Spring Break Challenge is a short-lived MTV reality game show spun off from MTV's long-running reality game show, The Challenge. The spin-off series was somewhat cast-contestant dependent on The Challenge in that the Spring Break Challenge used various contestants from the precursor program.. Spring Break Challenge is also cast-contestant dependent on MTV's two flagship reality programs, The Real World and the now cancelled series Road Rules. As with The Challenge, T.J. Lavin was host of Spring Break Challenge. The program aired from March 22, 2010, to March 26, 2010, during spring break in Acapulco, Mexico. This spin-off featured teams of college-aged friends in various challenges of old and new based on previous seasons of The Challenge. The Spring Break Challenge cast was made up of original contestants, as well as alumni from previous seasons of The Real World, Road Rules, and the Fresh Meat challenge serving as coaches.
Seven All-Star Challengers coach teams of energized Spring Breakers in a weeklong battle for over 50,000 dollars in cash and prizes. Teams compete in two classic challenges...and one team is eliminated.
The six remaining teams compete in a dizzying challenge, "Turntable." The two bottom teams try to hang tough at "Dangle Drop," where one squad is eliminated from the game.
Five teams remain and must prove they aren't chicken at the "Bird Feeder" challenge. Then, at the "Pole Wrestle" elimination, one crew is sent home.
In the brutal "Balls In" challenge, the remaining four teams battle for a win. The two bottom teams try not to get things twisted at "Unbraided," where one group is eliminated from the game.
Three teams face off in a "Hodge Podge" challenge to see which two crews will advance to the Finals. Then, an epic finale, the winners will collect a cash prize and be crowned champions of Spring Break Challenge 2010!
