Hello there and welcome to the weekend, and to this week Inside MTV Reality... where the summer is approaching its end at the Ex On The Beach villa in Malibu, where we got to meet Mr. 24 on Jersey Shore's Vegas vacation, and where Teen Mom's Chelsea & Cole moved to new surroundings in South Dakota. And The Challenge: War of the Worlds 2 is plowing along in what, so far, has been an American clinic in Thailand on paper, but is certainly a different game outside the fields.

With Wes, Laurel and his friend Bananas already back home, last week the spotlight was on Leroy as he found himself in an unusual position of leader in the U.S. camp, and him doing what he can to tame his American teammates as two Big Brother alumni (including one who made some headlines of his own this week) went after one another... all as the Brits just sat back and relaxed. We had our annual brain fest of trivia that saw many a player get buzzed, while for a British team that just keeps losing we saw British rookie and fitness icon Jenny prove her worth in elimination.

It came as no surprise back in May that a many season's veteran of the Turkish iteration of Survivor won it all... this week, the attention turns to Turbo for a different reason than what we saw from him last season, and one person here will find out that if you wake him up, you will be hearing from him loud and clear. There's also a demanding challenge that sees the U.S. and U.K. tackle a running river and trying to balance relics. And as much as we love trivia, no Challenge season is complete without players colliding head-on: whoever goes into elimination will tackle the battle that is Hall Brawl.

After the jump, all the action, reaction and interaction of Week 7 of War of the Worlds 2 on this DCBLOG SocialPulse... and after the diary we'll join two of last season's Challengers - WOTW finalist Mattie and her friend Gus - as they take their talents back to the beach, as we'll begin the countdown to a new season of Floribama Shore. Thanks for spending your Saturday with us...


IN BETWEEN: Tony & Jemmye at Spartan, London Reunion, Peanut Butter Talk  
@ChallengeMTV: Love meeting everyone here at @SpartanRace! If you’re in ATL come say hi! πŸƒ‍♂️πŸƒ‍♀️ #SpartanxTheChallenge
@JustJem24: Day 1 of @SpartanRace was a such an amazing day and yes, I beat @tonyraines at this puzzle πŸ’…πŸ½. We will be back tomorrow morning for day 2. #spartanXthechallenge
@tonyraines: Me and justjemm_ had a lot of fun meeting everyone at the @spartanrace in Atlanta today! Good luck to everyone who auditioned for the challengemtv and be sure to come back out tomorrow and watch me run in my 1st… https://instagram.com/p/B3QNPNeHDeP/?igshid=qfaee89klqw1
@Gnarly_Keiara: Act like a lady , no I’m good I rather squat and stick my tongue  out , let’s just be real . @ChallengeMTV @JustJem24 @tonyraines
@ChallengeMTV: Love in The Challenge can provide an extra layer of support but in this game, you never know who you can trust. #TheChallenge34
@ChallengeMTV: Me watching my own Instagram Story from last night.  #TheChallenge34
@turabicamkiran: I may say anything, during the competition I may fight with a passion, but at the end the reality is this. Nobody respects their job and their colleagues more than me, even the enemies. @ChallengeMTV
- @DerrickMTV: @turabicamkiran Class Act, bro. ✊ Turbo turned #ChallengeManiaLIVE into Master Class.
@turabicamkiran: Γ‡ok yakΔ±nda ........... πŸ’£ So soon ............ πŸ’£ Time to finish another dream. #shooting #TurboTurabi #Turbo #Turabi #TurboTurabiTeam
- @Idrisvirgo: @turabicamkiran I love to see, My big bro following his dreams πŸ€—
@JennaCompono: We clean up nice 😏

