BACKTRACKED EDITION

This is Memorial Day Weekend, and these are the three days that, in the minds of so many, officially begin summer in America. And as hundreds of thousands are gathering in Indianapolis this weekend for the biggest and most prestigious event in American open-wheel racing in the Indianapolis 500 - while others are in Monte Carlo for the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Monaco and NASCAR fans are gathering in Charlotte for the Coca-Cola 600, Season 33 of what's acknowledged by many the fifth major pro sport known at MTV's The Challenge has reached the starting line for the final challenge of War of the Worlds in Namibia.

When we last southwestern Africa, the last challenge before the final took place with the eight competitors who did not place first in the previous week's competition being given one last shot to earn their way into the final with one final purge to join Cara Maria and Turbo. The man who's made plenty of headlines in the past thirteen months, Paulie, opted to risk his body before the final by going all out in an over-water obstacle course... and he paid a big price by not making the final at all. Wes, Theo and Hunter made it through ahead of him by playing it safe, while the only real battle existed among the ladies: despite encountering a seal, Mattie made the final to join Georgia and Ninja and sending home Da'Vonne after she took out Dee in the last Killing Floor elimination.

The final challenge of any Challenge season is one that combines endurance, toughness, brains and every kind of emotion you can think of to produce a hour or two of compelling television that almost always has everyone talking long after TJ Lavin hands out the money and announces who wins it all. That has not been the case in a while on this show, especially after what we saw last year on Final Reckoning even before Ashley M. stealing all of Hunter's money. That won't the case this time around, as the finalists will find themselves tackling one of the hardest finals in Challenge history right in the heart of the desert, where a 50-mile journey - almost two full marathons back to back - will await them in day 1 alone... and thanks to a never-before-seen twist that goes down at day's end and the toughness of this exam, not everyone will make it out at the halfway point.

As it was for Free Agents, Invasion of the Champions, Dirty 30 and Final Reckoning, this War of the Worlds final is a cycling-style cumulative timed final being conducted over multiple stages and over two days. The winner of this season - and who places 2nd, 3rd and so on down the line - will be determined just like in the Tour de France: whoever clocks in the lowest cumulative time will win, and only those who are in the top three of the eight will cash. And as it was on Vendettas, this is a solo competitor, gender-neural final challenge, where the champion will pocket a first place check of $750,000, second place winning $200,000 and the bronze medalist earns $50,000.

So, welcome on in: it's the finale of War of the Worlds... all ahead on the SocialPulse of The MTV Challenge at DCBLOG. We're glad you're with us...

@DerrickMTV: Here’s a FUN @ChallengeMTV FACT: - We’ve NEVER seen so many competitors fall and fall out like that, in that kind of fashion, in any FINALE.  S/O to everyone who gave it a crack and is still in there GRINDIN. ✊ #TheChallenge33

@BDiesel37: Best part of #TheChallenge33 finale part 1 was my boy @turabicamkiran saying, “Who is ready to die for 1st place?! Just me!” #iLoveit #Turabi #Turbo #TurboTime ~~ Let’s go get 1st place bro! I believe it is yours!
@Sassy_Katttt: As lovable as Turbo is, if you told me he was a serial killer I’d probably believe that too.  #TheChallenge33
@RealityInternn: “Sorry my body, I cannot listen to you, you have to listen to me” Turbo is killing the inspirational one liners #TheChallenge33
@Ninja_Natalie: As painful as it was, last night’s first leg of the #TheChallenge33 Final was the closest I’ve felt my cast members feel like the supportive Ninja Community I came from.
@Ninja_Natalie: We are all competing in the SAME course for the prize. And you see Wes try twice to entourage Hunter before letting him fall behind. I see Georgia struggle to continue, but sometimes it just takes one more push to continue. Medics were near by, and she was severely dehydrated.
@Ninja_Natalie: ...and most importantly for me, Mattie telling me “Do it for the rookie girls.” right before she was eliminated.

Ninja offering the last words there as with one half done, the final of War of the Worlds is already shaping up to be a classic after that battle in the desert that's just getting started with much more on offer before we can give out the $1 million. If you're curious, it translates to roughly £786,600 as the British pound sees it, €892,340 in the Euros, and an astonishing ₺6.1 million Turkish Iira. And if Turbo gets crowned king, the $750k would number in ₺4.56 million... Theo would win £589,878.
   If you're scoring at home, Theo finished 1st, then Wes in 2nd, Turbo in 3rd, Ninja 4th, Cara Maria 5th and Hunter 6th, with Mattie and Georgia departing in 7th and 8th respectively by them being medically evacuated, but with a lot to be proud as rookies and now know what they have to do to make the next step. The Brit, the Gingerman and the Turk have a big choice on their hands with what to do with those in the bottom three of the totem pole as they make up the judging panel, and we'll be joining them in court for one last tribunal when the Pulse of Part 2 of the finale comes your way on Memorial Day.

But as we head towards that, ahead we got a juicy appetizer: it's one of the most awesome things we've ever encountered on here... a YouTube series inspired by The Challenge, and the latest chapter promises to be something else. We'll be heading back to the outskirts of the Big Apple to join host & MTV superfan Andres Rodriguez for the tenth season of his great creation, The Caucus Challenge as his troop of friends and their friends gather for a backyard battle unlike any other. For now, have a great Saturday everyone.
