Premise[]

Two teams of two players (one man & one woman) and two "Hardbodies" competed against each other in a series of beach-oriented events. These included the "Hot Air Climb", "Bungee Basketball", "King of the Raft", "Beach Bout", and, at the end of the show, "Crash and Burn".

In each event, the teams earned points based on how successful they were in the events. The team with the most points at the end of the competition won prizes and moved on in the tournament. At the end of the season, the winners of the tournament won a grand prize of $10,000 in cash plus a Hawaiian vacation.
