Nine Americans with wildly different backgrounds and beliefs participate in a social experiment designed to see if they can put their differences aside and work together to win a life-changing pile of cash. Will they unite or tear each other apart?
After a tumultuous start and the arrival of an interloper, the original group vows to stick together to the end. But the fresh blood adds fuel to an already smouldering fire, causing an epic fight to erupt on the raft between two early allies.
Reeling from a toxic fight and an unexpected departure of one of their own, the group vows once again to stick together to the end. Can they put their troubles behind them and add $45,000 to their bounty, or will they continue to torpedo their own?
The raft is a tinderbox, and newcomer Jimmy is ready to light a match and watch it burn. But a chance to get naked and win more cash helps cool things off -- until a shocking allegation emerges, propelling the raft directly into the path of a storm.
After last night's elimination, the raft is in a state of shock. Smelling blood in the water, Jimmy capitalizes on an opportunity to take over the raft. But a misstep puts him in the crosshairs -- and he breaks bro-code out of desperation to save himself.
Tensions run high as CJ struggles to recover from his blow-up with Tara, who is now dead set on throwing him overboard. Looking to overthrow the status quo, Jimmy continues to play with fire -- once again, he sets the raft ablaze.
The latest departure has the participants questioning everything. Is anyone safe? Who can be trusted? The group makes a pact again to stay together to the end -- LOL-- then Riley, an enticing new swap, comes aboard, putting their alliance to the test.
Everything the participants thought they knew about the experiment changed. Those who felt they were on solid ground are now treading lightly -- no one's safe as they head to their first elimination. Contestants' cleverly hidden dark sides are revealed.
The fate of the experiment and all of the money hangs in the balance.
