Season chronology |
Real World/Road Rules Challenge 2000 is the third season of the MTV reality game show The Challenge (at the time known as Real World/Road Rules Challenge).
Real World/Road Rules Challenge 2000 is the second six-on-six The Challenge in the series. The teams traveled via tour bus starting in Las Vegas, Nevada then moving to the eastern U.S., ending in Miami, Florida after competing in different individual challenges. Each time a team won an individual challenge, they won $10,000. After each mission won, the winning team would invest those 10K in the product of their choice through E-Trade. At the end, the winning team also won any money won in the stock market. The last mission would be for the right to keep the money collected in the pot, an additional cash prize and a car. This season also featured an additional challenge where the two teams had to give up smoking for the duration of filming. If any cast member on either team were caught smoking, their cast would lose the additional challenge.
Ms. Big: Gladys Sanabria from Road Rules: Latin America

They're also told that if any cast members leave, their team is disqualified, which draws concerns from Road Rules about Los's dedication. After lasting 34 hours, David costs the Real World team the mission when he falls asleep while holding the ball, allowing it to stop for 20 seconds. Meanwhile, the Road Rules team cleverly set up a contraption that allowed the ball to move with the air conditioning system while the team gets to sleep.
