Host Laila Ali[4] challenges twelve out-of-shape and overweight students from rival high schools to change their bodies, their nutrition, and their attitudes.

The rules changed at the end of the competition, as the grand prize was awarded for "biggest overall transformation".

The school that wins the challenge gets a reward, such as a yacht ride or being served dinner by the other team.

The losing team gets "punishment", like husking corn or cleaning the bleachers after a high school football game.

Although Bronson lost the most weight and became the most fit, Mike won the grand prize for his change in attitude and self-esteem.
