Season chronology

Road Rules: The Quest is the tenth season of the MTV reality television series Road Rules . It first aired on MTV in 2001, and featured six strangers chosen to compete in missions, while living in a RV. In this particular season, the contestants drove their RV to missions in Morocco and Spain, with a final mission in the United States. The season also was the first to have a rule where the cast would potentially have to vote a cast member off if the cast failed to meet a certain set of rules pertaining to successful missions completed.

This season of Road Rules was the first and only season to be preceded by a casting special in which 27 [1] potential cast members for the tenth season of both The Real World and Road Rules spent time together for a week to see how they interacted to be selected for one of the two shows.
