Summary
Highlights
Grant and Ashley, ex-partners due to Grant's public infidelity, are brought to the wilderness for 30 days with a chance to win $250,000. The twist is revealed: Grant is joined by five of his ex-girlfriends. The women immediately gossip about Grant, and Ashley vows revenge.
Jimmy reveals a secret to Grant: every five days, he can eliminate one ex. Simultaneously, the five ex-girlfriends discover their secret power: if any of them reach the end, they can choose to steal the entire prize money from Grant. The exes devise a plan to ensure Ashley, who feels most wronged, reaches the end to take the money.
On Day 5, Grant must make his first elimination. He chooses Amy, citing her negative 'cheater' comment as the reason. The remaining girls solidify their plan to manipulate Grant, using Ashley's 'fake crying' to gain his sympathy and ensure she remains in the game to execute their ultimate revenge.
Alyssa, struggling with the harsh conditions, decides to leave the challenge voluntarily. Following this, Grant attempts to improve the remaining girls' experience by building a swing set and offering 'princess treatment,' seemingly bringing them together. However, the girls remain focused on their plan to take the money.
On Day 10, Grant has to pick one ex to spend a night in a luxury cabin. He chooses Ashley, and for a moment, it seems their relationship might mend. However, a flashback to Grant's song, originally written for Ashley but played for another girl, reignites Ashley's anger, leading to renewed tension between them.
To further their plan, the girls, especially Julie and Abi, act aggressively towards Grant, hoping to make Ashley seem like the more reasonable choice to keep. Grant eliminates Julie on Day 15, confirming the girls' strategy is working. Julie reiterates her vow to steal Grant's money if she were to make it to the end.
With only two girls left, Abi pressures Ashley to reconcile with Grant, specifically to say they are 'equally imperfect,' to secure her spot. Ashley struggles with this statement, finding it difficult to forgive Grant. Her reluctance almost leads Grant to eliminate her, but Abi encourages her to push through for the plan.
On Day 20, instead of an elimination, Grant chooses a challenge that adds $50,000 to the prize pool. The team successfully completes a crossbow challenge, winning the additional money and letters from home. This moment of teamwork and emotional connection gives Grant hope for a genuine reconciliation.
Ashley, still struggling with forgiveness, accidentally implies she will steal Grant's money. Fearing Grant will leave, Abi reveals their plan to him, promising to split the money. Grant, to ensure her loyalty, has Abi swear on a Bible. Abi decides to put herself first, breaking her alliance with Ashley.
On Day 25, Grant eliminates Ashley, who still refuses to acknowledge 'equal imperfection.' Jimmy then reveals the ex-girlfriends' secret to Grant and gives Abi the hammer, allowing her to smash Grant's heart and steal the entire $300,000. Abi, citing Grant's manipulation and Ashley's suffering, but also putting herself first, smashes Grant's heart, taking the prize money.
