Welcome on into a meeting of three occasions wrapped into this one June weekend: yesterday was Juneteenth and the 155th anniversary of the end of slavery in America, as the Black Lives Matter movement continues its momentum around the world. Amidst what has been taking place in the Midwest, today is the Summer Solstice as we officially transition into the hottest of the four seasons with the longest day of the entire year. And tomorrow we'll be celebrating the most important man in our lives on Father's Day, and it's in this backdrop that we bring you an eventful week Inside MTV Reality, starting with The Challenge.
But let's not let what happened there overshadow what we'll be covering here this week to start things off, as one of those who, tomorrow, will be celebrating his first Father's Day as a dad to two kids find himself motivated to try and turn several seasons of near-misses since his rookie appearance in a final into securing his kids' future with his first title. The season's first challenge had tanks involved, so it comes as no surprise that they are back for a grueling mini-final that will give us a good indication of who is worthy to go for the $1 million. And it's what happens with the ensuing process of choosing who goes in that sees a furious player wanting to get revenge after betrayal.
After the break, it's the SocialPulse of Week 12 of The Challenge: Total Madness, plus love is in the air for the couple who had a hand in helping us introduce all of you to two of this season's rookies. And welcome to the summer everyone...

@BayleighDaily: Tbh, I really hate being in the public eye sometimes. While people are scrambling for revelance. @SwaggyCTV and I are working our asses off so we can disappear. Wealth over fame. Lifestyle over popularity. Shift your priorities people, your small mindedness is showing.
@SwaggyCTV: We don’t have to do another TV show again and we’re easily fine. TV is for fun and competition. And it’s getting to a point where it isn’t fun anymore. I’ma end up taking my ass, my wife, my trading knowledge & my money to a mansion in Beverly Hills & leaving this shit behind.
- @JenniferWestOf1: @BayleighDaily @SwaggyCTV I totally get this... I never set out to be on TV I just wanted to be successful and to help my family and friends 🙏🏼

@BananasTheGOAT: I really enjoyed swaggy. I love him and bayleigh’s relationship, they’re not toxic or dramatic, they’re a great partnership. I hope to see him again. #TheChallenge35
@melbrown00: Swaggy made 3 tribunals, played a solid social game throughout and learned from his Big Brother experience to make it pretty far on his debut Challenge season. I’m proud of him. #TheChallenge35
@MTVBananas: “Wes is the biggest piece of shit on earth...... even tho we’re kinda friends now” Face with tears of joyFace with tears of joyFace with tears of joy #TheChallenge35
- @johnnybananas: @MTVBananas Honesty is an important quality to have in a kinda friendship
@AneesaMTV: Competing while enduring a high ankle sprain mid challenge and then having to drag a sled was not joke. I’ve never put more stress on my body.
@TheAllanAguirre: Bananas shits on Wes as a default setting and then realizing "Oh Shit, I Forgot We Are Friends Now" is kind of amazing and awful at the same times. #TheChallenge35
@TheAllanAguirre: Kyle moaning about getting this far and potentially not going to the Final because he didn't have a Red Skull is like the kids who don't get good grades all semester and get mad they didn't invited to the end of year Pizza Party. #TheChallenge35
@TheAllanAguirre: As a human, this is my favorite version of Cory on the Challenge. #TheChallenge35
@TheAllanAguirre: This is probably one of my favorite daily challenges ever. I like that it tests: "How much can you carry?" / "Do you have endurance?" / "Can you work in a team?" / "Strategizing, i.e. dense items vs big items" / "Do you have heart?" #TheChallenge35
@TheAllanAguirre: Fessy didn't need to win this daily challenge, but he wanted to prove himself and he did as such. The guy is a fucking beast. #TheChallenge35
@TheAllanAguirre: I don't know in what world Josh sees a better elimination? Like every guy left in the game is strong in physical/athletic games. Also, Josh isn't a puzzle person at all. It's now or never. It can only get worse. #TheChallenge35
