You have new messages (last change).

The Extreme Challenge was the third and last six-team Challenge. The casts were split up into two different six-person teams, one representing Real World and the other representing Road Rules. The teams traveled via tour bus in the eastern US and Europe competing in different individual challenges. Each time a team won an individual challenge, money would be added to a 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.

Castmembers for this season included:

Host: Ramona Gray from Survivor: Borneo

REAL WORLD ROAD RULES
Dan Renzi Real World: Miami
 Christian Breivik Road Rules: USA Second Adventure
Julie Stoffer Real World: New Orleans
 Emily Bailey Road Rules: USA Second Adventure
Jamie Murray Real World: New Orleans
 Laterrian Wallace Road Rules: Maximum Velocity Tour
Kameelah Phillips Real World: Boston
 James Orlando Road Rules: Maximum Velocity Tour
Rebecca Lord Real World: Seattle
 Michelle Parma Road Rules: Europe
Syrus Yarbrough Real World: Boston
 Ayanna Mackins Road Rules: Semester At Sea*
Susie Meister Road Rules: Australia*
  • Susie Meister replaced Ayanna Mackins when the teams arrived in Boston. Ayanna physically attacked Christian in the Road Rules bus after Christian made a joke to Laterrian that was perceived by Ayanna to be racist. Although the cameras didn't capture the incident and Christian didn't want to send Ayanna home, producers asked Ayanna to leave. Susie replaced Ayanna when their casts received their next clue at the Boston firehouse where the sixth season of the Real World took place. The Road Rules team later admitted on the reunion that Ayanna was a more valuable physical asset than Susie.

End Status: Team Real World wins their first challenge ever. Both teams took home a profit from their E*Trade Challenge.

Memorable Moments:

  • Rebecca and James begin a relationship while on the show.
  • Julie's first appearance on a Challenge, which marks an aggressive, competitive side to her, which stuns much of the cast and the audience. Eventually, she becomes known less for her Mormon background and increasingly for her competitive streak on the Challenges.
    • The episode entitled Couple Fashion Show featured both teams having to dress up as famous duos in a fetish club. Julie had an emotional breakdown when hearing about the task, because she felt it would conflict with her Mormon beliefs and embarrass her family. She received encouragement from her teammates and ended up performing (And winning) in the mission. Although it is unknown why, this episode has never been aired upon its original airdate [1]
  • It was on this show that Julie learns that she is in fact being kicked out of Brigham Young University for appearing on the New Orleans season of the Real World.
  • Michelle Parma's last appearance on a Bunim-Murray show before being killed in a car crash several years later.
  • This was the first challenge that the Real World team has won.
  • A mission was hosted by LL Cool J and Chris Klein. That mission involved doing a stunt similar to those done in Rollerball, which was being filmed at the time. Christian won this mission, and ended up winning a cameo in the film (He is uncredited for his role in the film).
