Road rules all stars ep05


Road Rules: All Stars is the first season of the MTV reality game show, The Challenge. Unlike later seasons, the show followed alumni of The Real World as they went on a typical Road Rules-type adventure around the United States in a non-competitive format. It is the only season without the term Challenge in its title. The season premiered on June 1, 1998.

Format

Much like the original format of Road Rules, five alumni from past seasons of The Real World were brought together to participate in a series of missions as they traveled across the United States and New Zealand in a Winnebago. Unlike following seasons of Real World/Road Rules Challenge, this season only consisted of cast members from The Real World, and was made up of a much smaller cast. Again as with Road Rules, all of the cast's cash and credit cards were confiscated for the duration of the series, and if the participants completed all the assignments, they would win a "handsome reward". At the end of the series, each cast member won a trip for two to Costa Rica.

Cast

Mr. Big: David "Puck" Rainey from The Real World: San Francisco

Missions

  • Prove Existence of Ghosts: (Monroe, Connecticut) The cast must spend the night in an abandoned mental hospital and prove that there are ghosts living in there.
  • Sheep Shearing / Cow Milking: (Wellington, New Zealand) The first part of the task has the cast gathering a herd of sheep, holding them down and then shearing their wool. The second part of the task has the women milking cows via a special machine that sucks out the milk.
  • Fly By Wire: (Wellington) Each of the cast mates will have to fly on a fan-propelled rocket that is attached to a wire between two mountains.
  • Zorbing: (Auckland, New Zealand) Each of the cast mates face off against each other in giant hamster balls and race down a steep hill. The winner will be given $150.
  • Urban Rap: (Auckland) The cast are tasked to jump down the side of a building, wearing a harness. The mission is only considered complete if everyone participates.
  • Hot Dog on a Stick: (Los Angeles, California) The cast have to work a full day at "Hot Dog on a Stick".
  • Cook Off: (Los Angeles) The men and women compete against each other in a "cook off" and have two hours to present the other team a meal.
  • Improv Performers: (Los Angeles) The cast are instructed to act in an improve performance called "Cookin' with Gas".
  • Record a Song: (Los Angeles) The cast were instructed several days prior to write a theme song for Road Rules: All Stars and are instructed that they will all be recording the song.
  • Memorable moments

  • In the first mission, the men played a prank on the girls by pretending to be ghosts by waving their flashlights and making eerie noises. They then stripped to their boxers and ran around the mental hospital.
  • Rachel and Sean developed feelings for each other on the show. They would eventually get married and have eight children. Sean would go on to serve as district attorney of Ashland County, Wisconsin and the U.S. Representative for Wisconsin's 7th congressional district as a member of the Republican Party.
  • Eric got into a huge fight with Rachel, Sean, and Cynthia after he wanted to stay at the "Zorbing" task a little longer, which resulted in him wanting to leave the Winnebago to join them later in Auckland for the next task. This also led to Rachel and Cynthia getting into an argument over who "inflated Eric's ego".
  • During one mission, Rachel was embarrassed to participate because the costume she had to wear made her look ridiculous. After thinking things over, she eventually wore the hot dog suit and completed the task.
  • The cast stayed over at The Real World: Los Angeles alum Beth Stolarczyk's house where Beth proceeded to aggressively flirt with Sean, though Sean did not return her advances. Rachel later admitted that she was not bothered by the flirting and even enjoyed "watching Sean squirm".
  • The men had to create a soup made entirely of insects and feed it to the women. When Rachel and Cynthia discovered this, they were both horrified and disgusted with Cynthia threatening to leave the show.
  • For one of the improv skits, audience members chose a cast mate from their respective season for each member to perform. Eric played "Kevin", Jon played "Dominic", Rachel played "Puck", Cynthia played "Flora" and Sean played "Syrus".
  • By the end of the challenge, each cast member won a trip for two to San José, Costa Rica.
