"The Challenge" Extreme Challenge: Race to the Finish (TV Episode 2001) ⭐ 6.8 | Action, Adventure, Game-Show (original) (raw)

Surprisingly enjoyable...

...If only 'cause you get to watch the cast members you dislike the most being completely and utterly humiliated, week in and week out.

The "Challenge" takes two teams (one comprised of former fan-favorite Real World cast members, the other made up of former fan-favorite Road Rules cast members) and pits them against each other in a series of somewhat "extreme" sporting events. The fact that the team members are chosen by their popularity level instead of their athletic prowess makes the whole thing A LOT more fun to watch.

The current season has featured events such as tight-rope walking, "extreme" in-line skating (which earned Christian Breivik a part in the new Rollerball movie), and mud wrestling.

Folks, if you have a "most hated" list of MTV camera whores, by all means, watch this show. Few things in life are as therapeutical as watching these spoiled brats fall flat on their faces, slam into walls, and have their mugs rubbed in a mud pit.
