Hosted by Janelle James, "The Final Straw" is a larger-than-life competition series where four teams of contestants compete in an epic battle against gravity and physics as they attempt to remove items from enjoyably themed stacks in the hopes of facing off against The Mega Stack for a chance to win the grand prize of $250,000. In round one, best friends-turned-business partners take on not only each other but roommates when they encounter a ‘50s diner-themed stack. In round two, siblings and a pair of cyclers confront a kids room-themed stack and hope the stack doesn't fall. The winners from each round face off on the medieval stack to see who will get the chance to win the grand prize. James is also joined onstage by the delightfully mischievous Tipsy the Panda, who is hell-bent on the destruction of the stacks

In round one, two lovebirds battle it out against a mother-daughter duo on the supermarket stack. In round two, a married couple, who is the life of the party, take on a tightknit pair of twins on the granny's attic stack. The winners from each round face off against the national parks stack to earn a shot at The Mega Stack and a chance to win the grand prize of $250,000.