@StevenPlummer22: I was a fan of Cory before this season but his maturity has been really great to see! #TheChallenge35
@TheAllanAguirre: Josh has a tendency to talk too much. If he said 20% less, his words would mean more. Josh could have said he's voting Cory and moved on. You don't have to swear on your family for something so inconsequential. If anything, it makes you seem less trustworthy. #TheChallenge35
@TheAllanAguirre: You never want to get into a fight with Melissa, because she can see through all your insecurities and fucking torch you accurately with verbal haymakers. I would always want to be on her good-side. #TheChallenge35
@TheAllanAguirre: Gotta give props to Cory. Normally when he starts to lose, he gets frustrated and crumbles under the pressure. This time, he found a rhythm, found a rhyme, came back, and actually won pretty dominantly. His elim record is now a surprising 6-3. #TheChallenge35
@TheAllanAguirre: Swaggy started this season really strong. What I really appreciate is while losing his elimination, he acknowledged that not having experience in a game like this matters. He didn't blame the game itself. That's a level of self-awareness he didn't have on BB. #TheChallenge35
@TheAllanAguirre: I just published Challenge Total Madness Episode 12 Recap: Ten Biggest Takeaways https://link.medium.com/xsrk6fCdp7
- @TheAllanAguirre: EPISODE 12 RECAP... I breakdown: - Cory's maturation / - Who still needs a Red Skull/Power Ranking / - Melissa being a Pregnant Legend / - Josh talking too much / - Kyle showing initiative too late and more! #TheChallenge35
@dc408dxnow: Cory always has Ryder on his mind as is the new kid. And Ryder is talking to daddy here along with Chey, and he really misses his daughter back home, and it’s getting to him here. #DCChallenge
@dc408dxnow: Fessy is certainly proving that what he did to take down Jordan was no fluke, and the others are just struggling. And the footballer takes first by a mile. #DCChallenge
@dc408dxnow: We now have the BB19 champ waking up the new mom. And when you do that, you will get an earful. That’s what we’re seeing with Josh and Mel. #DCChallenge
@dc408dxnow: This elimination had the makings of that infamous soccer match from Vendettas. But instead, we have another close one that sees the daddy take down the W. #DCChallenge
@SwaggyCTV: My name is Swaggy C & here’s my story in 90 secs I got eliminated from The Challenge last night & instantly went to planning ideas while in the hotel in Prague. This show was 1 of them Hope I can inspire a few lives w/ my day to day activities! 🙏🏾 https://youtu.be/ohogLqc4rd4
- @DerrickL: @SwaggyCTV Congrats, my dude! I’ll be following along for those stock tips!
@jordan_wiseley: Join @TheRealNiaMoore and I tonight on IG LIVE!! We’re talking about our past and how it effects the movement now! Starts at 4pmPST
- @TheRealNiaMoore: @jordan_wiseley Can’t wait!
@TheRealNiaMoore: Thanks for the positive feedback from the IG Live discussion @jordan_wiseley had last night. I watched it back and saw your comments—and I agree that I talked over him a lot Tired face We are on @afterbuzztv tonight and I will certainly give him the floor. Tune in 6pm PST/9pm EST
@TheRealNiaMoore: Going live in 5 minutes on @afterbuzztv with @jordan_wiseley for a deeper conversation! Tune in on YouTube at the link below https://youtu.be/c-YZ9BD0zwM
@TheRealNiaMoore: I hear everyone’s perspective on the convo Jordan and I had. I respect and acknowledge all points of view. I am not interested in swaying anyone to feel a certain way. But the context, the time that elapsed since then, & the growth that was allowed to happen because of it matters
- @TheRealNiaMoore: That is why I asked him to come and discuss this publicly last night and today. We aren’t on a press tour, and we aren’t denying how painful this was for us or you all. We are healed, and better for it. And we both think the world needs to see this right now. How far we came
- @TheRealNiaMoore: Y’all allowed me to grow. I did equally horrible things during my tenure on the show. But y’all found a way to see my heart. I personally know how painfully sensitive this stuff is right now with all that’s going on. But I’m just hopeful that you guys can see his the way I do.
