It has everything needed for an incredible season. Having been through the intensity of the challenges myself, I know that the terrain and the spirit of La R\u00e9union are going to push our Season 12 contestants to their absolute limits while providing a backdrop that is nothing short of cinematic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With the location officially set, the countdown to the new season is in full swing. While auditions have closed, the quest for the next million-rand champion is just beginning.<\/p>\n<p>Tropika Island Of Treasure Season 12 is set to debut on S3 later this year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div
