Vh1 Money Hungry

For the average individual the desire to lose weight is not enough motivation to make it happen. But what if the motivation to stay trim was $10,000 of your very own hard earned cash?

That's exactly what VH1's new series "Money Hungry" will test, as 12 pairs of contestants will compete against each other to see which team can resist temptation and drop the most weight.

Hosted by Dan Cortese, each team on "Money Hungry" will have to put up an entry fee of $10,000 of their own money to begin the competition. In a winner takes all fashion, the couple who sheds the most combined weight will walk away with $100,000.
