100 contestants compete in physical and unique challenges where the goal is not to finish first, but to not finish last. After each challenge, the player who came in last will be eliminated. After 40 games, the last person standing will walk away with $1,000,000. Each episode has 4 solo games and one team game. In the event of a team game, the team who fails to win any heat or round or comes last will all be eliminated. If there are multiple heats, the teams will be split into two or more smaller teams.
