The Challenge

Welcome to the first Real World / Road Rules Challenge. Some people claim that this isn't a real challenge, but we are taking 5 Real Worlders and throwing them in Road Rules missions, so I'm gonna count that as a Real World / Road Rules Challenge. We start off with- Eric from Real World New York riding a train, he claims that he had to think really hard to do another MTV show, but excited for the trip. On the way, the train will stop at separate stations and pick up the remaining 4 castmates. Next stop, we pick up- Jon from Real World Los Angeles They catch up on old times, Jon says he's still trying to get a Country record deal, while Eric shows off that he doesn't even sing and he received a record deal. Next stop, we see- Rachel from Real World San Francisco

We open with the cast arriving in New Zealand. Rachel describes the ordeal with her accident and explains that she should be normal when the metal rods are taken out of her leg. In New Zealand they receive a temporary winnie, where they find their next clue. They are told to arrive at a farm the following day at 9am. They all go out and party that night, Sean & Rachel are seen going into a peep show. The following morning, the cast gets ready. Cynthia wonders why Rachel is getting dressed the way she is when they know they're going to a farm. At breakfast, Sean and Jon try to hurry the group as they gab over breakfast. They end up arriving at the farm over a hour late. They find out the first part of their mission will be sheep shearing. The guys run around a pin trying to get the sheep into the barn. In the barn, each of them have to shear a sheep clean. At lunch, Sean continues to flirt with

While traveling back from the last mission, they receive a clue from Puck. He says that the current opening song for the show sucks, and the group must write a new one. Back at the hotel, Sean, Cynthia, Rachel, & Jon all get to work on the song. Eric had denied participating due to copyright with his career and if he would be getting a piece of the pie the song makes. Within a hour, the four remaining castmates get a song down and actually turns out pretty good. They receive a clue to travel north, when they arrive, they find out that they'll be 'Zorbing'. Zorbing consists of climbing into a big plastic/nylon ball and rolling down a hill. They each will be going down as pairs and the overall winner will win $150. Rachel went first against Eric and won. Sean went second against Cynthia and lost. Jon went third against Rachel and lost. On the way down,
