Welcome back to DCBLOG as our look at Episode 7 of The Challenge: Battle of the Bloodlines continues with the DC WRAP recap, as we prep for a big night ahead. This season has seen so much happen that you can hardly believe that we are to Episode 8.
   Last week, the focus shifted to Cara Maria & Abram as the rumors of her cheating on him got him to a boiling point, while a tense mission on a skyscraper and the voting results saw hatred between Abe & Michael and her hookup - Thomas & his twin brother Stephen led to an intense Pit battle. And for the After Show, plenty of fireworks as well as again, Abe's trademark intensity got to him as well.
   For those who want your episode fix in a nutshell with just the night's key moments, dig in to our Things to Know recap. Plus find out who our Winners of the Night are, and see how you, the fans, reacted to the events on a 'Pulse Extra. And after that on DC ExtraTime, what happens when this very show and animation come together? Find out what the results are, plus a look at a touching moment of family first from premiere week of MTV's 35th Anniversary year...all after the jump.

As we enter the second full week of the new year, welcome back to DCBLOG as we present week 6 of DC SocialPulse for The Challenge: Battle of the Bloodlines. And after we brought you a Pulse Extra to look back on the final hours of 2015 & the first weekend of 2016, we provide you with the week's main course as a popular Team MTV romance gets tested in Turkey.

   On New Year's Eve Eve, we had back to back episodes where a veteran/rookie house divide gripped the house and saw the vets break apart a rookie guys alliance in the Pit. Two veteran ladies got into it with a thrown glass and some very unfortunate insults thrown at one another. And once again, we saw the 5-time champion do what he seems to do best on this Challenge: turning his back on the girl who was his partner last season in exactly the same manner a fellow vet did to him last season.

   On Episode 7 last week, the attention turns to the returnee to this Challenge world and his girlfriend. The rumors of her cheating on him begin to get to him, and leads him to a breaking point in his signature insanity. And after a tense mission and the ensuing voting process provides fuel to a hatred between two teams and sets the table for a most intense Pit battle. And as for the week's After Show, it too also offered a lot more drama than is usually the case.

   If you wanna relive all of this week's interaction or just catching up on it for the first time, then dig in. In the abbreviated lead-up for this week (due to the NYE 'Pulse Extra), we'll also have Team MTV's reaction to the premiere of the newest season of The Bachelor, some honest commentary on Teen Mom from the Trifecta's biggest fan, and much more. And after how I saw this week's episode, a special edition of DC FORUM with some important words from yours truly.
