Road Rules: Northern Trail is the fifth season of the MTV reality television series Road Rules. It took place along the northern border of the United States, often landing the cast in parts of Canada.

Contents

Cast

This is the first season to have six cast members on Road Rules.

  • ^Note 1 : At time of filming.

    • Memorable Moments

  • Kalle and Jake, from the Road Rules Islands cast, kidnaps the cast to take them to their first mission. They catch various castmembers in compromising situations. Roni is at her high school prom, Jon is putting on his mesh tank top, and Tara is asleep at her sorority house at UCLA (MTV shows the Greek letters of the supposed sorority house, however the letters they shown are those of Sigma Chi Fraternity).
  • The cast performs the first six-person bungee jump ever.
  • The RV is robbed while the cast is staying in the hotel. Most of the cast had their clothes and Road Rules backpacks stolen. Noah lost his guitars.
  • While in New York City, Roni's hometown, the cast, with the exception of Noah, chooses not to meet her family and friends, instead opting to go out to party. While Roni already felt ostracized by the group, this provokes her into a tirade against her fellow castmembers.
  • Dan and Tara hook-up during the entire season, which causes awkward moments when the cast stays at Dan's home in Apple Valley, Minnesota. The two admit during a truth or dare session that they had sex during the trip.
  • During the same truth or dare session, Jon admits that he has a temper problem that he covered up with his awkward, goofy personality.

    • Trivia

  • Tara believed so much that she wouldn't be cast, when the production crew told her to pack her bags "just in case", she didn't listen.
  • This cast used the same RV as the Road Rules: All Stars cast.
  • This is the first season of Road Rules with 6 Roadies, rather than the usual 5.
  • Jon Holmes later became a writer for the videogame website Destructoid, the creator of the Machinima series Teenage Pokémon, a host of The Dismal Jesters podcast.

    • Subsequent Challenges

  • Challenge in bold indicates that the contestant was a finalist on The Challenge.
