Executive producer Thom Beers ("Deadliest Catch," "Ice Road Truckers") created this suspenseful "extreme competition" series in which 12 people leave their comfortably mundane work to tackle some of the most dangerous and challenging jobs on Earth, ranging from oil drilling to logging to driving icy roads. At the end of each episode, their new boss and colleagues size up their performance and decide who is going to be sent home, with the ejected person's salary going into a prize pot. At game's end, the big winner takes home some well-earned cash. Wikipedia
