Real World/Road Rules Extreme Challenge is the 4th season of the MTV reality game show, The Challenge (at the time known as Real World/Road Rules 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 on 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 a Monster.com team bank account. The last mission would be for the right to keep the money collected in the pot, an additional cash prize, and a car.
This was the only season without a regular alumni host/presenter introducing each challenge. Instead, various alumni provided audio clues.
Team Real World wins their first challenge ever.
The reunion special, Real World/Road Rules Extreme Challenge: Cease Fire, was aired after the season finale and was attended by the entire cast and was hosted by Melissa Howard from The Real World: New Orleans and Mark Long from Road Rules: USA – The First Adventure.
