Road Trip

Road Trip is the British fanfic created in May, 2020. The show was created as a result of more need for alternative reality competitions in order to have a larger casting pool for The Challenge. Road Trip was created by James by taking inspiration from other reality shows such as The Amazing Race, Coach Trip and Road Rules. The series premiered in May, 2020 and has since had thirty-two seasons generated (including six All-Stars seasons and a Christmas Special).

Each season takes place in a different location for the 'Road Trip', with some harder trips to generate proving the show is perhaps more effective in continents with more city-based locations.

Format
The show follows a number of contestants (known as road trippers) as they travel around in recreational-vehicles (RVs) along a predetermined route. After each challenge, the road tripper who wins is granted immunity whilst the loser is automatically nominated for repatriation. In addition to winning the challenge, the daily victor is allowed to nominate another road tripper for repatriation. Everyone other than the challenge winner and two nominees then vote for who to repatriate (eliminate) from the game. The final two road trippers in the game then plead to the last seven eliminated individuals who make up the 'jury', with said jury voting for a winner.

There are two exceptions to this format during every season. These include the first two episodes of a series, in which there are two challenges with two winners, and two individuals losing to face repatriation. This is due to initial winners not having enough established relationships to nominate someone themselves. The second exception is the singular 'team challenge' that takes place each season, with the remaining road trippers broken into two teams of equal numbers. The entire losing team is nominated, with the winners being granted a vote on who from the losing team to send home.

From the eighth season onwards, those that won either the first or second daily challenge would be rewarded with a 'Golden Fob Lifesaver'. This Lifesaver enabled the individual to save themselves or somebody else on one occasion if they place last in a daily challenge, or if the daily challenge winner nominates them for repatriation. The Lifesaver is only eligible to be used until the final five.
