Hello, and welcome to the last several days of the summer of 2019... that is, by the spiritual calendar of how most of America see the year's hottest season and how they handle vacations and time off. And we're about to enter the fall season of the 2019 MTV Reality schedule, with eight months of exciting television behind us and one-third of the year ahead... for which the first show of this fall debuted this Wednesday with the premiere of The Challenge: War of the Worlds 2.
   If you have a Twitter app on your phone (and it's likely that you do), not only are you enthralled by the interaction that takes place during the shows you love watching, but also before and after it airs. That's what those of you who are part of the MTV Reality fandom get to do as part of your obsession with TV's most-exciting reality shows, and DC SocialPulse has been your guide to every big moment of The Challenge that has occurred since we started covering this in 2013, especially the role it plays in not just that show but every MTV series nowadays.
   As a public service to all fans - cable subscribers, cord-cutters and avid fans alike, the 'Pulse will be here every weekend to bring you all the action, reaction and interaction from cast, alumni and fans from each episode and the buzz before and after the now 90-minute episodes of this series, being expanded by fan demand after viewers tuned in droves to the freshest and boldest Challenge season in years. That's just part of the DCBLOG story, with the rest of our outstanding coverage for The Challenge, as well as other series, available for you to "See For Yourself."

After the jump, we begin taking the Pulse of War of the Worlds 2 with this pre-diary ahead of our main episode coverage coming this weekend - starting when the cast and trailer was unveiled earlier this month, and right up to Challenge Eve. And that includes a stop in New Jersey for this week's Video Music Awards, and a member of last season's cast & the first set of Ex On The Beach singles attending the holy union of Chris & Krystal on Bachelor in Paradise. Enjoy...

As you get through this Friday, we have a lot to bring you here over this long Labor Day weekend and early into next week, so here's what got planned as you wrap up here...
● Tomorrow, a SocialPulse double shot: the actual premiere diary itself of War of the Worlds 2, as Team USA and Team UK face off in the trenches, in the house and on the Proving Ground where a classic elimination game awaits. Then, it's the 'Pulse of Ex On The Beach as the house plays host to an ER party and the actor & singer of the Malibu house goes under the spotlight again.
● And as you saw above, there was the Video Music Awards. ExtraTime join those who grew up watching two of MTV's biggest hits as they trek to summer's biggest bash, as the casts of Floribama Shore and Siesta Key experience the VMA's together as Team Florida, ahead of season 3 of both of those shows... all among other goodies we have lined up as we begin this busy fall ahead.
● On DCNOW @DC408DxNow, my live Twitter channel will hold a watch party for the season finale of The Real World Atlanta, and Labor Day weekend installments of #DCPlaylist. If you don't know what that is, it's essentially my own radio station that doesn't play music, but just a running diary of what's playing in my ears... all as we're celebrating my nephew's birthday this weekend.
● During one of those sessions, yours truly will reveal some big news surrounding this year's BIG vacation I'm taking this fall. A Twitter poll is up now on @DC408Dxtr of where you think it might be... the poll closes before Midnight ET/9:00PM PT on Saturday night, for which the destination will be revealed in a roadblock on all my social networks, with an accompanying DCBLOG post.

So, that's what we have coming up over the coming weekend - but things can change now until then... but we hope you'll be with us at DCBLOG as we go Inside MTV Reality. Enjoy the weekend, friends.

- I AM DC
