Hello again and Happy Saturday to all of you out there... we welcome you to the week Inside MTV Reality, as we at DCBLOG kick off our weekly content covering The Challenge: Total Madness. We had our season preview of it last week followed on premiere night by our traditional intro to the first-time competitors, Who Are These Newbies?. And just ahead, the Pulse of this week's premiere with the action, reaction and interaction of the first act of Season 35 of the Fifth Major Pro Sport.
   In all likelihood, you have a Twitter app on your phone and you were likely led to this by that app of 280 characters or less. And whether you watch this live or do it later on, you just gasp at all the interaction taking place during these episodes and before and after it airs. That's what those of you who are part of this MTV fandom do as part of your obsession with the most-talked about (and now, some of the most-watched) shows in the reality TV genre, and we at DCBLOG and our SocialPulse franchise have been your tour guide through all of this interaction surrounding The Challenge and the shows linked in a way to this since our coverage began seven years ago next month, and it has now become a vital component to the MTV Reality experience as well.
   SocialPulse is a public service to all fans - cable subscribers, cord-cutters, avid fans and casual viewers alike... but staying true to one of those segments of the audience, it's only now that we bring you these posts... and we'll be here every weekend to bring you how the cast, alumni and fans see each episode from their POV, and the buzz before and after the 90-minute episodes of this series, the first weekly MTV show to air in this expanded format. And it's only a part of our weekly coverage, with so much outstanding content covering The Challenge and other shows of our interest, so you can "See For Yourself."

After the jump, we begin taking the Pulse of Total Madness with this pre-diary covering the countdown to Wednesday's premiere, and that opening episode will be covered later tonight here on DCBLOG. Welcome on in...

@NewsdayFrank: Good thing MTV's #TheChallenge finished shooting in December...and the competitors, including Wantagh's #JennaCompono, were all living in a bunker anyway, as it happened. https://newsday.com/entertainment/tv/reality-tv/challenge-total-madness-jenna-compono-1.43540707 @ChallengeMTV @JennaCompono

@TheRealNiaMoore: I feel like this lockdown is gonna last through the whole summer, but they are giving it to us in 30-day increments at a time so that people don’t lose their minds. Which will inevitably happen either way. But a 30-day sentence sounds a lot less awful than 90-days lol 🤦🏾‍♀️

@BreanneNYC: These 5 minutes promise all kinds of fun on #TheChallengeTotalMadness #TheChallenge35 https://t.co/SgLXdM2jGu?amp=1

@deenguyenMTV: Just doing queen things. Baddies coming to a screen near you this Wednesday at 8/7c on @challengemtv @mtv #TheChallenge35 #SocialDistancing #alonetogether

@TheAllanAguirre: The Challenge Total Madness had the potential to have over a million people watching due to there being no live sports on Television, and they still chose to put their show in the same time slot as Survivor Season 40.

Wes Bergmann

@WestonBergmann: New season of @ChallengeMTV airs THIS Wednesday, only on @MTV.  Spoiler alert: I’m jacked, bearded, hilarious, and up to no good.

@SwaggyCTV: #TheChallenge35 

@ChallengeMTV: CEO OF PARKOUR. 🕴 #TheChallenge35

@JJWatt: Have watched everything on Netflix. There’s no sports on TV. FOX, idk how this all works from a logistics standpoint, but can we somehow release Ultimate Tag early? We could all use some entertainment. (and let’s be honest, TJ trying to read off a teleprompter is gold)

@SHOTOFYAGER: Joining us in tomorrow’s MAD HOUSE will be none other than THE GODFATHER, THE HALL OF FAMER, ⁦ @TheMarkLong⁩! As soon as #TheChallenge35 airs on the East Coast, @DerrickMTV, Mark & I take your questions over at http://Patreon.com/ChallengeMania in our Bonus Podcast Series!

@DerrickMTV: Lost a member of the #PodSquad this past weekend to a cancer he’d been battling for about 12 years. You left a lasting impression on all of us that met you,my dude. R.I.P. Adam Edge. -MVP of Every Episode in THE MAD HOUSE will now be referred to as 

“The Edge Award.”

You might be wondering why I post these a few days later than other sites do... it's because Saturday is always my favorite day of the entire week... it's also on this day that I get to post something just as nice on another favorite site of mine: I have been posting video vlogs from my #DCVegas adventures a lot lately on my YouTube channel, and you can check it all out now at YouTube.com/DC408Dxtr.
   I'm taking this week from posting videos there to focus on this DCBLOG site, but coming up next week for the Easter holiday weekend, I'll be posting the last two videos from my DCVegas X trip from last year, along with new footage from my 2016 trip as well. Be sure to subscribe to DC YouTube for more videos from my trips -- and by the way, for now I don't plan on covering MTV shows on my channel there.

Coming up tonight, DCBLOG will have the 'Pulse of The Challenge: Total Madness premiere for all of you on here, plus the one they call "Big Shirley" goes roller skating. We'll talk to you all then...
