DC SocialPulse - RIVALS II: As They Saw It - Part 2

*** Reader Advisory: The Following Post Contains

By DC Cueva

It's the weekend and the countdown to The Challenge: Rivals II finale continues. But for a moment, a chance to send well wishes to two relatively recent members of the Real World/Challenge family on big news they both revealed on the same day as the last full day of summer, September 21. First, Mike Ross from RW: Back to Las Vegas & finalist on the first Rivals Challenge, announced that he is now engaged to his girlfriend, Taylor, with the successful proposal taking place last night in their new home of San Diego. And just moments later across the country, Brandon Kane, the resident rock star from RW St. Thomas, announced that he is a new father, posting a pic of his companion's new baby, Charlotte, who gave birth in Boston. So, much congratulations to you two.
   Now to Rivals II: we've had just about everything you could want in a great Challenge season: all-star cast, exciting action, huge fights & house drama, big twists out of left field, and an epic final that could crown deserving champions when we finally finish on Wednesday. It's been so exciting, that for the first time in the history of everdom (taking Dustin Zito's word for it), a Challenge season will be officially released on DVD at the MTV Shop at http://shop.mtv.com and preorders are starting to be taken. And while we're officially transitioning into fall this weekend and Halloween decorations are already up in your nearest supermarket, it's not too early to say that this will be at the very top of the wish list of every Challenge/RW fan this holiday season.
   In our last DC SocialPulse post on Saturday, we covered the tweets of the cast as they saw episodes 2, 3 & 4, which saw Cara Maria arrive, Sarah getting screwed yet again after her partner leaves following one of two house fights, a girl's fear of ketchup, and Team Rookies' takeover. Today, we'll look at episodes 5, 6 & 7, where we see a mere technicality become responsible for the season's most heartbreaking moment, the cruel reality of backstabbing making its way into Thailand, and one of the best elimination battles in Challenge history as the Portlanders earn credibility in their rookie campaign.
   As we start, note there is explicit language in many tweets below, but I am keeping it uncensored in order to retain the heat of the moment. Please read with discretion if you are mature enough. :-) So, here we go, beginning with the eventful Episode 5, which also includes my tweet chat with one of the parties involved as I watched the drama of what happened at the end unfold.

@jonnamtv: Hahaha I don't think @RoyLee25mtv is the LEAST bit insecure.
@BusDriversRoute: The Challenge represents the Circle of Life. @TheresaMTV and @RoyLee25mtv hooking up with @ZachMTV becoming an uncle. Deep stuff.
@RobbMTV: From one red head to another.. I think they're all just jealous @WesMTV
@JDeezyMTV: Man it's bout to get crazy in the #Rivals2 house

@laurelstucky: "Damnit Trey." -@zachmtv
@RobbMTV: "You're the younger brother you have to choose"
@MTVTrey: This one falls on me. I'm better than that. But mistakes happen. We just get back up and head on to the next challenge. #Rivals2
@JordanMTV: Punk Biotch #Rivals2

