In the first season, each week the couple that won immunity was offered a cash payment to give it up. The Jacobis accepted $10,000 and were voted off in week 1. The Moutras rejected $15,000 in week 2, leading to the Bajwas' elimination. The Holmeses turned down $20,000 in week 3, and the Woodwards were voted off. In week 5, the Holmeses won immunity but received no money offer; instead they chose which couple would join them in the final two. They voted off the Freises. Crystal and Johnnie Moutra won the grand prize of $465,000 on the April 6, 2008 show.
