Real World/Road Rules Extreme Challenge is the fourth season of theMTVreality game show,The Challenge (at the time known asReal World/Road Rules Challenge).
Extreme Challenge is the third and final six-on-sixReal World/Road Rules Challenge. The cast was split up into two different six-person teams, one representingThe Real World and the other representingRoad Rules. The teams traveled via tour bus in the eastern U.S. and Europe competing in different challenges. Each time a team won an individual challenge, money would be added to aMonster.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.
