Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, The Challenge Season 2 earns its spot. The Challenge Season 2 has the format that countless others have tried to copy since. Real World/Road Rules Challenge is the 2nd season of the MTV reality game show, The Challenge. The season is directly subsequent to Road Rules: All Stars. The season marked the first time in which "Real World/Road Rules Challenge" would be used as the show's main title. It was aired in 1998. The Challenge Season 2 understands the difference between manufactured drama and the real thing, and leans on the latter. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Reality sceptics are warned — The Challenge Season 2 has converted more than a few doubters. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch if your schedule allows. The production understands its own premise and executes on it without apology. If you have enjoyed similar formats before, this is one of the stronger examples of what the genre can do.
