Fresh Meat 3

Fresh Meat 3 is the twenty-eighth season of the RSF Franchise, and is based off of the Fresh Meat format of the reality television series The Challenge (formerly known as the Real World/Road Rules Challenge. It is also the 8th season of Generation 2. The season followed The Inferno.

This season saw the players divided into 13 teams of 2 via a draft with each team being made up of an RSF Veteran and an RSF Fresh Meat with Veterans being players who have played in a previous RSF Season while Fresh Meat played in either none of the previous RSF Seasons or in only 1 previous season with an early exit.

This season also incorporated Fresh Meat trials in which more Fresh Meat than Veterans were cast and based on how they performed in Trials testing different attributes (Puzzle, Posting Speed, Spam, Endurance, Luck, Communication to the Veterans) with several being eliminated in the Trials. In addition, their performance in the Trials would be revealed to the Veterans who could use that information to help select partners.

This season became notorious for the amount of inactive eliminations which at 2 different points had neither team finish the Exile in the time given and thus both teams be eliminated.

In the end, LaFierceBrittany2 and thatonepeople defeated blueu22 and Younglinkmaster in the Final Challenge in order to earn the title of RSF Champion.
