'''''Real World/Road Rules Challenge: Fresh Meat''''' is the 12th season of the [[MTV]] [[reality game show]], ''[[The Challenge (TV series)|The Challenge]]'' (at the time known as ''Real World/Road Rules Challenge'').

''Fresh Meat'' is the first season to include previously unknown contestants as part of the cast. Previous to ''Fresh Meat'', all seasons functioned solely by the program's trademark: strictly using contestants that were previously cast on past seasons of ''[[Real World (TV series)|The Real World]]'' or ''[[Road Rules]]''.

Filmed in Australia, ''Fresh Meat'' featured two-player teams; each team had an alumnus of ''[[Real World (TV series)|The Real World]]'' or ''[[Road Rules]]'' partnered with a newcomer to the series (collectively known as the "Fresh Meat"). A launch special aired May 22, 2006, a week before the season premiere.<ref>{{#invoke:cite|web|url=http://www.thefutoncritic.com/showatch/challenge/listings/ |title=Shows A-Z - challenge, the on mtv |publisher=TheFutonCritic.com |date= |accessdate=2022-05-05}}</ref>

This is the first edition of the ''Fresh Meat'' series, with ''[[The Challenge: Fresh Meat II|Fresh Meat II]]'' following in 2010. 

==Format==
Prior to the season, each of the 12 newcomers (referred to as "Fresh Meat") participates in a series of challenges to test their skills. Each alumnus selects one of the rookies of the opposite sex to be their partner for the entire season, using the stats from the pre-season challenges.<ref name="Episode1">{{#invoke:cite|web|url=http://www.mtv.com/videos/fresh-meat-ep-1/1535622/playlist.jhtml#series=2211&seriesId=19929&channelId=1 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090728012115/http://www.mtv.com/videos/fresh-meat-ep-1/1535622/playlist.jhtml#series=2211&seriesId=19929&channelId=1 |url-status=dead |archive-date=July 28, 2009 |title=Episode 1: "Kickin' Things Off" - Video at MTV.com|website=[[MTV]]}}</ref>

In odd-numbered episodes, teams participate in a challenge. (Challenges are sometimes called "missions.") The winner of the challenge has [[Immunity (reality television)|immunity]] from going into Exile, and selects one team to go into Exile. They also get the chance to pick the order in the next challenge. The remaining teams get together to vote for the other Exile team; the winning team and their pick for the Exile are not present during the process. Each individual gets a vote, and voting is not secret. The team with the most votes is picked to go into Exile.<ref name="Episode1"/>

In even-numbered episodes, teams participate in another challenge. If one of the two teams picked for Exile wins the challenge (sometimes referred to on the show as winning the "pardon"), they can select another team to go into Exile in their place, however, they cannot pick the team that won the previous challenge as that team has immunity. They also receive a prize and will get to pick the order in the next challenge. The challenge of this episode is followed by the Exile.<ref name="Episode1"/>

Exile is a race between two teams. Unlike the elimination games of other seasons of ''The Challenge'', the remaining teams do not watch the battle between the two Exile teams. The Exile teams run a course and whoever crosses the finish line first stays, while the other team goes home. Along the way, there are two optional puzzle stations where, if the puzzle is solved correctly, they will get a prize that will benefit them in the race (such as dropping their bags or taking minutes off their total time.) To make matters more difficult, each member will be carrying bags equal to the weight of the luggage they brought to the Challenge.<ref name="Episode1"/>

A car picks them up and they are taken, blindfolded, to the race course. Once the car stops, they must jump out and go on with the race. Both team members must cross the finish line, but it doesn't matter who carries what bags.<ref name="Episode1"/>

Initially, the final challenge was to consist of four teams, with first-place winning [[Dollar sign|$]]250,000, second place $30,000, third place $20,000 and fourth place winning nothing.<ref name="Episode1"/> However, due to the medical disqualification of Team Coral & Evan, the final challenge only featured three teams, with all finalists winning money.<ref name="Episode11">{{#invoke:cite|web|url=http://www.mtv.com/videos/fresh-meat-ep-11/1537371/playlist.jhtml#series=2211&seriesId=19929&channelId=1 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090727042058/http://www.mtv.com/videos/fresh-meat-ep-11/1537371/playlist.jhtml#series=2211&seriesId=19929&channelId=1 |url-status=dead |archive-date=July 27, 2009 |title=Episode 11: "Money or Friendship?" – Video at MTV.com|website=[[MTV]]}}</ref>

