Introduction

American Grit is an American reality television series that premiered on Fox on 14 April 2016.

Four teams of four regular Americans being lead by four military veterans compete in obstacles to see who has what it takes to have American Grit.

Outline

Sixteen competitors are split into teams of four. Led by the Cadre, four retired military members, the teams face the Evolution, which challenges their team skills. Team Noah wins the Evolution, an obstacle course where a log must be carried through holes in walls, carried over three miles, and placed in a locked hole. The other three teams pick Chris (Tee), Goldie (Rorke), and Jim (Nick). The three must hold a rope weighted with a sandbag. Chris drops the bag first, and rings out.
