Real World/Road Rules Extreme Challenge is the fourth season of the MTV reality game show, The Challenge (at the time known as Real World/Road Rules Challenge).
Extreme Challenge is the third and final six-on-six Real World/Road Rules Challenge. The cast was split up into two different six-person teams, one representing The Real World and the other representing Road 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 a Monster.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.
Cast
This was the only season without a regular alumni host/presenter introducing each challenge. Instead, various alumni provided audio clues.

Episodes
Reunion special
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.
Notes
- ^ a b c Susie replaced Ayanna in Episode 7 when the teams arrived in Boston. Ayanna physically attacked Christian in the Road Rules bus after Christian made a joke to Laterrian that Ayanna perceived to be racist. Though the cameras did not capture the incident, and Christian did not want to send Ayanna home, the producers asked Ayanna to leave in episode 6. Susie replaced Ayanna when their casts received their next clue at the Real World: Boston house. The Road Rules team later admitted on the reunion that Ayanna was a more valuable physical asset than Susie.
- ^ In episode 15, a dispute over the Operation Human Shield mission caused an intense argument between James and Syrus. Neither team was awarded $10,000 at the end of that mission, but in episode 16, both teams got the chance to defend their actions in court on the set of Judge Mills Lane. Road Rules, with the exception of Laterrian, decides not to participate, so the judge, Mills Lane, granted the money to the Real World, although he acknowledged Laterrian for his admirable defense.
- ^ Laterrian was honored by the judge and received a small gavel as a token, but there was no official MVP for this mission.
- ^ In Episode 8, the mission had the contestants compete with three Real World cast members and three Road Rules cast members on two different teams. The Yellow team consisting of Christian, Dan, Emily, James, Julie, and Rebecca won the mission and were awarded with $1,000 in cash for each of them.