@TheRealNiaMoore: This social media crazed era is so strange to me. A lot of ppl go to concerts, gym, nightclubs, restaurants, sporting events, vacations etc—-just to stand there recording the ENTIRE thing for their IG stories, instead of enjoying the moment. It’s truly weird but the new normal πŸ™
@TheRealNiaMoore: I watched an entire concert on someone’s story. Like I mean she posted everyyyyy single song. 23 videos total. So you PAID almost $200 to record a video on your phone that you are likely never gonna watch again? Got it lol🀦🏾‍♀️
@DayDaVonne_: Idk why they won’t just let me HOST reunions and / or after shows ...  ... Or my own show
@kailah_casillas: This.... obviously is not the classiest picture I’ve ever taken BUT it was at my going away party when i was leaving for Real World. I can’t believe it’s been 4 years.
@kailah_casillas: when you accidentally match πŸ‘€ RiSE Festival last night was amazing ♥️ @iammikeyp @scheana
@kailah_casillas: I really need to do a Vegas “to do” YouTube video. I swear every club has a speakeasy these days.
@kailah_casillas: LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS WANNA KNOW. Because “what club is the best” isn’t a good question. If you’re in Vegas with your friends anywhere is fun.
@blairherter: That’s a wrap on #PabloveAcrossAmerica 2019! Gonna need some time to process this life-altering week, and will update once I do. For now I’ll just say thank you all for your support, and give you this promise: DEM HERTER BOYZ SHALL RIDE AGAIN IN 2020!!
@dc408dxtr: If you're a fan of #BigBrother, you'll want to stick around for a late night post featuring that coming up later on DCBLOG... yes, I don't follow that show as much as I do the MTV beat, but there is something of interest to BB nation that'll be up then.
- @ndlovesndcoiris: @dc408dxtr Big Brother fans with any free time, you should read my friends blog. He has been doing blogs about mtv since 2013   and its a passion of his.

@Rogan_OConnor: The Four Sassiest Queens Yarl Ever Meet.. πŸ˜›✌🏽
@Kmorrisx: People really need to understand The Challenge is a GAME! What ppl go through in real life you don’t treat the same as in a produced tv show.
@JustJem24: So y’all here is the tea... @tonyraines is πŸ’― in the best shape of his life and I an’t wait for him to make his @ChallengeMTV return. He killed his 1st @SpartanRace. #spartanxthechallenge #spartanatlanta

@apressley1406: @DerrickMTV I already knew @JustJem24 & @tonyraines were amazing but seeing them take time to talk to my kids and him helping them climb the rope just made me love them even more!! ❤️

@chuttroat: This photo is cute uwu @WestonBergmann @MattieLBreaux @turabicamkiran @PaulCalafiore_
@FlyLikeJets: One of the most Challenging yet rewarding things I’ve ever done in my life. My first Spartan Race ✅ Hosted by The Challenge! #AROO @SpartanRace @tonyraines @JustJem24
@tonyraines: Had to let everyone know what time it was at the @spartanrace in Atlanta today! Seriously what a great time I had participating in my 1st run. A big thank you to everyone on the Mtv team and @SpartanRace for having… https://instagram.com/p/B3S_2LYnxRt/?igshid=1obs47x01yee4

@DerrickMTV: But, fuck it! @Eminem show was the best! We gotta make it back there again! 😜 Happy Birthday @SHOTOFYAGER! 🀘
@TheAllanAguirre: Inferno 2 was the 10th season of the Challenge and it was the literal best.  They then were able to make 24+ seasons that just aren't as good and it's staggering.
- @TheAllanAguirre: Seriously, Inferno 2 had only 20 cast members and most were iconic: Veronica, CT, Rachel, Abram, Jodi, Derrick, Beth, The Miz, Jamie Chung, Brad, Tina, Darrell, Tonya, Landon, Robin, Dan, Julie, Karamo

@TheMarkLong: Finally catching up on the @ChallengeMTV #WarOfTheWorlds2 ...how many seconds in 5 minutes???....50 seconds (heavy British accent)...πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ #Trivia @tjlavin shakes head in disbeliefπŸ€”

