Last week, the challengers' inner Ninja Warrior was tested as they tackled an obstacle course above water and saw many a fall into the waters. But most of the attention were on whoever was left of the Young Bucks alliance: Hunter being dealt an emotional blow when his girlfriend back home broke up with him many miles away, a tense argument with him and Kailah in the club, and his ally Nelson deciding to go all in on Derrick and a swing at him costing his spot in the game.
And while Hunter deals with this latest blow, this week the house still must proceed with the game and picking their elimination opponents for the largest double cross yet. The end result sees a familiar scenario that we've seen this season in two close friends being forced to go up against one another in a twisted elimination, which then sees yet another twist to the players. And a surprise in the game gives the winners of this week's mission -- a chance to smash and then put brains to the test - a chance to make the biggest power move yet.
Coming up, all the action, reaction and interaction to this week's episode and the buzz of Challenge nation, including that rumor swirling around the hotstove, and reaction to the unfortunate events that took place last weekend in Las Vegas. And as TRL makes its comeback to the MTV screens, ExtraTime will feature music at the end of both our Pulse diaries this weekend, and we'll share with you the first of two music videos after the diary featuring one of our Dirty 30.
Going up and down, going smash, and Waking Up... it's all ahead on the Pulse of The Challenge XXX... and, welcome to the weekend.
►IN BETWEEN, and THAT Rumor...

@BB19FanBase: BB18's alum Victor, Corey, Natalie, & Big Meech to be joining MTV's The Challenge for Season 31! https://t.co/zJZOwT9sJK
@GinaMarieZ: I really hope the BB alumni kick those MtV Fuckers asses on the Challenge!!! Y’all lucky I’m not in that house ! I would destroy you all !
@bigbroaccess: So apparently the four are Big Meech, Natalie, Victor, and Corey for #TheChallenge, according to Vevmo. #BB18
@EvelDick: "@ov71toskala: @EvelDick you think victor was the best choice for the challenge? Challenge is all physical/endurance comps if we're talking in bb terms" RT Victor will be good at the comps, he was great at them on BB. Now Corey, why the hell would they want that knob?
@EvelDick: "@dawnstamonster: @EvelDick Way more aggressive. The comps are physically harder too. Im happy they are bringing in fresh meat though." RT I don't understand why they wouldn't put @CodyThrive on, since he was on an MTV show and is a real competitor
@TulaneTerry: Haven't watched "The Challenge" since like, Inferno III, aside from a brief glimpse of Cutthroat. Should I be back in on this now?
- @CodyThrive: @TulaneTerry Ian, imagine if BB was the Paul show not just 18 & 19 but every year. That's the challenge. Except it's the Johnny show. #BB19 #TheChallenge
@CodyThrive: The fact that CBS people are going on #TheChallenge and @russellhantz isn't one of them is complete disrespect to the fans. #BB19 #CBBUS
@RoarkLuskin: The four BB18 Vets on the next season of MTVs Challenge

@dc408dxnow: Tony's performed poorly last week and will want to win this to help the kids the best way he can
@ChallengeMTV: Karma's a bitch 😈 #TheChallengeXXX
@CSUGradAkirk: Free agents @JordanW_usa flipped all the cards to get put in now he's just pulling the D.C. Like it's nothing #Dirty30
@ChallengeMTV: Who do you think is the best, or worst? 🤔 #TheChallengeXXX
@dc408dxnow: At the horn, they're about even. But it's about being speedy to get from down there to up. #DCChallenge
@dc408dxnow: Well… D once again falters, and it's Tony who comes away with the win. Now, another friend vs. friend battle: Aneesa vs. Veronica. #DCNOW
@dc408dxnow: Aneesa is struggling. Veronica is taking advantage of that. Finally she makes her way down. #DCChallenge
@dc408dxnow: Veronica is taking us back to when our common Challenge journeys began on that 2000 season, and she proves herself & then some. #DCChallenge
@CSUGradAkirk: I'm glad @v_cakes won I just believed she needed this win to show she stlll got it! #dirty30
@dc408dxnow: But this is bittersweet as it has been during this. The winners get their "you killed it" sign of appreciation, the losers go to redemption.
