Road Rules: All Stars is the first season of the MTV reality game show, The Challenge. Unlike later seasons the show followed alumni of The Real World as they went on a typical Road Rules-type adventure around the United States in a non-competitive format. It is the only season without the term Challenge in its title. The season premiered on June 1st, 1998.
Welcome to the first Real World / Road Rules Challenge. Some people claim that this isn't a real challenge, but we are taking 5 Real Worlders and throwing them in Road Rules missions, so I'm gonna count that as a Real World / Road Rules Challenge. We start off with- Eric from Real World New York riding a train, he claims that he had to think really hard to do another MTV show, but excited for the trip. On the way, the train will stop at separate stations and pick up the remaining 4 castmates. Next stop, we pick up- Jon from Real World Los Angeles They catch up on old times, Jon says he's still trying to get a Country record deal, while Eric shows off that he doesn't even sing and he received a record deal. Next stop, we see- Rachel from Real World San Francisco
We open with the cast arriving in New Zealand. Rachel describes the ordeal with her accident and explains that she should be normal when the metal rods are taken out of her leg. In New Zealand they receive a temporary winnie, where they find their next clue. They are told to arrive at a farm the following day at 9am. They all go out and party that night, Sean & Rachel are seen going into a peep show. The following morning, the cast gets ready. Cynthia wonders why Rachel is getting dressed the way she is when they know they're going to a farm. At breakfast, Sean and Jon try to hurry the group as they gab over breakfast. They end up arriving at the farm over a hour late. They find out the first part of their mission will be sheep shearing. The guys run around a pin trying to get the sheep into the barn. In the barn, each of them have to shear a sheep clean. At lunch, Sean continues to flirt with
While traveling back from the last mission, they receive a clue from Puck. He says that the current opening song for the show sucks, and the group must write a new one. Back at the hotel, Sean, Cynthia, Rachel, & Jon all get to work on the song. Eric had denied participating due to copyright with his career and if he would be getting a piece of the pie the song makes. Within a hour, the four remaining castmates get a song down and actually turns out pretty good. They receive a clue to travel north, when they arrive, they find out that they'll be 'Zorbing'. Zorbing consists of climbing into a big plastic/nylon ball and rolling down a hill. They each will be going down as pairs and the overall winner will win $150. Rachel went first against Eric and won. Sean went second against Cynthia and lost. Jon went third against Rachel and lost. On the way down,
The group receives its next clue that says ""Their world is gonna be turned upside down"". When they arrive at the mission site they notice vans labeled for the best adventures of Urban Rap Jumping. They get out of the winnie to notice a guy porpelling off a side of a building. But unlike normal propelling, in Urban Rap Jumping, the propellers face the ground as they descend. They find out that each of them will have to propel themselves off a 20 stories building. They get to the top of the building and fear already starts to kick in. Sean goes first and goes down like a champ. Eric goes next and does some wild jumps on his way down. Rachel and Jon follow, Cynthia goes last and has the most fear but makes it through and proud to be on the ground. When they get back to the winnie, they find another clue that says they're heading to LA. Since most ex-Real Worlders live in LA, they call up Beth from the Los Angeles season to stay with her
It's the following day and Cynthia has cooled off and decided since the trip is almost over, she will stay. They arrive at their next mission site, which is a improv theater called 'The Groundlings'. They find out that they will be spending the day learning the art of improv and then will have to perform a show that night to a sold-out crowd. They do many exercizes through out the day that help them understand the art of improv. By 5:30, the teacher believes they have the basics down and they are ready for the show at 8. At showtime, they each start getting nervous to perform in front of a crowd. Throughout the show they do many skits, but they end with a surprise one. ""The REAL Real World"". Each of the castmates will have to play one of their roommates from their season picked by the audience in a whole new Real World show. Eric is given Kevin, Jon is given Dominic, Rachel is given Puck
Real World/Road Rules Challenge is the 2nd season of the MTV reality game show, The Challenge. The season is directly subsequent to Road Rules: All Stars. The season marked the first time in which "Real World/Road Rules Challenge" would be used as the show's main title. In addition, it's one of two seasons absent of a subtitle, a trend that wouldn't truly emerge until the show's 4th season. It is the first six-on-six Challenge in the series. The teams traveled via tour bus and RV starting in San Francisco, ending in Universal City, California, competing in different individual challenges. The winning team had the right to travel in a tour bus, while the losing team had to travel in an RV. Each time a team won an individual challenge, they won the right to spend time in a "money machine". The "money machine", set up outside Universal Studios Hollywood in Universal City, California was a huge wind chamber that contained up to $150,000. Whatever the casts could keep on them, they were guaranteed to keep. This season also featured an additional challenge where the two teams competed over possession of a teddy bear. Whichever team had the teddy bear in their possession at an unknown, predetermined point in the challenge, would win the additional challenge.
We start off with six ex-Real Worlders and six ex-Road Rulers being led into a baseball stadium blindfolded. We then see a limo being followed by a armored truck. Inside the limo is this year's Mr. Big - David from the Real World Los Angeles. We are introduced to our teams- Real World Beth from Real World Los Angeles Neil from Real World London Jason from Real World Boston Montana from Real World Boston Janet from Real World Seattle Nathan from Real World Seattle Road Rules Mark from Road Rules 1 Kayle from Road Rules Islands Kefla from Road Rules Australia Anne from Road Rules Northern Trail Roni from Road Rules Northern Trail Noah from Road Rules Northern Trail From his limo, David is patched over the PA system in the stadium. He tells the players that they can take off their blindfolds and they have to look for the gold dollar. A helecopter flys over with a bag and drops thousands of fake money with David's picture on it.
They arrive in Mammouth Lakes CA, where their next mission will take place. In their campsite, they find a newspaper that has a article about their mission. It says that casts of the Real World and Road Rules will take part in the yearly Frontier Day's Bed Race. There is talks about whether Beth should stay in the challenge or not. Beth wants the cash so she is gonna stay, but Neil says she better work if she wants a piece of the cash. The Real World team is starting to get close to their rundown RV which they have now named ""Bessie"". So, they take it to a gas station and they buy lots of spray paint and both teams leave their marks on the RV. They arrive at the mission site, they are told they will be taking part in a Bed Race. Each team must dcorate a bed as wild as possible and then it will be placed on wheels and they will have to race it down a hill. The team with the best of out 3 races will win a minute in the Money Chamber and the luxory bus.
They are heading to the Hollywood YMCA where both teams know they have to work, but not sure on what they'll be doing. The Real World team is tired of losing and Neil is wondering why he even decided to do this challenge. They arrive at the YMCA, and the ladies and men are seperated in different locker rooms. They are given basketball jerseys to change into. The teams walk out on a basketball court where Kobe Bryant and Reggie Miller are playing. The only ones that recognize them are Kefla, Roni, and Nathan. Since Road Rules has ""Japenese Pacers"" they get to play against Kobe and Reggie in a basketball match. Their special referree is Syrus from Real World Boston. For each time Road Rules scores a basket, they receive $20. But for each time Kobe or Reggie score a basket, $10 of Road Rules money goes to them. Real World has ""Snoop Doggy Doggs"" where they have to bathe Kobe Bryant's dogs.
We start back with Janet still freaking out at the top. Her hands have formed into fists and they won't open. The Bungee Master tells her that she is having some sort fo spasms. She still wants to jump but he tells her to go back down, rest alittle, and she can come back up. Back on the boat, Kefla and Roni start freaking out that it isn't fair that Janet got to come back down. The Bungee Master finally stops all the fighting by telling them that it wasn't her choice to come back down, it was his. Kayle goes up and gets no rings. Nathan tells Beth and Montana that if Anne gets any rings they're gonna have to jump and they refuse. Anne jumps and gets one ring giving Road Rules a one ring lead. Janet finally recovers and jumps, she doesn't get a ring, but that doesn't matter to the team who is happy that she faced her fear. The pressure has come down to Beth and Montana, Montana doesn't want to jump cause it's her worst fear and Beth doesn't want to do a one legged jump.
After the Talent Show, Real World is on Cloud 9 cause they finally have won a mission. Backstage they receive their next clue - ""Left, Left, Left, Right, Left. I don't know if it's been said, this mission can make you dead. Sound off, Real World, Sound off, Road Rules, Sound Off, Let's Fight!"" Nathan is excited cause he knows it has something to do with the Military which he is actively involved in. The girls seem to be upset cause they know it'll involve physical strength. They are told they need to be at Camp Pendelton in Southern California by 6pm the following day. Since it's their final night in Vegas, they decide to hit the town again. Flirtation continues between Montana and Noah. The following morning, Roni looks for Noah, but can't seem to find him. Nathan tells her to look in the girls room and see if Montanas there.
We start right back in at the Playboy Mansion. The Playboy Bunny tells them to leave their stuff on the front lawn cause she's gonna take them on a tour of the property. They see exotic birds, monkeys, and other animals. She takes them by the famous pool and grotto, she also tells them that they will be spending the night in the game room where there are seperate beds bracnhed out of the main room. They arrive in the room to find there are special Hef P.J.s each with their name on it for each of the castmates. The Playboy Bunny invites them all out to the pool where all the guys socialize with the Bunnies while the girls sit back and talk trash. The man himself - Hugh Hefner comes out and welcomes them all to the Mansion. Noah finds a playmate that he could talk to and Montana gets jealous, she finds them alone and insults the both of them which extremely pisses off the playmate. She takes off to try and find Montana and confront her, but Noah holds her back.
