DC WRAP: The Challenge Bloodlines EP 8 and RW Go Big Launch

BY DC CUEVA                           
@DC408dxtr / @DC408dxnow

As most of you return to work & school after the MLK holiday weekend, we bring you an abbreviated edition of DC WRAP for The Challenge Bloodlines and Episode 8. As mentioned in the 'Pulse for this episode yesterday, I'll be forgoing the Things to Know episode review for EP8 and move it to next week (perhaps even later) as I'll be devoting energies to my special DC Sports series on the NFL and football as we head towards Super Bowl 50. The first of those DC Big Game posts will come your way this weekend along with the EP9 posts as well.
    As for last week, we had another one of Bananas' favorite ways of doing things on these Challenges as well as a chance to throw a Challenge go awry. And there was another elimination win for a girl who's the early favorite to win my Breakout Performer award once we reach season's end. But all attention was on a tribute to the late Diem Brown in her sister Faith, and the great CT, joining them at the week's challenge. Of course, we'll have reaction from you, the fans, on this week's events plus Winners of the Night as well.
   We'll also cover have the launch of the Real World season as well, as the moment this season's champion is determined all eyes will shift to Las Vegas and its March debut. And fitting for Sin City, it's Go Big or Go Home as the thrills just keep on coming. All that, plus a Team MTV reunion after the jump.



# Pulse Extra: FAN'S VIEW
First, a change in order. Again with me moving the conventional episode wrap to the coming weekend, first in the running order (as those who are in the TV biz in Britain call the rundown) is the 'Pulse Extra of reaction from you the fans to this week's episode. Here you go...