==Gameplay==
===Challenge games===
* '''Stuck On Me:''' Players are connected to their partners, back-to-back, by a harness, on a 25-foot narrow balance beam that is hanging from the top of the [[Q1 (building)|Q1]] building. Each team has to walk toward a white line at the end of the beam, then do a full 360[[Degree symbol|°]] turn, and walk back to the beginning of the beam. The team that walks to the end of the beam and back in the fastest time wins.<ref name="Episode1"/>
** '''Winners:''' Coral & Evan
* '''Bush Whacked:''' Twenty tree stumps are placed within a circle — eight on an interior ring, and twelve on the exterior ring. The stumps on the interior ring are two feet high, while the stumps on the exterior ring are three feet high. Each team stands on a designated stump on the interior ring, and has to swing a hanging medicine ball in an attempt to knock an opposing team off their stump. A team is disqualified if one player holds the medicine ball for more than three seconds. The challenge is played in three rounds, and after four teams are eliminated from the first round, each team moves to the three-foot stumps. The last team standing on their designated stump wins.<ref>{{#invoke:cite|web|url=http://www.mtv.com/videos/fresh-meat-ep-2/1535634/playlist.jhtml |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090728012126/http://www.mtv.com/videos/fresh-meat-ep-2/1535634/playlist.jhtml |url-status=dead |archive-date=July 28, 2009 |title=Episode 2: "Anxieties Run High" – Video at MTV.com|website=[[MTV]]}}</ref>
** '''Winners:''' Coral & Evan
* '''Hang On:''' The male players from each team are hanging upside down from leg harnesses, and have to "hang on" to their female partners, while being hoisted 20 feet above water. A team's time stops once a player falls into the water. The team that hangs on the longest time wins.<ref>{{#invoke:cite|web|url=http://www.mtv.com/videos/fresh-meat-ep-3/1535640/playlist.jhtml#series=2211&seriesId=19929&channelId=1 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090728012126/http://www.mtv.com/videos/fresh-meat-ep-3/1535640/playlist.jhtml#series=2211&seriesId=19929&channelId=1 |url-status=dead |archive-date=July 28, 2009 |title=Episode 3: "Hanging Tough" – Video at MTV.com|website=[[MTV]]}}</ref>
** '''Winners:''' Coral & Evan
* '''Jail Break:''' Players from each team have to escape from a jail cell, by finding three keys that are located inside six bowls of "prison slop." Each player is suited up in "jailbird" jumpsuits, with their hands behind their backs in handcuffs and their legs in shackles. Each player has to search through each bowl of slop using only their faces and mouths. Once a team has found the three keys that are needed to unlock each other's handcuffs and the jail cell, each player will sprint down a 50-yard dash (with their legs still in shackles) to a finish line. The team with the fastest time wins.<ref>{{#invoke:cite|web|url=http://www.mtv.com/videos/fresh-meat-ep-4/1535641/playlist.jhtml#series=2211&seriesId=19929&channelId=1 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090726072307/http://www.mtv.com/videos/fresh-meat-ep-4/1535641/playlist.jhtml#series=2211&seriesId=19929&channelId=1 |url-status=dead |archive-date=July 26, 2009 |title=Episode 4: "Jailbirds" – Video at MTV.com|website=[[MTV]]}}</ref>
** '''Winners:''' Theo & Chanda
* '''Climber's Paradise:''' Each team has to ascend up a 25-foot climbing wall, by using pegs of different shapes and colors. Each player has to carry the pegs up, and communicate with each other in order to determine the peg shapes necessary to ascend the wall. A team is disqualified if they do not make it to the top of the wall within a 10-minute time limit, or if one or both players falls off the climbing wall. The team that makes it to the top of the wall and retrieves a flag in the fastest time wins.<ref>{{#invoke:cite|web|url=http://www.mtv.com/videos/fresh-meat-ep-5/1535643/playlist.jhtml#series=2211&seriesId=19929&channelId=1 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090726073947/http://www.mtv.com/videos/fresh-meat-ep-5/1535643/playlist.jhtml#series=2211&seriesId=19929&channelId=1 |url-status=dead |archive-date=July 26, 2009 |title=Episode 5: "Climber's Paradise" – Video at MTV.com|website=[[MTV]]}}</ref>