Real World/Road Rules Challenge 2000 is the 3rd season of the MTV reality game show, The Challenge. The season is directly subsequent to Real World/Road Rules Challenge the season. Real World/Road Rules Challenge 2000 is the second six-on-six The Challenge in the series. The teams traveled via tour bus starting in Las Vegas, Nevada then moving to the eastern U.S., ending in Miami, Florida after competing in different individual challenges. Each time a team won an individual challenge, they won $10,000. After each mission won, the winning team would invest those 10K in the product of their choice through E-Trade. At the end, the winning team also won any money won in the stock market. The last mission would be for the right to keep the money collected in the pot, an additional cash prize and a car. This season also featured an additional challenge where the two teams had to give up smoking for the duration of filming. If any cast member on either team were caught smoking, their cast would lose the additional challenge.
Welcome to the Real World / Road Rules Challenge 2000, we start off with helicopters arriving with cast members blindfolded. They are dropped off atop a parking garage in Vegas. When all have arrived, they take off their blindfolds and meet their teammates. On the Real World Team- Amaya from Real World Hawaii Kat from Real World London Heather from Real World New York David from Real World Seattle Teck from Real World Hawaii Mike from Real World Miami On the Road Rules Team- Holly from Road Rules Latin America Piggy from Road Rules Australia Veronica from Road Rules Semester at Sea Yes from Road Rules Semester at Sea Dan from Road Rules Northern Trail Carlos from Road Rules 1 They are met by this season's Ms. Big- Gladys from Road Rules Latin America She then shows them that they're next to the tallest tower in North America, the Stratosphere. Their mission? To bungee off a platform extended off the tower.
To get thier next clue they went to Nike Town in Vegas. They are greeted by Roy Jones Jr.(professional boxer) who tells them that one of them will have to fight him to get the clue. Noone on either team didn't feel like getting beat up but finally David decided to take the challenge only to find out he only has to play a kid's toy boxing game with him. David lost after several rounds but Roy felt sorry for the team anyways and gave them their clue. They're off to Nashville, on the way we see Real World living it up in their bus while the Road Rulers and more quiet and low key. When they arrive, they're given their next mission which is entitled ""Bumper Cars"" which is just another name for Demolition Derby. There will be 6 teams of two members. One being the driver and the other a passenger equipted with a super soaker filled with paint to shoot at the opposing team's driver. The teams are- Real World-Amaya & Kat, David & Mike, Heather & Teck.
We start off with Piggy still upset about being caught smoking and losing the money for her team. They arrive at their next mission where they find out they will be wrestling, either eachother or professional wrestlers(guys, gals, ad midgets) depending on what they spin on a wrestling wheel. Heather and Piggy go first, spinning the wheel to discover they have to wrestle each other. Piggy is determined to beat Heather cause Heather caught her smoking but ofcourse Heather is quite a bit larger and just kills Piggy. On to Dan and Mike who spin the wheel and discover they have to wrestle female wrestlers. The guys take advantage of the situation and play with the girls abit but obviously each of them easily wins the match. Next is Amaya and Veronica who spin the wheel to find out they have to wrestle midgets. Veronica goes first and after a good few battles gets pinned by the midget.
We start off with both teams heading to Lexington Kentucky for their next mission. At the mission they are greeted by Keefla from Road Rules Australia. They are told they are gonna participate in a challenge that Keefla hated the most during his Road Rules taping. They have to deal with snakes, actually they have to go in a cage filled with hundreds of different kinds of snakes and wrangle out the particular ones their team is assigned. Amaya continues to aggrivate the Road Rules team, this time she admits to kicking their snakes into bushes. But the Road Rules team overcomes Amaya's attacks and wins the mission anyways! Back in the bus, the teams find their second ""Bonus $6,000"" challenge. The challenge gives both teams a list of six different tasks where they can pick 3 to complete. The first team to complete the 3 tasks wins the bonus $6,000.
We head into this episode with Amaya flirting to a truck driver over the busses CB radio. He tells her that he loves big ol' boobies and she said she has plenty of those. He tells her to meet him at the next truck stop only to see him drive by and honk, she waves as he drives away. They head off to Dublin Georgia to battle the next mission which they find out will be the Redneck Games. Both teams crack up as they hear the competitions and both are confidant that they will win. Round 1- ""Greasy Pig Catch"" In which the team that catches a greased up pig out of a pin first wins. Winners=Real World Round 2- ""Pie Eating"" The team that has the most members eat their whole pie in 5 minutes wins. Road Rules decides to make as much off a mess as possible and push as much of the pie on the floor as possible without being noticed. Road Rulers ""supposedly"" finshed all their pies first but the Real World team states that most of their pie is all over the floor and on the table.
We start off with the teams finding out that their next mission will be a football game. David immediatly goes out and teaches Kat and Amaya some tips since they have no football experience at all. The Road Rulers are in their bus cracking up at Kat and Amaya dropping the ball every 2 seconds and they know they got this mission nailed. We then see Piggy on the phone with her boyfriend from home, they have a argument and she hangs up the phone crying. Holly takes her back to the bus but Piggy stops at the tent Teck had set up and climbs in. We hear her pour out to him about her jerky boyfriend and how much she wants to find the right man. The camera pulls away which makes viewers wonder if they messed around in the tent. On the Real World bus, Amaya makes sure that her team is not that hard on Kat and her since they've never played football. While on the Road Rules bus, they want to see Amaya leave the game on a stretcher.
We start off with Holly and Dan hanging out with each other. Holly calls her mom and tells her how great he is, we also learn that Dan has a girlfriend at home who he's been with for a year and a half. Holly admits she has never gotten close to anyone as she has with Dan in a time-span of 5 weeks. We move foward to the mission ""Swamp Buggy Racing"". The teams learn they will have to be driving stick shift buggys around a two feet deep muddy water track. Heather quickly tries to learn how to drive a stick getting barked orders by David which only aggrivates her. Heather and Kat are both sick and tired of David's competitive attitude. Round 1- Road Rules wins it as Amaya and Heather both have trouble catching on to driving a stick. Winners=Road Rules Round 2- They have to drive the buggies around the track while catching inflatable animals through the way.
Finally receiving a day off from missions, the Real World team decides to pull a prank on the Road Rules team as revenge for their constant winning. They decide to come up with a fake scavenger mission. Since they're down in Miami, Mike still had his connections from his Real World days. They went to Ocean Drive Magazine where they use the magazine's resources to make a whole mission package up for the Road Rules team look as official as possible. We go to the Road Rules bus where Holly and Piggy discuss how fed up with Los they are. They believe he's rude and the whole team is just getting sick of him. The Road Rules are delived the fake mission and at first they do not want to do the scavenger hunt, they thought they finally get a day off and just wanted to keep the day free instead of having to work. So, they decide to just let Real World have the prize, but then their greediness rose and they don't want to just hand the money to Real World, so they decide to go for it.
We start off with the Real World having a meeting, they're all sick of Amaya's complaining. They feel they could have won more missions had it not been for her. Over on the Road Rules bus, tension is higher then ever with Los. They get their next mission which involves making home-made bathing suits, nothing can be part of a store-bought swimsuit. They each have to be paired up and do themed suits between the two person teams. Amaya is overwhelmed with excitement stating that this mission could give the team more respect for her since she can excel at this kinda stuff. Over on the Road Rules bus, Piggy is upset that she has to be paired up with Los. Holly and Los get into a fight and Holly says she's just going to stop being nice. The following morning, the Real World girls get to work on their costumes while the guys took off to go play all day. When they return that night, the girls go off. They finally all complete their costumes, the show is ready to begin.
We start off with Piggy still mad at Los. We hear about how much she hates him. Dan steps in and decides he wants a peaceful last five days, so he goes to the hotel to talk with Los. Dan tries to see if he'll just try to cooperate for the last five days, but Los says he couldn't do that cause he would feel like he's lying to the group and to himself. Dan finally gets him to go back to the bus where Piggy and him completely ignore eachother. Dan lets the group know that they don't have to kiss Los's butt but just try not to upset him. Dan's actions only makes Holly love him more and in a interview she states that he's the greatest guy she has ever met. With Los back, they head off to the next mission. The teams are given money and told to get food for all them that will last 48 hours. They arrive at the site of a college where they are blindfolded and told to take off any watches and that they're not allowed to have anything on them at all.
We start off the the final episode with both teams at dinner playing the question game. We see only 5 of the questions. Yes is asked how big his member is, Dan is asked who out of both teams he would like to go out with and he refuses to answer, Veronica is asked if she would be Amaya for a day and she quickly replies no, and lastly Amaya is asked if she would do the wrestling match over again and would she win. She basically said she'd kick Veronica's butt!!! The following day the teams are off to meet Gladys. She tells them their final mission would be skydiving, and reveals their handsome reward will not be money but brand new 2000 Nissan Xteras. The teams are excited and both want to win. They later find out they won't be diving tandem and they have to sign releases that warn them that they could be killed.
