More about Tough as Nails season 5
Tough as Nails season 5 is being hosted by Phil Keoghan. In an interview with EW, he explained that they chose Canada’s street capital as their place of shoot because there are a lot of top workers in the area.
“The competition was very, very tight all season. We also get to ignite some explosives in a big quarry. We have a payback episode where we used all the skills of our cast to give back and to do something for other people,” he said.
The 12 contestants will perform many challenges every week to prevent themselves from elimination. These include The Gauntlet, repairing whole ships, and “Pick-up of fruit”, collecting as many fruits as possible in a limited amount of time.
Tough as Nails will air on CBS every Friday and Sunday at 8 pm ET. Fans can also watch the show on Paramount+ and the network’s website.
