Format[edit]
The competition consists of a series of team and individual challenges (sometimes called 'missions'), with an elimination challenge known as the 'Inferno.' At the end of each challenge, $10,000 is awarded to the winning team that will be banked into the team's bank account.[1]
Odd-numbered challenges are designated as team challenges (for the exception of Episode 15), while even-numbered challenges are designated as individual challenges. At the end of team challenges, one player from each team is nominated by the opposing team for the Inferno, depending on gender. If a gender-designated player who was nominated for the Inferno out-performs his/her respective teammates on the individual challenges, that player is awarded a Life Shield, and is required to replace himself/herself with a teammate of the same gender in the Inferno. If a player who was not nominated for the Inferno in a team challenge wins a Life Shield in the ensuing individual challenge, that player has the option as to whether or not to replace himself/herself in the Inferno with a teammate of the same gender. Each Inferno alternates between male and female.[1]
The winning players from the Inferno will rejoin their respective teams and stay in the game for a chance at a share of $150,000, coupled with the accumulated money earned from the team and individual challenges, while the losing players will be eliminated from the game.[1]
Gameplay[edit]
Challenge games[edit]
- Unbraided: Players from each team are tangled together from multiple ropes hanging from a platform 30 feet above the water. After grabbing a team flag, each player must untangle themselves and maneuver their way around their teammates before detaching from a harness that will drop them into the water. A team is disqualified if even one player is detached from their harness before untangling themselves. The team that properly untangles their entire team in the fastest time wins.[1]
- Winners: Bad Asses (Good Guys disqualified after Colie prematurely dropped into the water)
- Ladder Race: Players from each team have to race a ladder up and down a two-story, 40-foot tower as fast as possible. First, each player will race 20 yards to the base of the tower, then use the ladder to climb to the second story, and raise their ladder to the stop of their designated towers in order to climb to the top. Next, each player will use their ladder as a 'bridge' to advance from one tower to another, then race back down an adjacent tower by using their ladder to downclimb to the second story, and finally back to ground level, then race back 20 yards to the beginning of the course. One player at a time races against a player from the opposite team – guys vs. guys and girls vs. girls, with a 15-minute time limit. If a player drops a ladder, or falls off the ladder, a 2-minute penalty will be added to the team's slowest time. The team with the fastest combined time wins.[1]
- Winners: Bad Asses
- Life Shield Winners: Alton (Good Guys) — replaced Davis in the Inferno; Abram (Bad Asses) - Replaced himself with Tyrie in the Inferno
- Winners: Bad Asses
- Battering Ram: Each team must 'ram' an oversize log through a pair of 2-ton doors at the Castle of Good Hope that are locked with wooden planks on the other side. The logs have ropes attached to them, and players have to position themselves to where they can swing their log through the doors with the ropes, but without touching the logs. After 'ramming' through the doors, the first team to retrieve their team flag wins.[2]
- Winners: Good Guys
- Wrap and Roll: A 50-foot platform is suspended 1,000 feet above the ground. Played in male/female pairs, the girls from each team have to advance from one of the platform to the middle, where their male partner will be standing. A 20-foot rope is attached to each partner, and the girls have to wrap themselves in the rope in order to advance toward their male partner, then the guys have to twirl around to the other end of the platform, and the process will repeat until each partner has advanced to the opposite end. Players are disqualified if they touch the rope with their hands, their rope makes contact with the platform or they exceed a 10-minute time limit. The team that completes the challenge in the fastest average time wins. Note: Since the Bad Asses team was short one male player, Derrick had to compete twice.[3]
- Winners: Good Guys
- Life Shield Winner: Susie (Good Guys) — replaced herself with Rachel in the Inferno[c]
- Winners: Good Guys
- Rope Burn: A rope is attached from a fire pit to a platform suspended 15 feet above water. Below the platform are fire-building materials resting on a pair of docks, including oil, batteries, matches, logs and bales of hay. Six players from each team have to swim from the shore to the docks, and retrieve the fire-building materials over their heads without getting them wet, while the remaining three players from each team will try to sabotage their opponents by dumping buckets of water from the top of their platforms. The goal is for the players swimming from the shore to the middle of the platform to burn the ropes attached to their opponent's platform with the fire-building materials, which will drop their opponents into the water. The first team to drop their opponents into the lake wins.[4]
- Winners: Good Guys
