DCBLOG Look Ahead: Summer Solstice Weekend

A Word from the Editor...

We hope you're enjoying this last official week of summer just before the autumnal equinox that sees us officially welcome fall, or autumn, next week, as well as palindromes being all over our calendars. And we are headed towards the end of the summer season in the world of American television, with the official start of fall TV coming our way next week as well... and if you have been following the reality part of the slate, then these past three nights have been very entertaining, with the genre's biggest night of the Survivor premiere and Big Brother finale just ahead.
   For us here at DCBLOG, we have been very busy this summer in offering plenty of content covering The Challenge: War of the Worlds 2, Ex On The Beach and the recently-wrapped Are You The One? Season 8 and The Real World Atlanta. Things will remain this way as we are now well into the fall... and in brief posts like this we'd like to give you a little heads-up on what we're working on now and what's ahead of us here.

Last night saw episode 4 of what has been an eventful sequel to the fifth major pro sport embracing the international flavor that, for this blogger, is up my alley as an Olympic superfan. Those of you who are accustomed to extensive coverage of this show in the blogosphere usually would have an episode post on that up now... but that's not how we operate things around here.
   If you're new to our site, what makes DCBLOG different is that while we have the ability to do recaps of episodes like other sites do, we think of ourselves more as a supplement to those... and we place greater focus on the secondary show that takes place at the same time as it airs on TV: the social media interaction among cast, alumni and fans like yourselves watching the drama. SocialPulse has given us this platform to bring you the action, reaction and interaction of the episodes - a weekly tradition of ours throughout our now 1000+ post journey through MTV Reality for six years now.
   While we know that a lot of you are still talking about this week's episode after watching it last night, we know that an increasing number of you haven't caught up yet simply because you're a cord-cutter and haven't caught up yet... and with respect to those of you, we won't spoil even a single bit for you there. And that's the reason why we delay posting our Pulse diaries to until a few days after it airs, and to provide those non-cable/satellite viewers all the time to catch up on them, and then join us here for the Pulse to bring them up to date on what they missed while they were away.
   We hope those of you who do know what happened last night before we cover them on here will understand... but that's what makes us distinctive in giving us all the time to compose, compile and curate the most unique, insightful and finest content possible here, and has made us the gold standard among all sites that cover this program and this world. We'll be sure to save a seat for you at the table to rejoin us here when we'll have the Pulse of last night's Challenge episode here this weekend.

Now, something we also place an equal amount of time & effort in is the ExtraTime features unit, and here's a small taste of what's coming up...

● Tonight sees Ex On The Beach air and it's Cut week for those in the house to get scared of as one of the houseguests will be sent home at night's end tonight. But if you stuck around after the most recent episode of Keeping Up with The Kardashians last weekend, you might've seen someone familiar from this summer's villa help out Scott Disick with decorating his house. We'll have a look at when the Kaplan Twins joined him to bring their magic to his daughter's room... but remember they have to be wholesome as Allie & Lexi's paintings are usually not so family friendly.

● This busy reality TV week has seen the finales of American Ninja Warrior and America's Got Talent take center stage, as has the 2019 Bachelor Nation trilogy in Season 6 of Bachelor in Paradise. Someone who we saw make the jump to MTV on Ex On The Beach and last season's War of the Worlds returned to getting roses and romance in front of Chris Harrison, and we'll highlight Chase McNary's return to that show coming up on the weekend. It's also the preferred reality franchise for my parents who are currently on vacation out of the country.

● And following in our post yesterday featuring social influencer Damion Gross, we'll also be heading down to Orlando to join the man behind last week's boss move on War of the Worlds, Josh Martinez, and his Big Brother season 19 roommates in Ex On The Beach couple Mark & Elena as they and the rest of the reality TV family help to bring smiles to amazing and inspiring people who are suffering from critical illnesses. As it was for our post on Damion and his Real World Atlanta friend Dondre, you'll want to have the tissue box handy.

And that is what we have in store coming up here this weekend... but as is always the case with blog sites like this that function in a news-like setting here, schedules can change as warranted by any stories breaking now until then. And beyond this weekend's lineup, we're also working on other posts that will be up over the fall... so it's best to follow me on Twitter @DC408Dxtr for the latest updates and, as always, I'm live with whatever thoughts you may have or any info of interest in the DM's.
   Also this weekend, the biggest names in music are taking center stage at the last major music event of the summer, the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas. Alicia Keys, the Backstreet Boys, Camila Cabello, Chance the Rapper, French Montana, Green Day, Halsey, Marshmello, Miley Cyrus, Steve Aoki and Monsta X are among those taking the main stage at T-Mobile Arena, while Billie Eilish, Lauv, Juice Wrld and CNCO headline the daytime festival stage. I'll be offering live tweets of the live CW webcast on DCNOW @DC408DxNow, where I live tweet MTV shows there too.

So, that's a look ahead at what's to come this weekend... enjoy tonight's tripleheader of Ex On The Beach, Jersey Shore and How Far is Tattoo Far, and we'll see you here then as we look forward to having you join us as we go Inside MTV Reality here at DCBLOG this weekend. Happy 9/19/19...
