The teams traveled via tour bus in the eastern U.S. and Europe competing in different challenges.
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.
The reunion special, Real World/Road Rules Extreme Challenge: Cease Fire, aired after the season finale and was attended by the entire cast.
It was hosted by Melissa Howard from The Real World: New Orleans and Mark Long from Road Rules: USA – The First Adventure.