@RoyLee25mtv: @WesMTV I own u bro... U remember ---> #BattleOfTheExes ???
@MTVtrey: At the end of the day, I think @ZachMTV and I are a team that nobody wants to go up against. #Rivals2
@JemmyeMTV: I know this girl is not trying to get my boys into the jungle... Ummmm girl sit down somewhere
@JordanMTV: That's cute the vets helping each other Gotta love a good ol fashioned rookie takeover! #Rivals2 #TeamRookies
@JemmyeMTV: You can't vote for somebody you are banging. Challenge rule number oneeeeee
@laurelstucky: WOW. Now this is a Challenge. This episode is good.
@JemmyeMTV: damn Theresa fucked @RoyLee25mtv  literally and figuratively... She is not a ride or dieeee I see....
@Knight_MTV: Girls do not know how to burn votes#rivals2
@RobbMTV: This voting is going down on my brain so hard. #BlowingMyMind #Rivals2 @MTV
@QueenBirdness: Yikes, things are getting interesting. #Rivals2
@JemmyeMTV: I'm ride or die for my ex and you can't even be ride or die for the dude banging you. The fuck?????
@TheresaMTV: Oooo SNaP Crackle POP!!!
@MTVBananas: Damn @RoyLee25mtv you must be doing something wrong dude! #Rivals2
@JDeezyMTV: Man that was a shocker. Rookies live through another week. #Rivals2
@WesMTV: This episode made it look like Theresa was an idiot. That was only half of it. I will take credit for the other half, thank you very much.
@CookeMTV: Don't worry boo if you come back we still won't vote u in @RoyLee25mtv #teamvegas
@JemmyeMTV: American flag everything in honor of my bestie @ZachMTV
@EmileeMTV: GIRLS... a throw away vote when you're first isn't a throw away vote.
@CaraMariaMTV: everyone should have given @ZachMTV what he wanted. Johnny can't protect all you girls, you will get skrewed as usual at some point. #sheep
@EmFitMTV: And this is why certain teams DON'T win challenges... #neveragainladies
@EmFitMTV: A "throwaway" vote isn't the way to start a vote EVER. Dumb.
@JazMTV: FYI we didn't seal there fate into the jungle another girl team made it official!! #yeaISaid #Rivals2 #diem
@laurelstucky: Yayyyyy!!!!!!! This is fun.
@laurelstucky: Ps you guys. Just wait. This episode GETS BETTER.
@EmileeMTV: Life's hard get a helmet. #Rivals2
@MTVBananas: Hold your breath America... Shit's about to get weird! #Rivals2
@AneesaMTV: That was such an intense elimination. #rivals2
@Knight_MTV: He missed frank with that helmet throw @JordanMTV took it off the dome like a man
@jonnamtv: OMG another twist?? @tjlavin what's going on??"
@TyrieBMTV: Lmfao Zach threw that helmet hard as fuck
@EmileeMTV: I feel for @ZachMTV. No one gave him who he wanted, he won fair and square... I'd say fuck you too.
@MtvJess: Oh my goodness!!!!!!!!!! No way!!!!! #Rivals2
@MTVtrey: I'm disappointed in the decision but there's nothing I can do about it. I gave it my best shot. And I'll be back...
@MTVBananas: In Zack and Treys defense this elimination was mentally challenging too. It required the ability to count to four! #Rivals2 @MTV
@JDeezyMTV: Man I know they weren't expecting them to come back. Game changer #Rivals2
@MTVtrey: Each Challenge brings new surprises. In #Rivals2, I gained a new friend I never thought I would have. That was pretty cool...
@JazMTV: @MTVtrey you did good luv!! And I'm glad we got to know each other more!! Xoxo #teamgreen #Rivals2
@MTVtrey: Also, thank you for the love & support throughout ALL of my seasons. It means the world to me. I really appreciate it.
@LaToyaJMTV: Karma is a real baaaaad bixch. Doesn't pay to be disrespectful.
@laurelstucky: And that, my friends, is a challenge.
@MTVFrankSweeney: Unfortunately, this is why #TheChallenge is so hard. You go in with someone who has your back and leave with dagger scars.
@MTVFrankSweeney: Who should go? A team that has never posed a threat or the guy I called my "best friend" who said he's out to get me & my team? #Exactly
@Knight_MTV: Lost my brother today in #rivals2 ill rep with the American flag bandana for him
@MTVBananas: It's always nice to see a few minutes of the challenge mixed in between all those commercials! #Rivals2 @mtv
@JordanMTV: It would only be fitting to win #Duel3 if @TheMarkLong competed! I wouldn't have it any other way! @bunimmurray @mtv #oldschool #legend
@jonnamtv: Good show. Fun challenge, intense elimination round, and big surprise on the end. @MTV #Rivals2
@EmFitMTV: Ummm wtf just happened
@JazMTV: Damn people going hard tonight on Twitter. I'll be at the bars don't got time for this #austin
@CookeMTV: Holy sh1t that teaser was cray!!!! #rivals2
@CaraMariaMTV: random fact: the confessional rooms were about 100 degrees and humid. we were sweating balls in there. #TheChallenge #Rivals2 #ImMelting
@ToriFiorenza: Who in the world throws away a vote??? #whatjusthappened Nice game play @DiemBrownMTV!!
@NanyMTV: @RealityRadioPod @Chet_Cannon supposed to be a \"throwaway vote\"We thought for sure the last 2 teams would never vote for them. Thought wrong
@RobinHibbard14: What total mistake girls don't y'all talk and make decisions to help y'all next week. #Rivals2
@katie_ambrosio8: @WesMTV and @TheOfficial_CT are laughing together? Having a good time? What is the world coming too?! #Rivals2
@lynzsmits: I think it's so cute when the guys wear each others jerseys!!! @Knight_MTV @ZachMTV #Rivals2 #bromance
@EmileeMTV: And the plot thickens. #Rivals2
@CookeMTV: @RoyLee25mtv so ur tellin me there's a chance!?!? #DumbAndDumber reference

