Last week down in Southern California, the teams celebrated the unofficial summer kickoff by bringing together chips, mustard, ketchup and saran wrap as they raced around a track just as we saw on Free Agents a few years ago. A game of pick-up football in the park turns into big drama involving Lolo Jones and Lindsey Jacobellis, while CM Punk got into words with one Johnny Bananas. And in the latest, and likely last, chapter of their epic rivalry which we covered here on Memorial Day, Wes got the best of Bananas in their first-ever elimination battle, and winning the rubber match of their eight-year tussle.
This week, it's Week 3 in the SoCal sun, and this time the focus as far as challenges go turn from agility to brawn as the show again revisits a past challenge, and one from the first season with hour-long weekly episodes - Gauntlet III. Here, the players are given the choice to choose their own matchups when, for the first time this season, the Champs and the Pros go one-on-one. Once again, that girl becomes the center of attention for the newbies, and another champ is given another chance to prove why she's become made for a Challenge in just two seasons. And what happens when a last minute proposal comes up? A pro is put to the test yet again.
We have all the action, reaction and interaction ahead from this week in The Challenge, plus another countdown of The Challenge's most memorable moments in famous meltdowns. And afterwards, ExtraTime will catch up with the two main combatants of one of this year's breakthrough shows as they meet the show that jump-started reality TV's rise and inspired their own show earlier this year.
• 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.
After the jump, the 'Pulse of Week 3 of The Challenge: Champs vs. Pros.

@LouiseHazel: Wes loves the game - I learned it all from him! @WestonBergmann
- @WestonBergmann: @LouiseHazel I'd send you an invoice but I don't want to pay international taxes
@lolojones: Lindsay has the bye so it makes sense to put Tia vs Louis. Both have NOT gone into elimination. Both are similar in weight.
- @LouiseHazel: @lolojones Actually I think me and you are probably closer in weight and strength!
- @lolojones: @LouiseHazel Child please. You weigh 20'ponds less than me and I buatsd your ass on a challenge and you need a breathing machine. Gtfo
- @LouiseHazel: @lolojones Hahaha wow you really are that sour
- @lolojones: @LouiseHazel yah that tends to happens when someone you were cool with is shady af. And that 20lbs by the way is probably all that BS you keep talking
- @candicewiggins: @LouiseHazel @lolojones Clearly Louise's strategy is 2 avoid the elimination challenge by any means nec. U weren't trying to c @lolojones huh @LouiseHazel? Lol
- @LouiseHazel: I was surprised Tia was up, and remember Lolo picked her she could've had me if she wanted to, you COULD say it was the other way around!
- @candicewiggins: Maaaan you know the world needed that match up of you versus Lolo! @ChallengeMTV #ChampsvsPros
- @ChallengeMTV: We don't just want it, we NEED it 🙏 #ChampsVsPros
- @LouiseHazel: @candicewiggins I know!!! It would've have been 💥💥💥 dynamite! 👊🏾
@WestonBergmann: Sometimes I forget exactly how hilarious I am, and then, moments like what's happening right now happens
@ChallengeMTV: When you have to choose between a rock and a hard place 😩 #ChampsVsPros
@ChallengeMTV: MFW @LindsJacobellis said @lolojones' name... 😱 #ChampsVsPros

• • •
So at halftime of Champs vs. Pros, it's brawn taking over as the teams take to a pole to get their opponents out of bounds, and it's the Pros who come away victorious. Ashley M. again goes into elimination, draws up Ashley K. and wins her second straight elimination. But again, the drama revolves around Lolo Jones and what might happen next, in her either facing off against Tia Blanco or Lindsey Jacobellis.
Now, with that not being resolved, again we'll be following through on our policy of not recapping the episode in our WRAP post that is forthcoming here… we'll tell you what will be replacing that in our other weekly post, as well as what's coming up, after this bit of ExtraTime.
#DCExtraTime FOLLOW-UP
WORLDS COLLIDE: STRANDED MEETS SURVIVOR
 |
| The Stranded Final Four: Alex, Makani, Cody & Gina (IG/@AlexApple7) |
Season 1 of Stranded with a Million Dollars saw ten adventurers being marooned in an island in Fiji with the assignment of having to spend 40 days in order to collect a potential seven-figure final payday with that pot being split among those who would go the distance. During this time, six players were not able to make it to the end when they flared up to announce their surrender, and in between we saw a lot of drama and interesting gameplay. In the end, those who watched and lived this experience left satisfied in the final result of the four players who left with a nearly $500,000 payday split four ways, though it's what happened with the two guys at the heart of this that might be the lasting image of this inaugural season of MTV's entry into survivalist reality competition shows.
First, there's Mr. Thrive, Cody. He was that Army Paratrooper who came onto this show in realizing a dream he had to making it onto an MTV reality show being a Real World/Challenge fan for over a decade. He developed a solid bond with New England beauty Makani and, after a couple of their alliance members departed, the two combined to dominate and sweep all the reward challenges that took place on that season and were worthy winners in the minds of many. And yes, there was what we saw from him in having to go pee, and then poo, in the water to try and take out his adversary and his partner which became one of the most intriguing and, shall we say, revealing things we've ever seen on an MTV show. No wonder why in its premiere episode wrap, MTV.com had Cody as the one fans would likely hate on the show and he lived up to that persona there in the islands... and last week, he got to meet a fellow reality TV villain who knows very well the feeling of being hated.

