Welcome again to DCBLOG and to DC SocialPulse powered by DCNOW...an unusual one here. Usually, DCSP brings you the tweets of cast members before, during and after they watch episodes of MTV shows. But today, in this, the first part of a 2-part DCBLOG doubleheader, we're doing something rather different in that we're not presenting the episode tweets as twitter saw it, but to get a sense of the vibe among cast members heading into a big day.
   In letting you read the conversations between cast members from both shows, you can get a sense of what the vibe is like among the casts as they await a big day, either the season premiere of a show that they're on that they anticipate the same way they do for Christmas, or the finale of a competition show like Are You The One? or The Challenge with money hanging in the balance.
   We've done this post before, both before the season finale of The Challenge: Free Agents with the week-long buildup to the epic finale in South America and with the FIFA World Cup already underway. And just before the season 2 premiere of Are You The One?, we brought you the transition from the great season 1 cast to the season 2 cast that were destined to join that club, which was determined in this week's episode.
   In this special edition of DCSP, we're presenting the week-long buildup to the season 2 AYTO finale and instead of bringing you the tweets as the season 2 cast, their Hawaiian predecessors and fans saw the dramatic, tension-filled finale, which we'll present in part 2 coming up later today (as we talk to you on Thursday, Dec. 11), as well as for the sake of conserving as much space as possible in these posts, we'll bring you the twitter interaction in the days leading up to Monday, December 8, a day that would either change the group's fortunes or live in infamy as a day they would forget.
   Included in the lead-up posts is news of the Are You The One? S1 cast's crossover into The Challenge, where Adam, Brittany, John and Simone, who all took residency in the house in Kauai, will shack up again, this time in Panama with the big names from The Real World and The Challenge, along with fellow rookies for Real World Ex-Plosion. We'll be kicking off our Exes 2 and RW Skeletons coverage here this weekend, if not before Tuesday's premiere from Chicago. And at the end of this post, we'll have more on how you can get involved in our last AYTO post of the season, which we're saving just for the fans.

- As we begin, please note there is explicit language in many of the tweets below, but I am keeping it uncensored in order to retain the heat of the moment. So if you are mature enough, please read with discretion. :-)

So, following the jump, join us for the five-day countdown to the finale of Are You The One? Season 2.

- @CSUAKirk: @busdriversroute @MTVRWNews Season  2 like a Bri and Curtis maybe?
- @busdriversroute: @CSUAKirk @MTVRWNews Maybe. But biggest thing is just mixing it up. Worst thing the Challenge can do is be complacent. I'm 1000% on board.

Well, that's just the start of this 2-part edition of DC SocialPulse covering the week-long buildup to the finale of Are You The One? Season 2, which in a season that has had plenty of great episodes, they definitely saved the best for last. We'll be covering that finale coming up later with all of the interaction before, during and after that episode on Monday, along with my view on the road the group would ultimately take to either victory or defeat.


Calling All Fans for DC Fan's View - AYTO2 Reunion Revealed

Finally, it's mission time on here, and I'm leaving it to you, the fans. For our last AYTO post of this season (next week is the penultimate one), DCBLOG will be covering the Are You The One? Season 2 Reunion for our DC Fan's View series, which of course airs next week to wrap up this great season and as the promos will attest, should be an eventful one as well. With this in mind, I'm once again posing a challenge to those in the social media world and to those who are as passionate about these show for this task. And if you're a die-hard fan who got the opportunity to see Team 21 face-to-face recently, then this one is just for you. So, heads up for the following...

   This weekend, I'll be reaching out on social avenues to those lucky handful who went to the reunion to get their input for my AYTO2 Reunion Revealed article, which will be posted here shortly after. In the same way that my twitter friends Andrew Kirk, Brian Cohen, Ali Lasher and Ashley Weitzel do very well on their webcasts, I'll be involving the fans in the conversation for these blog Q&A's on here, just as I did so successfully covering the AYTO1 reunion as well as those for The Real World and The Challenge. And this is the only time that I get to do something that they do best: talk to people on here, just like they do brilliantly in talking with the casts of those three MTV shows.

If you attended the taping of the AYTO2 Reunion back on November 23rd in Los Angeles and would like to discuss it with me here, all you gotta do is to either tweet, follow or send me a direct message to my Twitter @DC408Dxtr, or simply email me directly to dc408dxtr@icloud.com and we'll set things up (i.e. asking for your email address privately via DM, ask for others if they would want to join in, etc.). Of course, with our utmost respect to MTV, I'll be greatly respectful to their embargo and wait until after the reunion airs for me to ask for your insight. All I just need to do is to watch the reunion again after its original airing on Monday to write down notes & put together the very best questions for me to ask, and giving you a chance to collect your thoughts beforehand.

   Then just after at mid-week next week, I'll be emailing a questionnaire for you to fill out - there is not a phone or webcam interview. You'll have a week to answer as many questions in the form as you can, but answering every single question would be beneficial to us. And you should preferably reply back to me within 7-10 days of when you receive it in your inbox. As always, the quicker you reply, the faster I'll be in posting it. But to meet the high demand and exceptional fan interest in the show, I do have a deadline of Wednesday, Dec. 24th, which will be 9 days after it airs so I can have something AYTO-related to post while the buzz is still fresh, and to also post this on Christmas Day. But it's preferred to have it in well before 12/25 so things doesn't get carried away by the holidays.

So, if you were in the audience, make sure that you remember the show very vividly...you might want to jot down notes on everything you got to see live just in case, so you can be ready to answer all the questions I'll be asking you after it airs. And please don't mind the length of the email you'll find in your inbox - it will be anywhere around 25-35 questions. But DCBLOG will make an effort to cover every single aspect of the reunion & the season, plus clear the air on things that need clarification.

   And of course, we'd love to hear about anything we didn't get to see in the final edited version (or in the web extras), along with some behind the scenes scoop too...the kind of scoop that the other gossip sites would make them jealous of this site. We're complimenting posts done by them and the media focusing on the on-air version of it by providing a one-of-a-kind fan's point of view on the entire reunion experience that can't be found anywhere else, just as we did for the first one last spring.

   Here, if you're a passionate fan who got to see everything unfold, I'm saving my very last post of AYTO Season 2 for you, the fans. And as a fellow fan myself, I'm providing you this platform and the mic to talk about the biggest storylines from the season and on the reunion. Though I'm not a webcast host, I love being able to hear what's on your mind and DCBLOG is the ideal place for this. I'm not afraid to ask the tough questions and help provoke conversation among the fans. After all, you are the people who, more than anyone else, drive the conversation of the shows you love. And if you love Are You The One?, be my guest...I'd love to talk to you about it.

Again, the mission if you choose to accept it: if you went to the taping of the AYTO II Reunion in L.A. on Nov. 23, either tweet, follow or send me a DM to Twitter @DC408dxtr or email me directly to dc408dxtr@icloud.com, and to set things up and make things happen. I look forward to hearing from you about it and hope that you'll be able to open up & tell all once we see the reunion along with you. We love to hear your Fan's View and reveal everything from the Are You The One? S2 Reunion right here exclusively on DCBLOG.

And that's all for now, Make sure to follow me at @DC408Dxtr on Twitter and Instagram, and DCNOW, my live tweet home at @DC408DxNow, the venue for my live tweets to Are You The One? and more. For now, until we bring you the Season 2 Finale SocialPulse in just over an hour from now at lunchtime PT, thanks for reading and talk to you in a bit.
