As you all wind down this Sunday and last day of July, welcome back to DCBLOG as we bring you post #3 of our look at the week in the MTV Trifecta. Yesterday, we looked at Francesca from Are You The One? and her musical career that began on The X-Factor, and later the 'Pulse of her show as she was part of the drama involving the man they call the Wolf in Hawaii. Now, we bring you the other half of the social interaction with the 'Pulse of The Challenge as we've arrived at our final destination for Rivals III.
Last week, we had the last competitions in Mexico as, what turned out to be, the season's last regular challenge identified the season's key players in the quest for the cash. But much of the focus was on Jenna as her veteran Challenger boyfriend Zach broke her heart many miles away, which put into question whether she could make it three for three in finals appearances. We then saw a true Battle of the Bloodlines in the week's elimination as cousins Nany and Nicole faced each other for spots in the final four in Argentina, and it was the ladder who won that battle as Nany would, after the episode air, announce her retirement from these shows.
Now, all roads lead to Argentina for the final part of this most eventful season. First things first this week, the final four teams arrive in South America for something a bit unusual. There, they will go straight into the season's last Jungle elimination with all four teams being eligible to be sent in, and once again the game is left to both fate and luck as that will decide which teams will make their way into the final and who will be dared to go in by competing in a grueling last Jungle. And it's after the teams are determined that they will encounter an unprecedented, jaw-dropping surprise twist that shocks everyone. Also, a player who's been taunted since arriving in Argentina questions whether or not to leave, fueling tensions before the competition really begins.

Ahead, all the social action, reaction and interaction from the Challenge end of this week, along with the aftermath of Monday's AYTO. Also included is someone who could become the next big thing in music, and flashbacks by a Challenge legend. And as this is the last weekend where there's no NFL games until mid-February as Training Camp has commenced, you'll want to stick around for ExtraTime as three quarterbacks get a chance to mingle with Team MTV.

Well, it's gonna be anything but a cakewalk as the final begins. Bananas & Sarah won the last Jungle in beating out Dario & Nicole to get their ticket to the final - and once again, Johnny wins a last elimination which would usually mean good things for him. Of course, it's the twist that has everyone talking in a point system being implemented among the teams that should they win the final, the player who amasses the most points has the option to split it evenly or take the money and screw over their partner. So far, Sarah has the edge in that power group and it's Devin & Cheyenne who are now second after the first stage. And we also saw those two at the heart of drama again in an argument with Jenna and her getting bullied but in the end, they're gonna be that Cinderella team if they should finish. And it's the sweetheart who makes her third straight final - and if you thought that was possible then thank your lucky stars. We'll have more on DC WRAP coming up tomorrow.

