Road Rules: All Sars is officially the first season to begin the Challenge series. Although originally intended as a short season of Road Rules, the idea behind All Stars was to put six former Real World castmembers in a Winnebago and have them travel around the world. If they got to the end of the series without quitting, they would win a handsome reward. This season started in Lake Placid, New York and ended in Key West, Florida.

Castmembers for this season included:

Host: David "Puck" Rainey aka Mr. Big: Real World: San Francisco

SEASON THE REAL WORLD: NAME
1 NEW YORK Eric Nies
2 LOS ANGELES Jon Brennan
3 SAN FRANCISCO Rachel Campos
5 MIAMI Cynthia Roberts
6 BOSTON Sean Duffy

Handsome Reward: A trip for two to Puerto Rico.
Status: Each castmember made it to the end to receive their handsome reward. However, Cynthia almost abruptly left after she was fooled into eating insects for a challenge.

Memorable Moments:

  • The Road Rules: Northern Trail cast handed off the keys to the winnebago after their season ended in Lake Placid, New York.
  • The cast "zorbing" in New Zealand.
  • One of the old elements of Road Rules that was carried onto this show was how the cast had all their money and credit cards taken away. The cast was so broke that they had to peddle for money on the streets of New Zealand.
  • Rachel refused to put on the Hot Dog on a Stick uniform in Venice Beach, California because it would upset her parents and demean her education.
  • Cynthia freaks out and demands to be sent home after eating insects that were cooked to look like gourmet food.
  • Sean and Rachel would meet for the first time to begin their relationship and eventual marriage on this season.

Trivia:

  • Eric originally felt insulted that Sean was asked to do the show. Sean was fresh off his appearance on the Boston season and Eric felt that Sean had not experienced enough of the notoriety of being on the Real World to be a part of this group.
  • Syrus Yarbrough of the Boston season had a strong desire to be on this show when they were approaching his cast to do this show. The producers' first choice was Sean.
  • While Rachel somewhat abhored Puck, her future husband Sean would get giddy when he would show up as Mr. Big. Apparently, Sean saw Puck as somewhat of a celebrity.
