Last night was the premiere of The Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Island.

To begin the show, all 20 of the challengers met on a boat, however most had a rude awakening when the host TJ Lavin pointed out their new home on an island off the coast of Panama; even more so when TJ told them there was only one way to get on the island, and that was to swim. After arriving on the island, the challengers began to explore what they had to work with. A few small huts and a diet of fish and rice began to worry some of the guys about their performance in the game. Kenny said, "I'm use to living the life of luxury. I take very good care of myself. I don't know how to survive." He later said, "I don't know to cook or clean. I'm from New Jersey. My mom does that stuff for me there."
By the end of the first night, the partying began. Ashli even said, "All of us really just want to have sex." With that state of mind, there were definately some hookups. Ryan and Ashli, Jenn and Rachel, and Johanna and Kenny. There also seems to still be some sparks between Cohutta and KellyAnne.
Of course, the next day, the drama began, when Kenny called Tonya a "wacko" after he said some people were "retards" but she was the biggest retard of them all.
Three challengers were needed to face off in the first challenge. Abe volunteered himself, knowing he would do well. Kenny and Tonya were later chosen to compete against Abe in the "Leaning Tower" challenge. Tonya began the challenge confused at the rules, so it seemed to be Abe vs. Kenny through the entire face-off. At one point in the game, Kenny was a lap ahead of Abe. However, Abe rang his bell first claiming him the winner of the "Leaning Tower" challenge. He became the first treasure chest key holder in the game.
Later, host TJ Lavin explained to the the group that they were the ones that decided who stays and who goes out of the two losing competitors, Kenny and Tonya. During elimination, Tonya tried to get the group on her side by explaining that she is less of a threat than Kenny. But Tonya was chosen to go back home with a majority vote giving Kenny the second key.

Voting off a fellow challenger didn't seem to affect the lovebirds, Kenny and Johanna. Johanna said, "Kenny and I have been hanging around. I don't know where it's going, I don't know if we're going to continue to hook up, as we stay on the island. Is this going to turn into a relationship, are we going to have little challenge babies? I don't know. Maybe I'll vote him off and take that key away from him." Johanna may be on her A-game this challenge.
Later, while making out, Johnny presented them with a gift from the islanders:
