Though it's coming later than planned for reasons not to be elaborated here, this fall DCBLOG is finally getting this chance to properly mark our 10th anniversary season... and we're expanding our horizons to feature not just MTV coverage, but other pop culture content too. But some things just never change in the course of the past decade on this beat, including getting to add more to covering our most recurring subjects from the YouTube world, of all things.

That would be Andres Rodriguez, who we first met not just when he that Challenge XXX cast back in 2017, but for what he got to do in his spare time before premiere week: create a homemade YouTube franchise where he serves as creator, host, producer, editor, sometimes competitor and the figure which this world revolves around. The Caucus Challenge began all the way back in his high school days, and which has continued well after he got that diploma in his New Jersey hometown. It is only part of an empire that also includes docuseries The Life We Live and a pandemic-stricken summer with his six best friends, but the original project is one that we featured a blog review for each season that's come on since that first post.
And as this summer winds away, it was back during the pre-Super Bowl week earlier this year that Dre once again invited everyone back to Secaucus for the latest chapter in his magnum opus: this time, for something totally different. Here, it's his show's own take on that Challenge of two years ago that introduced us to new power players in a game that he likes to call, Double Trouble.
Season 38 of the MTV show two years back saw Ride or Dies pairs take to the floor, where we were introduced to Nurys, Horacio and Olivia. Battle of the Eras kicked off last week with five pairs being partnered up among the four teams of eras... and tonight, our first set of eliminations are sending four of those teams home after a rare night daily. For this Season Sweet 16 of Caucus, it is two partners who have bonds in one way or another with each other who are being teamed up for Double Trouble.
Like it has been for the mainline MTV program and its spinoffs, The Caucus Challenge has expanded its wings to feature those from other fellow made-for-YouTube reality shows, best known in this business as "live reality games." Two of those who've competed in other shows in this genre, Jaymes and Steven, are among the crop of rookies who have made their way to Jersey for their Challenge debuts.
Gone are the days of Caucus taking place solely in the backyard of Andres' house: now, many of these competitions take place all around this Gotham suburb (best known as home to the NBA and MLB media centers). And once these ten pairs are whittled down to the final few: a final challenge at a local high school awaits... not to mention, a $1,000 prize check. Below, the entire season.
