On a Saturday night full of Playoff excitement, laughs at the White House Corespondent's Dinner, an inspirational one-handed player being drafted at the NFL Draft and Kanye Madness taking over, we bring you in to this week's ride Inside the MTV Trifecta with DCBLOG. And after having put a bow last night on Vendettas and Cara Maria becoming Wonder Woman, our attention now turns to two shows this spring, beginning here and now with The Challenge: Champs vs. Stars III.
   Last week, the competition began for our latest group of ten celebrities and athletes including a returning Pro, a guy from Love & Hip Hop and J-Lo's ex going up against champs CT, Wes, Ashley and champs in their minds for this third installment of the spinoff. We got to see the continuation of the dominance of both the veterans and Tony in the first challenge, but then they were caught red-handed by the twist of Champs and Stars competing together on the same teams. We also saw that pro Louise pick up right where she left off, and that ex Casper Smart win the first elimination taking out who was arguably the strongest athlete going into this season, footballer Arian Foster.
   This week, those mixed teams of pros and Joes compete for the first time in what in essence is the Bloodlines format, and a hotter version of a game Canadians love that became America's guiltiest pleasure two months ago comes into focus just as it was on Duel II a decade ago. Meanwhile, a girl who found herself in a love triangle over a year ago with one who happens to be an Ex on Ex on the Beach finds herself in another relationship: this time with a star. And the week that was and is for the hottest girl in the music world right now continues to roll along as her sister decides to bring the club to The Challenge.

All the action, reaction and interaction of Week 2 of Champs vs. Stars is ahead in this reduced diary below, as this show will take on the role of appetizer on this site compared to the main event of Ex on the Beach, whose episode post comes tomorrow. Afterwards, ExtraTime will venture into serious matters when a Challenge champ who went through a lot on TV discusses something that happened recently to her... something very painful.
   All of that is ahead on the Pulse of Champs vs. Stars. And thanks for sticking with us here... it's nice to have you with us.


IN BETWEEN: A Sampling

Well, if you've been watching this show for a long time, you know how first impressions can go away in a heartbeat... that's exactly what we saw with Kam and Booby getting flirtatious before this week's challenge, and then him deciding to put his Stars ahead of her in not only nominating her, but also not giving her a life raft after Brooke gave Killa Kam her first elimination defeat (albeit this exhibition season of sorts). We also saw Tony and Hennessy get caught in the act of touching the ground during this week's challenge, and we saw her also make quite a mark as her big sis Cardi B. continues to dominate the headlines after that big week she had.  More on this later on the WRAP.


 #DCExtraTime 

For the many of you who are checking us out for the first time for Champs vs. Stars and/or Ex on the Beach, plus those overseas watching The Challenge for the very first time (including in Portuguese on MTV Brazil), the other distinctive and key component to our MTV coverage is ExtraTime: the snapshots and portraits of the people of the MTV Trifecta and pop culture at large as seen through the lens of this community. Small bits like these appear at the end of our weekly episode posts, and others such as our occasional In-Depth long-forms appear in their own posts.
   A recurring theme of these stories are the life-changing moments that those in the hundreds in this family go through that, we know, a lot of you can relate to them... and that's the theme behind the bits that follow both this Challenge Pulse and the one for Ex on the Beach which comes tomorrow. First, something very serious...

#SARAHSTRONG
At the end of many of our episode WRAP's, we would publish a list of webcasts and articles to give those of you who want more from the week that was in the MTV world to check out the other podcasts and people who follow this beat. One of those that receive periodic mentions of is The Brain Candy Podcast, hosted by a pair of best friends who met each other when one appeared on her last Challenge and another had gotten her start on The Ruins: Road Rules veteran & two-time champion Susie Meister, and Real World Brooklyn alum and Exes 2 champ Sarah Rice.
   Those who listen to their podcasts know that there is more to them than their MTV pasts with their discussions of anything and everything in our world, from the social issues they're most passionate about, to the pop culture we all love. And yes, for those who can fork over some money fans can also listen to them talk MTV with their closest friends... from many of whom you know from watching all these Challenges to those the older generation of viewers will know so well.
   If you have followed Sarah's entire MTV journey which began a decade ago this summer when she flew to New York to film her Real World season, you can understand that Sarah has been through so much and most of it has not been in her favor... it's so cursed a history that we will spare any of those grim details, nor will we mention the bullying she has had to endure all these years. But this past week, those who listened to the latest episode of their podcast got to hear Sarah open up about something that is perhaps the most painful experience of all for any woman.

On the latest episode of BCP, Sarah and Susie got to discuss the kinds of crazy stories that can get our attention off of a rapper and his erratic behavior of late to something more fun like the shoe selection of Katy Perry, plastic surgery for reality stars and learning about the history of BBQ before your dust off your grill for the Memorial Day weekend party. But also, Sarah had the opportunity to open up for the first time about something that a lot of women have gone through.
   Those who listen to their shows know that the ladies love to give surprises, and Sarah had planned on using the podcast to announce to the public for the first time that she is pregnant and expecting her first baby with her husband, Landon Patterson. But when they went to get their first ultrasound after the first trimester of the always excruciating 9-month process, they found that the baby did not have a heartbeat and received the sad news that she had suffered a miscarriage.
   For someone who had to endure a lot, both on and off camera, this was undoubtedly the most heartbreaking news she has ever had to take in, and she got to share it in vivid detail with her loyal listeners on Brain Candy, which is embedded below.



In 2016 during Sarah's last Challenge season, we looked at when another of those who competed with her on Rivals III, Briana, shared her miscarriage story on her original Are You The One? season... check out that post here, and our thoughts are with Sarah during this tough time. For information on miscarriages, how to prevent them, or if there's complications of pregnancy that you or a loved one are going through, visit the American Pregnancy Association at americanpregnancy.org.

Tomorrow - later on for those out east, we'll focus on the main course of Ex On The Beach USA, as the door opens on the Shack of Secrets and another will close when the first elimination takes place. Plus, we'll also let you in on who the newest dad in the MTV family is, as well a brief synopsis of who might be the most decorated cast of the show that brought love to MTV reality.
   Meanwhile, we'd like to remind you that the man behind the most unique competition on YouTube - and the subject of one of our most viewed posts here, Andres Rodriguez (@TheOriginalDre_) and his New Jersey friends, are at it yet again with the return of The Caucus Challenge and its newest season of Deception. It premiered last week to coincide with the beginning of the spring Trifecta cycle, and the first two episodes are up now on Dre's YouTube channel. We'll be covering that and hopefully talk to him in a DCBLOG follow-up later in this cycle.

Thank you for checking us out here, and wherever you are - see you soon as our trip Inside the MTV Trifecta continues on DCBLOG. Enjoy your Saturday everyone...

- I AM DC