> 'Pulse Extra: Fan's View
@CSUGradAkirk: Thank you mtv for doing this bringing CT and Diems bloodline this is a very commendable thing you guys did #TheChallengeBloodlines
@CSUGradAkirk: Bananas cousin dissappoints again #shocker #TheChallengeBloodlines
@CSUGradAkirk: Bananas can't act worth crap #TheChallengeBloodlines
@CSUGradAkirk: Don't see why bananas threw it but Anthony throwing it is the right move for him and Kelly Anne #TheChallengeBloodlines
@CSUGradAkirk: It lays on Mitch's shoulders take note of that @busdriversroute  and @lashtweets #TheChallengeBloodlines
@CSUGradAkirk: Man bananas cousin is annoying  af like why would you get in CT's face when he's with Diems lil sister disgusts me #TheChallengeBloodline
‏@CSUGradAkirk: Pb&Olive is that what Mike was making or do I got it wrong #TheChallengeBloodliness
@CSUGradAkirk: Who would've thought one half of the "lay up" would be so good into eliminations #TheChallengeBloodlines
- @dc408dxtr: @CSUGradAkirk well, got an early favorite to win Breakout Performer of this Challenge when I hand out my awards at season's end. #3 for her
- ‏@CSUGradAkirk: @dc408dxtr yea I'm surprised how good she's doing
- @dc408dxtr: @CSUGradAkirk she's taken out Christina, then takes out both Camila & KA. This is a great showing here.
- @CSUGradAkirk: @dc408dxtr well she took camillas bloodline but taking out Kelly Anne was impressive
@CSUGradAkirk: I hope CT is facing Vince in the pit next week #fingerscrossed #TheChallengeBloodlines
@CSUGradAkirk: In other mtv news I'm digging the new theme for real world  real world go big or go home is a dope title tool
@busdriversroute: In the span of an hour tonight I get to watch CT on The Challenge and then become a billionaire. #blessed
@busdriversroute: Thought I lost a winter hat & my initial reaction was, "I'm gonna be a billionaire in a few hours I'll just buy the weather." So confident.
@busdriversroute: So the new season of the Real World is actually just a 3 month combine for the Challenge? Can't say I hate it.
‏@busdriversroute: "Anthony listens to everything I say. Why can't everyone else just do that?" What Bananas really meant to say #TheChallengeBloodlines
@busdriversroute: Seriously who's cutting onions. They need to stop that. #TheChallengeBloodlines
@busdriversroute: Total and complete chills with this Diem flashback. Un freaking real. #DiemStrong #TheChallengeBloodlines
@busdriversroute: Uh oh Bananas, you have the wrath of Brianna coming at you now. GAME OVER. #TheChallengeBloodlines
@busdriversroute: "I saw that. I saw that by the way." @tjlavin subtweeting in real life like a champ. #TheChallengeBloodlines
- @busdriversroute: @TJLavin We're basically bff's at this point...nbd
@busdriversroute: Bananas is just trolling at this point. Honestly I'm starting to love it. Just screwing over everyone equally. #TheChallengeBloodlines
@busdriversroute: Back up Brianna. Get off of @robcesternino turf with the magic 8 ball. #TheChallengeBloodlines
@busdriversroute: Kelly Anne has that special form of crazy where she can be laughing, crying and screaming all in one motion. #TheChallengeBloodlines
@busdriversroute: Good thing I didn't lose that hat
@RealityRadioPod: Wow Brianna completed it and not Jenna?! I call set up. Jenna threw it. Lol. #TheChallengeBloodlines ๐Ÿ˜‰
@RealityRadioPod: Wow Brianna completed it and not Jenna?! I call set up. Jenna threw it. Lol. #TheChallengeBloodlines ๐Ÿ˜‰
@RealityRadioPod: Aw! Love you @KellyAnneJudd!!! #TheChallengeBloodlines
@RealityRadioPod: Loving Jenna and Brianna! Hoping they go off next week! :) @JennaCompono @briannajulig
@RealityRadioPod: @JennaCompono You better!!!! Go off Jenna! @JanelMcG's been waiting for you! ๐Ÿ˜‰#TheChallengeBloodlines
@RealityRadioPod: @MTVBananas Don't even sweat it! You're playing Bananas's game. Not anyone else! It's a game. There are multiple ways of playing it. ๐Ÿ‘Œ
@RealityRadioPod: Would like to say I called it! Anthony was Bananas's puppet. Notice it episode 2. #TheChallengeBloodlines
@RepassCody: Believe it. @MTVCoryWharton is the future of the challenge. He can compete with anyone on the show. #TheChallengeBloodlines
@TheSteamer: Hey guys, remember Beth? LOL! #TheChallengeBloodlines
@TheSteamer: Now CT is doing rehearsed intros to challenges? That’s a long way removed from face eating. #TheChallengeBloodlines
@TheSteamer: Love @tjlavin’s cackle as CT fell. #TheChallengeBloodlines
@TheSteamer: I think Jenna would have done better if she didn’t have noodley arms. #TheChallengeBloodlines
@TheSteamer: @busdriversroute He’s basically Dunbar with a better family tree.
@TheSteamer: This hokey throwing of challenges is one of the reasons I wasn’t overly thrilled with this format. #TheChallengeBloodlines
@TheSteamer: Jenna, you coasted on #BattleOfTheExes2. Suck it up and accept your fate. #TheChallengeBloodlines
