The reality-based teen actor search Starstruck has the makings of the basic mediocre reality show contest: unknown contestants, insulting judges, endless challenges, and all the hype and drama on TV. Nevertheless, unoriginal as it may be, the fame and phenomena it came with is somewhat unbelievable.

There will be two winners, a male survivor and a female survivor, at the end of every season. The winners are determined by the votes gathered from the public and the StarStruck Council. However in season 3, from the two ultimate survivors, there will be a Sole Survivor, which will earn him or her an extra prize.
