Extreme Challenge

2001-01-09

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.

Episode 2

Blimp Water-Skiing

2001-01-16 • 19 min

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.

Episode 3

Wharf Games

2001-01-23 • 20 min

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.
