We saw the celebrities parachuting into the Australian rainforest. Laila, the reality TV star, screamed as her boot sank into mud. Marcus, the retired footballer, tried to assert alpha dominance over a confused production assistant. Dr. Priya, the astrophysicist turned TikTok guru, calmly identified which spiders were lethal.

The file played beautifully—for the first eleven minutes.

Viewers assumed it was a viral marketing stunt. #JungleGate trended for seven hours.