Extreme Challenge is the 4th season of the MTV reality game show, The Challenge. The season is directly subsequent to Real World/Road Rules Challenge 2000. Extreme Challenge is the first season that adorned the show with a subtitle, the series having begun a new trend of titling each season based off its format and theme. To date, it's also the only season in which the season title alters the show title, through the insertion of "Extreme" between "Real World/Road Rules" and "Challenge." Extreme Challenge consisted of the third and final six-on-six Challenge. The casts were split up into two different six-person teams, one representing The Real World and the other representing Road Rules. The teams traveled via tour bus in the eastern U.S. and Europe competing in different individual challenges. Each time a team won an individual challenge, money would be added to an E-Trade account. Each time they won a challenge, they had the chance to invest those winnings in the stock market for the duration of the challenge. The last mission would be for the right to keep the money collected in the pot, an additional cash prize, and a car.
This season opens up in Maine on two docks by the ocean. One reunites The Real Worlders- -Julie from Real World New Orleans *Using the challenge as a vacation after the RW. -Jamie from Real World New Orleans *Moved to San Francisco, financed some websites and made a name for himself. -Dan from Real World Miami *Been working as a model, and was once a spokesperson for the AIDS walk. -Syrus from Real World Boston *Been living life with no regrets after the RW -Rebecca from Real World Seattle *Went to Europe, cut off her hair off, and ""discovered herself"". -Kameelah from Real World Boston *Learned to be more patient after the RW.

We open the episode with Syrus still hanging on to dear life on the third rope course. Syrus gains his balance back and makes it through the course edging Real World closer to a win. But the Road Rulers came through at the end and won with a 17 to 16 lead. The Road Rulers got to spend the night in the Yacht while the Real Worlders had to spend the night(probably for the first time) outside. They wake up the following day to face their third and last mission on the island. They are told by Ramona to pick the best male and female skier off each team. Real World picks Jamie and Julie while Road Rules picks Emily and Christian. Both pairs go out on seperate boats to practice their sking; Jamie, Emily, and Christian have it down while Julie seems to be struggling alittle bit. The teams then learn that they will have to ski though a slalom course but not by a boat, but by a blimp. The team with the lowest combined time to get through the slalom wins.
We start with another clue, this time narrated by Melissa from Real World New Orleans. They are told to go to a Fisherman's Wharf in Boothbay Harbor, Maine and wear bathing suits under their clothes. We start to learn about Rebecca and James past relationship experiences and what their desires are for future romances. We also find out that they think eachother are ""cool"". Fast foward to the mission, the first part consists of a ""Lobster picking and eating"" contest where the team that eats the most lobsters in 5 minutes wins, but the catch is their arms are tied together. Real World takes it with 29 lobsters eaten to the 28 that Road Rules eat. On the next part, ""Lobster Crate Crawing"". The goal is for each team member to put on the oil jacket, sow westo(hat), and hook a fish on their arm and then run across lobster crates that are tied together floating across the water. The team to have all their member to go across the crates and back the fastest wins.
We start off with James and Rebecca long fest going on more. They both like what it is right nom but don't know what it's going to be in the future. We move on to James complaining more about losing and how he hates it so much. Christian believes that Real World has a better team spirit then the Road Rules team. They receive the next clue narrated by Devin from Road Rules 2. They learn that they're going to have to due standup comedy/skit at a Comedy in Festival in Montreal. On the way there, they start to straganize on how they're gonna crack people up. They are met in Montreal by the stars of the Comedy Central show ""Upright Citizen's Brigade"" where they learn they'll have to learn several improve games and perform them tonight in front of a audience. They split off in different rooms where coaches teach them some hints on better improving. Kameelah feels confidant about the Real World team while Road Rules is freaking out.
We open up with Real World partying cause of all their wins. They receive the next clue which is narrated by Flora by Real World Miami. They're told that they will need to be rolling well and not drop the ball. Christian and Laterrian have a communication barrier and Christian blames it on Latterian's ""jive"" talking while Laterrain blames Christian for being from Norway. They arrive at a warehouse only to find out it's the movie set for the movie ""Rollerball"" They finally notice that they're standing next to the two stars - LL Cool J and Chris Klein. The two stars take them over to meet with the stunt coordinator to learn how to inline skate on a big ol course. They get all geared up and watch some professional skaters do some impressive stunts, all while hoping they won't have to try any of those stunts. They go out on the track and play out alittle bit trying to perfect their skating. Meanwhile, Christian is doing laps around everybody showing off that he is a skilled skater.
We start right off with Christian being interviewed by the producer, he's asked if he was ever confronted by Ayanna in a physical manner. And then we flash to Ayanna who is talking to a friend on the cell phone saying that she never just snaps like the way she did for no reason, she is only provoked to do that. We then flash foward to 24 hours prior where we find Ayanna crying to Christian about her mother's loss to cancer several months earlier. Christian comforts her and Ayanna is extremely appreciative. Flash foward to cast mates partying at a bar. Ayanna is back at the bus where she is greeted by Shawn from her season on Road Rules. After catching up with him, Ayanna goes to sleep in the back of the bus. At about 5:30am the guys come back and Ayanna wakes to hear them but tries to fall back asleep.
We start off with Julie on the phone with Ayanna while looking at her picture on the Road Rules bus. She says that she feels that she shouldn't be there and that she can't do the challenge without her. Jamie tries to tell her to let it go and enjoy the trip. She tries to go around and get her team to boycott Ayanna leaving, but Road Rules lets her know it's not thier control. The Road Rules team goes on and realizes they need to stay unified as a team and keep Ayanna in their spirit. The next clue arrives narrated by Chris from Road Rules Europe. He explains that they will be sticky and they'll have to pin down the situation, the group believes it has something to do with stripping. They arrive at their mission and the organizers provide them with shoes and wrestling spandex outfits.
We dive right back into Jame's struggles with losing and Rebecca losing respect for him and his childish ways. James is still attracted to her but doesn't know if he should go all the way in fear of screwing it up. Since James is so competitive, Dan decides to make a wager. Who can blow a bigger bubble? James attempts and gets not one bubble. Dan goes and ofcourse gets like 10 big bubbles out of one blow. James punishment? To run around the Real World bus naked. Syrus received the next clue in their cellphone, it says something about kicking tricks at a college complex in Conn. Susie is the most excited out of the two teams cause it's her first mission. They arrive to find 4 professional soccer players who help them learn the basic moves of soccer. James and Jamie seem to be the best so far.
We go right into Road Rules happy about their winning marathon and Real World hating to lose. The next clue comes narrated by Mssada from the Road Rules Maximum Velocity Tour. She says that the next mission will be ""Sub-Standard"". They all guess that it will have something to do with Submarines only to find out that they have to go to the Navy's Submarine school. They arrive and are given 15 minutes to change into naval outfits. They gather in a class where they learn they'll how to survive in a submarine compartment while it's flooding. They're given different techniques on how to stop leaks. After the class, they're given 10 minutes to quickly eat. James is already complaining about having a commander barking commands at him. The guys and gals are given seperate rooms to sleep for the night. The guys of Road Rules get in alittle bit of trouble when Christian and James fool around after hours.
A clue arrives narrated by Teck from Real World Hawaii. He asks them a riddle- ""What do egyptians and Football players have in common?"" They both like pryamids. They know right off the bat that it has something to do with cheerleading. Road Rules is already full of them self as Susie did some cheerleading in her highschool days and Michelle was a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader for two years. Dan is trying to keep the spirit alive on the Real World team as they all think they're gonna get killed by Road Rules in this mission. Emily has flashbacks of her high school days where she tried out for the cheerleading squad and didn't make it. They arrive at the field to find their mayors who state they will perform 3 different cheers, one is a themed competition, second is a sideline cheer, and lastly is a perfect cheer where they get to pick the music and do what they please. They have to pick a leader and ofcourse Road Rules picks Michelle and Real World goes with Dan.
We start off with Emily telling the story of her accident to Susie. Emily had gone on a vacation to Europe and ofcourse she wanted to visit Christian. They went out and had a few drinks and on the way back their car was hit broad-sided by a tractor trailer. Everyone survived but lots of damage was done. Christian cannot go a day without thinking about the accident and he still has two metal plates in his chin to remind him. Emily has major face scaring which has been fixed by plastic surgery. Their next clue arrives, this time narrated by Christina from Road Rules Australia. She tells them they will need lots of balance and they will be given enough rope to hang themselves. They arrive at their practice site for the mission where they find out that they will be tight rope walking 100 feet in the air over concrete floor.
The teams are excited cause they're off to London where the next part of the challenge will take place. Both teams receive new double decker buses with their pictures on the side. They start off by doing some site seeing. At lunch, Susie tells Emily that she really wants the money and she thinks the Road Rules team is more into the challenge for the friendships then the money. They receive their next clue narrated by Timmy from Road Rules 2. He says they need to be pumped up and tough for the next mission. They arrive at the mission site and find out that they're taking part in a ""Tough Guy"" competition obstical course that involves about everything that a body can handle including climbing, swimming, crawling, etc. They start- Obstacal 1 - The Tiger Tail They have to climb up a net ladder and then go through a electrical fence that actually shocks James. Real World in the lead.
