Hey there, we're at the weekend and spring is definitely in the air. We're past the halfway point of The Challenge: War of the Worlds, and things are now an individual matter from here on out with the season to crown, as it was a year ago at this time, one gender-neutral champion and two runners-up who will share in the $1 million prize pool when this is all done.

Along with being at halfway through the season being taken care of, there is also something that takes place around this time: the filming of the reunion for this Challenge season, which for the first time will not take place in MTV's seat of government in New York City, but outside the United States in the historic yet vibrant city of London, England in the United Kingdom. That's the focus of this installment of the Pulse Extra as we'll be following the cast in Britain meeting up for the reunion which comes our way at season's end.

But there is something different we're currently doing for this section in getting this spring cycle started in going Inside MTV Reality... we at DCBLOG will explain that afterwards. For now, indulge yourself in the in-between interaction between the first episode of the individual phase of the season and the episode that aired just before last week's. See you after the jump...




IN BETWEEN: London, #GOT, Masters, Coachella, Vegas Reunites

@MissArissa: I wonder why, in the history of all this groundbreaking television, why hasn't MTV ever really explored the psychology of an experience like this, and the aftermath...? Not a reunion (per se) to be filmed and exploited for high drama...
@MissArissa: But explore what happens to these people after they participate in this social experiment... with whomever wanted to give some insight on what really happens because there really is so, so much..
@MissArissa: What are these relationships like now? I mean, there are only 6 other people who walk the earth that *really know* what that experience was like for each season, and, who also share a similar parallel in the aftermath...
@MissArissa: I'm bonded to these 6 strangers who are literally like family, in a way that no one else could ever truly know or comprehend... I wonder if other casts feel the same way about their reality brothers and sisters..
@MissArissa: I had one of the best weekends of my entire life this past weekend. (And that is saying A LOT because I have had some fucking fun times in my twirls around the sun).
@MissArissa: Then, I'm all: Wait. I DID THAT? Like, I really went to Vegas and lived in a casino, for mad months with some of the most attractive people I have ever met in real life. And it was filmed. Then broadcast onto cable Television.
@MissArissa: I know this might sound super bizarre because it was such a huge part of my life, but sometimes, I forget that I was on the Real World... it only when someone recognizes me and says something, and I am all: Holy shit, that's right- I did that.

Here at the end, we would usually say here to stay tuned for the Pulse of the episode itself, and how everyone in your social media constituency reacted to all the action, reaction and interaction of the episodes. But to not spoil your fun, the episodes for both last week and this week both have cliffhangers at the end.
   In the case of our original episode coverage in the Wrap's we now do not too frequently -- as you can easily recaps and power rankings at the blogs and sites of your choosing, we would typically carry over coverage of those episodes into the following week instead of covering those during the week's wave of posts... that will be the case here with the Pulse diaries of the episodes.
   So, it's with this in mind, and being mindful of the audience who might feel it's ideal to binge-watch the episodes at this time of the season now, we'll be saving our Pulse posts for Episodes 11 and 12 for whenever there's a definite conclusion to any episode. We'll be compiling all the interaction of those episodes and present them as backtracked editions of the SocialPulse as part of a special, expanded weekend of Pulse posts. So, need not worry... we will have it all covered for you here then.

But in the meantime, as we did last week with our nostalgic flashback to three memorable Real World seasons, we'll continue to take this opportunity in the interim to showcase our talents of offering compelling storytelling through the platform of ExtraTime. And as college students prepare for final exams and graduation, through the help of a reality TV winner turned betting & online auctioneer we'll be getting to know a trio who have become online royalty in the world of YouTube. Join us for that here and more coming up... for now, enjoy your Saturday.
