After an eventful week both in the nation's capital and outside of it, you all can finally breathe a sigh of relief that we've arrived at the weekend. And that means one thing: DCBLOG bringing you our view of the MTV Trifecta, and The Challenge XXX: Dirty 30… already an eventful season and it's only week 2.

   Last week, our group of competitors arrived in Columbia to all of the usual pomp and circumstance and, of course, Johnny Bananas' opening toast. However, the first challenge began with 28 players due to CT being stuck at the airport and Ashley bolting due to her not being fully ready to defend her title. And along with the usual suspects winning safety from elimination, it's the twists that got everyone buzzing: $1 million in prize money, The Purge of multiple players being eliminated in the first week, and those who thought they went home getting moved into the Redemption House.

   This week, the competitors have to deal with an attack from just off shore, as a group of rotten tomatoes aim for the players left in the main house. Meanwhile, a player with a history of playing dirty and who made that move to send a champion packing to that secondary house brings his plans out in the open which may lead to his destruction. That champion finally arrives in the house along with a girl intent on making up for what happened last time out, while in the Redemption House a night of big time drama could spell the end for two housemates before they surprise everyone.

Coming up, all the action, reaction and interaction from Week 2, which also includes Twitter drama and the heartbreaking news of a fan favorite couple splitting up. And after the diary, we'll look back at a romance between two Texans spawned when they, a champion and two current competitors on this Challenge season went through their original show's extreme makeover.

   A champion returns, attack of the killer tomatoes, controversy in Redemption Island, and Exes reunite. It's all ahead on our look at week 2 of The Challenge XXX as DCBLOG goes Inside The MTV Trifecta.

►IN BETWEEN... - Bodyshamed, and Britni & Chuck in Splitsville

►THE FIGHT: The Aftermath

@SimoneJKelly: Lets be clear. Shane has a fucking drinking problem. He's had 2 DUI's and has to breathe into a fuckin machine before he starts his vehicle.
@SimoneJKelly: As his brother...
@SimoneJKelly: Breaking a bottle and WALKING AWAY on my own will was the biggest thing I could have done in that situation. Period.
@SimoneJKelly: The argument was NEVER about my hair. Lets be clear. Believe the painted pictures u want. The conversation was about the demographics of The show and the way it's casted. Shane, being drunk was somehow "offended" by me saying the network doesn't cast as many African Americans
@TheShaneRaines:  Just to clear things up I didn't hit Simone she said something inappropriate, I called her out and she didn't like what I had to say.
- @MTV_AMANDAG: @TheShaneRaines I know you were wasted but you definitely smacked her twice on the side of her head. You should just own up to it and admit you fucked up... It's not fair for you to get out of what you did just because the cameras were there... @SimoneJKelly didn't deserve that AT ALL
- @JustJem24: @MTV_AMANDAG @TheShaneRaines @SimoneJKelly Ummm Amandaaaa let us know what really went down mamaaaaaa
@TeaTimeWithToya: So the☕️is that Simone & Shane fight was really about race..not grease.But this is a TV show & it is edited for entertainment purposes only
- @JustJem24: @TeaTimeWithToya Tea. Time. With. Toya. Come all the way thruuuuu girl
- @TeaTimeWithToya:  @JustJem24 💋
@MTV_AMANDAG: He drank a whole bottle of NyQuil & had a half bottle of wine w/vodka drinks on top of that..he was WASTED. &if u dont believe how out out of control he really was TAKE A LOOK AT DEVINS ARM. Dev had to put him in a choke hold to get him off of her!!! Devin also had to go to the hospital because he bit so hard it broke skin... Simone's braid was also ripped out as well....
@MTV_AMANDAG: I'll be going live right now to try and explain this shit better cuz 140 characters isn't enough to explain! @mtv_amanda
@TheShaneRaines: "@thecamilanatorr: @TheShaneRaines why did they send you home then? if you didn't hit her, wouldn't they have let you stay?" RT Bc the cameras weren't there to prove it. She didn't have any marks on her face bc I didn't put any
@CohenBrian_: This Shane v Simone fight is like the folklore of Babe Ruth homers. In 3 years people will say they had a duel to the death #TheChallengeXXX
@TheShaneRaines: Here are the marks she left on my face. I didn't hit her, that's why she didn't have any marks on her. #receipts https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DFoQNYhVwAAkYcm.jpg
@MTV_AMANDAG: Btw I never had a problem with shane. I think he's a good fun guy when he's sober. People make mistakes but you need to own up to them first  To grow and become a better person!! I don't want y'all to hate him bcuz hopefully he's working on it but I do want ppl to know the truth.
- @TheShaneRaines: @MTV_AMANDAG Yall were out there for 2 hours drinking b4 me n Toya evn came out there. & Simone's ur bff so maybe that's why you're confused n lying rn🙄 And a WHOLE bottle of NyQuil come on girl😂😂
- @MTV_AMANDAG: @TheShaneRaines Shane come on.... I'm not coming at you in any way I'm just asking for you to own up to your mistakes
- @MTV_AMANDAG: @TheShaneRaines Okay maybe it wasn't "NyQuil" it was whatever Colombian cough syrup shit you bought at the corner store.
@SimoneJKelly: Eating steak and lobster.  #Unbothered  I'll watch #TheChallengeXXX when I get home on DVR.
@MarieeTBD: @TeaTimeWithToya waiting for you to spill. #truthtimewithtoya @ChallengeMTV #thechallengexxx
@mtvrrdarrell: "@annamguerra: Where was @mtvrrdarrell during the Simone/Shane fight? #TheChallengeXXX" RT 😴😴😴😴
@MTVDevinWalker: My stance on the fight last night has remained consistent. For those confusing it, here it is again.
@MTVDevinWalker: The fight between @TheShaneRaines and @SimoneJKelly should have never turned physical. Idk who took it from verbal to physical first
@MTVDevinWalker: However there was a fight and both were wrong. 2 good ppl that made a mutual mistake. Both deserved to be sent home.
@SimoneJKelly: After watching last nights episode & racking up my blocked users... I decided I had to the time… https://www.instagram.com/p/BXBHUNLniVY/
@hbarfield13: Holy shit at the drama #dirty30 #whereisthelove
@MTV_AMANDAG: Remember....The truth will set you free! 🙌🏻 Goodnight!