@TheSteamer: Both times Bananas’ vote didn’t matter. Stop worrying about pity votes. That’s why you don’t win. #TheChallengeBloodlines
@TheSteamer: I’m still at a loss for what Vince would have been in competition with CT “back in the day”. Dial it down, Vince. #TheChallengeBloodlines
@TheSteamer: Did Briana steal that Magic 8-Ball from @robcesternino? #TheChallengeBloodlines
@TheSteamer: Is this some of @DjJesseJ’s favorite, Celebrity Death Match editing on #TheChallengeBloodlines?
@TheSteamer: There should NEVER be an elimination where you have to check times. You should know instantly. #TheChallengeBloodlines
@TheSteamer: Did not win the Powerball so join me here next week for even more #TheChallengeBloodlines snark!
@BarstoolBigCat: Challenge time and the return of the greatest athlete of all time
@BarstoolBigCat: Kellyanne is making Bananas brain hurt in real time.
@BarstoolBigCat: Kellyanne is definitely the type of person that knows a lot of words just not quite sure how to use them.
@BarstoolBigCat: CT! #BlessUp
@BarstoolBigCat: Diem taking off her wig, chills on chills
@BarstoolBigCat: How long did it take CT to memorize his lines there, nailed it.
@BarstoolBigCat: Everything is a lie!
@BarstoolBigCat: Vince got those popcorn muscles.
@BarstoolBigCat: Ryan Hammond  RT  He's like a slightly stronger Dunbar
@BarstoolBigCat: Love Abe rocking an AWFUL Challenge body.
@BarstoolBigCat: TJ is about to be HEATED
@BarstoolBigCat: People keep correcting me so I think they don't know. Dustin did gay porn, Dunbar did straight porn. Two porn guys in Challenge history.
@BarstoolBigCat: CT was looking down on this challenge, she would never let quitters win.
@BarstoolBigCat: *Diem, but also CT. Taking a lap
@BarstoolBigCat: Anthony has to be so confused and he'll still probably do whatever Bananas says, that's how it works.
‏@BarstoolBigCat: Poor Anthony, did you actually think you and Bananas were boys? What the hell man. That's like falling in love with a stripper.
@BarstoolBigCat: Bananas was there for D because he thought he would have to go up against CT at some point in a future challenge.
@BarstoolBigCat: "You're like Zoolander, you're so creepy" -Vince with an ALL TIME burn that makes less than zero sense
@BarstoolBigCat: Make a free throw Ok State, my God
@BarstoolBigCat: Jenna is a stone cold killer.
@Itslluna: CT and Diem's Sister! #TheChallengeBloodlines
@Itslluna: Loving this tribute for Diem! #TheChallengeBloodlines
@Itslluna: What's the deal with Vince? He's all talk but no game. #TheChallengeBloodlines
@Itslluna: If it was based on performance then Vince should have been into every elimination! #TheChallengeBloodlines
@Itslluna: Vince needs to take several seats. #TheChallengeBloodlines @ChallengeMTV
‏@theballisorange: Just turned on the challenge and holy crap it's dusty in here
@theballisorange: Seeing Bananas choke up is confusing and I'd like to never see that happen again
‏@theballisorange: Jenna and Briana definitely make financial decisions based on the Magic 8 Ball
@theballisorange: Eliminations like this make me think MTV got their asses sued off because of awesome shit like the Hall Brawl
@theballisorange: Cara Maria is the John Madden of Challenge analysts. "You can't win unless you beat the competition."
@theballisorange: Jenna was gonna throw up anyway
@KyleMcCann24: Did anyone else get the chills when Faith and CT came out? #TheChallengeBloodlines
@KyleMcCann24: Come on @MTVBananas you're better than that #TheChallengeBloodlines
@KyleMcCann24: We should live everyday like Diem did! #DoItForD #TheChallengeBloodlines @ChallengeMTV @faith__brown @TheOfficial_CT https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CYprsQHWMAAGAAJ.jpg
@KyleMcCann24: My Girl @JennaCompono keeps on killin it in elimination..she's definitely proved herself @briannajulig #TheChallengeBloodlines
@KyleMcCann24: I lost respect for some of the cast members on #TheChallengeBloodlines esp because they knew how much Diem loved competing
@KyleMcCann24: @ChallengeMTV @MTV I'm not sure who was in charge of the tribute to Diem on Bloodlines but I'm disgusted by the cast members throwing that challenge..not only did it make them look bad..more importantly it was an insult to the memory of Diem. They know how much Diem loved competing & they throw the challenge. I'm disgusted that @tjlavin allowed it happen & didn't call them out on it..y'all should be ashamed of yourselves
@kmacisco: Time to cry bc @TheOfficial_CT and Diem's sister are on #ChallengeBloodlines and we all know I cry over the mention of diem ❤️
@kmacisco: CRYING ALREADY AND NOTHING HAPPENED I JUST SAW CT AND IM SO SAD. RIP Diem #thechallengebloodlines
@kmacisco: CT AND ZACH CT AND ZACH CT AND ZACH #TheChallengeBloodlines