- Reversible Climbing Wall: Played in male/female pairs, each team must scale up a 40-foot climbing wall, retrieve their team flag, then climb back down the wall to ground level. One player will be positioned on both sides of the wall, and will have to communicate with their partner by inserting pegs through holes in the wall in order for their partner to climb to the top and retrieve a flag. After the flag is retrieved, that player will pass the flag over the wall to their partner, who will have to scale down the wall, with their partner inserting pegs through the holes. A pair is disqualified if they fall off the wall, or drop their team flag. The team with the fastest accumulated time wins. Note: One girl from the Bad Asses team (Aneesa) sat out this challenge, while one girl from the Good Guys team (Colie) had to compete twice.[5]
- Winners: Bad Asses
- Life Shield Winners: John (Good Guys) and Abram (Bad Asses)
- Winners: Bad Asses
- Grape Smash: Players from each team have to fill up a series of team-designated glass bottles with grape juice on one side of a course, by transferring handfuls of grapes from the bed of a classic truck to a wine tub, then smashing the grapes, which will send juice through a spigot, where players have to transfer the juice with their mouths to the glass bottles. The team that transfers the most juice into their designated bottles within 30 minutes wins. Note: Host T. J. Lavin explained to each team that each player was required to wear speedos and bikinis, resulting in Ace, Alton and Timmy refusing to participate.[6]
- Winners: Bad Asses
- Steady As You Go: Teams have to build walkways, by using three 8-foot logs for the girls on each team to advance from one platform to another that is separated by 60 feet. If a player falls off the logs, or uses their safety harness to catch their fall, a 15-minute disqualification will be added to their team time. The team that advances their girls from one platform to the other in the fastest average time wins.[7]
- Winners: Good Guys
- Life Shield Winners: Susie (Good Guys) — replaced herself with Colie in the Inferno; Tonya (Bad Asses)
- Winners: Good Guys
- Leaps and Bounds: Players have to advance on a series of five platforms, with trampolines located in between. Each platform decreases in size as each team tries to advance to the end. To start, one player at a time will jump from a trampoline to a platform, without their hands or arms coming in contact with the platform, which would result in a player having to start over. Once players from a team have made their way to the final platform, their team time will stop when they hold their pose for three seconds. The team that advances o the last platform in the fastest time wins. Note: Aneesa was prohibited from participating in this challenge due to a knee injury. As a result, the Good Guys were forced to sit out one player (Paula) in order to even out the teams.[8]
- Winners: Bad Asses
- Dog Day Afternoon: Teams compete in a 50-yard dash, using dog sleds. The challenge is played in male/female pairs, with each pair dragging sleds with a male/female pair from the opposite team sitting on the sleds. The team that completes the challenge in the fastest average time wins. Note: Two girls from the Good Guys team (Paula and Susie) were required to compete twice, while two girls from the Bad Asses team (Aneesa and Jenn) were forced to sit out the challenge.[9]
- Winners: Bad Asses
- Life Shield Winners: Ace (Good Guys) — replaced himself with Timmy in the Inferno; Kenny (Bad Asses) — replaced himself with Abram in the Inferno
- Winners: Bad Asses
- Hand Car: Teams have to race on a 300-yard railroad track on a 'hand car.' To start, two players per team will pump their hand car from one end of the track to the other and pick one teammate, then race back to the opposite end of the tracks and pick up another teammate, and the process will continue, until each team picks up all of their teammates, and reaches the stop zone. A hand car must come to a complete stop within the stopping zone before a teammate can climb into the hand car, and each player is required to pump the hand car least once throughout the challenge. The first team to pick up all of their teammates and reach the stop zone wins. Note: Since the Bad Asses had one more player than the Good Guys, one player from the Bad Asses team (Jenn) sat out this challenge.[10]
- Winners: Good Guys
- Giraffic Park: Players from each team have to transfer hand-carved wooden giraffes across a lake, to one of 15 cages that contains an identical twin giraffe. There are numerous giraffes on the shore across the lake that are in different shapes and sizes, and before advancing across the lake, each player has to randomly uncover one of 15 cages at the start of the course that are covered with white tarps, then memorize the details of the caged wood-carved giraffe inside, then swim across the lake to find the identical matching twin, with a key that will unlock a player's designated cage at the start of the course. Each player will have a 30-minute time limit, and the team that completes the challenge in the fastest average time wins.[11]
- Winners: Good Guys
- Life Shield Winners: Paula (Good Guys) and Janelle (Bad Asses)
- Winners: Good Guys
- Captain's Chair: Players from each team are asked a series of ten trivia questions regarding information related to the Inferno 3 challenge. One girl from each team is designated by the opposing team as the 'Captain,' and will be strapped into an African throne, and be connected to designated electric shock boxes. T. J. Lavin will ask the remaining players from each team trivia questions. Each player will write down an answer on an oversize card, and if a player is correct, he/she accumulates points for their team, but if an answer is wrong, the captain will get 'zapped.' The team that accumulates the most points wins, and a team wins if the captain from the opposing team decide that she can no longer handle the shocks.[12]
- Winners: Bad Asses
