Synopsis: Under One Roof is a new family-based reality series that gives five families the opportunity to prove to themselves that life would be simpler and more fulfilling and that they would all get along better, if only they didn’t have the complications and distractions of every day life.

The families, selected from thousands of applicants, are flown to a remote island in Fiji to compete for the deed to a Polynesian beach home.

Hosted by Rob Nelson ("The Full Nelson"), Under One Roof whisks the families away to a verdant, secluded Fijian island where they vie with one another to win a luxurious beach-front home.

As the families live together and work together under one roof, they also compete for the deed to the house. In every episode, the families participate in both Property Quest and Family Face Off competitions, which are inspired by traditional Fijian cultural activities.

In the Family Face Off, winners choose between an advantage item, which may or may not help them in the next series of challenges, or a special prize, which they can enjoy back home. In the Property Quest, winners are awarded ribbons that ultimately determine who gets the deed to the house.

At the end of every other episode, the family with the fewest ribbons has to leave the island forever. In the final episode, the remaining two families compete head-to-head in the final quest for the deed to the house.

In order to win, each family must put aside domestic differences and come together as a team. They will need to hone their communication skills and work seamlessly as a unit. They must rely on each member’s strengths to prevail over their real competition who want the house as much as they do.

The Families:

	The Distels from Huntington Beach, California have bribed their teenagers to come on this adventure for "one last hurrah" before they leave the house to become adults.
	The Hatmakers from a small town near Galveston, Texas are recovering from the loss of their father and husband who was killed in an accident a year ago. Lifelong friend, Mark Anderson, rounds out their team.
	The McRaes from Orlando, Florida, close-knit, God-fearing and completely devoted to each other. Having never owned a home, winning this would be the realization of a life-long dream.
	The Paganis from Henderson, Nevada are putting their lives back together after the family business collapsed and the parents separated.
	The Skofields from Las Vegas, Nevada a free-thinking, liberal "new-age hippies."

"Under One Roof" is hosted by Rob Nelson.
