DC ExtraTime: And Another One Joins Challenge Parenthood...

It was three years ago this winter & spring that MTV's The Challenge as we knew it shook things up a bit, as the draft list of prospective competitors expanded exponentially. What began with the addition of four Are You The One? originals to Battle of the Exes 2 and other alumni of love in the Truth Booth coming onto Bloodlines, Rivals III, Invasion of the Champions and Dirty 30 would lead up to just about every reality show participant being eligible to go into battle along Bananas, Cara Maria and others.

This month's launch of Paramount+ serves as the kingpin to the second corporate marriage of Viacom and CBS, but where the roots of their re-merger were planted when The Challenge invited along past houseguests from Big Brother to the show when Natalie Negrotti and Victor Arroyo (who will tie the knot soon enough with Season 18 champ Nicole Franzel) competed on Vendettas. MTV's other entry into romantic reality television bliss, Ex On The Beach, began the road to its American arrival when Joss Mooney, Rogan O'Connor, Melissa Reeves and Kayleigh Morris of the UK version, also suited up in Spain with three of them eventually making a final and the second becoming a champ.

Also on that plane in taking that short hop from the British Isles was a man from Newcastle in the Northwest of England, who was the first from the global Shore franchise to make his way to The Challenge, and represented the bridge of sorts between the return of the Jersey OG's and the arrival of the Floribama newbies to MTV. And it was almost from the get-go that Kyle Christie would get himself comfortable in Challenge Nation when he befriended Cara Maria en route to going to the Vendettas final and eventually becoming the enemy of her man Paulie Califiore on Final Reckoning and both War of the Worlds seasons. And you can't deny that he's made quite an impact on The Challenge: a second finals appearance on Total Madness, a few hookups and plenty of memorable one-liners, among others.

Kyle is still in the running for the $1 million, which translates in British pounds to just over £722,000 as the United Kingdom goes about life outside of the European Union. But you could say that, though he has just those two finals appearances and winning almost £15,000, he is already a winner just past the halfway point of Double Agents. That's because of the following announcement he made on Instagram last week...

With a picture of him and girlfriend, Tyneside-based social media manager & model Vicky Turner holding a sonogram in hand as well as a follow-up pic later on in the weekend, Kyle revealed that he is the latest one in the communities of both The Challenge and the Shore community to be expecting his first kid. They have the month of September as the target for her due date towards the end of summer in the British Isles, and he will join some company within The Challenge's British Invasion including Mel, Ashley Cain and WOTW2's Esther Falana who have ascended into the roles of being parents, among the many dozens of our favorites both abroad and here at home who are now or about to embark on this ultimate adult challenge.

And as always, upon the announcement of Kyle becoming the newest daddy-elect, reaction radiated on both sides of the pond within Challenge Nation and in the Geordie Shore family where it all began for him, some of whom are parents themselves and who will be awaiting to send those baby shower gifts and perhaps await getting set to perhaps compete in a Challenge some two decades from now in following in the footsteps of their mommies & daddies. And we congratulate our favorite pirate... Baby Christie will indeed have an amazing time ahead.
