Opposite Worlds is an American reality game show that originally aired on the cable channel Syfy. The format of the show was based on the successful Chilean series Mundos Opuestos which aired from 2012 to 2013 on the national free-to-air channel Canal 13. The series revolved around a group of strangers divided into two teams, and made to live in a house divided by "future" and "past" themes. The teams competed in weekly challenges to determine where they would live. One contestant, known as the Decider, selected two contestants to compete in a challenge, with the loser being eliminated from the game. The winner of the series, determined after six weeks, won a $100,000 prize. The series was hosted by Luke Tipple. The show premiered on January 21, 2014 and aired on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, with the latter being a live elimination episode. The show was cancelled after one season.{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/luketipple/status/572274522407092224|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221213212235/https://twitter.com/luketipple/status/572274522407092224|url-status=dead|archive-date=December 13, 2022|title=@DeepiSamra nah, the network cancelled it.

Format
Opposite Worlds is a game show in which a group of contestants live in isolation from the outside world in a custom built "house", constantly under video surveillance. The house is divided by a "future" (luxurious Space Age) and "past" (primitive Stone Age) theme, with a glass wall dividing the two areas.{{cite web|url=http://www.syfy.com/oppositeworlds/faq |title=Opposite Worlds FAQ - Opposite Worlds - FAQ |publisher=syfy.com |access-date=2014-01-16}} The contestants are divided into two teams, and participate in a weekly "Worldly Challenge" to determine which area the teams will stay; the winning team is given the option to live in the future or the past.{{cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=206535602870254&set=a.182941905229624.1073741828.179048675618947&type=1&theater|title=Log In or Sign Up to View|website=www.facebook.com}} The two teams later select one of their own to be "protected" for the week, and thus are not able to be eliminated that week. Viewers then vote for one of the two protected contestants to become the "Decider", who then select one player from each team to face off in "The Duel of Destiny".{{cite web|url=http://www.syfy.com/oppositeworlds/about |title=About - Opposite Worlds - Syfy |publisher=syfy.com |access-date=2014-01-16}} The loser of the duel is eliminated from the competition.[http://www.tv.com/news/what-to-watch-tonight-justified-the-mindy-project-and-the-series-premiere-of-syfys-opposite-worlds-139017882945/ What to Watch Tonight: Justified, The Mindy Project, and the Series Premiere of Syfy's Opposite Worlds - TV.com] Though the show is hosted by Luke Tipple, the house also features an electronic voice, Athena, who communicates with those in the "future" area of the house.
While the series was airing, it featured a "Twitter Popularity Index" (TPI), which was used to determine the popularity of each contestant; the most popular contestant received a reward, while the least popular received a punishment.
