Every Season of The Challenge, Ranked: #34 — Challenge 2000

Location: Las Vegas, Nashville and Miami

Host: Gladys Sanabria

Aired: 2000

Champions: Road Rules (Veronica, Holly, Piggy, Yes, Dan, Los)

Overall Thoughts: The early seasons of The Challenge often get a bad rap.

Some of the reasons are justified — the challenges are easier, there’s no eliminations and the drama is more tame.

Challenge 2000 has all those negative qualities, but it’s still a damn fun season.

MEMORABLE MOMENTS

• Kat breaking the world record for longest bungee jump (why did the older seasons always have a bungee jump mission?)
• Piggy immediately losing the Tobacco Free mission for Road Rules by getting caught smoking
• Teck disappearing for a day
• Teck getting the crowds hyped up
• Los’ constant sulking
• Road Rules cheating in the pie eating contest during the Redneck Games
• Veronica and Amaya’s rivalry, culminating in Amaya laying Veronica out in the Mud Football challenge