@ChallengeMTV: Thought you were safe? THINK AGAIN! 😈 #TheChallengeXXX
@CSUGradAkirk: No secret this time @tjlavin just straight up told em they're going to redemption house #dirty30
@dc408dxnow: Everyone's on edge now w/ Dario & Aneesa sure to get another shot. Jemmye, Brit and Veronica are chatting about this
@dc408dxnow: Jordan not happy that the losers walk and winners talk, just as Aneesa returns to her second home. And Tony talking about that move on him
@dc408dxnow: Camila & Cara Maria and Kailah & Jenna… tale of two teams, as we now enter our next mission. Blackout. #DCChallenge
@v_cakes: That win felt good but I wish it wouldn't have been against a friend #thechallengeXXX
@v_cakes: rose all day @MTVBananas
@ChallengeMTV: I'm liking where this alliance is going 👏 #TheChallengeXXX
@CSUGradAkirk: @t_raines33 is doing his thing this season take away all the crap he's doing away from the challenge from field dude can play #dirty30
@CSUGradAkirk: If Tony wouldve realized he was at the bottom earlier he would've been a good asset in the Cory Nelson Hunter alliance #Dirty30
@ChallengeMTV: THINGS JUST GOT INTERESTING! 😱 #TheChallengeXXX
@dc408dxnow: Blacked out room. Then a puzzle. And the usual stuff to win your way into safety, put players in elimination, and one more thing…
@dc408dxnow: They're gonna send one guy and one girl home straight from this game without a trip to elimination or the redemption house. #DCChallenge
@dc408dxnow: Now whoever wins tonight gets the power to become the next target bc of pulling off the dirtiest move yet as they begin #DCChallenge
@ChallengeMTV: Who would you send into the Redemption House if you won this Challenge? 🤔 #TheChallengeXXX
@dc408dxnow: Bananas is doing the padlock as they're now gonna put this puzzle together after getting out of the room
@dc408dxnow: This is a hard task of having to put together a simple puzzle which is testing everyone on here.
@ChallengeMTV: TJ is low key so savage 😈 #TheChallengeXXX
@dc408dxnow: Well, TJ is smirking at everyone struggling as they're trying to put this together. Whoever wins gets that power
@CSUGradAkirk: You think last season the underdogs had a bloodbath this challenge was more of a literal bloodbath #dirty30
@dc408dxnow: And green wins. Veronica is tonight's MVP in winning the elimination and then getting to put together that puzzle. Everyone's on edge.
@tjlavin: "@BARLOW253: Hey @tjlavin are you an challangers good friends outside of the show? That laugh reminds me of laughing at best friends being idiots" RT I've grown to love em all...
@dc408dxnow: Now comes the hard part of having to put someone into the presidio and someone to join Dario & Aneesa. Another long week of wondering.
@AneesaMTV: I still believe in karma, but I take back the nice shit Ive said. Yall don’t deserve that much kindness
@AneesaMTV: These girls on the #challenge are phony as hell. #growup
@ChallengeMTV: It's called fashion, look it up 💁 #TheChallengeXXX http://on.mtv.com/2uJEZBk https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DLU-SmiWkAEl3te.jpg

@ToriFiorenza: Today I'm going to take a play out of Mrs. obama's playbook...when they go low, we go high... ✌🏼use somebody else to stay relevant.
@ToriFiorenza: I used the words "get lit" today...I've never been more disappointed in myself. What does that even mean?! 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
@ChallengeRWRR: “Veronica is weak and I want her to prove herself” *veronica is tied with Evelyn with most challenge wins for females* #TheChallengeXXX
@ChallengeMTV: .@AneesaMTV survived the Redemption House once, can she do it again?! Stay tuned to find out! 🤔 #TheChallengeXXX http://on.mtv.com/2kmR4YR
@CohenBrian_: That was an unbelievable episode of The Challenge. Of course they castrated it with a "to be continued" but I like to look on the positive.
