In Real Life (formerly known as In the Real World ) is a Canadian reality show where 18 young contestants aged 12–14 race across North America and compete in a series of real-life tasks, aimed to "discover the skills, strength, and stamina it takes to make it in real life." The show was made by Apartment 11 Productions. It was originally planned to premiere on February 4, 2009 as In the Real World , but was delayed by one month, possibly due to issues with a series with a similar name. New episodes of the show now air every Wednesday on YTV.

Episode Summary

Episode 1: Auto Racing

Aired: Wednesday, March 4, 2009.
Location: Atlanta, Georgia
The series starts by composing each team at a racetrack located in Atlanta, Georgia. The teams must first answer their first clue: "Race to the colour of the flag that starts the race", which was green. All the teams got the answer, except Teal and Red, which pushed them to 8th and 9th place.

For the first challenge teams would then race Go Karts starting in the positions they arrived at the green flag.

For the second challenge, teams would be given a garage number and would need to find the only opening to the garage. Then they would have to change the air filter of a car, push the car out the garage, start the car, and race to Sabrina. All teams completed the task with Yellow in first. When it was down to Teal and Red, Teal beat out Red, keeping Red in last place. The Green team finished last because Jesse walked instead of running.

For the third challenge, the teams would receive a ticket with a section, row, and seat number. They would need to retrieve their clue card from under their designated seat. On the clue card, there was a cherry pit, which told teams to go to the Pit Stop. The Shield was located in an underground tunnel used to go under the stands, but no one found it. When arriving at the Pit Stop, Yellow was in first, whereas Green was still in last.

For the final challenge, teams would change two tires of a car. After having their tires checked, one team member would race a real Nascar around a track and try to see 3 flags. The contestant would then have to tell Sabrina the correct order and the colors of the flags. The Orange team finished first and chose the Big Reward. Purple came in second and won the Wrench. The Yellow team came finished last, and the Grey team finished second last. Yellow would have been eliminated, but the first experience turned out to be a non-elimination leg, meaning the Yellow team was saved from elimination.

Episode 2: Alligator Wranglers

Aried: Wednesday, March 11, 2009
Location: Florida City, Florida
For their second experience, teams made their way to Florida City, Florida to become alligator wranglers.

For their first task, the teams had to collect 3 alligators with their team colour on it. The teams all start at the same time. With 7 teams finished, it comes down to Jesse for Green, and Tyler for Brown. The Brown team, only needing one, completes the task before Green. The standings after the first task were: Purple in 1st place, Green in last.

For their second task, teams would need to retrieve an alligator from a pond, and give it to an alligator wrangler. The Purple team, who won the Wrench, were able to give it to one team of their choice. They chose the Yellow team due to Ben's dislike for Talon. The Wrench forced only one member of the Yellow team, which was Maddison, to retrieve 2 alligators from the pond. The Shield, for this experience, was found in the alligator wrangler's pocket. Though the Blue team spotted the Shield, the Red team attained it after Blue wasn't able to keep quiet about it. After all the teams were finished, Purple was still in first and Green was still in last.

For their third task, teams would need to retrieve 15 dead rats and race towards the feeding area. The first 8 teams arrived at the feeding area with Green awaiting their start. Orange realized they were missing one rat and had to run back to retrieve it. When Orange retrieved their last rat, Green had just begun. In the footrace, Orange just beat out Green. The teams, in the order they arrived, would then need to throw their rats at the to clear a path for them to retrieve their next clue. The teams completed with Purple in first, and Green in last.

For their final task, teams would read their clue card, which gave them a riddle. They would have to figure out that the first letter of each word would spell out Observation Deck, which was the location of the finish line. Though difficult for some teams, they all figured out the riddle and ran to the Observation Deck. The Purple team came in first and chose the "Big Reward" while the Blue team came in second and won the Wrench. In the end, Orange and Green were the last 2 teams to arrive. Without a Shield, the Green Team, Carlisse and Jesse, became the first team eliminated from In Real Life.

Episode 3: Rodeo Cowboys and Cowgirls

Aried: Wednesday, March 18, 2009
Location: Rose Hill, Kansas
This episode starts with the remaining 8 teams arriving at the Sankey Rodeo School in Rose Hill, Kansas.

Their first challenge is to ride El Toro, a fake bull. Teams would choose one team member to ride the fake bull while the other team member would be randomly assigned to buck off an opposing team's rider. The riders only have to stay on for a maximum time of 2 minutes. Sammi for the Teal Team was the first to fall after 0:07 seconds. Then, Aaron for the Red Team and Landon for Grey Team fell after 0:14 seconds. Talon for Yellow, Jaiden for Orange, Ruby-Rae for Purple, Paul for Blue, and Tyler for Brown all survived the 2 minutes, putting them in a tie for first place. Because of Sammi's short ride on the bull, the Teal Team