@JustJem24: So many toxic relationships come out of @mtv shows that MTV needs to create a relationship based therapy show with @DevynSimone as the host. Since I’ll be producing this show I make the rules and @ImSarahRice will be now be joining @DevynSimone as a co host. Btw Sarah’s therapy background, Devyn’s experience as a relationship expert, & their history on real world Brooklyn this is an ideal pairing as Co host...
- @DevynSimone: @JustJem24 @ImSarahRice πŸ˜‚ I love you
@TheAllanAguirre: Top 10 Great Challenge Performances That Ended Poorly https://link.medium.com/iaHJDiyKC0 #TheChallenge34
- @TheAllanAguirre: I wrote about the best individual challenge seasons that didn't have happy endings. This was a very fun article to write and also kinda made me sad looking back. Free Agents was the best Cara. Exes 2 Wes was the political master. Gauntlet 2 Derrick was a beast. A good amount of people who tell me they're not fans of Cara, also admit that they were once huge fans of her. Her run on Free Agents was truly a star making season where she went from a supporting player to a major player. Making her broken hand and loss huge.
@brittany_baldi: Want to see me on the big screen?CATS OUT OF THE BAG! October 18th in select theaters for 3 weeks you can see me as Ray Ray. We filmed this movie 3 years ago. I wasnt even going to promote it but I put a lot of hard work on set! Go give it a watch if you are into horror flicks πŸ˜€

AS THEY SAW IT: "Zero Dark Turbo" 
@ChallengeMTV: Another round of #TheChallenge34 is starting RIGHT NOW! Who's watching?!
@Ninja_Natalie: CHALLENGE TIME. #TheChallenge34
@ChallengeMTV: Never know who you can really trust in this game... #TheChallenge34  (GIF: Nany to Turbo - "I'm losing all my friends Turbo")
@ChallengeMTV: *Passive aggressively sends this to my roommate group chat* #TheChallenge34  (GIF: Jordan - "Clean your s___ up!")
@ChallengeMTV: The LITERAL plot of every romantic comedy ever. #TheChallenge34  (GIF: Tori on Jordan - "This is why I hated you before I loved you")
@ChallengeMTV: Me: So, I met someone... My friends: Have you two even spoken yet? Me: #TheChallenge34  (GIF: Tori - "We have a soul contract")
@helloalievans: “This is why I hated you before I loved you” is a mood. @tori_deal #thechallenge34
@King_Henry: CT and Turbo is the dream team I never knew I needed!!! Slay Kings #TheChallenge34
@TheAllanAguirre: MTV used those confessionals of Kam and Cara shitting on Jordan right after he talked about the house being dirty when their confessionals were general use. I get that they don't like Jordan, but I feel like they'd agree that people need to clean the house lmao #TheChallenge34
@ChallengeMTV: That's a tough obstacle to overcome! #TheChallenge34  (GIF: CT - "The attention span of a cockroach")
@Rome_at_Home: Never get in between CT and a puzzle. #TheChallenge34
@WestonBergmann: Pissed off ‘dad’ CT is so much more adorable than pissed off ‘I’m gonna smash your face and eat it’ CT @ChallengeMTV
@Ninja_Natalie: No matter how strong someone can be, there is CLEAR disadvantage when there’s a height difference as a shorty. Should have got a double femur implant or something 🀦🏻‍♀️
@Ninja_Natalie: 🧩 πŸ”ΌπŸ§ Are you good at puzzles? #TheChallenge34
@LWCPodcast: Typical puzzle, everyone yelling and no one listening.... #TheChallenge34 #StirThePot
@CrownTheCaylin: CT is out here stating facts about the UK Team πŸ˜‚#TheChallenge34
@ChallengeMTV: How I would like to be transported everywhere from now on! #TheChallenge34  (GIF of Team UK moving along)
@ChallengeMTV: JK gonna retract that previous statement... #TheChallenge34  (GIF of their relic falling)
@ChallengeMTV: THAT is the real challenge here. #TheChallenge34  (GIF: Paulie - "We all don't kill each other while we're doing it")
@Brklynchica: Close game!  #TheChallenge34
@Ninja_Natalie: Zach’s form of team encouragement: #TheChallenge34
@angelababicz: Stan Twitter has more personality in their thumbs than some of these reality tv people have in their entire existence. Give them a show @MTV this I beg of you
@ChallengeMTV: No one: Scorpios:  #TheChallenge34  (GIF: Jordan - "Some people like to think I'm bossy")
- @kailah_casillas: @ChallengeMTV literally me
@ChallengeMTV: And I oop - #Thechallenge34  (GIF of U.S. team's relic falling)
@Ninja_Natalie: In #TheChallenge34 world: “YOU ARE TRASH” = “You got this teammate, keeping going!” 🧐
@DinaSpumoni: the relic keeps falling this is hilarious #TheChallenge34
@UnheardWords: This challenge is great honestly #TheChallenge34
@ChallengeMTV: That one kid at school with a purple belt during recess. #TheChallenge34  (GIF of Turbo karate kicking relic off platform)
@LostMarbles913: Even when they win they whine πŸ₯΄πŸ₯΄πŸ₯΄πŸ₯΄πŸ₯΄ #TheChallenge34 #WarOfTheWorlds2
@Ninja_Natalie: GO GET EM’ @turabicamkiran #TheChallenge34
@JOSHMBB19: How do we continue to win & still Riot 🀯🀷🏽‍♂️ #Thechallenge34
@jordan_wiseley: Man it sucks they didn’t show the full context of the situation. The main point here was that we were circled up trying to decide on the speaker. We had been trying to get everyone to vote for at least 7 kick attempts. #TheChallenge34 #WarOfTheWorlds2
@Raul56x: Nobody: The Relic:  #TheChallenge34
@ChallengeMTV: Mmmmm can't relate. πŸ’ #TheChallenge34 (GIF: Kam - "Must suck to be losers")
@Ninja_Natalie: Freaking @turabicamkiran slipping away from security πŸ˜‚ I think we need to hire more forces this week #TheChallenge34
@jordan_wiseley: @ZNichols15 wasn’t having none of our nonsense #TheChallenge34
@JOSHMBB19: This whole fight was a huge misunderstanding certain people tried to pull a fast one and pick a tribunal right on the spot to have control of the tribunal. We needed the whole team to make a vote but it ended in two great players attacking each other.  #TheChallenge34
@ChallengeMTV: When you see the other team falling apart and you didn't even have to do anything! #TheChallenge34  (GIF of Kyle laughing)
@ChallengeMTV: That is a possibility... #TheChallenge34  (GIF: Kyle on the Americans - "If they eliminate each other")

