Battle of the Sexes 2 is the ninth season of the Real World/Road Rules Challenge. It premiered on October 11, 2004, and concluded with the reunion special on January 31, 2005. It is the sequel to the 2002 season, Battle of the Sexes.

Description[]

One year ago, MTV gathered an all-star cast of Real World and Road Rules alumni in Jamaica. While the Challenges normally pit show against show, MTV decided to have the gals compete against the guys and a whole new Challenge was born. The men went home with the cash and the glory and, now, one year later, in rustic Santa Fe, New Mexico, 36 Real World and Road Rules alumni have convened for the ultimate rematch that we like to call Battle of the Sexes II. Clever title, eh?

Battling the harsh dessert conditions, Real Worlders and Roadies will be competing in 16 competitions that will test their mind and body. Head Hombre Jonny Moseley will return to preside over this year's gender showdown.

Okay y'all, this here's how the game works. Listen up, because we've added a twist. Before each event, each team will elect three team leaders. The team leaders will call the shots and create the strategy for the team that day. When the mission is over, the three team leaders for the winning team will automatically become the Inner Circle. These three team members will debate and then cast their votes for which of their team members will be voted off and sent home. Meanwhile (and this is the new twist), on the losing team, the three team leaders sit out while the remaining team members form the Inner Circle. This group will debate and then cast their votes for which of the three team leaders will be voted off. Oh yeah, when there are only four players left per team, the teams will vote in two team leaders, instead of three.

The final three cowboys will compete against the final three cowgirls for the $180,000 grand prize, with each team member potentially winning sixty grand each--the highest individual Challenge prize ever! So hold on to your chaps, this town ain't never gonna be the same.