** '''Winners:''' Coral & Evan
* '''Rollin' In Oats:''' Two tubs of rolled oats are located across a grass field from corresponding deposit tubs. Players from each team have to smother their bodies with oatmeal, then sprint toward their designated deposit tubs, and scrape off the oatmeal from their bodies into the tubs. Each team goes back and forth for a two-minute period, trying to deposit as much oatmeal into their tubs as possible. The team that distributes the heaviest weight of oatmeal into their designated tub wins.<ref>{{#invoke:cite|web|url=http://www.mtv.com/videos/fresh-meat-ep-6/1536724/playlist.jhtml#series=2211&seriesId=19929&channelId=1 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090726072312/http://www.mtv.com/videos/fresh-meat-ep-6/1536724/playlist.jhtml#series=2211&seriesId=19929&channelId=1 |url-status=dead |archive-date=July 26, 2009 |title=Episode 6: "Costume Extravaganza" – Video at MTV.com|website=[[MTV]]}}</ref>
** '''Winners:''' Coral & Evan
* '''Crossed Paths:''' A rope that is suspended 25 feet above water connects two platforms, and the goal for each team is for each player to make their way from one platform to the other. Players will meet their teammate midway through, in which they will "cross paths," and make their way toward the opposite platforms. A team is disqualified if one player falls into the water. The team with the fastest time wins.<ref name="Episode7">{{#invoke:cite|web|url=http://www.mtv.com/videos/fresh-meat-ep-7/1536754/playlist.jhtml#series=2211&seriesId=19929&channelId=1 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090726073952/http://www.mtv.com/videos/fresh-meat-ep-7/1536754/playlist.jhtml#series=2211&seriesId=19929&channelId=1 |url-status=dead |archive-date=July 26, 2009 |title=Episode 7: "Crossing Paths" – Video at MTV.com|website=[[MTV]]}}</ref>
** '''Winners:''' Theo & Chanda
* '''Incredible Deflating Kayak:''' Teams have to inflate a kayak using either their mouths or foot pedals, then paddle their way across to an opposite side of a river, grab their team flag, then paddle their way back to the original launching area. A team has to start over if one or both players sticks their hands or legs outside of the kayak while in the paddling process. Once each team had paddled back to the original launching area, they have to deflate their kayak, and stuff it back in the bags that contained the kayaks. The team with the fastest time wins.<ref>{{#invoke:cite|web|url=http://www.mtv.com/videos/fresh-meat-ep-8/1536757/playlist.jhtml#series=2211&seriesId=19929&channelId=1 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090726073957/http://www.mtv.com/videos/fresh-meat-ep-8/1536757/playlist.jhtml#series=2211&seriesId=19929&channelId=1 |url-status=dead |archive-date=July 26, 2009 |title=Episode 8 "Kayak Challenge" – Video at MTV.com|website=[[MTV]]}}</ref>
** '''Winners:''' Shane & Linette
* '''Swimming With Sharks:''' Teams have to solve a puzzle that is floating on a frame within a shark lagoon. Players from each team have to swim down into the lagoon, relay style, and retrieve the pieces needed to solve the puzzle. A team has ten minutes to assemble the puzzle pieces together, or they will be disqualified. Only one team competes at a time, and all other teams are quarantined in order to avoid getting an advantage prior to their turn. The team that solves a puzzle in the fastest time wins.<ref>{{#invoke:cite|web|url=http://www.mtv.com/videos/fresh-meat-ep-9/1536756/playlist.jhtml#series=2211&seriesId=19929&channelId=1 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090727072907/http://www.mtv.com/videos/fresh-meat-ep-9/1536756/playlist.jhtml#series=2211&seriesId=19929&channelId=1 |url-status=dead |archive-date=July 27, 2009 |title=Episode 9: "Kenny VS Tina?" – Video at MTV.com|website=[[MTV]]}}</ref>

