Inspired by executive producer and host Phil Keoghan's working-class family, "Tough as Nails" is about competitors who consider the calluses on their hands a badge of honor. They are tested for their strength, endurance, agility and mental toughness in challenges that take place in the real world. One by one, they are eliminated until the winner is named. The series proves that toughness comes in all shapes and sizes, and it celebrates Americans who don't think twice about working long hard hours and getting their hands dirty to keep their country running.

The final five competitors battle to be crowned the champion of TOUGH AS NAILS and win the $200,000 prize! Plus, the finalists get a much-needed boost when their loved ones cheer them on.

Tensions run high during the team challenge when one crew has issues with communication while building a large fence on a farm.

The two crews each look for an important win in the team competition when tasked with packing a moving van, and competitors look to avoid elimination during the individual competition by collecting and loading trash into a moving garbage truck.
