We've just celebrated Thanksgiving and we're now into the holiday season after the 4-day weekend. And for those of us lucky to follow the MTV Trifecta, last week was a much-needed week off after what we've been through with Are You The One? Season 3. But now after a most interesting season, a controversial cast and a most-eventful finale, the focus has shifted like a laser beam from the Big Island of Hawaii to Bodrum, Turkey and Season 27 of The Challenge, which kicks off in two days from now.
Wednesday, December 2nd is almost here, and we'll be watching, following and covering Battle of the Bloodlines right here. It's a whole new Challenge and an entirely new game that will make things feel more personal and more tense than what we have seen before in "the fifth major pro sport." Of course, we can expect great competition, even more drama, a cast that's full of names familiar and fresh, and of course lots of twists none more so than the family twist that's being introduced to this world for the first time.
This new Challenge will be the 10th MTV season we've covered here on DCBLOG, as well as the 12th Trifecta season in my soon to be 5 years in the social world. And of course as always I'm excited to both watch this season and bring you posts here, taking you once again wire to wire from the preseason buzz right through the crowning of the champion in a few months from now in the new year.
Coming up here in the first of three posts planned during this premiere week, we'll have a preview of this new Challenge, including a look at all the teams competing in Turkey and their back stories. Plus, we'll also have our customary section, Who Are These Newbies? that will introduce this season's four rookies & one returning competitor to the hardcore fans and newcomers to this franchise.
