Road Rules: The Quest is the tenth season of the MTV reality television series Road Rules. It first aired on MTV in 2001, and featured six strangers chosen to compete in missions, while living in a RV. In this particular season, the contestants drove their RV to missions in Morocco and Spain, with a final mission in the United States. The season also was the first to have a rule where the cast would potentially have to vote a cast member off if the cast failed to meet a certain set of rules pertaining to successful missions completed.
This season of Road Rules was the first and only season to be preceded by a casting special in which 27[1] potential cast members for the Back to New York edition of The Real World and Road Rules spent time together for a week to see how they interacted to be selected for one of the two shows.