@JazMTV: I can tell from tweets what happened!! Next time pay attention to the rules!! #Rivals2
@PrestoMagicmtv: What a challenge shake up! #Rivals2
@EmileeMTV: Now, which vag is @RoyLee25mtv coming back to slay with a mighty vengeance? TIME WILL TELL. #Rivals2
@DiemBrownMTV: I dont throw votes away @AneesaMTV told @RoyLee25mtv &ty before deliberation that we were voting for them bc we were last on their save list
@DC408DXTR: Oh my god, are you kidding me?!? @MTVtrey @ZachMTV are disqualified for not following the rules. This is absolutely heartbreaking. #Rivals2
@DC408DXTR: @MTVtrey oh my gosh, my heart just breaks for you bud. You & @ZachMTV won that thing fair & square and then this awful DQ. Very unfortunate.
@MTVTrey: @dc408dxtr it was really hard to watch it again
@DC408DXTR: @MTVtrey yeah I feel you man. Now you have this as your motivation to try & turn this ordeal into eventually winning a future Challenge.
@DC408DXTR: @MTVtrey and you're not alone, some Challenge big names have used failures in one Challenge into eventually winning in a future season.
@Knight_MTV: It's like u wanna date him frank damn jealous of other ppls relationship @ZachMTV .......
@AneesaMTV: hope you guys enjoyed the episode. It's only gonna get better. Stay tuned #rivals2
@JordanMTV: Tonight's challenge was dope af. Rookies put on a #Rivals2 clinic up there aaand lucky enough to see two good teams in the jungle. Night all
@AshleeFeldman: So many things to say but I'm taking the high road. I'm on Zach's team no matter what. Bottom line it's a game. Eff everybody.
@ZachMTV: My deepest apologies to @MTVtrey because of me he had to go home, and nobody deserved to be there more. He's a true class act. @MTV
@MTVTrey: .@ZachMTV I appreciate that bro but you don't owe me any apology. We were a team. Thanks for putting our differences aside and working w/ me

@DavidBloom7: #Rivals2 Winners of the Night: @JordanMTV and @JDeezyMTV - If you are going to prove yourself in a rookie season, this is the new standard.

So, with the best competition moment of the season and one of the best elimination battles ever on The Challenge, that's it. Just as we wrap, again as stated above, apologies for the foul language used in many of these tweets, which were retained in its uncensored form and I'm not responsible for it.
   Tomorrow, DC SocialPulse's look at Rivals II as Twitter saw it rolls on as we look at Episodes 8, 9 and 10. There, we'll cover CT/Diem, Camila's latest meltdown, a fight among the game's big dogs and more. Follow me on twitter @dc408dxtr for Rivals 2 alerts for webcasts and articles on the competitors, and all-night, dual-coast live tweeting of Wednesday's finale & reunion. And stay here on DC Blog for more blog posts covering the Challenge/RW world and other things, as well as to my Instagram @dc408dxtr and my other social media sites. For now, thanks for reading and Happy Autumn.

- DC
