According to the official CBS website, the show aims to include "competitors who consider the calluses on their hands a badge of honor will be tested for their strength, endurance, life skills and, most importantly, mental toughness in challenges that take place at real-world job sites." And in seasons past, viewers have been treated to exactly that.
