@DC408dxtr / @DC408dxnow

It's the first 3-day holiday weekend of 2016 and on this MLK Day weekend, we bring you another edition of DC SocialPulse as we bring you the journal of Episode 8 of The Challenge Battle of the Bloodlines. We've had quite the season so far with plenty of drama on both the field and in the house, but this week provided us a chance for reflection amidst what we've endured up to this point.
   Last week in Bodrum, Turkey, we had a great Challenge romance come into a rocky road as rumors of cheating by Cara Maria sent Abram into an emotional tailspin. That translated into a most intense elimination that saw his bloodline brother Michael beat Thomas' brother Stephen. We also had a tense After Show as well that saw this great relationship turn sour as well.
   This week, the attention from a game standpoint turns to a 5-time champ and his worries that the strategy of trying to manipulate people is starting to get the best of him. And after what we saw with him a few weeks back, his actions have a huge impact on the week's outcome. But no matter who wins or loses, the week's overarching theme is on fallen Challengers Diem Brown and Ryan Knight with the cast being joined by CT and Diem's sister, Faith in tribute to them.
   We'll bring you all the action, reaction and interaction from this episode here, Challenge week & it's aftermath, plus Powerball, the Playoffs, the Golden Globes and more. This is a busy week in the Trifecta as we also have the season launch of Season 31 of Real World with a bold new twist as well...more on that in our other post here later.

- As we begin, please note there is explicit language in many of the tweets below, but they are kept uncensored in order to retain the heat of the moment. So if you are mature enough, please read with discretion. :-)
- Plus, if you haven't watched the episode yet, then do not proceed with reading this post. But need not worry...DCBLOG will compile all of these tweets into these posts after every episode so you won't be in the dark of how your favorites saw this all unfold.

So, join in after the jump for a packed week and an emotional Challenge, 'Pulse style.

> #DCChallenge: And As I Saw It on #DCNOW
@dc408dxnow: So last week we had a great Challenge romance run into some drama. Tonight should be a little different, perhaps a little poignant as well.
@dc408dxnow: We begin w/ talk of what KellyAnne & Anthony could possibly do & this Bananas thing again. If blue wins somehow, her future uncertain here
@dc408dxnow: And where has Anthony been all along here? And of Jamie as well? Focus after LW turning to them. Now the week's mission... #DCChallenge
@dc408dxnow: .@TheOfficial_CT & Diem Brown's sister @faith__brown have arrived in remembrance of a Challenge legend. Very poignant moment. #DCChallenge
@dc408dxnow: November 2014 was no the most emotional month in the TeamMTV community. Two people who competed on the same Challenge, died within 13 days.
@dc408dxnow: Using elements of the same mission Diem competed on Duel1 after revealing her bald head for 1st time, is being demo'ed by CT & Faith.
@dc408dxnow: It's because of CT that people like Cory began watching this show & competing here and now he sees him with his own eyes right here.
@dc408dxnow: It's in Diem's spirit that this mission begins, & it's KA makes it across & Mitch falls. Vince falls just short of the finish line.
@dc408dxnow: Jenna also falls short on girl Pit week, but Aneesa completes. Blue gets 4 players across; team w/ most gets immunity. This is a tough task.
@dc408dxnow: Bree and Abe are first to finish. JB wants Rianna to lose and she falls. Cory finishes, but Bananas falls. That is unfortunate.
@dc408dxnow: Cara thinks JB has thrown this, and now it's up to Anthony to not lose this. But it's clear, this is for show. Again, not good.
@dc408dxnow: Jamie is not happy after Anthony decides to fall. It's clear that the target this week is KellyAnne. Now it comes down to time here w/ 3-3
@dc408dxnow: Fastest time goes to Team Red via the tiebreaker and it's a shock that they didn't come in here to be 100% & win, it's baffling tbh.
@dc408dxnow: Among Aneesa, KellyAnne & Jenna, only one girl will be staying here. And now things getting heated over this gameplay & the coming vote.
@dc408dxnow: Votes: KellyAnne, Jenna, Jenna-2, Jenna-3, KA-2, KA-3. This among blue & who goes in comes down to a vote here that will be crucial.
@dc408dxnow: Jenna is named the 1st one. Votes/red: KellyAnne, Aneesa, KA-2, KA-3 as Bananas votes in her. Aneesa- by Cory, KA-4, KA-5. KellyAnne in.
@dc408dxnow: KellyAnne trusted Bananas & gets the wrong end of this. And if she wins, there'll be some more bad blood here. #DCChallenge
@dc408dxnow: Club night as CT & Faith join the group, which for a moment brings poignancy to an eventful season. Becoming too much for KA & Bananas.
@dc408dxnow: Attention turning to Jamie as he deals w/ Bananas & Vince. No shortage of drama even on a night out all before a crucial Pit. #DCChallenge
@dc408dxnow: Elimination time. KellyAnne has never had an exit before the last elimination. Jenna's looking for a 3rd Pit win. Time to go dizzy.
@dc408dxnow: They're off & spinning. It's a wild thing to try & stay upright & still and KA is 1st on the stool & will get this one done 1st.
@dc408dxnow: It's 2 rounds & Cara reminds us now important it is to win the 1st & gain momentum. KA might be on her way to winning this by way of RD 1.
@dc408dxnow: Now the 2nd one. They've spun their way around again & now it comes to stacking logs. Jenna completes. Kelly's falls, now has to do it again
@dc408dxnow: Finally. Now it comes to who did this the fastest. @tjlavin to @JennaCompono: "you are unstoppable in the pit." Win #3. #DCChallenge
@dc408dxnow: I've got early candidate for Breakout Performer here & when you win 3 eliminations in one season, you've earned your stripes. @JennaCompono

