Interesting concept.

Another idea I think might actually work for object shows is a twist that Survivor used in one of their most recent seasons: Edge of Extinction.

Here’s how it is explained on the Survivor wiki:

"Once voted out, the condemned castaway leaves Tribal Council believing that they are eliminated. However, as they walk further away, they will find a detour: one path offers the castaway the option to leave the game for good, while the other offers the opportunity to go to the Edge of Extinction. If the player chooses to continue playing, they must take the torch perched on the sign leading to the boat which will send them to the Edge of Extinction. Uncertain that they will be coming back at all, castaways will have to endure the extended isolation for as long as possible until the per-determined re-entry point. If at any point a castaway can no longer handle the conditions, they may choose to withdraw by raising a white flag from a ship's mast after which a boat will pick them up, eliminating them from the game. Food rations are provided daily, but the condemned castaways would have to reach the far side of the island to get them. Additionally, advantages may be found to help castaways on the island re-enter the game, or to help castaways still remaining.

The first re-entry point takes place upon the merging of the tribes. The castaways remaining on the Edge of Extinction at that point would compete in a re-entry duel, with the winner re-entering the game to join the merged tribe. The castaways who lose the duel are then afforded another decision to either leave the game or to go back to the Edge of Extinction and await another chance to re-enter the game. Those who choose to go back become part of the jury as long as they are still on the Edge of Extinction.

The second re-entry point takes place at the final six, after which all of the remaining inhabitants are eliminated from the game and become permanent members of the jury, regardless of placement."

Of course, most object show competitions likely won’t have a jury, so if we cut that part out, bam! Perfect twist for an object show!
