1 | * OnceOriginalNowCommon: ''Road Rules'' was one of the first ever competitive reality series that also put emphasis on "extreme" challenges a good decade before ''Series/{{Survivor}}'' aired and would later [[TropeCodifier codify many of the tropes now associated with reality TV]]. ''Road Rules'' tried to catch up by adding more of those commonplace tropes (VotedOffTheIsland, EatThat, etc), but to no avail. |
2 | * RetroactiveRecognition: |
3 | ** One of the cast members of the fifth season was Jonathan (then "Jon") Holmes, who would later become notable as a writer and show host for the gaming website Destructoid. |
4 | ** David Giuntoli was a cast member of season twelve ("South Pacific") eight years before he played [[Series/{{Grimm}} Nick Burkhardt]]. |
5 | ** A 1998 season of "Road Rules: All-Stars" had Real World alum visit the Groundlings improv studio in LA. They worked with [[Film/AustinPowers Frau Farbissina]], [[Series/CurbYourEnthusiasm Cheryl David]], and [[Film/AmericanPie Stiffler's Mom]]. |
6 | ** Kit Hoover briefly appeared as a contestant on season one before becoming famous as co-host of ''Access Hollywood''. |
7 | ** Season 10 ("The Quest") had Blair Herter as a cast member, years before he was known as a Creator/{{G4TV}} personality and host. |
8 | * TheScrappy: The first season had Carlos "Los" Jackson, who was hated for his [[HeManWomanHater casual misogyny]] and his EntitledBastard tendencies. |
9 | * SeasonalRot: Seasons one and two were good, but seasons three through five were largely forgettable fare. Seasons six and seven, however, revived the show, with season six (''Road Rules [[LandDownUnder Down Under]]'') being considered the high point of the series. Then they retooled the show to stick it on a boat with season eight and the show became more "Fear Factor"-esque until it was put out of its misery. |