We go right in with the teams receiving their next clue narrated by Amaya from Real World Hawaii. She tells them that their world will be turned upside down. Amaya also makes a comment about Julie staying strong, in a interview Emily tells everybody that Julie and her don't get along at all and they just try to stay away from each other. On their phones, it tells them that they will be going to Germany. They arrive at the next mission site. The new mission mayor does not speak english well, but she tries to tell them that she works for a bungee/extreme sports company. Todays mission will consist of three different challenges, the team with the most points after the three challenges wins $10,000 Monster.com dollars. Challenge 1 is a 'Vertical Bike System'. Each team will pick a guy and girl to compete, they will have to bike as fast as they can. The faster they go, the faster the bike climbs the wire.
Note: Some consider this episode the ""Lost Mission"" episode. It only aired the first time and has never aired in reruns or in any Extreme Challenge marathons. The teams receive another clue to be at the world-famous Kit Kat Club in Berlin. They arrive to find Gloria Viagra, a tall blue wigged tranvestite who will be their mission mayor. She tells them that each team must pair up in three teams and do a Famous Couples Fashion show. There's a catch through, they won't be just wearing what their famous couple wore, they must transform their characters into a fetish theme. Julie being the downhome Mormon that she is freaks out. She knows her parents especially her Dad will be watching the challenge and she is afraid of what they'll think. James tries to comfort her the best he can aswell as Syrus letting her know she can just do it and never have to worry about doing it again.
Emily invites Julie out for a shopping trip around Germany in hopes that they can get along better. Julie says they are alright together now but 'The trip is not over yet'!

They receive another clue on their cell phones saying to meet their torture master at a castle. They arrive at the castle and meet their mission mayor who is in cloaks aswell as his assistants. They find out their mission will be ""The Grossout Games"". They are told there will be 4 challenges - Scrap Eating Contest, Eel Bath, Needle in a Haystack, and Bug Spitting Contest. The bonus is the teams get to pick who they want on the other team to compete in which mission. Event 1: Scrap Eating Each team is given a basket full of meat of some animal that is not recognizable. The basket includes meat covered bones, livers, and brains. The team that finishes the whole basket first wins.
We continue right back in with Syrus holding James shirt up around his neck, Kameelah runs in and breaks them apart. We find out that after all the fighting, noone was awarded the $10,000. That night, Susie admits that she is bitter and speaks for the Road Rules team that they are tired of losing, tired of the challenge, and ready to go home. Laterrian tries to keep the positive attitude but it is even getting hard for him to do that after all the losing. The following morning, they receive a clue on their phones saying to take a bite of the Big Apple and that they will be going to New York and there will be a mission the following morning. They are head to the airport and arrive in New York. They receive another clue, it says they will have to fight a legal battle in court. They head to the municipal court in New York meet Michael who is the assistant to Judge Mills Lane. He tells them that Judge Mills Lane will be doing a hearing to determine who deserve the $10,000 Monster.
We start off with James and Rebecca on a walk. Rebecca mentions that she loved James at the beginning of the challenge and now that the Road Rules team continously loses, she finds his hard to be around. James mentions that he is tired of losing and doesn't want to be around anyone, Rebecca or his team. They receive a clue on their phones that they're heading to California. On the van ride to the next mission, both teams are playing with eachother. Road Rules is bound to take this last mission while Syrus says that he is leading the Real World team to victory. They arrive at a race track out in the desert to find ""Raced-Up"" Toyota Celicas for each of them. Their mission mayor arrives and announces that their last mission will be ""Toyota Motorsports"".

Catch up with the twelve former Real World and Road Rules alumni who are returning to compete in the 'Extreme Challenge' as they fill us in on how they've changed, what they regret from their show, and where they are today.
Real World/Road Rules Challenge: Battle of the Seasons is the fifth season of the MTV reality game show, The Challenge (at the time known as Real World/Road Rules Challenge). The season is directly subsequent to Extreme Challenge. Battle of the Seasons premiered in early 2002 and took place in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. In each episode, the cast competed in a challenge, and the top three Real World and top three Road Rules teams would become the "Inner Circle" and have the power to vote off teams. The "Inner Circle" was determined by a cumulative score that would be tallied on a leader board. The final six teams would compete for a final prize worth $300,000.
We start off this season with the cast diving into Caba San Lucas...literally! Each of the castmates sky dive onto a beach where they greet their seasons partner. We have on Road Rules- *Timmy and Emily from Road Rules 2 *Chris and Belou from Road Rules Europe *Dan and Tara from Road Rules Northern Trail *Chadwick and Piggy from Road Rules Australia *Josh and Holly S. from Road Rules Latin America *Yes and Veronica from Road Rules Semester at Sea *Theo and Holly M.
The first inner circles meet to figure out who to vote out of the Battle of the Seasons.
We start off with some clouds coming in and the wind getting alittle stronger by the minute. Theres talk of a Hurricane coming but they all hear that it's just suppose to swing past them and head east. But the waves continue to get bigger and it gets uglier and uglier outside. Jisela goes off about Chadwick and Holly, saying that if she gets the chance to get in the Inner Circle, one of them are going home. The Road Rulers are tired of the villa saying that the tone set in the first Inner Circle has ruined the team, even Belou is crying to the Real World team beging to stay in their Villa. At Breakfast, darker clouds continue to roll in. Mark and Eric come in and say that rain is on the way, and the next mission doesn't work well in the rain, so it has been cancelled and they just get to hang out for the rest of the day. Mike decides to be a Jack-A** and play in the 20 feet high waves, which scared Kelley to death and they scream for him to come out.
We start off with shots of Cabo San Lucas and how Hurricane Juliette has destroyed alot of it. The teams go back to visit the villas to find everything including the beach has been destroyed. Kelley says ""Thank-God"" that Hurricane came cause it really brought everybody closer together. The Real World team is kinda stressed on how or who they will vote next. So, they decide, If Real World wins, to have the winning team kick back some of the money to the previous teams that were booted and then just get rid of the weakest team each elimination round. That way Real World will have the strongest team. Stephen suggests that they all put a signature down on paper, but the team says they all trust eachother. Sean is on a porch stating their stagedy is to vote off the lowest scoring team but there is alot of people who want to get rid of Stephen, allwhile Stephen is peaking around from the other porch listening.
We start right back in with the Inner-Tube Tango! People are going crazy, several people yell at Stephen cause he's hitting to get to the tubes, even getting to the point where noone want to stand next to him in the dance line. Piggy and Chadwick were the first eliminated followed by- *Becky and Norman *Danny and Kelley *Mike & Coral, and Adam & Jisela are disqualified, due to the men holding onto another tube for their teammate. *Chris and Belou *Holly and Josh *Theo and Holly, Holly had a innertube and Stephen ripped it out of her hands and threw it away from her. *Timmy and Emily *Mike and Sharon are disqualified since Mike held onto a tube for Lindsey. *Dan and Tara *Mike and Flora We're down to Sean & Elka and Stephen & Lindsey. Lindsey says she would be happy for Sean & Elka to take the guitar package, but Stephen wants it for himself. Elka said she would love the guitar for the love of her life- Walter.
At Breakfast, they are told to pack up their bags cause they are moving back to the villas and the next mission will be at 5pm that evening. They are told to wear sneakers, no bare-feet or sandals. Each team has one cell phone to share and finally the service has gone back up since the Hurricane. They all fight to see who could take turns calling back to civilization first. Holly says that even though her team believed she would crumble without Chadwick, het determination has only doubled since his eviction. Stephen confronts Coral to let her know there will be no more effort on his half to try and be friends with her, but all he asks is that he'll be civil with her aslong as shes civil with him to make it through the final 3 weeks. Coral tells him that she doesn't understand him and doesn't like him and if he'll just leave her alone, she'll be happy. Coral says she feels sorry for Lindsey to have to be paired up with this weirdo.
We start off with Real World still in their Inner Circle, debating on who to vote off. Becky is busy talking to Lindsey, cause Lindsey knows it's her going. Becky says 'no' cause the agreement is to get rid of the lowest scoring team which would be Mike & Flora. Coral wants Stephen gone due to his moral and unsportsmanship affecting the team. They all decide against Kelley's wishes to vote off Stephen & Lindsey. Kelley just asks that they each go up and tell Lindsey how much she rocks and it's not cause of her that they are eliminating that team. The elimination proceedings begin and Mike speaks on behalf of the Real World Inner Circle declaring that Stephen and Lindsey are eliminated. Stephen says that the Real World team is dishonest and rotten at the heart, while Flora believes the decision was wacked cause her team was the lowest scoring and deserved to go home.
Tara and Mike attempt to hide their burgeoning relationship from the others to no avail. Also: the teams are hit by "Montezuma's Revenge", which affects almost everyone; and Mark and Eric reveal the next challenge: the Ladder of Death.
The teams tackle the "Ladder of Death" challenge, which will determine the final three teams in each inner circle; Mike and Theo have a verbal spat.
An angry e-mail from Chadwick upsets Holly and divides the "Road Rules" team. Also, the teams take part in a cow-penning competition.
The teams undertake a "Rush Hour" challenge, which consists of moving cars around a grid in order to get one out.
