Throw Another Shrimp On The Barbie As MTV Brings The Summer Sizzle From Australia With THE REAL WORLD/ROAD RULES CHALLENGE: FRESH MEAT On Monday, May 29th At 10:00pm (ET/PT)

MTV: Music Television announced the new season of THE REAL WORLD/ROAD RULES CHALLENGE: FRESH MEAT on Monday, May 29th at 10:00PM (ET/PT). As the Challenge heads down under to sunny Australia, a dramatic new twist to the game finds 12 seasoned Real World and Road Rules alumni competing with 12 eager new players who′ve never been on any show before-the Fresh Meat. Paired up in teams (one Alumni with one Fresh Meat competitor), the duos must work together to survive against a house full of conniving personalities, a series of grueling challenges, and a mysterious elimination process called Exile if they want to make it to the end and claim the largest grand prize in the history of the show.

Pro BMX jumper TJ Lavin returns to host and lead the teams through very physically demanding challenges.

Additionally, it was announced that the casting special THE REAL WORLD/ROAD RULES CHALLENGE: FRESH MEAT premieres on Monday, May 22nd at 10:30PM (ET/PT).
