Road Rules: The Quest
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Quest season of Road Rules first aired on MTV in 2001. In the tenth edition of the popular reality series, six strangers were chosen to compete in missions, while living in a Winnebago RV. In this particular season, the contestants drove their Winnebago to missions in Morocco and Spain.
[edit] Cast
- Adam Larson
- Blair Herter
- Ellen Cho
- Jisela Delgado
- Katie Doyle
- Steve Meinke
- Sophia Pasquis
This was the first season in which the Road Rules team had to vote off a contestant, as punishment for losing two consecutive missions. Jisela was voted out and Katie Doyle took her place.
[edit] Memorable Moments
- On one of the first mission, Ellen had rocks thrown at her by residents of Marrakech. Adam tried to tell Ellen that it was because she was wearing shorts (considered revealing clothing in an Islamic country), which led Ellen to reveal that she had been raped and hadn't fully come to terms with it.
- Adam and Jisela got into a fight while staying at a hotel after a mission.
- After faltering in a mid-air challenge, Jisela had become apparent to the group as the weak link. Due to her fear of heights, Jisela froze during a rock-climbing mission in southern Spain, and the other contestants were forced to vote her off. Katie, who was an alternate from the season's casting special, replaced Jisela and joined the group in Spain.
- After Jisela was kicked off, Sophia made phone calls to Jisela using a pseudonym so the rest of the cast wouldn't know that she was still speaking to her.
- Katie tells Adam off after she joins the cast and Adam tries to force her to fall in line under his leadership.
- Adam and Ellen are in a rocky relationship throughout the entire season, which causes a few arguments between them.
[edit] Trivia
- Katie knew the castmembers because she spent a week living with them and the cast of the The Real World: Back to New York during casting in Palm Springs. In the rolling credits of the casting special, they showed Katie telling the cameras that if they needed her, that she would be willing and available to go on the shows. This led to widespread speculation that she would eventually end up on Road Rules after a castmember would be kicked off.