The teams compete for a car in a competition that sees which can keep their hands or feet on a block of ice longest. Also: the "Miz" makes an appearance.
The teams take part in a quiz challenge called the "Sidekick Showdown", in which they answer questions about their partners.
The teams face the "blockhead" challenge, which requires them to build a structure from blocks for one of the teammates to stand on. Also: Sean develops a plan for every contestant to leave with part of the "handsome reward," but not everyone goes for it.
We start off with Mike acting like 'The Miz' and Timmy and Theo just making fun of him. At breakfast, they are told their next mission will be that night and they will be given their outfits shortly. They're also told they will need to be weighed in. From that, they already know that involves some sorta battle, either boxing or wrestling. They are then given their outfits which lets them know that they will be wrestling. Mike is excited saying this is the mission he's been waiting for. They receive a message saying the mission will be at 6pm. They arrive at the mission and discover that they will be doing ""Siamese Wrestling"" where teams will be tied back to back with a corset and then have to wrestle the opposite team in a ring covered in bubbles. A match will have a winner when they can get one of the opposing team member's shoulders down on the mat for 3 seconds.
The day has arrived...tis the day of the Final Mission. Each of the teams wake up nervous yet excited to win the handsome reward. The Road Rules team wonders what the last mission will be, Emily hopes it has nothing to do with luck, cause she doesn't believe it's fair to win $300,000 off luck. They discuss the deals they have, we learn there is a deal between- Emily & Elka Theo & Mike Tara & Danny Timmy & Kelley Dan & Sean The only two not to reach a agreement is Holly & Coral. Coral has tried, but Holly denied cause she believes she'll put 100% in this final mission and take the money home. The vans pick them up bright and early and they arrive at the final mission site. As the Ultimate Teams, Sean & Elka and Theo & Holly must deligate the rest of their teams during each part of the final mission. They also learn that the Ultimate Team that wins the final mission will not just get the $50,000 each but they also will each get a 2002 Saturn Vue SUV.
The two final Inner Circles get together to discuss the challenge. We learn that all of the Real World teammates have stayed to their promise and has given the money deserved to the Road Rules teammates they paired up with and the other Real World teammates that were eliminated. They do a final challenge, a tug-o-war over a pool. Road Rules wins and they each receive a Playstation 2 package.
Battle of the Sexes is the 6th season of the MTV reality game show, The Challenge. The season is directly subsequent to the first Battle of the Seasons. Battle of the Sexes featured cast members from The Real World and Road Rules. The cast stayed in the Round Hill Hotel and Villa Resort near Montego Bay, Jamaica. The show premiered on December 30, 2002 and concluded on May 12, 2003. This is the first edition of the Battle of the Sexes series, with Battle of the Sexes 2 following in 2004–2005.
We're introduced to the new cast- Guys Eic N. from Real World New York Mark from Road Rules 1 David from Real World Los Angeles Puck from Real World San Francisco Antoine from Road Rules Europe Jake from Road Rules Islands Dan from Real World Miami Syrus from Real World Boston Colin from Real World Hawaii Yes from Road Rules Semester at Sea Laterrian from Road Rules Maximum Velocity Tour James from Road Rules Maximum Velocity Tour David from Real World New Orleans Jamie from Real World New Orleans Blair from Road Rules The Quest Theo from Real World Chicago Shane from Road Rules Campus Crawl Eric J from Road Rules Campus Crawl Gals Emily from Road Rules 2 Beth from Real World Los Angeles Anne from Road Rules Northern Trail Christina from Road Rules Australia Genesis from Real World Boston Gladys from Road Rules Latin America Veronica from Road Rules Semester at Sea Ayanna from Road Rules Semester at Sea Ruthie from Real World Hawai
We begin with the ladies in a pow-wow for team unity where Gladys reveals that she's pregnant. She's so happy that she wants to share it with everyone and she says that she'll know when it's time to go home and she'll happily do so because she's so ready to be a mommy. Everyone is happy for her and Rachel from Campus Crawl points out that MTV picked the 18 toughest women to be in Jamaica and that they wouldn't even be having this competition if nobody thought they had a chance to take the Chilis money home. They all believe they can win this thing and they end their meeting with their team chant, ""V*gina, V*gina, V*gina!"" The next morning, a drill sergeant wakes up both houses in the early hours of the morning. Puck, who chosed to stay in the women's villa to keep distance from Dave, is late for roll call.
We start off this week with all the ladies having a battle of their own to fight right now and that is not against the guys, but with Mr. Diarrhea. While all the women are trying to gain enough strength for the next competition, the guys are living it up in their now ""peaceful without David"" villa. The mission phone lets them know that they should be ready by 10:30am and wear swimsuits and have plenty of sunblock. On the way to the mission the guys try to form a ""voting-off"" plan to keep their team more organized and civil than the ladies. With David withdrawing himself from competition in the previous episode, the guys have yet to have to vote someone off. The guys finalize a plan to vote off the male player with the lowest commulative score which leaves Latterian the team mascot fearing his departure. The teams arrive to find trapeeze bars hanging above the water.
We start off with the girls so happy about thier winning streke hoping that it doesn't end at the next mission. Dan is hanging out in the girl's villa saying the guys just go back and scream at eachother after every competition they lose. Puck says that his girlfriend and son are coming to visit and he decides what better place then Jamaica to get married. Mark, as the only married male on the cast, takes Puck around to see if they can find a great site for the wedding and give him alittle pointers on how the ceremony should be set up. Puck gives Mark the honor of holding Bogart, his son, during the ceremony. Back at the girl's villa, Puck is talking to the ladies about his wedding and Ellen wonders why he would want to have a wedding and invite all the Real World and Road Rules teammates to it even though he may not get along with most of them. She then claims that Puck is doing it all for show, and Pucks lets her know that she's being rude.
We start off finding out that the next mission will be tomorrow and they need to wear swim-suits and sunscreen. We also learn that Puck's son Bogart and future wife Betty will be arriving tomorrow aswell. We then see David and Ayanna talking, sharing everything about eachother, and just growing closer. They both love how they have clicked with eachother and look foward to what the future has for them. Bogart and Betty arrive, they stay up in in a tree-house bedroom above the villas. Puck and Betty go on to tell how they met 6 years ago in a pet store. Puck lets Betty know that Ellen is getting on his nerves and she'd better watch out. The teams all meet Bogart and believe he's the cutest kid around. Tonya and Ellen go off about how disgusted they are with Puck's behavior. The teams are off for their next mission. The girls are up two missions to one and the guys are determined to get this game tied. They learn the next mission is ""Breath-Hold Bungee"".
We start right back in with Ellen explaining that when she went to go ask the guys if they can trade scissors with her, Puck told her to get out and that he is gonna kick her a**. Annesa in the middle of showering felt the need to come and listen to the conversation topless. Ellen says that Puck said this to her while Mark and Colin just sat there and listened. She claims Puck has control over the guys house and none of the guys have any guts to stand up to him. Back in the guys villa, they are hanging out while Colin performs some quotes from his soon to be released ""Quote Book"".(Check out his site, link on main page). We then flash back to the girls with Ellen still cryings stating she doesn't think it is fair for Puck to say those things to a girl, especially her. Tonya tries to calm her down but she feels her life has been threatened.
At the Girl's Villa, they learn on their phones that the next competition will be the following day and they must pair up in teams. The rule with the teams as the challenge goes along, is that once two people are teamed together for a challenge, they cannot be teammates again for the rest of the challenge. Immediatly the girls start to pair up, all while Amaya is taking a nap. The pairs end up with Amaya and Veronica left, but the problem is that they have already been paired. Ellen starts to complain about team unity when noone wants to give up their partner to team up with Amaya or Veronica. Rachel believes Ellen is making the situation bigger then it is. Tonya suggests Ellen should just sit back and let them figure it out cause supposedly Ellen is always trying to solve the problems. The following day, Eric makes some potion and rubs it on Colin's ankle in hope to numb it for he can make it through this next mission.
We start off with Puck saying goodbye to his new bride Betty and son Bogart. He says he couldn't be any happier with the family he has and she wishes him the best in the rest of the competition as she leaves to go home. Over in the girls villa, Rachel expresses how she believes its selfish for a girl to want to go home halfway through the competition and they could have eliminated themselves earlier and someone that wanted to stay through the competition could still be there. Genesis believes Rachel has made too many negative comments about the team as a whole. It's mission time, they arrive at the mission site, to see a whole circus/carnival setup. They see these wood cut-outs of a rollercoaster car and train. Each car has two blocks of ice, one block about 2 feet higher then the other. Johnny explains that the next mission is ""Freeze your butt off"".
Darkness has fallen over the villas and Puck is upset. It seems that Betty (Puck's wife) is not a US citizen and she has forgotten her green card, so Betty and Bogart aere detained in Immigration for a few days. Puck has decided he's done with the challenge and wants to leave, a camera films Puck as he tells the guys and Puck tells them to remove the camera from filming him. Glass is heard breaking and Puck is seen with a machete knife. He packs his bags and leaves. Holes in the walls, broken glass, and a broken guitar are later seen and we are meant to believe this was all cause by Puck on his last night. The following day, Ellen asks some of the guys what they're going to do now that they're down one man. Ellen later talks to Emily and tells her that she thinks the girls should have a meeting and discuss how they feel about the last elimination.