@CrownTheCaylin: Nobody : The Relic :  🀣🀣🀣 #TheChallenge34
@1LadySky2Blu: Bear just said Rogan’s name and when he says his name, it’s a problem #TheChallenge34
@dramabananna: Esther calling CT out #TheChallenge34
@Richboyhawkins1: I agree with Zach. CT's game going to be exposed either way so he might as well vote #TheChallenge34
@TheAllanAguirre: Some kids are good at English   Some kids are good at Math  Some kids are not good at either.   Team UK is the third kid and CT knows it. #TheChallenge34
@TheAllanAguirre: I totally get this Tori/Jordan dynamic. I’m a b*tch meanwhile my husband is the happy, bubbly, nice one. πŸ’€ #TheChallenge34
@TheAllanAguirre: Jordan is an asshole, but he also might be the best challenger ever statistically, so it's a real toss up when it comes to listening to him  #TheChallenge34
@TheAllanAguirre: The weirdest thing about Ninja flopping this season is she beat every female on War of the Worlds 1, eliminated Hunter, and finished a 50 mile final. Her strengths don't matter if her weaknesses hurt the team. #TheChallenge34
@TheAllanAguirre: Tori is a killer ride or die #TheChallenge34
@TheAllanAguirre: I understand the relics don't matter, but Turbo kicking the relic down AFTER Jordan put it back up was petty and rude. #TheChallenge34
@TheAllanAguirre: Rogan doesn't want to go into elimination.  If that makes him a total pussy, then Darrell is a huge one because he didn't see an elimination until the end his fourth season. He also won his first three seasons. Never go into elimination if you don't have to. #TheChallenge
@TheAllanAguirre: THE NEW CT???? #TheChallenge34
@StevenPlummer22: Turbo vs. Jordan πŸ‘€ #TheChallenge34
@StevenPlummer22: Turbo is NOT the person to mess with #TheChallenge34
@Zaiquiriii: @Rogan_OConnor or @stephen_bear . I CAN NOT HANDLE THIS. 😩😩 #TheChallenge34
@ChallengeMTV: The swing votes have picked their side -- for this vote at least. 😱 #TheChallenge34 (GIF: Bear - "Come on man!!!")
@ChallengeMTV: You have to be your own strongest ally. #TheChallenge34  (GIF: CT - "Make my decision based on what's best for me")
@ChallengeMTV: Now that would make things interesting. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ #TheChallenge34  (GIF: Bear to the American tribunal - "I might switch")
@RealityInternn: My reaction if someone told me “Just go into elimination, it won’t kill you” #TheChallenge34
@ChallengeMTV: Errrr. WHAT?! #TheChallenge34  (GIF of Tori)
@TheAllanAguirre: Jordan is a dickhead. That's a given, that's a fact, it's a truism,  whatever. It doesn't mean Turbo wasn't in the wrong for attempting to escalate it by putting his hands on Jordan. Attempting to sprint through security is not a good look. #TheChallenge34
@ChallengeMTV: Impress your girl, impress your country! #TheChallenge34  (GIF: Rogan to Dee - "I'll make you proud of me")
@ChallengeMTV: Maybe they can make amends! #TheChallenge34  (GIF: Turbo - "I'm not perfect")
@WestonBergmann: It wouldn’t be The Challenge without a club scene. I’m so here for it. #TheChallenge34
@JustJune8: Bear, every time leaving counsel... Is it really that hard to walk around the table to exit?! πŸ˜‚ #thechallenge #thechallenge34 #TheChallengeMTV
@ChallengeMTV: *Flashes back to last week* #TheChallenge34  (GIF: Cara to Tori - "It's done. That's s___'s done.")
@ChallengeMTV: Round 1: Make sure one party is open to squashing it! ✔️ #TheChallenge34  (GIF: Tori - "Round 2 here we go")
@ChallengeMTV: Time to bury the hatchet? #TheChallenge34  (GIF: Turbo to Zach on Jordan - "He has to say I'm sorry")
@Ninja_Natalie: The real MVP this week @tori_deal #TheChallenge34