@ChallengeMTV: I've never been so jealous of a puzzle piece before in my life 😭 Rewatch last night's #TheChallengeXXX right here: http://on.mtv.com/2uJEZBk https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DLU3AvCWsAI4ZoW.jpg
So under somewhat trying circumstances, we saw Veronica turn the clock back a few years in beating Aneesa in the week's elimination, and Tony add more to his season winning over Dario in a close battle... and both who were defeated getting another shot in redemption. Mirroring what we're now having in Halloween, the players got to channel their inner scary side having to smash a window to put together a puzzle. And the team who won that, Team Green, now being given a chance on the spot to provide Aneesa and Dario some company. We'll delve more into the Road Rules vet's awakening and more later this weekend on the WRAP.
On Monday, the show that helped make MTV the place to be in the late 90's and 2000's - Total Request Live or "TRL" - made its grand comeback with the likes of Ed Sheeran, Nick Jonas and Demi Lovato joining the fun in the iconic Times Square studio. For premiere day, two members of Team MTV were in that crowd seeing new history being made: Mark of the new series 90's House (and a huge 'NSYNC fan whose fantasies came true in dancing in front of Lance Bass and Joey Fatone on this week's episode) and David from 2014's Virgin Territory. The guys joined new hosts DC Young Fly, Amy Pham, Erik Zachary, Lawrence Jackson and Tamara Dhia and a slew of content creators as TRL was revived for a new generation.
EDITORS' NOTE: As we begin this week's diaries, please note that the length of this Pulse diary is shortened a bit as many of this season's castmates are now overseas to film Season 31 of The Challenge. We'll be explaining more on a rumor that's been going swirling around surrounding the rumored cast of that season on a special edition of DC FORUM coming up later this weekend.
►IN BETWEEN, and THAT Rumor...

@GinaMarieZ: I really hope the BB alumni kick those MtV Fuckers asses on the Challenge!!! Y’all lucky I’m not in that house ! I would destroy you all !
@bigbroaccess: So apparently the four are Big Meech, Natalie, Victor, and Corey for #TheChallenge, according to Vevmo. #BB18
@EvelDick: "@ov71toskala: @EvelDick you think victor was the best choice for the challenge? Challenge is all physical/endurance comps if we're talking in bb terms" RT Victor will be good at the comps, he was great at them on BB. Now Corey, why the hell would they want that knob?
@EvelDick: "@dawnstamonster: @EvelDick Way more aggressive. The comps are physically harder too. Im happy they are bringing in fresh meat though." RT I don't understand why they wouldn't put @CodyThrive on, since he was on an MTV show and is a real competitor
@TulaneTerry: Haven't watched "The Challenge" since like, Inferno III, aside from a brief glimpse of Cutthroat. Should I be back in on this now?
- @CodyThrive: @TulaneTerry Ian, imagine if BB was the Paul show not just 18 & 19 but every year. That's the challenge. Except it's the Johnny show. #BB19 #TheChallenge
@CodyThrive: The fact that CBS people are going on #TheChallenge and @russellhantz isn't one of them is complete disrespect to the fans. #BB19 #CBBUS

@dc408dxnow: Well, everyone's jaw-dropped over what happened w/ Nelson being sent home for his actions which have sent him home for behavior #DCChallenge
@dc408dxnow: CT wants to put in Dario, Hunter wants Jordan. But the rest of the winners go with the former. #DCChallenge
@dc408dxnow: Kailah votes for Veronica based on just wanting to prove herself. Camila likewise. Hunter burns vote for Jemmye. CT picks Veronica. #DCNOW
@ChallengeMTV: When you're a multiple-time Challenge Champ and are called weak 😂 #TheChallengeXXX
- @v_cakes: @ChallengeMTV MOODS
@ChallengeMTV: Facts! OGs don't mess around 👏 #TheChallengeXXX
@dc408dxnow: Everyone else except winners in double cross. Veronica wants to go for Britni, Aneesa fearing she could go in if she doesn't get XX
@dc408dxnow: Biggest selection get for the cross. Everyone's in red except the winners. And it's a stacked group w/ some good male competitors.