Summer of Sports
Summer of Sports
FAMOUS FRIENDS: QUARTERBACKS
On the same day that we saw the start of this last phase of this Rivals season - the fifth major pro sport, the one sign that fall is coming came at various cities across the country when NFL Training Camp began in the heat of the summer. As we wrote here last year when we looked at NFL Films in our sports series, we're into that time where one sport will grab our attention and never let go until February... that is, with perhaps the exception of this year when 28 sports will do that starting Wednesday when women's group soccer matches begin the Rio Olympics before the Rivals finale. And as we present this post to you, this is the last weekend that there isn't an NFL game to look forward to, as the Hall of Fame Game between Green Bay and Indianapolis takes place next week.
It's with this in mind that we'd like to look at those times when the Trifecta gets to intersect with those who are, no doubt, the leaders of that offensive platoon and where teams' fortunes can hang by a thread just by what he does guiding teams late in the 4th. Of course, we are talking about the quarterback of an NFL team. And we'd like to share with you three instances of these sightings.
From: TW @EricBanks |
The Super Bowl XLV MVP has been longtime friends with one of The Challenge's Eric Banks and they often hang out with one another during the NFL offseason, most especially for his home state's biggest party in as The Kentucky Derby, as you see on your right from when American Pharoah began his run to glory at the 2015 race. It's been ten years since we first saw Big Easy on Fresh Meat I, and it's because of his role of one of the Trifecta's most-infamous moments -- him gassing out and being medically evacuated from the Guantlet III final and costing his packed Veteran team a win -- that inspired him to get fit and healthy, and made great strides in losing 70 lbs. from where he was at 310 when he began. It's also why when players are given that call to be a Challenge, they must get in tip-top shape for everything that awaits them. And as we told you here, Eric now does travel in helping students to Spring Break right each March.
IG @WesBuckles |
It was the day after his Are You The One? cast had their million dollar moment in March 2014 that a member of those Originals - Wes Buckles - got to meet RG3 in his then-Phoenix hometown and was among the first to get congratulated on their win. He posted on Instagram, "Looking like a damn crest commercial 😁 Had the pleasure of meeting that dude Robert Griffin (RGIII) yesterday 🙌 He's a fan of #areyoutheone.. Who knew? Lol Real cool dude tho. Much love and support from the west coast bruh." And when news of Griffin's move to Ohio came, Wes reposted, "#TBT to that one time I got to meet and talk it up with that guy @rgiii. It's been a rocky road but you're gonna do some amazing things in the #dawgpound! Blessings on blessings." Similar to what may happen in the season's homestretch, Wes was in a love triangle with Kayla and Ryan during his season and the group voted them in consecutive weeks to determine their fate, which in the end saw Wes and the now local news anchor become their third Truth Booth match.
IG: @Dean_BP (Kaepernick wearing NY hat to Dean's left) |
Well, one person has had the chance to become friends with Kaep - and that would be Dean from the most recent Real World season, Go Big or Go Home in Las Vegas earlier this year. In a screencap of a IG picture from Dean's hub I took before he deleted it to keep the number of pics there to just a minimum, you see Dean hanging out with Kaep and fellow friends during the offseason after their run to New Orleans and SB XLVII. The QB isn't the only well-known person Dean got to hang out with before he made his way to the Gold Spike in DTLV - Downtown Las Vegas if you don't know: he also got to do a cameo part on the FOX comedy Anger Management with that show's star Charlie Sheen, all as aspects of the comedian's personal life has been put out in the public eye of abuse and him contracting the HIV virus. Of course, Dean got divorced before going to Sin City, then saw him go in drag, celebrate being single and being more likable than most of the house.
Starting pitching in baseball, a power forward in hoops, a goalkeeper in hockey and soccer...they all hold keys to their teams' success in their various sports. But no one holds the fate of any football team - pro, college, high school - than a quarterback. He controls the offense when they have the ball, provides leadership to the team, and can be the one who is given the most praise or the biggest blame if they win or lose. All three of the quarterbacks we've profiled here have all made their marks in the NFL, and now as we look forward to the new season, Rodgers looks to lead his Packers to the top of the league, while RG3 looks forward to starting anew in what's become a sports capital of late, and Kaepernick will be anxious to prove himself when the ball falls into his hands.

That will bring to an end this 'Pulse two-day doubleheader here as this very post is the 100th post we've done here in 2016. We're already on pace of leaving far behind the previous record of 103 that we did in 2014 with just a handful of MTV posts left (we reached that mark in December), and obviously our Rio Games posts that begin this week after we do our WRAP for this week tomorrow. We'll have a trip into the Strategy Room to look at the final three as it stands and predictions of who will win, plus results of my first-ever Twitter polls from you, the fans. We'll also let you in on who would make Sarah's most ideal rival, and which "Original" got to see an O.G.
Meantime, make sure to follow DCNOW @DC408DxNow for an epic August coming up: We'll have the finales of the MTV Trifecta with the Rivals III finale on Wednesday, and the stretch run of Are You The One?. But all attention will be focused on the Rio Olympics with live tweets each day & night of competition, starting with the U.S. Women's National Team opening defense of their gold medal Wednesday at 6PM Eastern. We'll also have the Opening Ceremony on Friday and of course live tweets and updates throughout the fortnight from Brazil. Concurrently, DCBLOG will have Games '16 posts throughout the Olympiad as we look at the various aspects of the Games, along with of course our Trifecta coverage. And of course, follow me @DC408Dxtr on my social platforms.
For now, thanks for reading and hope you enjoy your Sunday night. See you back here tomorrow.
- I AM DC
