@DC408Dxtr / @DC408DxNow

Welcome back everyone to DCBLOG as we bring you more of this week in the MTV Trifecta, as we shift our focus from yesterday covering Are You The One? to now looking at The Challenge: Rivals III. When a game such as this reaches its late stages, this is generally when the game gets intense and where we find out who's in it to win it. Episode 11 is again proof of this very premise.
   Last week, the girls were buried alive when the guys are asked questions about them that not only determined who knows their partners better but also who was speedy in helping the girls out when they need them the most. But it's what happened when Dario & Nicole became power team that caused rain to fall on the house when they catch Cory & Ashley dealing both ways, and caused her cousin Nany to lose it as well, all before an elimination that could have a ripple effect on the game.
   And that's where this week's episode begins as the game gets turned on its head once again by a yet another shocking result in that jungle. The attention then turns to a challenge where teamwork is put to the test right above the sea. It's what happens with who wins that and the ensuing Jungle that perhaps could set the tone for the rest of the game, and where one of the competitors lies either with the one she's become close with in the house, or the one she's close with as a cousin.
   Ahead, all the action, reaction and interaction from the Challenge end of this week in the Trifecta. This includes many of the competitors heading up to New York for the traditional matters related to the end of this season. Afterwards on ExtraTime, as the Rio Olympics now stand less than three weeks away, we'll look back to those two times when two Challengers got a mingle with two Olympians who will have a chance to take gold yet again in Brazil.

- As we begin, please note there is explicit language in many of the tweets below, but they are kept uncensored in order to retain the heat of the moment. So if you are mature enough, please read with discretion. :-)
- Plus, if you haven't watched the episode yet, then do not proceed with reading this post. But need not worry...DCBLOG will compile all of these tweets into these posts after every episode so you won't be in the dark of how your favorites saw this all unfold.

A stunning jungle upset, the growing tension between two cousins, and the veterans take command... DCBLOG has The Rivals Week That Was covered for you next.

There's a practical reason why I didn't do a standard DC WRAP post last week and why you saw the Rivals I long-form post here back on Wednesday...it's because of the cliffhanger that ended Episode 10 and began Episode 11, which also saw a double elimination. There, we had Cory & Ashley get beaten out by Nate & Christina in an all-time Challenge elimination shocker. We also saw the veterans take command of this game in Bananas & Sarah winning once again, while Wes & Nany took the elimination battle as Ginger responded to the 5-time champ putting him into the Jungle. And we also saw more clarity on the relationships Nicole has with Nany and with Nate as well. We'll have the past two episodes of Rivals III covered on an expanded edition of DC WRAP tomorrow.

GAMES '16: TEAM USA'S FAMOUS FRIENDS

Switching our attention now to the equally-strong passion I have of the Olympics: the past week has seen the last major pieces of Team USA being put together as we now stand less than three weeks away from the beginning of Rio 2016. A mix of experience and veterans will headline the American contingent in the major draws of track & field and swimming, including Michael Phelps, Allyson Felix, Katie Ledecky and Ashton Eaton. Many of last year's Women's World Cup-winning Women's Soccer Team - including Carli Lloyd, Hope Solo, Alex Morgan & Megan Rapinoe  - will return for more glory in Rio, while newly-minted Warrior Kevin Durant will lead the 2016 men's basketball Dream Team.
   Considering the depth America has in Olympic sports, making the U.S. Olympic team is considered by most to be harder than competing with the world's best and winning gold, and last weekend saw proof of this at the Women's Gymnastics Trials in a region that's seen many a champion being crowned the past six years: the Bay Area. In San Jose, the competition was as tense and as riveting to the legions of fans who follow this sport year-round, and drawing in the casuals who will sure tune in for this sport in the masses when it takes center stage in Rio on the Games' first weekend. Among those in the crowd included the greatest NBA player of his generation - Kobe Bryant.
   As expected, the sport's most-dominant gymnast and 3-time defending all-around world champion, Simone Biles, finished first overall and gained the automatic berth in Rio - and barring any obstacles should have an easy path to joining Mary Lou, Carly, Nastia and Nadia as winners of one of the Olympics' biggest prizes. Simone also got a shoutout from the Texans' JJ Watt where he tweeted to her, "Your name will be far bigger than mine after these Olympics...you are awesome."  She will be joined on the team by first-time Olympians Laurie Hernandez and Madison Kocian, while the men's team will be led by veterans Sam Mikulak and the subject of Gym Class Heroes' "The Fighter" video, John Orozco. They also will include two girls who also got to hang out with a Challenge champion.