With both him and Cody sharing the same home state, it was inevitable that they would cross paths, and this past week that happened. In the caption for the picture above, Cody wrote, "There are a lot of fakes in reality tv. What keeps these shows thriving are real ass dudes like us. Keep hope alive. 🐐🐐 #MTVstranded #Survivor"
And second, there's Alex... the newsman. He came all the way from Vermont and took a leave from covering Sen. Bernie Sanders on the campaign trail to spend 40 days in Fiji and for the first half of the season controlled the financial part of a game where things we could buy at the local Wal-Mart for $5 or $40 cost $1,000 or even $30,000 in a tent. He led a group called the Core Four which also included San Diego bartender Gina, close friend Alonzo and now new mom Eilish… but after the ladder two flared, Alex & Gina were forced to have to deal with Cody & Makani until Day 40. And yes, they also had to put up with that Watergate situation which they survived somehow, as did them propelling down a waterfall to reach the final evacuation point in the finale. But we also can't forget what Alex did in Week 9 when he decided to take the money they have accumulated up to that point and put some of those bills into a campfire and tore some others.

| IG/@AlexApple7 |
And he got to meet the queen of that season, Sarah Lacina, who was the last one standing on Season 34 of the Eye network's flagship reality show where she and 19 other fan favorites got a second chance at the million and was the worthy winner. Alex wrote of his fellow fan of the show, "I think I've got a new favorite survivor since @sarahlacina is also a Stranded fan. Congrats on a near perfect season of #Survivor #GameChangers! 🏝🎉" Alex also got to meet fellow alum of the show, John Cochran and had his own starstruck moment in seeing pop royalty, for which he tweeted, "Found out today that I chatted up the singer Sia at the Survivor finale for 5-10 minutes and had no idea who she was sans wig." Not only is CBS' Studio City facilities host to the Survivor finale, it is also home base for Entertainment Tonight, and Sia was one of the guests who made their way that day to that landmark of syndication and a staple of prime access (the term for the hour or half-hour before network primetime).
To put this into a financial perspective, in making the 40 days in Fiji, Cody, Alex, Makani and Gina all collected final paychecks of just around $125,000, which actually makes each of them the richest individuals of this Trifecta cycle, just getting by Ashley M. who had $121,250 for winning Invasion, and CT who won $112,500 on the guys' side. And if you're wondering about the ones who won AYTO Second Chances last week, Devin & Rashida won $170,000 and each get to split $85,000. Just behind those two is Hayden, who stole from Carolina $60,000 - making up for that collapse in the Caribbean back in March and no doubt will be enough for him & Gianna to buy themselves a boat for the summertime in the Midwest. And obviously, $50,000 is at stake each week on Fear Factor.
Well, being able to pocket six figures is one thing to get through what we saw on the past few Challenges and on the AYTO spinoff, but pales in comparison to what we saw on Stranded with Team Makody and Team Algina both getting a cut of the cash in being able to get through the ultimate challenge: having to survive over a month in the wilderness on an island, being able to dominate as the first two did, and being able to get through the last week as the other two, makes this one of the big stories in the Trifecta that will sure be discussed on the Debrief later this month.
Coming up tomorrow on the WRAP, we'll be heading inside the Strategy Room to see where Champs vs. Pros stands as we reach the halfway point of this special six-week series. Plus, playing with fire? See which resident MTV madman is doing that, among other things.
As mentioned in our In-Depth on the Bananas vs. Wes rivalry, posts for this and next week will be truncated to just back to basics posts covering. And with the cliffhanger for this episode, the Things to Know review of this episode along with that of next week, will mean it'll now appear in the Week 5 WRAP coming up in two weeks. Why is that, you ask? It's for the reason that in less than a week from now, I will be in Southern California for DC SoCal, and my adventures in Disneyland. As announced on this site first on Memorial Day, I'll be based in the Magic Kingdom next weekend and will be sharing with you my experiences on DCNOW, Instagram, Snapchat and other platforms for where I call home in social world. More details will up here tomorrow.