So, the American domination continues in the actual challenges themselves, though it's what went down with Turbo and Jordan that should set the stage for a big rivalry over the rest of this season. And we saw Joss get shook by him being put into elimination, but he held it together in this season's hall brawl battle with a four-set win over Bear.


 'PULSE EXTRA 
COUNTDOWN TO FLORIBAMA SHORE 3

As we made mention of in a few posts on here since this Challenge season debuted, fairly soon we will start thinking about heading down to the Sunshine State through the magic of television - and it's especially true after seeing the year's first dusting of snow in the Rocky Mountains this week. The reason being, new seasons of MTV's Florida-based shows, Siesta Key and Floribama Shore, will soon have their third seasons. And on Thursday saw the start of the countdown for the ladder.
   We at DCBLOG will, of course, be devoting season-long coverage of Floribama coming up next month, and we can thank the aforementioned Gus and Mattie from earlier on to now give the latest iteration of the global MTV Shore community our extensive coverage here. And below, all the posts from the newly-expanded cast of Floribama from when the trailer & release date was dropped - and it will premiere Thursday of #DCBDay week, November 14th.

Now, we would typically say here to stay tuned for the second half of our weekly doubleheader of Pulse diaries, and in this case it's Ex On The Beach. But since this week's episode ended at a cliffhanger.... and by preference of how we prefer continuity around here, we'll be carrying the Pulse of this week's episode of Ex into our blog wave for next week's coverage, which will include the season finale. We'll have that all covered for you then.

Instead, this will free us us more time to bring you what we do best: the stories of ExtraTime... including one coming up in a bit as the man who narrowly escaped getting put into elimination gets to meet one of the biggest - and most notorious - people in the digital world right now. That and a lot more is ahead here.