@TheRealNiaMoore: I want so many things right now. First and foremost, peace and resolve in our country. Second, an all expense paid vacay. And certainly, a body worthy of rocking a bikini on said vacay 🙏🏾
- @LadyFougere: @TheRealNiaMoore I’m honestly proud of you! You and Jordan had issues with each other but y’all found ways to overcome them and educate each other on so many things so I commend you both for that.
💣 💣 💣 💣 💣
Well, it's been quite a month for Cory, but we will keep things on the up side of the spectrum as he picks up that elimination win over Swaggy C just a few days ahead of his first Father's Day as dad not only to Ryder but also to Mila Mae... but we also have a good idea of who might possibly sneak into the final in Fessy after being part of the power team with Bayleigh, and on the subject of her...

#DCExtraTime
CONGRATS #CLUCHE!
If you saw our Who Are These Newbies? introduction to this year's Challenge rookies in April, we did not do full profiles of all seven Total Madness first-timers, for that if a rookie was featured in our site in the past, they're exempt from being featured to save time & space. That applies to #Swayleigh, who we first featured here two years ago after Swaggy proposed to Bayleigh on the finale of a Big Brother 20 season that debuted two years & a week ago tonight. And we can thank another reality TV couple for helping this site introduce them to all of you before they became Challenge rookies.

They are one of the handful of romantic success stories to come out of MTV's first entry into modern reality dating TV... and though they were not a perfect match being robbed by the scientists in the Truth Booth, this week saw them become official with a ring. On Wednesday down in Malibu, CA -- not far from where six of their fellow members of the "Sexy Season 6" cast went onto Ex On The Beach, Clinton & Uche went onto a beach as she grew skeptical of why he was acting up... but it was for good reason that he had an engagement ring stuffed into his back pocket, and he popped it right at sunset. And she got to say yes, something that was almost inevitable.
Clinton wrote on Instagram, "So yesterday my dreams came true 😊 I met my Fiancé exactly 3 years ago today & yesterday I asked her to spend the rest of her life with me. This was the easiest decision I’ve ever made. Honestly there wasn’t even a decision to be made, I truly believe we were created for one another! Uche I’ve been searching for you since I was like 9. Our relationship and the love we have for one another came out of nowhere & it’s undeniable you’re my wife. You’re perfect, thank you for choosing to love me. Let’s get these wedding plans started because I want some babies soon 😋"
And Uche added on IG, "Still speechless. I honestly didn’t think love like this existed. I’m the most me, my BEST self - when I’m with you. No one loves me better 😭 My best friend. My protector. My lover. My fiancé (literally what!!!!!!!) - I can’t wait to be your wife ❤️ #nomatch #forever" And as you saw in the Pulse above, those from AYTO6 as well as the whole MTV community sent their congrats to the now engaged couple - and we send ours too.
The WRAP's for both the Season 3 winter premiere of Siesta Key and a Vegas hookup on A Double Shot at Love are still to come along with thoughts on that reality upheaval. But before that: Swayleigh was first featured in Who Are These Newbies' supplementary ExtraTime franchise, Someone You Should Know. And another person who found himself in love on reality TV is our next subject: tomorrow we'll introduce you to a key figure from Season 1 of Netflix's Love is Blind.
And as you saw above, there's the dialogue of Jordan and his counterpart on Real World Portland and on two Challenge seasons, Nia, as they are the latest to offer their thoughts on the intersection of racism and reality TV in light of the Black Lives Matter movement. After doing a joint Instagram Live session earlier this week, they joined AfterBuzz TV which you can check out here... and while you have it, also check out our Before They Were MTV Stars story featuring her first time on national TV in the summer 2012 dating show The Choice with other familiar MTV faces.
That'll do it for us for now.. until then, enjoy your Saturday and an early Happy Father's Day...
