Part of what makes DCBLOG's view of MTV Reality different is to make our posts covering The Challenge & Real World franchise, Are You The One?, Ex On The Beach, the Shore franchise and everything else appeal to everyone. We have in mind the hardcore fans who watch every episode and who enjoyed last week's veterans' Instagram takeover, and the casual viewers who followed the fortunes of those on shows where they made their reality debut and who are now part of The Challenge family, who in turn are bringing those fans to MTV for the first time.
   Through our original storytelling franchise ExtraTime - which appears during our weekly episode coverage, one of these instances is to link the current pop culture landscape to the hundreds of people who are part of this family. Everyone from Floyd Mayweather and Jerry Springer to the Jersey Shore cast and our President have all been featured in our posts... if you have any favorites from TV, music, movies or the sports world, chances are they have met up with an MTV cast member or alum - and we feature them regularly here to help broaden this site's appeal.
   For this first instance this summer of pop culture colliding with the MTV family, there are three: one - one of the world's biggest pop stars and who proved that girls can rock; two - a eccentric man who was part of one of MTV's most controversial & successful series; and three - a man at the heart of the latest internet craze which helped to fuel the #1 album on earth.