WINNERS OF THE NIGHT
Aside from CT & Diem Brown's sister Faith, for which they're honored at the bottom of yesterday's 'Pulse post, there's only one Winner of the Night for Episode 8.
- Jenna: To win three eliminations in one single season is always one of the great feats any competitor can have on The Challenge. And after what we saw with Adam & Brittany accomplishing that feat on Exes 2, now another name joins them in doing that trifecta. And just as it was for that duo last year in taking care of Dustin and then Jemmye, Jenna eliminated two past finalists from this season: her beating Larissa knocked Camila very early, and now with her beating early favorite KellyAnne seeing the Sydney vet's first elimination loss this far out (only other one was losing last Dome in The Island). The game might not be the best - it will obviously make those who try it get dizzy, but in taking out Kell and notching this 3-0 record as well overcoming early difficulties with Brianna, plus trivia and clever commentary, it certainly makes Jenna early favorite to take my Breakout Performer award at the end.

 REAL WORLD 
GO BIG HOME OR GO HOME

The other big news in the realm of the MTV Trifecta came on Challenge Wednesday as well. The great folks at Entertainment Weekly revealed, as part of their winter/spring 25 Scoops series, the theme, the twist and the cast for Season 31 of Real World. The show (and my first love in the reality TV world) will return to Las Vegas for the third time as yet another twist will bring a totally new element to this television pioneer. We'll dissect all that in a season preview post as we near its premiere on St. Patrick's Day, but for now here's a 'Pulse Extra.

In paying homage to a show that once formed part of the MTV Trifecta over a decade ago in Road Rules, it promises to inject great energy to this reality pioneer in Real World. And of course, where better to put this twist on display than in Las Vegas. And imagine this... the premiere date will be a red letter date. Not only is March 17th Real World premiere day, it's also St. Patrick's Day and it's the first full day of action of the 2016 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. Is it time perhaps to ask for legislation to declare this an unofficial holiday and let everybody a day or two to enjoy hoops and a new Real World as well. Again, DCBLOG will preview this season down the road once we get down to business on Bloodlines.



 #DCExtraTime 
A TEAM 21 VEGAS REUNION

A brief ExtraTime for you here, and there's a picture for us to share with you here. And as we begin the two-month countdown to March 17th and Real World: Go Big or Go Home, recently Las Vegas played host to three guys of the Trifecta whose biggest moment came in Puerto Rico over a year ago.
   What we saw on Season 3 of Are You The One? of the cast playing a bad game for the first nine tries and then pulling off an unlikely 10th round comeback was something incredible. But while Team Ohana scrapped their way to the cash, the Season 2 cast also came from behind as well to win in that final round. But for Team 21, they suffered two no-light blackouts but found a way to win by relying on the Truth Booth. And it was there that they got three of their five perfect matches down the stretch that earned them the 7-figure payday.

    Of course, we saw Christina & Dario on Bloodlines and though they were eliminated near the halfway point, obviously they made their mark. There was Team Eleven's hookup with Tony, and then Dario & Raphy making their presence felt in the rookie alliance that fell short, and Drio getting close with KellyAnne. If things are right on the grapevine, this won't be the only time we will be seeing them on our screens this year...stay tuned of course.
   The Boston twins have now settled into new home quarters in Las Vegas, which is also home base for Brandon, who we saw with Team Eleven all during that season last year and had dominated those weekly challenges as well...perhaps he can translate that success into a future Challenge. And just over a week ago, they had the chance to play host to the one who held that final key to the $1 million with one bold move that got everyone talking at the 10th and last match-up ceremony.

