Rivers rose and flooding worsened Sunday across the sodden U.S. South and Midwest, threatening communities already badly damaged by days of heavy rain and wind that killed at least 18 people.

Even as the rain moved out of some of the hardest hit areas in Arkansas, Tennessee and Kentucky, water levels crept up in some communities, swirling into homes and businesses and submerging roads.

In Frankfort, Kentucky, rescue crews checking up on residents in the state capital traversed inundated streets in inflatable boats. Workers erected sandbag ramparts to protect homes and businesses and turned off utilities as the swollen Kentucky River kept rising.

Escape the estate. Win the fortune.

Thats the tagline on the poster for Hulus newest reality competition series, Got to Get Out.

Twenty people including reality TV legends like Omarosa (The Apprentice), Spencer Pratt (The Hills), Val Chmerkovskiy (Dancing with the Stars) and more are locked in a house with a money clock ticking up to 1 million. If the money clock makes it to 1 million, all 20 contestants will split the prize money equally.

However, theres a twist.

Over the course of these 10 days, players will get what are called exit strategies, and these are opportunities to escape the compound and basically make out with whatever amount of money is on the money clock whether thats 10,000, 500,000, 800,000. Obviously, as the clock keeps ticking, the pockets are higher and higher, said host Simu Liu (ShangChi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Barbie).

Got to Get Out premieres Friday, April 11 on Hulu.
