Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Gauntlet III is the fifteenth season of the reality television competition series, Real World/Road Rules Challenge. The challenge will take place in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. It will be formatted like The Gauntlet II. It will feature Veterans vs. Rookies. Those on the Veterans team had been on at least two prior seasons, and those on the Rookies team had been on fewer than two seasons prior to The Gauntlet III.

Rules

This season the teams do not have team captains. Whichever team wins a mission gets to pick someone of the same sex, either male or female, depending on the Gauntlet day, from the other team. They pick two people, a person who will compete in the Gauntlet, and another person who is safe from competing in the Gauntlet that night. The losing team then votes someone from their own team who they want to compete against the chosen person by the winning team. The two teammates then battle it out in the Gauntlet. Each person from either team can be only saved once. Unlike before there will be no team bank accounts the final mission will be worth $300,000. The only way to earn money is to make it to the final challenge and be on the winning team. Smaller prizes such as phones and vacations will be handed out to winners on the way to the final mission.

Gauntlets

Played Gauntlets:

• Force Field - The two competitors are joined together by a rope that goes over the top of them by a pulley system. For one player to move forward he has to drag the other backwards. Each competitor starts at their line and at the start of the Gauntlet they both race to cross their opponents line. First one to do this wins.^[1]
• Ram it Home - The two competitors start with a wall at their back and a sled that hangs on an overhead track in front of them. They must then use the sled to push each other. The first player to push their opponent all the way back into their own wall wins the Gauntlet.^[2]
• Ball Brawl - The two competitors have to get footballs aligned in a vertical pattern back the the starting point. They both race at the same time to get the footballs, and they are allowed to tackle the person and strip the ball. The first three balls, black, are worth 1 point. The last two balls are white, and worth two points each. The first person to get four points wins.^[3]
• Sliders - The two competitors each have to solve a slide puzzle at the same time. They are 16 space puzzle boards and each of them has the same design, and are given a picture of what the final design should look like. One of them is blue, the other red. Their teammates are allowed to watch and help them solve it.^[3]

This cycle will keep going until one team has no more players one their team. Tackling and taking the balls from your opponents is allowed. Whichever team wins both of the gender rounds wins the challenge. If one team wins one gender and the other team wins the other gender, then there will be a one-on-one face off match between the Veterans best guy and the Rookies best guy.
