The ChallengeChallenge 2000

11 episodes · Jan 17, 2000

Get ready for *Real World/Road Rules Challenge 2000*, the third installment of MTV’s iconic competition series! Picking up right where the last season left off, this one pits two new teams of six against each other in a cross-country battle for bragging rights and serious cash. The adventure kicks off in Las Vegas and winds its way across the eastern U.S., culminating in Miami, Florida. Each week, individual challenges test the competitors' limits – with victory earning a cool $10,000 per team. But it’s not just about winning; each triumphant team gets to put that money to work, investing in stocks through E-Trade, hoping to grow their winnings! The ultimate prize? Not only the accumulated stock market gains, but also a final showdown for control of a substantial cash pot, an extra bonus, and a brand new car. Adding another layer of complexity, this season throws in a unique twist: both teams commit to quitting smoking throughout filming. One slip-up from any cast member – a single puff caught on camera – and their entire team faces the consequences.