   If you saw AYTO Season 2, then you saw former football player Layton. During that season, we saw him with several girls and got into it with Anthony the same week their parents came to town and suffered that 2nd no-light MC. At the last MC, when having the last choice among those in the house after the rest of those five non-Truth Booth matches had made their choices, Layton had to choose between Christina or Tyler after they had 8 lights the previous round. After being aligned to Tyler, he went with the blonde girl, which put everyone in for a loop and scared the living daylights of everyone in putting their payday in jeopardy, but it didn't matter as they won the cash.
   There above in Vegas while on a weekend trip there, Layton got to hang out with Dario and with Brandon. And considering how dramatic that house was that season in Puerto Rico, it's all good now in looking back on that experience. And again, if things are right on the talk in the drumbeat, we could be seeing them in the future. Stay tuned.

And that will bring to a close the Week 7 Bloodlines posts. Of course, you can expect DCBLOG to bring you up to date on Episode 9 here this weekend (or early next week) as a showdown looms on the horizon in Turkey. In the meantime, here's where you can hear more from our webcast partners:

● For someone who's emerged as early contender for best webcaster this season, Ashley Weitzel-Hill (@AshleyWeitzel) has been able to snag some BIG guests on her Google+ show by Mulyx Media. Over the weekend, Abram & Michael joined Ashley from the frontier to chat about their Week 6 Pit win, them entering the season midway and of course Cara Maria, among others. And yesterday, Tony rejoined her to, of course, talk about his dramatic early-season stint in Turkey, Madison and so much more. Check out both of those interviews, along with Candice, Shane, Tony's RW Skeletons castmate Violetta and Big Brother's Johnny Mac on MM's YouTube channel.
Brian Cohen (@BusDriversRoute) and Ali Lasher (@LashsTweets) had plenty to talk about on the EP 8 edition of the MTV RHAP on Rob Has A Podcast. They got to discuss the Diem tribute, that thrown challenge attempt and the elimination spin-o-rama. Also check out Brian's Bus Drivers Route blog to see the updated fantasy Challenge leaderboard plus previous shows here & YouTube. And as the reunion is being taped this week, also read his blog posts on his two reunion experiences too.
● There's our favorite video recap host, Ace Nichols (@AceNichols33), who you can check out her recaps for all the Bloodlines episodes on YouTube. As of press time, she has not posted her Episode 8 recap as she has recently attended to doing some moving down there in SoCal, but do check it when it's posted. And also check out AfterBuzz TV and their recaps at www.afterbuzztv.com.
● And check out Andrew Kirk (@CSUGradAKirk) and all of his MTV coverage on YouTube, SpreeCast, BlogTalkRadio and the BTRTV blog - including his must-listen chats with many across the MTV Trifecta. I plan to again bring AK back on here at season's end for our traditional post-season wrap and to preview Real World Go Big once we crown a winner, so do join in here then.


Tomorrow as you watch the episodes out west, join the discussion at #DCChallenge... you may see your thoughts in this weekend's posts. Along with that, I plan to live tweet NFL Championship Weekend action and other sports on my live coverage home - DCNOW at @DC408DxNow, schedule pending & subject to change. And of course, you can follow my other TW hub @DC408Dxtr.
   And as for here, make sure to bookmark DCBLOG for full MTV Trifecta coverage: Pulse diaries, Wraps, dedicated ExtraTime posts and more. But starting perhaps as soon as this weekend, my focus will shift slightly to the first of a special DC Sports series entitled DC Big Game 50, as I'll have a number of posts looking at the NFL and football as we approach the Super Bowl. I also plan to utilize DCNOW, DC Instagram at IG @DC408Dxtr and DCBLOG for my SB coverage depending upon which events I will go in the Bay to in the week leading up to February 7th.

Again, thanks for reading and until tomorrow on DCNOW, thanks for reading and talk to you then.

- I AM DC