It's Party Time...the cast is all getting drunk, dancing, and just having a good time. Off at their own table, Emily and James are enjoying eachothers company even more. They are both happy to be in Jamaica with eachother and both are just enjoying their relationship. The following morning, they receive their next mission on their phones. It says it will be at 12:30 and they must wear a shirt, shorts, and 2 undergarments. They already put two and two together and know they'll have to take off a article of clothing if they mess up at whatever they have to do. Tonya pulls Ruthie aside and lets her know that she wants the Inner Circle to send her home if she's at the bottom. That way another strange vote-off will not happen and they will be left with the strongest team they can have. They arrive at the mission site to find out they'll be doing ""The Battle of the Opposite Sexes"" game show.
Eric receives a call from home, his sister has been in the hospital for over a week with a horrible fever and the doctors still cannot figure out what is wrong. The following morning, they receive a clue on their phone stating that the next mission will be that day and they need to wear a swim suit, shorts, and bug spray. Ayanna knows she has to do the best she can cause since herself and a few others did not participate in the 'Battle of Opposite Sexes', their score has plummeted and they are in danger of being sent home. Anne, Christina, and Emily have started a group against Veronica. They believe she in nothing but negativity to the girls' team. Veronica believes even though the past several eliminations have been the lowest scoring girl, that won't last too much longer due to several ""alliances"" forming. They arrive at the mission site, Johnny congratulates them for making it through the first half and welcomes them to the second half. The mission is called ""Leaky River"".
We start off with Emily commenting on that there is many girls at the challenge walking around in bikini tops and she can't help but feel jealous and vulnerable that James would try to hook up with someone else. We then hear from Melissa and Ayanna that awhile back James helped Veronica move into her apartment and it's rumored that they may have fooled around. They arrive at the mission site to find two sets of about six ladders strung together zigzagged going up to a platform hanging from a crane about 80 feet in the air. The mission is called ""Stairway To Heaven"" Along the ladder path there is different sections painted in different colors. They have a total of 1 minute to climb and for each section the contestant passes they earn 5 points for a total of 80 points possible if they make it to the top. The team that has the most points wins $1,000 for each teammate provided by Atari's Mission Impossible.
The girls are coming to a conclusion that most of the past challenges have been male oriented. They don't believe it's fair and the believe that is the reason why they keep losing. Ellen and Ruthie know they are the two strongest competitors on the female team and they know they have to start showing that this is the Battle of the Sexes. Ayanna has found herself drifting away from her team, she is not happy with the performances and attitudes of everyone on the women's team. It's the following day and it's mission day. They receive a clue on their phones telling them to wear boots and shorts and be well hydrated. The guys just believe the women should quit, they are in too deep and the guys just got it together. They arrive at their mission site, where they see a line of laser vests and gun. Ofcourse, they all realize they will be playing laser tag.
We start off with the remaining cast partying hard at a local nightclub. They're shots of drinking, dancing, and even Blair going down a waterslide naked. Back at the villas, we see Shane who is growing sick of the ""Frat-Circle"" that he calls the remaining male team. He just doesn't fit in and he's growing home sick. He says that no matter if he wins tomorrows mission he is ready and will be going home. The following day Shane sits down with Ruthie and Genesis and has a three hour discussion about their lives in general. He has now realized that he has a place in these peoples lives. They head to the next mission which is taking place at a nearby hotel. They arrive to find a huge net drawn up between the two hotel towers. Johnney announces that this next mission is called ""Spider Mon"". One guy and one girl will be drawn out on a wire hung off the 15th floor of the two hotel towers in front of this huge net.
It's mission morning, James and Shane know they have a fight today to make sure that they don't end up in last place after the mission. Emily comments about how James was born for competition. They receive their next mission clue on their phone, it says the girls must wear a two piece bathing suit and the guys must wear their speedos. The girls believe it will be something humiliating. They arrive at the mission site to find a big tank of water. Johnny announces that the next mission will be Human Aquarium. Everybody will be given a snorkel and will have to lay in a 2 foot deep pool of water. They must stay submerged under the water, only their knees and one hand may come above the water. The catch is every 5 minutes, they will dump buckets of different sea creatures on them and around the pool. The person to stay completely submerged while holding a cup of water with a fish in it upright the whole time wins a Vail Ski Trip for their team and ofcourse the Ion Lifesaver.
The loss of a team member leaves the girls feeling weakened and abandoned.
The girls find out the grand prize and try to redeem themselves.
After a month in Jamaica, it is all down to the final challenge for the $150,000 Chili's dollars! Mark, Colin, and Jamie are going head to head with Lori, Ruthie and Ellen to see whose going to win the Battle of the Sexes. With their losing streak over, the ladies are confident that they have a chance to win... Each team is given a block puzzle as a clue for the mission that is to come. The ladies figure out the puzzle but the guys can't and Mark hopes this isn't a bad sign. After they receive the phone call with details, the teams arrive at the competition course. The game is called ""It Takes 3"" and will require each trio to work as a team in order to win. The first part of the course is the tri ski slalom, followed by the block-by-block brainteaser, and then the ropes course. No member can advance to the next phase without every person on his or her team completing the obstacle. The horn blows and the mission begins...

They would then nominate two players from their team to the Inferno elimination challenge.

Former 'Battle of the Sexes' competitors and eager new Challengers recap the first 'Battle' and give some insight on what to expect in the most anticipated re-match in 'Challenge' history.
The Inferno II is the 10th season of the MTV reality game show, The Challenge. The season is directly subsequent to Battle of the Sexes 2. The Inferno II is the second of The Inferno series, with the original Inferno airing in 2004, and The Inferno 3 following in 2007. The show aired in 2005, and took place in Manzanillo, Mexico. This challenge was the same as The Inferno, except this time each team was allowed to choose only one "Inferno nominee" from the opposite team. This nominee had to win the "life shield" to save him or herself. The contestants in this challenge were grouped into two teams of "Good Guys" and "Bad Asses", representing the "heroes" and "villains" of their respective seasons.
Twenty competitors face off in Manzanillo, Mexico. Veronica and Derrick are among the returning challengers. First up: physical tests conducted by two Navy SEALs.
The teams take part in the "Juice It Up" challenge, which requires them to race on stilts and squeeze fruit into juice.
Fighting erupts amongst the ladies; and Tonya targets team outcast Beth. Also: the teams compete in the "X Marks the Spot" challenge; and the first women's Inferno nominations stirs up tensions amongst the gals on both teams.
The "bad" team plots to lose the "Run For Your Money" challenge in order to use the Life Shield. Also, the Inferno claims its first female victim.
One of the "Bad Asses" decides to leave the competition. The "Bad Asses" fare poorly in the "Shirt Off My Back" challenge, which causes friction among the teammates.
Karamo alienates himself from his team when he bows out of the "Dodge Yer Balls" challenge.
Jodi's friendship with Derrick is tested; the teams face off in the "Fill in the Gaps" challenge.
The teams square off in the "Zip Up" challenge, which finds the players trying to traverse inclined ropes while suspended 200 feet in the air.
The teams take part in the "Never Ending Climb" challenge, which finds them collecting necklaces while scaling ladders held aloft by a crane. Also: Tonya has issues with her teammates.
Brad has issues with Mike after Mike gives him a wedgie. Also; the teams compete in drag racing, but with a twist: margarita glasses are placed before the finish line, and if they're upset, each contestant has five minutes added to their time. .
The teams must solve a riddle and transport several objects across a lake.
The contestants must ride mini-bikes across one of two different paths. Also: Tonya and Julie square off in the Inferno.
The teams have their memories tested in a challenge, and CT's scheme to get more of the money pays off when the next pair of "Inferno" nominees are revealed.
The contestants take part in the "Crab Grab", which requires them to carry crabs across the beach to a box.
The contestants compete in the "Heart Rate Bungee", which partners them with members of their team for bungee jump. Before they can leap, however, they must lower their heart rates to below 100 beats per minute; whichever team has the lowest average wait wins.
The 10th-season finale.
The Gauntlet II is the 11th season of the MTV reality game show, The Challenge. The season is directly subsequent to The Inferno II. The Gauntlet II marked T. J. Lavin's first time presenting the series, regularly hosting the program from this season forward. Prior seasons only used temporary hosts. The season is the second in the Gauntlet series, with the original Gauntlet airing in 2003–2004 and The Gauntlet III following in 2008. The Gauntlet II aired in late 2005 and into 2006 with 32 contestants and took place in Trinidad and Tobago. The teams were designated Veterans and Rookies, based on the number of prior Challenge seasons on which each cast member had competed. Those on the Veterans team had been on at least two prior seasons, and those on the Rookies team had been on fewer than two seasons. For this season, a male and female captain were determined at the beginning of the season. After each team challenge, the losing team captain was sent to the "Gauntlet", where they would face an opponent of the same sex and same team who was voted into the Gauntlet by the respective team. Gauntlets alternated between "Male Gauntlets" and "Female Gauntlets".
