"Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Island" is the sixteenth season of the reality television competition series, "Real World/Road Rules Challenge", which airs on the American cable tv network MTV. It premiered on September 10, 2008 at 10pm ET/PT. Like previous seasons of the "Challenge", it will feature cast members from various past seasons of "The Real World" and "Road Rules", of which the "Challenge" is a spinoff. This season will feature the group being "stranded" on an island off the coast of Panama, where the cast will compete for a buried treasure chest filled with $300,000 USD in gold. Unlike in previous "Challenges", the cast will not be housed in a luxurious dwelling, but will be "forced" to improvise and "work" for the basic necessities of food and shelter, as on the TV series "Survivor". Unlike previous "Challenges", there are no predetermined teams. Instead, the cast members will have to forge their own alliances. Of the twenty cast members, there will be only four winners.

Memorable Moments

*KellyAnne, who was perceived to be a "weak rookie" in the game, proved everyone wrong after beating out both veterans Rachel and Robin during the first girls-only face-off.
*Abram pleaded his case to vote him out due to his company having trouble at home. However, many still voted for Johnny because he insulted a lot of the girls on The Island, and wanted Abram there in the end. He had won his key in the first Face-Off but gave it up when he was voted out. He felt that Dunbar can carry a team to The Island, thus giving him the key.
*Dave could not handle "The Island" and quit on his own terms.
*It is possible to get more than one key in the game. Abram attempted to get another key because it "sounded fun".
*Dan has been shown to have a drinking problem, which leads to Dave calling him a weak player. Dan flips out and almost attacks Dave.
*Abram goes up to get fruit up in a tree, when all of a sudden a swarm of wasps start attacking him as he runs all over the place to get rid of them. He was stung just about all over his body.
*Rachel and Jenn begin to fall for each other and are seen making out with each other multiple different times. Jenn describes her as a friend 'til the end (as well as a lover).
*This marks the first challenge in 3 years that Rachel competed in.
*Ashli stepped on some glass and had to get stitches and then she purposely volunteered herself to be in the face off so she could go out with her pride, but TJ was visibly upset about her throwing herself in there because she knew that she wasn't likely going to win, as well as her speech, which was also percieved as quitting.