So, we had more of Bananas' manipulative antics take care of yet another fan favorite as well as a botched chance to throw a challenge dominate the game story. But when we look back on this week, it comes back to one of MTV's most inspiring people and her longtime love grabbing the spotlight and remind us of that great time in Challenge history. More on that below.
   Now, with my attention turning to an upcoming NFL blog series here, I've decided to carry over the usual Things to Kmow review for this episode to next week to ease the weekly work load that I have ahead of me. But there is an abbreviated edifion of DC WRAP to cover this week headed your way here later. Now, a special Forum.


 DC FORUM 
Brief Thoughts on Diem

Credit: MTV's Challenge IG
At the week's mission, The Challenge paid homage to two of their fallen comrades in Diem Brown and Ryan Knight. Ask anyone in the Trifecta community and they'll vividly remember November 2014 and those 13 days when they suffered two losses that was deeply felt by every single member of the MTV family. Diem's passing came a day after my 31st birthday, while Knight's untimely death came early on Thanksgiving morning. Obviously as an MTV fan who talked with them several times in my time here socially, I was affected by their deaths as well.
   On Wednesday, we saw MTV bring on Diem's sister, Faith Brown - a TV news producer, and Diem's longtime love CT to help pay tribute to them before the competitors went into business. Their job was short but sweet in helping to demo the competition for everyone before the competitors went into battle. Obviously they didn't compete in the actual one, but just seeing the great Challenge beast and someone who knew Diem just as well as anyone else was something to see for the competitors.
   When we saw Diem on The Duel nearly a decade ago, her first challenge since ovarian cancer for the first time, Diem had entered that week's mission having not taken off her wig in public and revealing the bald head she had while she was in chemotherapy and of her cancer now in remission. She had relented at first from competing, but at last minute she decided to take part and that moment is still in everyone's memory bank of her persevering to not only compete but also win that day. Because of me having not been a huge Challenge follower until fairly recently in 2012, it was only before Rivals II and her appearing there that I got my first glimpse of her on these shows and of watching that iconic moment as well.
   I do echo with Andrew Kirk in that it was a great gesture of bringing Faith Brown and CT onto this episode to recognize her late sister and Knight, knowing very well the theme of family that's been prevalent on this season. There's obviously no greater icon to this generation of fans of The Challenge and Real World franchise than Diem, and there's no greater love story perhaps in the nearly 25-year relationship MTV and show producer Bunim-Murray Productions have documented than her and CT. This family-oriented season could not have been complete without giving a nod to them and the great romance they provided that remains one of the greatest stories that MTV has brought to us.



Before we conclude, we send our congrats out to Real World Austin alum Melissa Stolp, where over the weekend she tied the knot for the second time, but this time with her fiance. Congrats to the new Melinda Collins and best wishes to her and her husband as they embark on their new journey.
   That will bring to an end this week's 'Pulse as I get back to work on my NFL series and work on the Wrap as well. That will be up tomorrow, or perhaps later tonight, with just Winners of the Night, more fan reaction, the launch of Real World Go Big and a Team MTV reunion.
   In the meantime, check out my 'Pulse Special from the weekend after Diem Brown's passing here, which provided reflections from yours truly on her Challenge career and her battle with ovarian cancer, and reaction from the MTV community from that November 14, 2014 day.
   Until then, thanks for reading and enjoy your week ahead.

- I AM DC
