Ton of Cash - Episode Guide

In these tough economic times, people will do almost anything to get their hands on some cold, hard cash. Starting on the beaches of Malibu, fourteen broke contestants will be competing for the chance to win $1,000,000. The catch is, they'll have to work together to haul it almost three hundred miles, from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. Each week they'll face grueling physical challenges that will push them to their limit. After every challenge, two contestants will be voted into a "Prove Your Worth" battle where the winner stays, and the loser goes home…with nothing. In the end, only one contestant will leave Vegas with the cash, and wipe out their debt. This is Ton of Cash.

After a grueling first week, the harsh realities of the game are beginning to set in, and it has become clear that, in order to survive, you need to show the team that you are here for one reason only: to move a ton of cash. With a financial advisor motivated by revenge, things don't go as planned. When the dust settles, someone needs to take the fall, but no one is willing to admit his or her mistakes. Tempers flare, accusations fly, and tears are shed when it comes time to narrow down the bottom three. Will vendetta rule? Or will the team band together and weed out the weak.

Twelve people remain on a quest to win big money, but some are concerned about a polarizing team member still being in the game. The team's next test requires them to haul the money through obstacles on a bridge in Downtown Los Angeles. Meanwhile, one contestant asserts her dominant personality and targets another for elimination causing an argument of epic proportions. Will her plan succeed, or will she put a target on her own back?

After three straight weeks under the radar, some of the girls are beginning to feel overlooked, and undervalued, and decide to take a stand. Facing their most grueling journey yet, the stakes have never been higher, nor has the drama. Will the weakest competitors find themselves fighting to remain in the game, or will personal politics rule the day and put the target on an unwitting player?

As the air thins, tension thickens when the cast heads deeper into the unforgiving wilderness. At 8000 feet high, no one can hear you scream, and with below freezing temperatures, any step could be your last. In what is surely the most treacherous challenge of the entire season, the financial advisor is put to the test, and risks a financial meltdown that could leave the team with nothing.

Down to nine competitors everyone celebrates a birthday in style. The night ends with the birthday boy in his birthday suit and one person plotting the demise of an alliance. At the challenge a sudden twist in game play forces alliances to be revealed to everyone. Tempers flare as sides become clear, while two competitors become closer than ever. Will bonds that have been made be enough to keep people safe or will poor performance finally punish the weak?

With Vegas just over 100 miles away, the competition is heating up. Friendship means nothing when there is this much cash on the line, and when an unexpected financial advisor is chosen, the two alliances are undermined as one member starts secretly playing both sides. This test is unlike any other, as contestants are responsible for their own burden, and it quickly becomes clear who is pulling their own weight. When it comes time to choose who is in the bottom three, one contestant's future could rest in a contract between his best friend, and his worst enemy.

Less than one hundred miles stand between the contestants and Vegas, but the terrain that lies ahead is the deadliest they have faced yet. With so few people left, everything is personal, and one cast member returns from the brink of elimination with a score to settle. Now that alliances are more sharply divided than ever, and the financial advisor has made deals with both sides, knowing whom to trust has never been more important. Navigating your way through this game is not easy, and with so much money on the line, relying on one's own moral compass can easily lead you astray.

With Las Vegas – and the grand prize – in sight, the stakes are higher than ever. The remaining six contestants are faced with an impending double elimination. Everything is literally on the line, as the day's challenge requires the money to be transported down a mountain via zip lines. Ostracized from the others, a two-person alliance pulls out all the stops to take down a rival duo and stay in the competition. The bottom line is: Whoever can survive this leg of the competition will find themselves in the finale.

The final four finally arrive in Vegas but when they get off the bus they are met with a shocking twist. All four must go head to head in a challenge that will send one of them home on the spot and the remaining three to a high roller suite at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. For these three, celebration quickly turns sour as camaraderie turns personal. Will hurt feelings affect performance at the final challenge? It's every person for themselves as only one can walk away with the money.
