    I Believe The Real World Road Rules Challenges should continue a very long time, because no matter how many seasons past, it never gets boring....

    This show is about people from the Real World and Road Rules compete each other. First of all they get to the place where they meet the host and then the host gives them instructions of how everything is going to do in each season. Each season is different by the rules and how some people will be eliminated. The Real World/Road Rules people have to do good on challenges to prevent them from leaving the place that they are in. The big prize is a whole lot of money and if one person is sent home they don't win any money so it's important for them to stay in the game. Overall, this is a really great reality show because there is action, drama, and a few other stuff that may interest you so if you like game shows and reality shows then this might be a good show for you.moreless

  • Its the Real Worlder's vs. the defunct Road Rulers every year there is a new twist on the show or some new rules.

    The famous challenge show started as a rivalry between the 2 MTV shows Real World and Road Rules now its changed. The shows combined to either challenge member against each other, battle of the sexes or even challenge vets against rookies and one year they even brought in people who had nothing to do with either show the fresh meat. (Personally that was the dumbest thing to do some of the fresh meat people are terrible.) Every year there is either new rules to the challenges that make it more interesting and elmiminations and new gauntlet challenges which are cool to see. The drama is all there and every year the show is cast with more people who cause drama. Cant wait for the next season full of drama filled people and cant wait to see who wins the next challenge either.moreless

  • just what the drama docter ordered.

    It combines athletic ability and reality television, this is just what the drama docter ordered. The Real World / Road Rules Challenge its better than the real world or road rules. i enjoy watching this show to see which contestants come back from the Real World and Road Rules. I enjoy seeing the drama behind people who couldn't stand each other on their season or other seasons when they are forced to live under the same roof again. So in general I really like the challenges. I like watching people come up with the best strategy to help themselves or their team win.moreless