It was at this time five years ago that Zach Nichols was out in San Diego living the endless summer filming Real World Back to San Diego. And a year later he was overseas in Turkey and Namibia stomping his way through a rookie field to win Battle of the Seasons 2 with his castmates. We know what's happened for him since then with being boyfriend with five Real World alumni (including Jenna of this season before it fell apart for them as we'll see coming up) and all else, but after that grueling BOTS final Zach flew to London to attend events during the middle weekend of the XXX Olympiad.
   On that same weekend that saw Great Britain win many a gold medal (including Mo Farah, Jessica Ennis and Andy Murray), Zach had a front row seat to seeing Usain Bolt take 100 meters gold and even seeing a man by the name of Paul McCartney in the crowd at the Olympic Stadium. And at the Video Music Awards in Los Angeles a month later, as you see on your right, he got to meet Gabby Douglas, who along with the rest of the Fierce Five of Aly Raisman, Jordyn Weiber, McKayla Maroney and Kyla Ross, won women's Olympic team gold in London and presented on the big show. Raisman has also qualified for the Rio Olympic team, and they are favorites to win a third women's team gold, just twenty years after the Magnificent Seven won that first one at home in Atlanta.

And in swimming, the competition was as intense in Omaha with a number of former Olympians, including Natalie Coughlin and Tyler Clary, finishing out of the qualification spots. Many first time Olympians will be competing in Rio, including Simone Manuel, Leah Smith and Ryan Murphy as they represent the next generation of the American program. As mentioned above, Phelps, Ledecky, Missy Franklin, Nathan Adrian, Conor Dwyer, Dana Vollmer, Connor Jaeger and Challenge champ Tyler Duckworth's BFF Amanda Weir will return to rep the USA in Brazil.
   Also included in that veteran presence is the cool, calm and relaxed swimmer from Florida who's truly one of a kind. Two years ago while we covered Are You The One? Season 2, we showed you Season 1 original (and Exes 2 competitor) Adam Kuhn hanging out with Ryan Lochte when he was in D.C.  Given the intense competitiveness of the Trials where two first-timers out-touched him at the wall, Lochte won't have the opportunity to defend his 400M individual medley gold in Rio, but barring any obstacles he and Michael Phelps are expected to have one last showdown in the 200M IM for which Phelps has won gold at the last three Olympics and Mr. Jeah has dominated in other meets. Last year Ryan won that event at the World Championships when Phelps was off the team for personal reasons, but the 18-time medalist posted the year's top time at last year's Nationals.

Finale night of this Rivals III Challenge is slated for Wednesday, August 3rd, which is also when action in Rio will begin with women's preliminary soccer matches including Team USA opening their Olympic gold defense against New Zealand. As soon as this Challenge ends, half of DCBLOG's focus will shift to the Rio Olympics, and of course we will have regular Games '16 posts during the fortnight. Our first post looking at the Olympic Movement will be posted in the next two weeks.

That is all for this edition of the Rivals III 'Pulse. Coming up on DC WRAP in addition to our usual weekly vignettes, the unfortunate events of the past month have affected one of the competitors in Mexico...we'll explain that, plus you'll join with three Challengers for a weekend in one of America's most scenic settings. And Wednesday, we'll take our first trip into the Strategy Room to look at where Rivals III as we head towards its business end this week.
   Meantime, be sure to join DCNOW shortly for a special presentation, in case you missed it, of the final round of the third major golf championship of 2016 - The Open Championship from Scotland, as 3rd round leader Henrik Stenson, people's favorite Phil Mickelson and golf's best battle for the game's oldest title. All that comes your way at 4PM Eastern at @DC408DxNow, where you can also follow my live tweets of the Trifecta and much more as well.
   And wherever you are after what's been a tough week in the world we live in, we hope that you are safe and sound. For now, thank you for reading and see you then.