The new cast of The Gauntlet 2 arrive to Trindad and Tobago. Their newest host, BMX rider T. J. Lavin, informs them that they would be competing for a spot as team captain. While the captain position comes with perks, it also comes with a price—the captain of the losing team would be forced to go into the Gauntlet (the elimination round) where they will face-off against another challenger from their team. Jo finds the living conditions too much to handle.
Facing off in their first challenge, "Chock Full o' Coconuts," the Veterans set out to prove whether prior challenge experience will prevail over the Rookies' youthful enthusiasm. Later, at the first men's Gauntlet showdown, a heated battle results in the first player to be eliminated from the game.
Rookie female team captain Kina is worried how her vulnerable position will affect her relationship with her teammate and boyfriend, Randy. The teams are forced to work together to come out on top at the "Team Builders" challenge. The first female Gauntlet ends with a surprising outcome.
A long-standing rivalry between Danny and Jodi erupts in a heated confrontation. At the "Moving Pyramid" challenge, the teams must literally carry the weight of their teammates. And the Gauntlet sets the stage for one player's angry departure.
The players set out to soak their competition at the "Spongeworthy" challenge. The Gauntlet sends home another victim. In addition, a complicated love triangle between Mark, Robin and Jodi results in an emotional breakdown.
Tension is high among the team captains, as Alton struggles with the tough responsibility of the job and Derrick's abrasive behavior causes strife between him and Brad. The "Body Painting" challenge finds the teams in a colorful mess as they battle for victory. And two quick climbers race for survival at the Gauntlet.
Notorious trouble-maker Beth is back in action as she feuds with teammate Montana. The heat is on as the teams go the distance at the "Rickshaw Races" challenge. And a stunning Gauntlet upset leaves one team worried about their dubious new captain.
Accusations of an alliance with the other team send the Rookies into a state of chaos. The players put their muscles to the test at the "Team Strength" challenge. A costly mistake at the challenge results in a beloved castmember being sent to the Gauntlet.
With suspicion still clouding their team, the Rookies struggle to come together for a win. The Veterans grow frustrated with the performance of their controversial captain, Beth. At the "Balancing Act" challenge, the teams must face a nerve-wracking tightrope walk. And the Gauntlet is the stage for the settling of a long-standing grudge.
The competitors face the ride of their lives at the "Buck-A-Neer" challenge. Derrick must once again fight for survival in the Gauntlet. An island romance blossoms between Alton and Jodi.
Cara and Susie worry how their alienation from the other women on their team will affect their chances in the game. The Veterans set out to end their four-game losing streak as they struggle to hold their own at the "Pull Me" challenge. The Gauntlet heats up as two fiercely competitive women face off in a grueling battle.
Beth's lackluster performance at the challenges continues to frustrate the Veterans. The teams must make their way through a dangling obstacle course at the "Spare Tires" challenge. The Gauntlet claims another victim.
The pressure of being team captain takes its toll on Kina. Beth continues to wreak havoc on the Veteran team. At the "Easy Does It" challenge, the players race to cross a swinging platform. A sudden twist brings a surprise ending to a highly anticipated Gauntlet showdown.
The teams must work together to pull themselves to a victory as they face their latest challenge-"The Pit." Two friends face a difficult situation as they must compete to send one another home at the Gauntlet. And Jodi and Alton wonder about the future of their relationship as the Challenge nears its end.
The Veteran women fear their male teammates may throw a challenge in order to send one of the girls home. The players put their faith in each other's hands as they walk blindfolded across a suspended balance beam in the "Blind Trust" challenge. Kina must make a difficult decision as she selects an opponent to compete against in the final women's Gauntlet.
With the last men's Gauntlet in front of them, the men worry about the possibility of being sent home the day before the Final Challenge. At the "Piece By Piece" challenge, the teams put their mechanical skills to the test. And one team must watch as two of their most beloved players go head-to-head to make it to the end in the most emotionally charged Gauntlet yet.
The last male Gauntlet comes to a shocking end. The Rookie women have decided that losing is not an option, while Veteran team remain confident that they will pull an upset and take it home. The final challenge comes to a close in an unusual way.
Fresh Meat is the 12th season of the MTV reality game show, The Challenge. Fresh Meat is a season that made history on The Challenge by being the first season to include previously unknown contestants as part of the cast. Previous to Fresh Meat, all seasons functioned solely by the program's trademark: strictly using contestants that were previously cast on past seasons of The Real World or Road Rules. To date, Fresh Meat's most notable debuting contestants who've both continued on in further seasons of the show and won Challenge seasons are: Kenny Santucci, Evelyn Smith, and Evan Starkman. Filmed in Australia, Fresh Meat featured two-player teams; each team had an alumnus of The Real World or Road Rules partnered with a newcomer to the Challenge. This is the first edition of the Fresh Meat series, with Fresh Meat II following in 2010.
Real World/Road Rules Challenge Fresh Meat head down under as a pack of eager hopefuls try to make a name for themselves against alumni in Australia. The twist? Each new cast member is paired with an alumni creating 12 individual teams. The four remaining teams will duke it out in the final challenge in hopes of heading home with a $250,000 cash prize. The first challenge begins on the 175th floor of the famous Q1 building where the teams go against each other in a battle of time and speed.
Anxieties run high when the rest of the cast decides to break up the Austin couples- Danny and Melinda and Johanna and Wes- and send Danny and Ev to compete against Wes and Casey in the Exile. The Challenge "stumps" a few teams as they test their balance on tree stumps. They are not only balancing but each team must dodge a medicine size swinging ball being wailed at them from other cast members. Coral and Evan once again come out as the winners and the two teams prepare for Exile. Emotions flare when the cast finds out they are not allowed to watch the challenge and the Austin couples say their goodbyes. The two teams head to the challenge blindfolded and are welcomed by four large bags- the same amount of weight as their luggage! Each team must carry the bags through the entire challenge and are given the option to complete puzzles for prizes. Wes and Casey skip out on the puzzles and come out as the winners. According to Tina this is no longer a game, this is politics.
Trust and support go hand-in-hand this week on the challenge when Diem confesses to her partner Derrick that she is suffering from ovarian cancer. The tragic news drives Derrick to give his all and make a difference in Diem's life. At the challenge it is a test of strength: The male on each team must hang upside down from a crane, holding their partner's arms as they dangle over water. Coral and Evan, yet again, choose the line-up and, yet again, target the Austin cast as they send Melinda and Ryan alongside Wes and Casey to be the first on the crane. Water becomes the main factor as each team's grip slowing breaks apart.
Ryan begins to feel his partner, Melinda, doesn't have her head in the game after she talks to Danny and confesses she would rather be with him at home than at the challenge. Team work is key at the next challenge as each team is handcuffed, shackled, and locked in a jail cell and must sift through several pales of "slop" using only their faces and mouths. Three keys must be found: two unlock their handcuffs and one unlocks the jail cell. Once released, they must sprint to the finish line.
Tina is full of opinions, calling Wes sexist and saying her partner Kenny is only here for fun and games. At the "Climber's Paradise" challenge each team must climb a wall while carrying a bag full of pegs for one another. The pegs will then be used to make it up the wall and two flags must be captured at the top to complete the mission. But there is a 10-minute time limit and falling off of the wall you means you are automatically disqualified.
The cast members decide to spice things up and have a costume extravaganza. Tonya lets loose and Johanna realizes that this challenge shouldn't come between her and Wes. They apologize to one another and Johanna tells him there will be no second chances. At the challenge it is a battle of oats as each team must sprint to a tub full of rolled oats, collect as many as possible, sprint over to another bucket, and drop off what they have collected in a matter of two minutes. The teams soon learn that the oats are just like quick sand and this won't be half as easy as expected.
While out on the town Tonya and Johnnie discuss how to work better with one another and Wes confesses to Johanna via phone that he feels alone at the challenge. Evan, on the other hand, finds out that he has an athletic hernia -- a torn muscle in his stomach -- and he fears what Coral will think. At the challenge each team must "cross paths": Starting at opposite ends of a rope that hangs 25 feet above water, they must get across the rope by passing one another and reaching the other side -- all without a harness!
With Tonya heading into Exile, she admits that she has three years of animosity built up toward Tina. Meanwhile, Linette finds herself forming more than just a crush on Theo when the two get close. At the challenge, each team must blow up an inflatable kayak, paddle it across the river, grab their flag, paddle back to shore, and then deflate and bag their kayak. The twist? Their hands and feet are not allowed outside of the kayak.
Tina and Kenny come away from a team meeting with an understanding that they need to avoid Exile at all costs -- and must work together more than they have been doing so far. The night before the challenge, Coral and Evan fear they are blending in and both feel they need to push for a first-place finish to keep the other teams from targeting them. Meanwhile, Evan is holding back a secret: he is suffering from a sports-related hernia. He is constant roaring pain and if his condition worsens, he could be forced to pull out of competition.
Evan finds his calling for the night when he enters a contest at a local club called Cheeky Monkey. The object of the contest is to blow up a condom to the point where it bursts. Believe it or not...Evan comes out the winner! Back at the house Wes is devising a plan to keep Katie and Eric around so he gives them advice to help them beat Tina and Kenny in the Exile. At the challenge the teams are divided into two large teams chosen by Shane and Linette and Theo and Chanda. Each team must pull an 850-pound sled full of hay.