@dc408dxnow: Britni: X. Tori: XX. And she picks Aneesa in a revenge vote after what happened earlier in this season. #DCChallenge
@ChallengeMTV: OK, @JordanW_usa, can I borrow some of your luck? 🍀 #TheChallengeXXX
@dc408dxnow: Bananas: X. Tony: X. Jordan: XX again. @JordanW_usa is safe again, they gotta put that double cross in his trophy case. #3. #DCChallenge
@dc408dxnow: Tony being voted in. Web of Lies is the game he, Dario, Aneesa & Veronica are playing. And there's a tangled mess awaiting them. #DCNOW
@dc408dxnow: Tony's performed poorly last week and will want to win this to help the kids the best way he can
@ChallengeMTV: Karma's a bitch 😈 #TheChallengeXXX
@CSUGradAkirk: Free agents @JordanW_usa flipped all the cards to get put in now he's just pulling the D.C. Like it's nothing #Dirty30
@ChallengeMTV: Who do you think is the best, or worst? 🤔 #TheChallengeXXX
@dc408dxnow: At the horn, they're about even. But it's about being speedy to get from down there to up. #DCChallenge
@dc408dxnow: Well… D once again falters, and it's Tony who comes away with the win. Now, another friend vs. friend battle: Aneesa vs. Veronica. #DCNOW
@dc408dxnow: Aneesa is struggling. Veronica is taking advantage of that. Finally she makes her way down. #DCChallenge
@dc408dxnow: Veronica is taking us back to when our common Challenge journeys began on that 2000 season, and she proves herself & then some. #DCChallenge
@CSUGradAkirk: I'm glad @v_cakes won I just believed she needed this win to show she stlll got it! #dirty30
@dc408dxnow: But this is bittersweet as it has been during this. The winners get their "you killed it" sign of appreciation, the losers go to redemption.
@ChallengeMTV: Thought you were safe? THINK AGAIN! 😈 #TheChallengeXXX
@CSUGradAkirk: No secret this time @tjlavin just straight up told em they're going to redemption house #dirty30
@dc408dxnow: Everyone's on edge now w/ Dario & Aneesa sure to get another shot. Jemmye, Brit and Veronica are chatting about this
@dc408dxnow: Jordan not happy that the losers walk and winners talk, just as Aneesa returns to her second home. And Tony talking about that move on him
@dc408dxnow: Camila & Cara Maria and Kailah & Jenna… tale of two teams, as we now enter our next mission. Blackout. #DCChallenge
@v_cakes: That win felt good but I wish it wouldn't have been against a friend #thechallengeXXX
@v_cakes: rose all day @MTVBananas

@CSUGradAkirk: @t_raines33 is doing his thing this season take away all the crap he's doing away from the challenge from field dude can play #dirty30
@CSUGradAkirk: If Tony wouldve realized he was at the bottom earlier he would've been a good asset in the Cory Nelson Hunter alliance #Dirty30
@ChallengeMTV: THINGS JUST GOT INTERESTING! 😱 #TheChallengeXXX
@dc408dxnow: Blacked out room. Then a puzzle. And the usual stuff to win your way into safety, put players in elimination, and one more thing…
@dc408dxnow: They're gonna send one guy and one girl home straight from this game without a trip to elimination or the redemption house. #DCChallenge
@dc408dxnow: Now whoever wins tonight gets the power to become the next target bc of pulling off the dirtiest move yet as they begin #DCChallenge
@ChallengeMTV: Who would you send into the Redemption House if you won this Challenge? 🤔 #TheChallengeXXX
@dc408dxnow: Bananas is doing the padlock as they're now gonna put this puzzle together after getting out of the room
@dc408dxnow: This is a hard task of having to put together a simple puzzle which is testing everyone on here.