In the first round, each teams has to drag an 850-pound sled with a bale of hay from one side of a dirt field to another. The first team to drag their sled to the finish line wins the first round. The four winning teams from the first round are then split up into two teams of two, and have to drag a 350-pound sled to the finish line. The team that makes it to the finish line first wins. In the final round, the same process continues, with the final two 2-player teams competing to win the challenge.<ref>{{#invoke:cite|web|url=http://www.mtv.com/videos/misc/98162/all-about-teamwork.jhtml#id=1536758 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081110050445/http://www.mtv.com/videos/misc/98162/all-about-teamwork.jhtml#id=1536758 |url-status=dead |archive-date=November 10, 2008 |title=Episode 10 Bonus Clips: "All About Teamwork" – Video at MTV.com|website=[[MTV]]}}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:cite|web|url=http://www.mtv.com/shows/rwrr_challenge-fresh_meat/episode.jhtml?episodeID=100761#moreinfo |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130710182027/http://www.mtv.com/shows/rwrr_challenge-fresh_meat/episode.jhtml?episodeID=100761%23moreinfo |url-status=dead |archive-date=July 10, 2013 |title=Episode 10 Summary: "Game Over?"|website=[[MTV]]}}</ref>

The team that makes it through the obstacle course, with their artifact, in the fastest time wins [[Dollar sign|$]]1,500.<ref name="Episode14">{{#invoke:cite|web|url=http://www.mtv.com/videos/fresh-meat-ep-14/1538650/playlist.jhtml#series=2211&seriesId=19929&channelId=1 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090727065609/http://www.mtv.com/videos/fresh-meat-ep-14/1538650/playlist.jhtml#series=2211&seriesId=19929&channelId=1 |url-status=dead |archive-date=July 27, 2009 |title=Episode 14: "Kenny and Tina's Triumph" – Video at MTV.com|website=[[MTV]]}}</ref>
** '''Winners:''' Darrell & Aviv
* '''What a Croc:''' Teams are placed on a "crocodile wheel," and are spun around until at least one body part touches the end of the wheel, or if one player falls off the wheel, in which a team's time will be stopped. Each team is spun around three times. The team with the longest combined time not only wins an automatic bid in the final challenge, but also chooses two of the final three remaining teams for the last Exile.<ref name="Episode15">{{#invoke:cite|web|url=http://www.mtv.com/videos/fresh-meat-ep-15/1538999/playlist.jhtml#series=2211&seriesId=19929&channelId=1 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090727072902/http://www.mtv.com/videos/fresh-meat-ep-15/1538999/playlist.jhtml#series=2211&seriesId=19929&channelId=1 |url-status=dead |archive-date=July 27, 2009 |title=Episode 15 "The Death Roll" – Video at MTV.com|website=[[MTV]]}}</ref>
** '''Winners:''' Tina & Kenny

===Exiles===
Exile is a race between two teams with a start and a finish, and two puzzles in between. The puzzles are optional and can be skipped by the teams, however, teams ''must'' grab their flag at each puzzle before proceeding. Puzzles that are completed may result in a reward significant to the remainder of the race. Couples will be carrying bags that, when combined, equal the amount of luggage each cast member brought with them to the Challenge. Couples must carry the bags at all times, unless a reward allows them to drop them.<ref name="Episode1"/>

There are three different Exile courses on this season: Beach, Forest, and Cliffside. Each Exile contains a start, a finish, and two puzzles; however, the terrain of the course may affect a team's performance. Teams that participated on each course are as follows:

* '''Beach Course:''' ''Wes & Casey vs. Danny & Evelyn'', ''Tina & Kenny vs. Katie & Eric'', ''Tina & Kenny vs. Theo & Chanda''
* '''Forest Course:''' ''Wes & Casey vs. Melinda & Ryan'', ''Wes & Casey vs. Tonya & Johnnie'', ''Darrell & Aviv vs. Derrick & Diem''
* '''Cliffside Course:''' ''Wes & Casey vs. Johanna & Jesse'', ''Wes & Casey vs. Shane & Linette''

===Final challenge===
* '''Miles of Exile:''' The three remaining teams compete in a 10-mile sprint along the beach, with teammates roped to each other, and have to encounter several checkpoints and solve two puzzles. At the first checkpoint, each team has to run outside of buoys, through the water, to the second checkpoint, which is a "peg-jumping" puzzle station. There are four sandbags that weigh 25 pounds each next to an empty duffle bag. Each team will be given three attempts to correctly solve a puzzle. If a team solves the puzzle on the first attempt, they will be allowed to continue to the next checkpoint without having to carry any sandbags into their designated duffle bag. After the second unsuccessful attempt, a team will be required to add 50 pounds to their designated duffle bag. If a team does not correctly solve a puzzle after the third attempt, that team will be required to add all four sandbags to their duffle bag, and carry it to the next checkpoint. Darrell & Aviv solved the puzzle after the third attempt, in which they were required to add 50 pounds to their duffle bag, while Tina & Kenny and Wes Casey each failed to solve the puzzles after three attempts. The third checkpoint is "Military Crawl," in which each team has to crawl under military-style posts, but have to drag their duffle bags under the posts, and are not allowed to throw their duffle bags over the posts. After the military crawl, each team must still carry the weight of their designated duffle bags to the fourth checkpoint, "Carry Your Partner," in which the male partners carry their female partners to the next checkpoint while continuing to carry their duffle bags until they reach a sign that says "continue to your next checkpoint." The fifth checkpoint is "Stick Squares" puzzle station, in which teams must make two equal squares by moving four sticks. This puzzle station is the reverse of the first puzzle station, in which teams can remove all 100 pounds from their duffle bags if they correctly solve a puzzle on their first attempt, 50 pounds if they solve a puzzle on a second attempt, but will be required to carry the weight of ''all'' sandbags if they do not correctly solve a puzzle after the third attempt. Darrell & Aviv correctly solved the puzzle after the first attempt, in which they removed all weight from their duffle bags. Neither Tina & Kenny nor Wes & Casey solved the second puzzle after three attempts, and were forced to carry ''all'' of the weight of their duffle bags up a mountain side to the finish line.<ref>{{#invoke:cite|web|url=http://www.mtv.com/videos/fresh-meat-ep-16/1539000/playlist.jhtml#series=2211&seriesId=19929&channelId=1 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090727065614/http://www.mtv.com/videos/fresh-meat-ep-16/1539000/playlist.jhtml#series=2211&seriesId=19929&channelId=1 |url-status=dead |archive-date=July 27, 2009 |title=Episode 16: "And The Winners Are..." – Video at MTV.com|website=[[MTV]]}}</ref>
