Welcome one and all to the first DC SocialPulse journal of 2017 and to the first weekend of the new year. Coming up, our look at an eventful finale of Real World Bad Blood from Seattle, and our traditional recap of the year that was in reality TV, albeit a belated one. But first, the following...

Every edition of the 'Pulse diary begins with the weekly lead-up to every episode of the MTV Trifecta, which provides you with the overall vibe and feeling of the community of alums and current cast members of the RW/Challenge franchise and Are You The One?, and what they're feeling going into new episodes, the conversations between them, and the odd tweets too. But occasionally when you add them up, the build-up and the episode posts get too long, and sometimes these Extra posts become necessary in order to make the blog experience better here, and split those two into their own posts to make it easier on the eyes. This week is one of those occasions, and this is the appetizer to the main course which will we'll bring you here in a little bit.
   The lead-up to the finale of RW Bad Blood also coincided with the end of the year that was 2016 and the year we're now in, 2017. From the time between Episode 11 and Episode 12 this past Wednesday, there was all of the celebration of the year ending -- a relief for some and for others something to be proud of, and it features New Year's tweets from both in and outside the Trifecta ecosystem - for the sake of those of you who watch the channel as a whole not just for the Triple. Plus, there was the UFC's final event of 2016 which may have seen the last stand for Ronda Rousey, and a birthday for one who's suddenly become a Challenge big name thanks to three finals trips.

- Please note there is explicit language in many of the tweets below, but are kept uncensored in order to retain the heat of the moment. If you're mature enough, please read with discretion. :-)

So, join in after the jump for this special 'Pulse Extra.
