Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Island

Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Island was the sixteenth season of the reality television competition series, Real World/Road Rules Challenge, which aired on the American cable tv network MTV. It premiered on September 10, 2008 at 10pm ET/PT. Like previous seasons of the Challenge, it featured cast members from various past seasons of The Real World and Road Rules, of which the Challenge was a spinoff. This season featured the group being "stranded" on an island off the coast of Panama, where the cast competed for a buried treasure chest filled with $300,000 USD in gold. Unlike in previous Challenges, the cast was not housed in a luxurious dwelling, but was "forced" to improvise and "work" for the basic necessities of food and shelter, as on the TV series Survivor. Unlike previous Challenges, there were no predetermined teams. Instead, the cast members had to forge their own alliances. Of the twenty cast members, there were only four winners.

Memorable Moments

• KellyAnne, who was perceived to be a "weak rookie" in the game, proved everyone wrong after beating out both veterans Rachel and Robin during the first girls-only face-off.
• Dave could not handle "The Island" and left on his own terms. Also, Ashli "quit" after almost severing her toe and wanted to "leave the game with pride."
• It is possible to get more than one key in the game. Abram attempted to get another key because it "sounded fun".
• Dan has been shown to have a drinking problem, which leads to Dave calling him a weak player. Dan flips out and almost attacks Dave.
• Abram goes up to get fruit up in a tree, when all of a sudden a swarm of wasps start attacking him as he runs all over the place to get rid of them. He was stung just about all over his body.
• Rachel and Jenn begin to fall for each other and are seen making out with each other multiple different times. Jenn describes her as a friend 'til the end.
• This marks the first challenge in 3 years that Rachel competed in.
• After all eight keys were given, the winners would have to steal keys from other keyholders.
• Tensions have risen between Ev and Johnny, and they have constantly fought with each other and gone into face-offs so they could steal the other's key.
• After it was official that Ev would be in the face off, Kenny struck a deal with Ev; If she won the face-off and she took Dunbar's key, Kenny, Johnny and Derrick would accept her in their final group for the boat, throwing Dunbar and Paula under the bus. Ev accepted the deal and took Dunbar's key at the last key ceremony. Paula found out at the ceremony was upset after being backstabbed by her allaince.
