Memorable Moments
- Kalle and Jake, from the Road Rules Islands cast, kidnaps the cast to take them to their first mission. They catch various castmembers in compromising situations. Roni is at her high school prom, Jon is taking a shower at home, and Tara is asleep at her sorority house at UCLA.
- The cast performs the first six-person bungee jump ever.
- The RV is robbed while the cast is staying in the hotel. Most of the cast had their clothes and Road Rules backpacks stolen. Noah lost his guitars.
- While in New York City, Roni's hometown, the cast, with the exception of Noah, chooses not to meet her family and friends, instead opting to go out to party. While Roni already felt ostracized by the group, this provokes her into a tirade against her fellow castmembers.
- Dan and Tara hook-up during the entire season, which causes awkward moments when the cast stays at Dan's home in Apple Valley, Minnesota. The two admit during a truth or dare session that they had sex during the trip.
- During the same truth or dare session, Jon admits that he has a temper problem that he covered up with his awkward, goofy personality.
Trivia
