanted to share my side.' ITV declined to comment when contacted by MailOnline. Kyle was one of two arrested by police but he was released with no further action. Following the reports, Kyle has confirmed he had no involvement in the incident, but has chosen to leave the ITV show regardless. He told MailOnline: 'I fully cooperated with this police investigation and made it very clear that I had no involvement in this incident. 'I am not a violent person and any suggestion otherwise is a mischaracterisation.' Meanwhile ITV added: 'For personal reasons, Kyle will not be entering the Love Island Villa as planned.' The Love Island line-up was announced on Tuesday so Kyle's departure will have plunged the show into chaos ahead of Monday's launch episode. The Sun have revealed they alerted bosses on Kyle being questioned in the attack but ITV said they were unaware of the incident and he was not flagged during the contestant checks. The incident on February 28 saw the victim, 38, nearly lose his arm after he was rushed to hospital for emergency treatment and kept it for around two weeks. Another mourner was reportedly glassed, one hit with a metal pole, and two people were run over by a car during the 15 minute attack at the The White Eagle Club in Stafford. Sources said the victim was attacked by three balaclava-clad thugs over an alleged £3,000 debt. He was injured by a blade that left him with a deep gash and has suffered tendon damage and is now unable to drive. Police confirmed yesterday that after the matter had been investigated Kyle and another individual were released with no further action only last month. A show source told the publication: 'ITV were entirely unaware of Kyle's past and, as he was not charged, it was not flagged as part of Love Island's stringent DBS checks. 'It's only right he can now return home to the UK to share his side of the story and therefore bosses took the decision that it was best for him not to enter the villa.' Staffordshire Police said on Monday: 'A 22-year-old man, from Stafford, was arrested on suspicion of wounding and affray. Another man, also 22 and from Stafford, was arrested on suspicion of affray. 'Both were questioned in custody and bailed with conditions while our enquiries continue.' Kyle, who works as a water operative, doesn't have a strong social media presence with just one Insta pic on his profile. Prior to his announced departure, Kyle said he was looking for 'someone that's fun, confident and just themselves'.

New Love Island host is former X Factor star who Simon Cowell made QUIT group to join rival band in brutal scenes
A NEW Love Island host is a former X Factor star who Simon Cowell made quit the group to join a rival band in brutal scenes. Just this week, Love Island Aftersun revealed two new TikTok stars are joining the ITV2 show. 5 5 5 One of which includes Ash Holme, who is best known as a content creator, but she also appeared on one of the nation's biggest talent shows in 2017. Ash had an unprecedented run on British singing extravaganza The X-Factor in 2017. She originally auditioned with her group NQ, who made it to Boot Camp before being dropped from the show. But the star pulled off a rare move when she ditched her band for a new group. The singer, who was 21 at the time, was kicked off the show but returned to join Simon Cowell 's imaginatively-named New Girl Band. NQ impressed the judges with their performance of Hey Mama before getting axed, but Simon said he wanted to bring Ash back. She looked slightly shell-shocked as she was led back on to the stage by host Dermot O'Leary after her group were cut from the show. After a quick rehearsal, Ash then performed with New Girl Band, before Simon asked her if she was willing to ditch NQ and join them instead. New Girl Band was put together by the media mogul just days earlier after all the girls were booted off the Boot Camp weeks earlier. He had once hoped they could be a female version of One Direction, but they didn't take off as he hoped. However, the group ended up getting knocked out at the Judges' Houses stage, with the contest being won by another Cowell outfit, Rak-Su. She has gained substantial popularity on TikTok since launching her account in 2020. Her rise to fame on the platform has been nothing short of phenomenal. The star's account @ash_holme has amassed an impressive 1.5million followers and a whopping 54million likes. Her ability to connect with viewers through her humour and relatable content has been a key factor in her rapid growth on the platform. Beyond her social media success, Ash has ventured into various aspects of the entertainment industry. Brand Partnerships Ash's influence extends to collaborations with global brands. She has partnered with massive companies including L'Oréal, Deliveroo and Amazon Prime. These partnerships underscore her marketability and appeal to a wide range of audiences. Impact and Influence Ash represents a new generation of entertainers who have leveraged their fame on social media platforms to build their careers. Her success on TikTok opened doors to traditional media opportunities, allowing her to expand her reach and showcase her talents to a broader audience. Her content, which often includes sketches and talking skits, resonates with viewers due to its relatability and humour. On Love Island Aftersun, Ash is set to join certified superfan Sam Thompson and former Islanders Amy Hart and Indiyah Polack. And another new face to the line-up is content creator Joe Baggs. 5 5