@ChallengeMTV: TJ is low key so savage 😈 #TheChallengeXXX
@dc408dxnow: Well, TJ is smirking at everyone struggling as they're trying to put this together. Whoever wins gets that power
@CSUGradAkirk: You think last season the underdogs had a bloodbath this challenge was more of a literal bloodbath #dirty30
@dc408dxnow: And green wins. Veronica is tonight's MVP in winning the elimination and then getting to put together that puzzle. Everyone's on edge.
@tjlavin: "@BARLOW253: Hey @tjlavin are you an challangers good friends outside of the show? That laugh reminds me of laughing at best friends being idiots" RT I've grown to love em all...
@dc408dxnow: Now comes the hard part of having to put someone into the presidio and someone to join Dario & Aneesa. Another long week of wondering.
@AneesaMTV: I still believe in karma, but I take back the nice shit Ive said. Yall don’t deserve that much kindness
@AneesaMTV: These girls on the #challenge are phony as hell. #growup
@ChallengeMTV: It's called fashion, look it up 💁 #TheChallengeXXX http://on.mtv.com/2uJEZBk https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DLU-SmiWkAEl3te.jpg
@KellyAnneJudd: @ImSarahRice you don't do shows anymore so you just blow up everyone else's spot @braincandypod 🤦🏻♀️ Ever get the real Brad story? Get lit
- @braincandypod: @KellyAnneJudd You mean other than when you sat across from susie at Hell's Kitchen & told her he was your soul mate? Keep talking, you're making us $$$.
@ToriFiorenza: Today I'm going to take a play out of Mrs. obama's playbook...when they go low, we go high... ✌🏼use somebody else to stay relevant.
@ToriFiorenza: I used the words "get lit" today...I've never been more disappointed in myself. What does that even mean?! 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️

@CohenBrian_: That was an unbelievable episode of The Challenge. Of course they castrated it with a "to be continued" but I like to look on the positive.
@ChallengeMTV: I've never been so jealous of a puzzle piece before in my life 😭 Rewatch last night's #TheChallengeXXX right here: http://on.mtv.com/2uJEZBk https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DLU3AvCWsAI4ZoW.jpg

So under somewhat trying circumstances, we saw Veronica turn the clock back a few years in beating Aneesa in the week's elimination, and Tony add more to his season winning over Dario in a close battle... and both who were defeated getting another shot in redemption. Mirroring what we're now having in Halloween, the players got to channel their inner scary side having to smash a window to put together a puzzle. And the team who won that, Team Green, now being given a chance on the spot to provide Aneesa and Dario some company. We'll delve more into the Road Rules vet's awakening and more later this weekend on the WRAP.
#DCExtraTime MUSIC WEEK
"WAKE UP" WITH MIKEY P.
On Monday, the show that helped make MTV the place to be in the late 90's and 2000's - Total Request Live or "TRL" - made its grand comeback with the likes of Ed Sheeran, Nick Jonas and Demi Lovato joining the fun in the iconic Times Square studio. For premiere day, two members of Team MTV were in that crowd seeing new history being made: Mark of the new series 90's House (and a huge 'NSYNC fan whose fantasies came true in dancing in front of Lance Bass and Joey Fatone on this week's episode) and David from 2014's Virgin Territory. The guys joined new hosts DC Young Fly, Amy Pham, Erik Zachary, Lawrence Jackson and Tamara Dhia and a slew of content creators as TRL was revived for a new generation.
In honor of the return of this MTV Icon, the theme of 'Pulse ExtraTime this weekend is music, and at the end of both of these diaries we'll be featuring music videos starring two members of our current casts, including one who's played a key role in the first three weeks of Are You The One? Season 6, and for which we will next place our focus on. First, if you have seen their Instagram hubs this year, then you know that there is a romance between Kailah of this Challenge season and a true jack of all trades who is now her boyfriend.
