Episode Descriptions & Premiere Dates:

Episode 1 (April 10): Long Beach Lifeguards

This is no Hollywood movie. The Long Beach, California Lifeguards are the real deal. To earn a spot on this elite rescue team, candidates must prove they have the physical and mental fortitude to endure the ocean, and make quick, lifesaving decisions. Nearly 100 applicants test their abilities swimming and running, as well as a high-pressure interview, to prove they have what it takes to be a Long Beach Lifeguard.

Episode 2 (April 17): Texas Tech Co-Ed Cheer

Texas Tech University Co-Ed Cheer has become one of the nation's top cheerleading programs, and to make the squad you must be among the most elite. Whether you're a three-year returner or an incoming freshman, everyone must try out to earn their spot. Hopefuls must overcome fears, doubt, and past mistakes to prove to legendary coach, Bruce Bills, they can perform up to Texas Tech Cheer standards.

Episode 3 (April 24): Monster Jam

Sunday! Sunday! Sunday! Four drivers strap in behind the wheel of a 1,500 horsepower, six-ton Monster Truck and go full throttle towards their dream of becoming a Monster Jam driver.

They've got one shot to master these machines, when trucks fly.

Episode 4 (May 1): Texas Smoke Softball

The Texas Smoke - owned by former MLB star Brandon Phillips - are the latest team in the upstart Women's Pro Fastpitch softball league.

Episode 5 (May 8): Mark Morris Dance Group

Earning a company position in the Mark Morris Dance Group is a career defining moment for any dancer. Hundreds of performers arrive in NYC to audition for this highly coveted role.

Episode 6 (May 15): USA Ultimate

In the international sport of Ultimate, no country has been more dominant than Team USA at the U-24 level.

See who survives the cut as coaches make final roster decisions on who will represent the U.S. and help bring home yet another gold medal.

The top curlers in the U.S. compete in the Mixed Doubles Nationals.
