Okay, just a brief update post of sorts here on this day after the supposed finale of The Challenge XXX: Dirty 30... we won't go into more of it for those of you who haven't watched last night's episode, but because of a little wrench in our plans, here's what you can look forward to for this week's posts, which of course will be up over the long Veteran's Day Weekend (and also, #DCBDay weekend as well).

First, something that started last year when two of the three Trifecta shows was airing at the same time, during the week of one show's finale the Things to Know episode recap would be devoted entirely to that finale. The review of the other show's episode that week would simply be carried over into the WRAP for the following week's post, just as we usually do whenever episodes ended resolution and has no doubt caused havoc to our blog coverage and to viewers like yourselves.
   That will be the case again when we will recap this final act of the Dirty 30 finale on next week's WRAP when we cover the last elimination, the final and the reunion... for which we will also have our special Reunion Revealed post to come over the coming Thanksgiving holiday. This week's WRAP post will be devoted entirely to tonight's Are You The One?, with next week's episode to be covered on the following week's WRAP.

Second, as has become a recent tradition whenever a cliffhanger takes place on any episode of the Trifecta, we have traditionally offered a long-form storytelling-based post under the ExtraTime name, which we now call ExtraTime In-Depth. It has been promised the past month or so, but the first one of this cycle will be up early next week to look at Ammo of this Challenge season and the story that he has been going through since we first saw him on his Real World season.
   Because of the amount of blog work this site has going, I have not worked much on this longform but given this time I'll have the chance to work on it here. And in light of the recent allegations of sexual assault that have been all over the place the past month and him also sharing his #MeToo story, we'll be integrating that into that piece here. And as is custom, the rest of this week's blog coverage will be revealed on Twitter after tonight's episode airs on the west coast.

And Third and lastly, I am also working on a number of other posts which I plan to have on in the coming month that will look into two members of the AYTO cast - one who have done a great thing for one of their fans and the other having a knack for being there at the right time at Hollywood's biggest events. There's also the two preview posts I got planned to cover The Challenge: Champs vs. Stars and Floribama Shore that'll be up over Thanksgiving, as will the Reunion Revealed post I got on the docket covering next week's Dirty 30 reunion. And that's all on top of the Pulse diaries I do to kick off each weekend's blog wave... yes, it's a stacked lineup, but someone's gotta do it.

Again, thanks to everyone who continues to support and enjoy this site, including Jordan and Tori for helping this fan out in helping spread the word of this site and of the two ExtraTime bits I did on them before last night's finale. Enjoy tonight's AYTO, and as always, see you here this weekend.
