Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is
Most people who have trouble losing weight suffer from a lack of motivation. Now twelve overweight teams enter a weight loss competition like no other. Their motivation is money, their OWN money. Each team must pay an entrance fee of $10,000! If they lose they leave with nothing, but if they win by losing the greatest combined percentage of weight loss, they will walk away with $100,000! The teams are provided with a gym, a trainer and all the tools to succeed, but how hard they work is entirely up to them. After indulging in one final feast before their new diet begins, one contestant's hilarious drunken antics entertain everyone except his partner who fears they are wasting their $10,000 and might get eliminated the very first week of competition. Which teams will be able to make a drastic lifestyle change and lose enough weight to stay in the game?

All's Fair In Love And Weight Loss
Things are about to change in the MONEY HUNGRY house. For their first challenge, the out-of-shape teams compete in a test of strength and endurance by pushing an enormous ball up a 1000 ft. incline. The teams learn that whichever team wins a challenge is then immune from that week's elimination. But the team who comes in last at the challenge will automatically be on the chopping block at elimination and that team must face off against another team determined by a house vote! Teams begin plotting and scheming to control the vote, but a budding romance might turn it all upside down. With their $10,000 entrance fee on the line, there's no more playing nice.

Welcome To The Family
The mood has changed since the house vote last week. No longer is it one big happy family. In fact, a handful of teams are taking the vote personally and feel betrayed. This leads to the formation of "The Orphanage" -- an alliance with a deep desire for revenge on team that betrayed them. At the challenge - "Chubby Chasers" - the teams must race around a track, and pick off the other teams in front of them. The catch is, they are tethered to each other. Once again, the winning team is given immunity and the losing team is at risk of elimination. The Orphanage tries to bully the rest of house into voting for the team that betrayed them. But over-bullying and abuse of power leads to the formation of a counter alliance - "The Family" -- who's main objective is one thing; to send every Orphan packing.

Bust A Move
With 9 teams left, a new alliance gains majority control of the house vote. The teams in the minority alliance are at a disadvantage when they find out this week's swimming challenge has a twist: teams aren't playing for themselves, they are supposed to target other teams and trying to oust them from the challenge! The first team ousted loses and is automatically as risk of elimination, and the last team remaining wins. It's one alliance vs. the other as teams work together to target their enemies. Back at the house the minority alliance must desperately scramble to influence votes. Tempers flare and with $10,000 of their own money at stake, a fight breaks out between the two strongest teams. One might not even make it to the weigh-in.

The Way The Cookie Crumbles
This week the 8 remaining Money Hungry teams hit the half-way point in the competition. Some are getting a little too comfortable and relying more on their alliances instead of weight loss to get themselves further in the game, but not for long because this week there is no house vote! Only the winners of the challenge and the team they select will be safe at elimination. Everyone else must face the scale and are at risk of going home. With $10,000 of their own money on the line, and a grand prize of $100,000 up for grabs, the lobbying for immunity is intense. But the Big Heavies can only save one team and it's one of the most stressful decisions yet.

The Puzzle Master
Seven teams remain in the Money Hungry house. Several teams are focused on losing weight, but some weaker teams believe the only way they will be able to win the competition is through scheming and manipulation. Secret deals are made between members of both alliances. The winners of the challenge receive immunity from this week's elimination, but the loser must face off on the scale against whichever team receives the most house votes. With alliances in flux, the question is how will the vote go down and can anyone be trusted?