- Hook Me: The male players on each team are positioned on opposite fishing boats, with each boat containing a deep-sea fishing pole. One girl per team will be in the water, attached to the ends of the fishing poles. Each girl will have 30 seconds to swim as far away as possible from the boats, then T. J. Lavin will signal one guy from each team to pick up the fishing poles, and try to reel in their female teammate out of the water. The process continues, until the team whose male players reel in all of their female teammates out of the water in the fastest average time wins.[13]
- Winners: Bad Asses
- Life Shield Winners: John (Good Guys) and Kenny (Bad Asses)
- Winners: Bad Asses
- Nothin' But Net: Players from each team have to climb up a cargo net that is hanging from a platform above water, retrieve one team flag, then unhook a rope in order to swing themselves toward another cargo net and retrieve another flag. The process continues until a player retrieves four flags. If a player falls off the rope or the net into water, he/she will be imposed a time of 15 minutes. Each player will have a 15-minute time limit to retrieve four flags, and the team that completes the challenge in the fastest average time wins. Note: Tonya received a medical exemption from this challenge due to dehydration, and did not participate.[14]

Inferno games[edit]
- Alton and Tyrie: Head Rush
The men hang upside down by their ankles and must swing around collecting puzzle pieces. They must then construct the puzzle correctly.[2] - Rachel and Jenn: Ejection
Both opponents must use jousting sticks to hit each other's targets—which in turn causes their opponent's platform to tilt 15 degrees each time the target is hit, until the opponent falls off. The first person to knock their opponent off three times wins.[3] - Davis and Danny: Watch Your Back
A game of tag that takes place on a platform with four ladders. Davis starts on top of the platform and Danny starts on the floor. When T. J. Lavin blows the whistle, they have to chase each other until one of them either tags or passes the other. The first person to score twice wins and the loser will be sent packing.[5] - Colie and Jenn: Spokesmodel
Jenn and Colie climb to the top of a giant wheel; once T. J. sounds his air horn the wheel begins to spin, the longer the two girls remain on the wheel, the faster it will spin. The girl that remains on the wheel for the longest amount of time will be the winner.[7] - Timmy and Abram: Smash House
In this Inferno both contestants are given a metal ring and placed in a three glass boxes, each one smaller than the next, that are suspended in mid air. After the start is announced, both contestants must race against each other in order to break all of the different panes of glass, the contestant who can achieve this fastest is the winner. Following the Inferno, Timmy announced that he would be retiring from the challenges, saying that he is passing the torch. A montage of Timmy's time on 'Road Rules 2' and several challenges was shown.[9] - Susie and Jenn: Zero Gravity
Both girls are put into harnesses that are attached to seventy-five-percent of their weight, making it very easy to climb the ladder, but very difficult to come down. At the top of the ladder there are eight flags; the first team member to get four of the eight flags attached at the bottom of the ladder is the winner.[11] - Davis and Derrick: Corner Ball
Each person stood on opposite sides of a wall that was 9 feet long and in a triangle with a rugby ball in between them. Once T. J. says go, they both go for the ball and try to get the ball to the other person's side of the wall. The first person to get 3 of the rugby balls to the other person's side is the winner.[13] - Paula and Aneesa: Shimmy
The opponents must shimmy up between walls, ripping off team flags along the way. The first one to rip off the flag at the top of the walls wins.[14]
The final challenge[edit]
The final challenge revolved around the idea of 'The Big Five', which is a reference to the top five animals for hunting in the region. Contestant had to carry square tile puzzle pieces throughout the entire mission, accumulating more pieces along the way to complete bigger puzzles, each being a picture of an animal. The first puzzle is that of a water buffalo, after which each team has to swim across a lake with their puzzle pieces, before reaching the second puzzle station, which is a leopard. After the leopard puzzle station, each team must retrieve puzzle pieces by digging through a pit with a gurney at the bottom that will aid in each team carrying their respective puzzle pieces, before reaching the rhino puzzle station. The fourth puzzle station is that of an elephant. The remaining puzzle pieces for the final checkpoint — a lion puzzle station — are hanging overhead in a net, and players from each team must stay within a designated safe zone in order to untie the knots, which will release the pieces. After each team solves their final puzzle, they will no longer be required to carry any puzzle pieces to the finish line.[15]
In the end, the Bad Asses emerged victorious, winning an additional $150,000 on top of the $90,000 that they earned in the previous missions, for a grand total of $240,000, while the Good Guys earned $60,000. Defeating the Good Guys, Derrick Kosinski and Tonya Cooley finally took home their first win. Kosinski and Cooley participated in five prior challenges, two of which Kosinski was eliminated the day before the final challenge and one where Cooley was in the finals only.[15]

Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Inferno is the 8th season of the MTVreality game show, The Challenge (at the time known as Real World/Road Rules Challenge).The season is directly subsequent to The Gauntlet.
