Well, after a most eventful week in this imperfect world we all live in, we've at last arrived at the weekend. And welcome on in to our look at Week 5 of Real World Bad Blood from the vantage point of DCBLOG on this, DCBDAY Weekend for this very blogger and writer - yours truly, DC Cueva. There's been a lot going the past several days, but if you - like many others - like to have some relief from what's been flooding your timelines and causing you plenty of fatigue, then you've come to the right place as we will look in at Episode 6 from Seattle.
   Last week was the first full week in the Pacific Northwest at double the original house occupancy as Mike and Peter made up and then pursued Jordan and Anna, respectively. Anna and sister Katrina then get into more words thanks in part to the man who's instigated plenty of activity in his MTV career. And most of the focus was on the male cousins and the building tension that came from the fallout of the marijuana discovery that cost one's football aspirations.
   This week, the focus turns from the ongoing tension between Theo and Kassius to other matters in the house. The feud that's been brewing between sisters Katrina and Anna is upped even more when Peter begins to get close with, and then gets into bed, with one of them. We finally get into the story of what befell the once-great friendship of Jordan and Orlana, and a dark secret that has been kept by one of them until now. And for the pair of exes who don't have to worry about having to throw away either's food, Jenn has eyes on closure with her ex, Robbie.

Coming up, we have how the cast saw this week's drama in the Seattle house through the social media world. Note this is a scaled down edition of the Pulse as in the lead-up and aftermath posts, there are no tweets related to the election, and we've decided that it would be best to just focus on the show itself for those of you who prefer it this way after how long the campaign was and the aftermath of Tuesday's events. And afterwards, ExtraTime will take you back in time as we catch up with a Challenge and Road Rules veteran from back in the day, and the feat they pulled off that might be the ultimate underdog tale in the history of the MTV Trifecta.

- 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.

A sister feud intensifies, exes seek closure, a secret and catching up with a Challenge queen... Stay with us as DCBLOG brings you the week that was in the Real World Bad Blood house, next.

So, things heated up there in the city that prides itself on being the dreariest city in America with rain and clouds most of the year. We had Lana reveal that she had suicidal thoughts in a time of depression after losing her best friend. We saw Peter kiss Anna one week and then this week the Maze Runner champ decides to make out with Robbie's ex Jennifer just after she goes on a date to settle things with the ex. And this all comes after Peter spends time in bed with Anna, which added fuel to the fire that is the feud between her and Katrina.
   Quite a way to take attention away from the previous night's drama. We'll have more on Episode 6 on DC WRAP coming up in a day or so. Now, let's turn back the clock...

CATCHING UP WITH...
SARAH GRAYSON - GAUNTLET QUEEN

This summer when it celebrated its 35th anniversary, MTV relaunched the channel known then as VH1 Classic and brought it the MTV banner. The MTV Classic channel is now home to the slew of past MTV shows from the '90s and 2000's, joining the retrospective music programming and videos that existed there before the relaunch back on August 1st. Of course, this includes The Real World and Challenge franchise, and there have been weekend marathons of past seasons of both shows along with that first Road Rules season featuring a young Mark Long. A member of the alumni of that erstwhile third show of the Trifecta is the subject of this "Catching Up With..." profile.
   Season 12 of Road Rules in summer 2002 -- fourteen years ago -- saw that season's cast take a coast-to-coast U.S. trek, just as it was for that first go-around years earlier. This time, the group and their RV made stops at colleges and universities across America as TV's original reality competition series made its way along the Campus CrawlThey began their season with that Polar Plunge of diving into the cold water of the winter to grab the RV keys, then rolled a car like a movie stuntman, got down with the military at The Citadel, danced in front of hip-hop icons Outkast, got naked in New Orleans, had a gross-out dinner in Texas, and escaped straight jackets from high above. Before The Challenge brought this to a whole new level, this was as crazy as you can get on MTV...plus there was plenty of drama outside the missions, too.
   Along with all of this, when they lost to the legendary original Real World Vegas cast in a face-off challenge in their backyard, the cast managed to make up for it in typical Road Rules fashion by sneaking into the Palms suite and handcuff Steven to the same hot tub as his infamous threesome. And in the season's final mission, they were all blindfolded with their RV suspended above ground inside a maze, and with trust being key they all depended upon each other as they should in this team game and endured that epic final to earn their handsome reward of a trip around the world. Three members of that cast - Darrell, Rachel and Shane - would go on to become Challenge staples with each of them winning titles... and if the word on the grapevine is right we might as well hear from them again in the not-so-distant future.
   Towards the end of Road Rules' 8-year MTV run, the show took a cue from then-Viacom sibling CBS' revolutionary reality show Survivor and began implementing something that would ultimately make its way into Challenge world. At any point did the cast not complete a mission successfully, they would be put under intense pressure to get the job done in the very next time, or else. If they lost that one, they would have to vote off one of their castmates...this was the same scenario that would've played out on last season's Real World but ultimately saw the eighth roommate Dylan simply move in without someone getting voted off. It was that twist that befell the likes of Jisela & Kina and introduced us to Challenge stalwarts Katie & Tina. That's where we meet our subject.


