Season chronology

In Real Life is a Canadian reality show where eighteen kids aged 12–14 race across North America and compete in a series of real-life jobs, aimed to "discover the skills, strength, and stamina it takes to make it in real life." The show is developed and produced by Apartment 11 Productions. The show is hosted by Canadian comedian and actress, Sabrina Jalees.

The winner was 14-year-old Zachary Tng from Calgary, Alberta.

The third season premiered on YTV on October 3, 2011 and the season finale aired on December 12, 2011. The Final Webisode, first introduced in Season 2, will return again this season but with a twist - two fans will also have the opportunity to compete alongside the two challengers. This season, challengers will "soldier their way to the top as army recruits, try to avoid the sting of elimination as beekeepers, work on Broadway with the cast and crew of the hit musical Stomp, and perform gravity-defying aerobatics as stunt pilots." As with the previous seasons, the winner walked away with "college tuition money and a dream vacation for 4." The episodes were never released beyond airing.
