The Challenge: Fresh Meat II is the 19th season of the MTV reality game show, The Challenge. Fresh Meat II marked the second time in which the show was renamed (1st time in season 2), no longer using Real World/Road Rules as the main title, but simply The Challenge (though host T. J. Lavin used "Real World/Road Rules Challenge" on the first episode in speaking to the contestants).

Fresh Meat II is the sequel to the show's 12th season, Fresh Meat. Continuing with the precursor's advent of original contestants, Fresh Meat II also introduced a slew of previously unknown contestants who had never appeared on either The Real World or Road Rules.

Filmed in Whistler, British Columbia, Fresh Meat II featured two-player teams; each team had an alumnus of The Real World, Road Rules, or the original Fresh Meat, partnered with a newcomer of the opposite gender to The Challenge (collectively known as the new "Fresh Meat").

A "Meet the Meat" special premiered on March 31, 2010. The season premiered on April 7, 2010, and concluded on June 9, 2010, with the reunion show.

Host: T. J. Lavin, BMX rider

Fresh Meat II follows the same format as the original Fresh Meat season (click here for further information), with the following difference: Teams do not participate in a follow-up challenge prior to the Exile elimination. Therefore, the teams that are selected for Exile do not have a chance to win a pardon and replace themselves with a non-winning team from the previous mission, as was the case in original Fresh Meat.