Mikey was a member of local group DaCav, who won a local Philly talent showcase and won local Breakout Artist at the 2009 VMA's put on by hometown cable giant Comcast, and earned coveted spots performing alongside some of music's biggest acts. Very few, and perhaps only the music world's elite, can say that they got to share a stage with Rihanna, Alicia Keys, Justin Bieber, Maroon 5, Black Eyed Peas, Flo Rida and the Pussycat Dolls, but that's what DaCav did when they got to do that very thing at radio show concerts. And in typical millennial fashion, songs on their MySpace page got over 3 million plays, and their music was also featured in the film Standing Ovation in contributing five tracks to that flick. And all of this success came on their own as independent artists, with no major record label deal.
As for Mikey, he has followed in the lead of the likes of other artists and crossed over into another form of entertainment, and in his case, the world of television. His charismatic personality seems to fit perfectly with reality TV, and thanks to having done three series a broader audience beyond the Delaware Valley now have an idea of who he is. His first show came nine years ago on an MTV series called From G's to Gents, where he was one of those guys who were chosen to take on a transformation from a gangsta to a gentlemen, thanks to the help of hip-hop's most famous valet Fonzworth Bentley.
A few years later, he would then try his luck on TV's most famous obstacle course on American Ninja Warrior, which if you have seen his Instagram or SnapChat stories, he spends time in dedicated gyms which features some of those obstacles, which he often practices alongside his girl. And just three years ago, he decided to quite literally take it all off on an island with girls and guys in the quest for love - Dating Naked, which is also produced by the same group behind Are You The One? - Lighthearted Entertainment. Those shows aside, he has also done two shows for Hulu and Guinness World Records.... six shows in all.
A year or two ago in his new adopted home of Las Vegas, Mikey met up with Jenna when she visited Sin City… and her becoming buddy-buddy in the Shelter and in the Oasis on Invasion in Thailand with a newcomer eventually saw the Barbie Beast introduce Mikey to Kailah. She moved back to when her MTV journey began -- two years ago this weekend -- and has settled back in Las Vegas with him. His side job of working gigs in America's adult playground has afforded him the chance to meet many top stars, including (as we showcased here previously) Floyd Mayweather at his 40th birthday party, Pauly D. and Ronnie from Jersey Shore, and Kevin Hart on Labor Day weekend.

For Mikey's latest music video, it's no surprise that he enlisted the help of Kailah to co-star in the vid which takes place in the Nevada desert (a cloudy one in this town known for its sweltering summer heat) and in the city that they, TJ Lavin, Leroy and so many others in Team MTV call home. The video features them and their friends going bowling, driving in the same desert where she bungee-jumped to begin her MTV journey, and walking in the indoor lighted canopy of The Fremont Street Experience and the Strip.
Check out "Wake Up" below also featuring artists TC Carter & Kurt Kesedar, and the YouTube channels for Mikey P. and Kailah… Perhaps, this is the MTV world's next power couple.
On an additional note, Mikey, Kailah and all of our friends who call Vegas home were deeply affected by last Sunday's events that has touched everyone, including me as a fellow high school friend serves as a responder in Southern Nevada and no doubt rose to the challenge during the city's darkest hour since the hotel fires of the early 80's. The official site of the Las Vegas Convention & Visitors' Authority has information on how you can help, located at VisitLasVegas.com, while Clark County Commissioner Chair Steve Sisolak set up a Go Fund Me that has raised nearly $10 million and is still going strong… visit it at the link above, and the Las Vegas Victims Fund as well. Our blog coverage this weekend is dedicated in memory of the victims, and our thoughts are with them, their families and everyone affected by this unspeakable tragedy.
▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪
Still to come this weekend, are we in for another Invasion of sorts to the fifth major pro sport? We'll ask some experts about the rumors going on surrounding the next season of The Challenge. But before that, is there a truth booth perfect match? And is there another power couple for the NOLA 22 to consider? We'll have week 3 of Are You The One? covered, plus music week continues.
Thank you for checking us out tonight, and see you back here shortly as we continue our look Inside the MTV Trifecta. Talk to you then, and enjoy your weekend everyone.
