Twelve hard-working Americans take on navigating a wheel barrow and testing their brick-laying skills to win the opportunity to choose their teams

The TOUGH AS NAILS crew takes on three challenges: they get down and dirty in their first team competition as they work to complete the missing part of a railroad track; they “punch in” for their initial individual test, and the last two standing face off in a railroad overtime challenge

The crew competes in a series of challenges at a junkyard where they must take apart a car and retrieve auto parts; the last two standing need all the strength they can spare in an overtime challenge removing tires from the rims.

The final five competitors battle to be crowned the champion and win the $200,000 prize; the finalists get a much-needed boost when their loved ones cheer them on.

Competitors take on challenges at a firefighter training facility, where they must clear a 60-foot-long section of brush, save a victim from a simulated disaster zone and extinguish a fire before repelling from a four-story building.

Working-class Americans are tested in the real world.