Evan returns from the hospital with bad news: his hernia has a 99% chance of causing permanent damage if not healed properly. Coral joins him shortly after, knee cap back in place, but on crutches. The two decide to downplay their injuries in fear that the others will think they are weak and send them to Exile. On the other end of the house Diem, Linette and Aviv grow close and admit that they have each others backs.
Linette and Aviv talk to Diem about her decision to send Linette into Exile. They make Diem promise that she will not put Linette and Shane first for the mission the next day. Linette is trying not to get too attached to Theo because she fears that something will happen that she won't be able to control. The Fresh Meat cast is told to be ready by 8 am for their next challenge. Their challenge is called "Jump Down Under." They will have to jump off a 12-meter platform--the same height as a 4-story building--into the water, swim 20 feet, crawl up a giant raft, grab the flag and swim 30 feet to finish the challenge.
Diem admits to having a crush on Derrick, but she tries to ignore it because she needs to keep her head in the game. Tina is feeling sick, but Kenny tells her that the mission won't wait for her. And it won't--the message comes that they need to be ready by 5am. The next morning, they are informed of their challenge--Deep Blue. Four nautical miles off the coast of Australia, the teams have to dive 30 feet into the ocean to capture their team flag and hold their breath for as long as possible.

The Inferno 3 marked the show's first trilogy, the third of the Inferno series, continuing on from The Inferno and The Inferno II. Filming took place in Cape Town, South Africa, with cast members from The Real World, Road Rules and the Fresh Meat challenge competing. The teams were in the format of The Inferno II, "Good Guys" versus "Bad Asses." Contrary to the previous Inferno shows, the Lifesaver competitions have been limited to gender only winners, as for the male Inferno days, only males will be able to win it and vice versa. The season premiered on Tuesday April 10, 2007 on MTV. There were $400,000 in prizes.
Players from each team are tangled together from multiple ropes hanging from a platform 30 feet above the water. After grabbing a team flag, each player must untangle themselves and maneuver their way around their teammates before detaching from a harness that will drop them into the water. A team is disqualified if even one player is detached from their harness before untangling themselves. The team that properly untangles their entire team in the fastest time wins
Players from each team have to race a ladder up and down a two-story, 40-foot tower as fast as possible. First, each player will race 20 yards to the base of the tower, then use the ladder to climb to the second story, and raise their ladder to the stop of their designated towers in order to climb to the top. Next, each player will use their ladder as a "bridge" to advance from one tower to another, then race back down an adjacent tower by using their ladder to downclimb to the second story, and finally back to ground level, then race back 20 yards to the beginning of the course. One player at a time races against a player from the opposite team – guys vs. guys and girls vs. girls, with a 15-minute time limit. If a player drops a ladder, or falls off the ladder, a 2-minute penalty will be added to the team's slowest time. The team with the fastest combined time wins.
Things are really heating up this week with the first men's Inferno at hand. Tyrie is now the competitor for the Bad Asses after Abram, who received the life shield, decides not to go in.

For their challenge, they must hang upside-down from their ankles and gather puzzle pieces and put them together properly the fastest.
Susie brings the heat back to the Good Guys, as she shows the players how to fight dirty. Conniving to keep herself out of the Inferno, she asks Paula and Colie to take a back seat in the next group challenge, so she can win the life shield -- helping her secure a spot in the challenge, but possibly hurting her team. When some of the Good Guys gather around to talk about whom they should send into the Inferno if Susie gets the life shield, Rachel seems to be the most popular choice.
With one female member down, there's a storm brewing in Good Guys' camp. After last week's Inferno, and the departure of Rachel, its back to business as usual for both teams, which means partying till the late hours of the morning. When Johnny Bananas and Ace invade the bedrooms of some of their female teammates in the middle of the night, it causes Colie, Susie, and Cara to sound off the next day.
After literally smoking the Bad Asses during last week's "Rope Burn" challenge, the Good Guys now have three consecutive victories under their belt on Real World/Road Rules Challenge: Inferno 3. Meanwhile, at The Inferno deliberations, the Good Guys chose hothead Danny and the Bad Asses voted in Davis for the second time. Davis is feeling good about his odds against Danny in The Inferno. Plus, the Good Guys' Alton thinks getting Danny kicked off the Bad Asses is instrumental to the Good Guys winning the final $150,000 challenge.
Players from each team have to fill up a series of team-designated glass bottles with grape juice on one side of a course, by transferring handfuls of grapes from the bed of a classic truck to a wine tub, then smashing the grapes, which will send juice through a spigot, where players have to transfer the juice with their mouths to the glass bottles. The team that transfers the most juice into their designated bottles within 30 minutes wins.
Teams have to build walkways, by using three 8-foot logs for the girls on each team to advance from one platform to another that is separated by 60 feet. If a player falls off the logs, or uses their safety harness to catch their fall, a 15-minute disqualification will be added to their team time. The team that advances their girls from one platform to the other in the fastest average time wins.
Players have to advance on a series of five platforms, with trampolines located in between. Each platform decreases in size as each team tries to advance to the end. To start, one player at a time will jump from a trampoline to a platform, without their hands or arms coming in contact with the platform, which would result in a player having to start over. Once players from a team have made their way to the final platform, their team time will stop when they hold their pose for three seconds. The team that advances o the last platform in the fastest time wins. Note: Aneesa was prohibited from participating in this challenge due to a knee injury. As a result, the Good Guys were forced to sit out one player (Paula) in order to even out the teams.
Teams compete in a 50-yard dash, using dog sleds. The challenge is played in male/female pairs, with each pair dragging sleds with a male/female pair from the opposite team sitting on the sleds. The team that completes the challenge in the fastest average time wins. Note: Two girls from the Good Guys team (Paula and Susie) were required to compete twice, while two girls from the Bad Asses team (Aneesa and Jenn) were forced to sit out the challenge.
Teams have to race on a 300-yard railroad track on a "hand car." To start, two players per team will pump their hand car from one end of the track to the other and pick one teammate, then race back to the opposite end of the tracks and pick up another teammate, and the process will continue, until each team picks up all of their teammates, and reaches the stop zone. A hand car must come to a complete stop within the stopping zone before a teammate can climb into the hand car, and each player is required to pump the hand car least once throughout the challenge. The first team to pick up all of their teammates and reach the stop zone wins. Note: Since the Bad Asses had one more player than the Good Guys, one player from the Bad Asses team (Jenn) sat out this challenge.
Players from each team have to transfer hand-carved wooden giraffes across a lake, to one of 15 cages that contains an identical twin giraffe. There are numerous giraffes on the shore across the lake that are in different shapes and sizes, and before advancing across the lake, each player has to randomly uncover one of 15 cages at the start of the course that are covered with white tarps, then memorize the details of the caged wood-carved giraffe inside, then swim across the lake to find the identical matching twin, with a key that will unlock a player's designated cage at the start of the course. Each player will have a 30-minute time limit, and the team that completes the challenge in the fastest average time wins.
Players from each team are asked a series of ten trivia questions regarding information related to the Inferno 3 challenge. One girl from each team is designated by the opposing team as the "Captain," and will be strapped into an African throne, and be connected to designated electric shock boxes. T. J. Lavin will ask the remaining players from each team trivia questions. Each player will write down an answer on an oversize card, and if a player is correct, he/she accumulates points for their team, but if an answer is wrong, the captain will get "zapped." The team that accumulates the most points wins, and a team wins if the captain from the opposing team decide that she can no longer handle the shocks.
The male players on each team are positioned on opposite fishing boats, with each boat containing a deep-sea fishing pole. One girl per team will be in the water, attached to the ends of the fishing poles. Each girl will have 30 seconds to swim as far away as possible from the boats, then T. J. Lavin will signal one guy from each team to pick up the fishing poles, and try to reel in their female teammate out of the water. The process continues, until the team whose male players reel in all of their female teammates out of the water in the fastest average time wins.
Players from each team have to climb up a cargo net that is hanging from a platform above water, retrieve one team flag, then unhook a rope in order to swing themselves toward another cargo net and retrieve another flag. The process continues until a player retrieves four flags. If a player falls off the rope or the net into water, he/she will be imposed a time of 15 minutes. Each player will have a 15-minute time limit to retrieve four flags, and the team that completes the challenge in the fastest average time wins. Note: Tonya received a medical exemption from this challenge due to dehydration, and did not participate.
The final challenge revolved around the idea of "The Big Five".Contestant had to carry square tile puzzle pieces throughout the entire mission, accumulating more pieces along the way to complete bigger puzzles, each being a picture of an animal. The first puzzle is that of a water buffalo, after which each team has to swim across a lake with their puzzle pieces, before reaching the second puzzle station, which is a leopard. After the leopard puzzle station, each team must retrieve puzzle pieces by digging through a pit with a gurney at the bottom that will aid in each team carrying their respective puzzle pieces, before reaching the rhino puzzle station. The fourth puzzle station is that of an elephant. The remaining puzzle pieces for the final checkpoint — a lion puzzle station — are hanging overhead in a net, and players from each team must stay within a designated safe zone in order to untie the knots, which will release the pieces.