So, fireworks already through the first two episodes of Dirty XXX: last week we had twists aplenty, and this week CT finally arrives as does Ashley's replacement Briana. If you remember a cartoon called "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes," then they invaded week 2 for this week's challenge that sees veterans and a few rookies earn safety and voting control which ultimately sees Cory being targeted as payback for his move on Darrell. And in the redemption house, a fight that was never captured on camera sees repercussions for those involved, as Simone and Shane are sent home.
   Much more on this later on the WRAP, and this offers a perfect segue way into this week's first piece of ExtraTime.

 #DCExtraTime 

A TEXAS EXES STORY

What we've seen with Cory making what might be a costly power move on the veterans, Ashley's latest meltdown and seeing Jenna again reminds us that it was four years ago at this time that the Rivals III pair and Barbie's ex were going through their final casting interviews. Shortly after, their MTV journey began in that summer of 2013, where something took place in the Bay Area backyard of yours truly: No, not the America's Cup and Oracle Team USA's miracle comeback but something else.
   In the Polk District of San Francisco, this was where the reinvention of a reality TV icon took place when MTV decided to mess around with history and redid The Real World as we know all it and as we knew it before, as it returned to where it had its most significant season. For Season 29 which would ultimately be titled Real World Ex-Plosion, the show was revamped in most every way: gone was the iconic "This is the true story" intro and other old-school elements, in came more of the behind-the-scenes magic that takes place on the show and an edgier filming style.
   And of course, there was the introduction of what those who've watched The Challenge for years have been used to: twists being thrown into this house of seven strangers. As we look back on it now a few years later, it might be somewhat mixed, but it was the drama of what happened there in the Bay Area made that season so enthralling to watch... and not just because I got to see my neck of the woods on a show I love. No wonder why I have a DVD set of that season in my video library (you can get that on Amazon, by the way).

There were five sets of exes in a Real World Ex-Plosion house that you would consider it to be a more than full house than usual: Arielle & Ashley C., Jenny & Brian, Cory & Lauren, Jay & Jenna, and the person who is our co-subject: Thomas and his ex, Hailey. They came into that house having been an on-again, off-again couple of high school sweethearts for several years including going to the same college and the both losing their virginity to each other. And we saw glimpses of them in the bar in Fort Worth, TX when he left to go out west, and after hitting tennis balls with twin brother Stephen.

   Of course, for a man voted "most likely to be on a reality TV show" in his senior year in his yearbook, little did he know of what awaited him when he touched down in the City, expecting that this would just be a typical Real World season with nothing to worry about. And when Tom did move into the house, he became attracted to one of the two ladies who were given the shaft and didn't have to worry about their exes potentially moving in. Houstonian Jamie came to San Francisco having gone through a rockstar relationship with a member of a rock band who was touring around the country, but given his busy life on the road didn't even bother to take time off tour to move in or spend time with her.

   After learning about their histories of being sexual and how they got to the house, it took until the second episode for the two of them to finally make moves on each other and they hooked up in the club and then back home. But when Jamie began to feel some jealousy of Hailey back in North Texas when she called to check in on Tom, as if on cue her and the three exes flew to the Bay during a roommates' weekend retreat to join SF-based Ashley C. and surprise the roomies upon their arrival.

   With him having made it official with Jamie, Thomas pretty much knew ther he was in for a weird rest of his stay in the city with being close to his new girlfriend he had just gotten to know, and his ex Hailey who had just moved in. And during the season, Tom found himself in the middle juggling Jamie and Hailey, and it included the ex going off on him. But in the end, the ladder left early to go back to the Lone Star State, and Tom & Jamie left the Bay Area boyfriend and girlfriend, and stayed together for some time afterwards.

   But after more than a year of enjoying each other's company in commuting between Dallas and Houston, Jamie & Thomas broke up just before he did the first of his three Challenges, Exes II with Hailey. It was on his sophomore go, Bloodlines, that he had a hand in bringing the relationship of Cara Maria and Abram to an end in him kissing Cara in that van in Turkey being caught on camera by Johnny Bananas and her being awarded "Dirtiest Breakup" on The Dirty Awards. And recently - and after what we saw from her which cast a shadow on a Bloodlines season she would eventually win, Cara cut all ties with Abe in a social media rant.
   As for Thomas and Jamie, as we all know time does heal wounds, and just a couple weeks ago, they got to meet for the first time since that breakup. Below is their Instagram post.

Well look who I found in dallas🙃@tombuelljr was good seeing you!

A post shared by Jamie Larson (@jamiechinamtv) on Jul 12, 2017 at 3:03pm PDT

In the comments, while Jenna left a simple "Awww," Cory was left saying "WOOWWWWWWW👀👀👀👀."  And Jamie cleared the air in saying, "We're just friends y'all 😂."  At least, this story has a happy and civil ending, unlike many of the other relationships we've seen in MTV reality land.