The Inferno aired in 2004. The season was composed of twenty cast members, and took place in Acapulco, Mexico. In this challenge, the winning teams would receive a prize at the end of each mission. They would then nominate two players from their team to the Inferno elimination challenge. Unlike The Gauntlet, there would be another challenge with an immunity life-saver up for grabs before the Inferno. Each team then selected one of the two nominees from the opposing team to go into the Inferno.
This is the first edition of The Inferno series, with The Inferno II and The Inferno 3 following in 2005 and 2007, respectively.

Reunion special[edit]
The reunion special, Montezuma's Revenge: Inside the Inferno, was aired on May 31, 2004, featuring the finalists and was hosted by VJ La La Vazquez.
Memorable moments[edit]
- Piggy from Road Rules: Down Under arrived to compete in The Inferno and can be seen in both footage and photos from the cast's arrival. Soon after arriving, she left to go home and was consequently never mentioned. Christena was flown in to replace her. The title credits reflect this, as they were filmed when Piggy was there and Christena's scenes were shot later. The official reason for her departure has been cited as 'family reasons', but according to Norman Korpi's website she had an OD.[1]
- Katie went into two Infernos and won both, eliminating a male player (David) in the process. She crowned herself 'Inferno Queen'.
- CT used his life-saver to save his friend David, then sent Shane home in the Inferno.
- Leah had to be taken to a hospital because she hyperventilated during a challenge.
- The Road Rules team won every female Inferno and all five females made it to the final.
- A feud broke out between Katie and Veronica, and there was tension between the two throughout the entire show. The rivalry culminated in a very heated shouting match the night before the final mission, and the two almost came to blows.
- Being fed up with what she perceived as bullying, Julie lashed out at Coral and challenged her to a wrestling match, to which Coral remarked, 'I don't wrestle, I f*cking beat bitches up!'
- During the Kendal and Leah Inferno, Mike openly berated Kendal, sparking an argument between Katie and Veronica. CT then denounced Leah as weak, and David jumped in the Inferno nude.
- The first mission had the challengers on a zipline. In an attempt to secure a Real World win, Julie began to yank on Veronica's safety harness, sending Veronica and the rest of the challengers into a panic.
- After Trishelle claimed she would physically assault them in a jealous tirade, Coral and Mike voted her into the Inferno, which would result in an argument between Coral and Trishelle later that night.
- Coral became infuriated with her team when they forced her to pick Veronica for the final Inferno. She won the Life Saver at the next challenge, sparing herself from the inferno.
- The 'Bird Feeder' mission saw challengers dress up in chicken suits.
- Julie accused Coral of throwing Mallory under the bus following an Inferno deliberation.
- The Real World called Katie their mascot after she performed poorly in the 'Balls Out' mission.
- Christena informed Katie of the Road Rules team's plan to guarantee her the Life Saver and have Katie thrown into the inferno. To ensure her safety, Katie, to the shock of her teammates, held her arms up for longer than Christena, sparing herself from the inferno. When Katie subsequently quit, she dumped her bucket on arch-rival Veronica.
- Julie was insistent that Coral was a weak player, in spite of the fact that Coral outperformed her in the majority of the missions, as CT asserted. When it came to the end of the game, when Julie said it would be time for strong players like herself to go in, Julie attempted to have Coral nominated a second time instead of herself. The team went against her and then forced her to pick Veronica over Katie, which led to Julie's infamous fight with Coral.
- CT bluntly told Leah she was a weak player and that they would do whatever necessary to send her home before the final, which hurt Leah's feelings. CT eventually assisted in the scheme to get David the Life Saver, and Leah was successfully ousted from the game.
- David routinely performed lazily and badly, even spending the Come Sail Away challenge relaxing in a chair.