When we first met Sarah Greyson that summer, she was a wide-eyed 18-year-old teenager who grew up in a wealthy family of doctors in her small Oklahoma town but shortly developed a spirit of being artistic and independent. During the summer after her freshman year in college, she refused to go by the rules of her parents by breaking curfew, and eventually she broke away from her family by becoming a waitress and survive on her own in working hard at that job. But in spite of being able to thrive when there was rough seas to endure, she nonetheless was very vulnerable. All told, she had everything money can buy except love, acceptance and the desire to be liked.
   From the outset on the Road Rules RV, it was clear that Sarah saw herself as the weak link of the group as her castmates were physically active and she was just here to enjoy the experience and not get sporty-like. But after some stumbles, she was able to prove herself as they progressed along the way. But in their 10th mission, the group rolled into Lubbock, TX - Texas Tech country, and went car surfing. The nerves got the best of them as several players weren't able to drive stick and ultimately lost the mission. Along with the possibility of voting someone off, there was also the choice of whether to vote someone off or give up the prizes & cash they accumulated up to that point. If having to do politics in the Challenge house is one thing, it's another to deliberate whether to give up someone they shared a strong bond with or to return their winnings to save that person. But in the end after pleads by Kendal for her to stay, Rachel changed her vote and Sarah packed her bags.

It was that haunting experience that inspired Sarah when she was asked to be on The Challenge: Gauntlet a year later in 2003. It would turn out to be her only Challenge appearance, but in a broader sense this was the equivalent of several Challenges for the feat she pulled off what might be the most improbable run to the winner's circle we have ever seen in the Trifecta... and we only thought what Mike and his AYTO Season 3 castmates did last year was an epic feat. That season, she found herself at odds with Team Road Rules, which included not only the aforementioned Darrell and Rachel, but also future comedian Theo Von, Veronica, Abram, Tina, Katie and future Grimm star Dave Giuntoli, among others.
   The ode of being a Challenge rookie is that you're sent in at first chance and would be kept on being sent in until you lose. Well, Sarah was sent in not only at the first try, but FIVE times during the course of the whole Challenge - which was one of the handful of old-school Challenges to take place in the U.S. in Telluride, CO, hosted by the late Dave Mirra. In an interview with MTV.com a few years back, Sarah admitted to wanting to be the first one out with a boyfriend she was living with in New York was anticipating just a quick fly-back after a quick business vacation. Instead, when she found out that her teammates wanted her out, she became, in her words, "a rebel with a cause."
   First, Sarah faced "Mr. Baby Come Tonight" - David of the first RW New Orleans, and she won that first one. Then in in her second elimination, she met his NOLA roommate Matt, and won that battle in the time where they had guy vs. girl elimination rounds. In her third trip, she had a rematch with Trishelle, and Sarah took down the fan favorite. The next week, she was at it again: this time with that punk-rock girl from RW Back to New York Rachel B., and she had her fourth elimination win. And in week 13, Sarah faced off with RW Las Vegas' Irulan, and grabbed another feather in the cap with her fifth elimination win.
   It was winning those five eliminations that grabbed the attention of just about everyone in the Rocky Mountains and they took notice of how not to underestimate anyone on The Challenge, even those who you think would not be athletic at first; ask Jenna, Preston and Team Princess what that feels like. Sarah survived the last regular mission to earn her ticket to the final, and in the end she joined a stacked Road Rules team who dominated a short-handed Real World team which included Coral, Mike The Miz and RW Vegas' Alton to take the crown.
   Sarah went into the elimination chamber five times that fall & winter, and came out of all five battles victorious: it's tied for the most elimination wins in a single Challenge season - Wes won five on his first Challenge - Fresh Meat I ten years ago - and ultimately placed third in the final. In this instance, Sarah not only went to the final but came away a champion: a $25,000 winner's check as proof. This is perhaps the greatest run to a Challenge title ever and maybe the ultimate underdog story in the history of the entire Trifecta, even when you account that her win came when the man would eventually win six Challenges was still attending Penn State.

Now, fast-forward some fourteen years after her first time on MTV, and Sarah has her focus on Hollywood. She not only reconciled with her family, she used that prize money to pay off her debts and to get an education which eventually got her a theater degree. That kick-started a post-MTV life that has seen her be part of seven films, many Broadway plays and lots of commercials. And this past season, it brought her to the most famous city in the world of animated television: Springfield, home of The Simpsons. For the most recent season of the longest-running animated series in TV history, she served as an animation production assistant behind the scenes for the show.
   During the most recent season of The Challenge, Sarah joined the inseparable duo of Susie and Sarah on the Brain Candy Podcast. There, they discussed the Road Rules vet's time on Campus Crawl, her time on The Gauntlet and all else. Check that out at thebraincandypodcast.com.

That does it for this edition of The 'Pulse of Real World Bad Blood. Coming up on the WRAP: we'll be offering perspective on one of the most serious topics some people go through that was mentioned on this past week's episode. Plus, join an AYTO alum & Challenge competitor as she hangs with celebrities and even her ex in the SoCal sun, and of course our recap and poll results.
   But, this will take a backseat for the next two days for DCBDAY Weekend. Tonight is the much anticipated debut of mixed martial arts in the state of New York, as the Big Apple hosts UFC 205 at Madison Square Garden, headlined by Conor McGregor looking to make history and become the promotion's first two-division champion, among three world title fights. We'll have live tweets from MSG at 10PM ET/7PM PT, followed by the first of two special birthday editions of DC Playlist. Of course, I'll be celebrating this weekend with all of you in social land across all of my social media avenues, and be sure to include the hashtag #DCBDay in your posts when you wish me happy birthday tonight and tomorrow.
   Thank you for checking out this week's edition of the 'Pulse, and do be sure to rejoin us here later when our coverage of the MTV Trifecta continues on DCBLOG. And when you can, please be safe tonight and enjoy your Saturday. See you then.
