12 pairs of overweight people each throw down $10,000 of their own money in a no-holes-barred weight loss competition. The pair that sheds the most weight combined walks away with the $100,000 pot.
Several teams feel personally betrayed by last week's vote, which leads to an alliance ("The Orphanage"). Abuse of power leads to a counter alliance ("The Family") whose objective is to send every Orphan packing!
The 8 remaining teams hit the half-way point in the competition. Some are getting a little too comfortable, relying more on alliances instead of weight.
With the $100,000 grand prize in sight (literally), the final four teams battle it out in the most exciting challenge yet. It comes down to a photo finish and the outcome changes everyone's game plan.
After 10 weeks of grueling challenges and workouts, the final three teams face off for the $100,000 grand prize. Who will achieve the highest percentage of weight loss? Only time and the scale will tell.
