Episodes
Don't Sleep!
Everyone risks a headache in a brain freeze challenge before trying to quickly thread needles and break balloons filled with cash.
Hard to Crack
Group chanting keeps morale high till contestants start smashing eggs and playing with nails. One shows off his front splits; another, his air squats.
Million Dollar Pose
When players try to identify animal noises, hallucinations kick in. They recover their wits long enough for a tricky coordination challenge.
Straight-Up Tired
Exhaustion claims two early victims. The rest test their reflexes with screwdrivers and water glasses while host James Davis giggles on the sidelines.
You Snooze, You Lose
Contestants get jiggy and show off their moves. A staring contest preps them for an alarm-clock-smacking challenge -- on a bed, of course.
The Big Cheese
Sleepy antics hit a high note when players must scream for their money. Still hoarse, they confront rattraps and bravely go for the cheese.
Never Trust a Southern Belle
After 24 hours of counting quarters, players test their coordination by diving for sand dollars, balancing coins and snapping lightning-fast selfies.
Final Shot at a Million Dollars
Contestants totter through a maze while balancing eggs on poles. What could go wrong? Also on the menu: table games with cards and quarters.

Saint-Pierre
After Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Inspector Donny "Fitz" Fitzpatrick digs too deeply into a local politician's nefarious activity, he is exiled to work in Saint-Pierre et Miquelon (the French Territory nestled in the Atlantic Ocean just off the coast of Newfoundland). Fitz's arrival disrupts the life of Deputy Chief Geneviève "Arch" Archambault, a Parisian transplant who is in Saint-Pierre for her own intriguing reasons. Saint-Pierre is a police procedural with French star Joséphine Jobert as Arch and Canadian star Allan Hawco as Fitz, and James Purefoy rounding out the stellar team. As if by fate, these two seasoned officers — with very different policing skills and approaches — are forced together to solve unique and exciting crimes. Although the islands seem like a quaint tourist destination, the idyllic façade conceals the worst kind of criminal activity which tend to wash up on its beautiful shores. At first at odds and suspicious of each other, Arch and Fitz soon discover that they are better together... a veritable crime-fighting force.
