We hope you're enjoying your winter's week, and as the snow & the temps are falling wherever you are we hope both safe and warm. Both the year and decade in MTV Reality is now in its final twenty days (you'd probably pinch yourself reading this), and this week should be a dandy as we bring to a close The Challenge: War of the Worlds 2 while also turning things up a bit on Floribama Shore and Ex On The Beach: Peak of Love... our blog coverage of all of those comes your way on this Friday the 13th Weekend.
For this small update of sorts here this late night, as you loyal readers know our site maintains a never-ending commitment to excellence and quality here, and we want to make sure to put on the finest and most thorough blog content possible. And as it turns out, the mission of wanting to get out our most important post of this month is actually a much bigger task to us than we first thought when composing all the drafts for it.
It's with that in mind that, despite our first inklings about it and the social media advertising that it would be up by now, our Who Are These Newbies? introduction to the singles of Peak of Love will now come after this week's Pulse posts - it is still in the middle draft stages with still much to write. We want to make sure to cover every single detail on Adore, Daniel, La Demi, Allie, Ryan, Georgia and Callum since, after all, the average MTV viewer doesn't know that much about them the same way they know those who watch just the reality shows airing on just that channel.
It's always a tall task & a difficult post for yours truly to put together: lots of research, scouring the web for video, and writing a several paragraph's capsule on multiple cast members who are new to MTV fans - while also maintaining journalistic standards and exceptionally high levels this site has to getting it right, like any other news operation. We do this for every Challenge and now Ex On The Beach - and we've featured almost 150 people in this series, and when our post is complete, it'll be up then... we do need all the time we need here to perfect it.
As for what's to come during this week's blog wave, here's what's ahead...
● Tonight (as we talk to you on this Wednesday, Dec. 11th) marked the end of the two seasons in 2019 of The Challenge as War of the Worlds 2 came to a close with its $1 million final. As we noted last week, we know a lot of you don't subscribe to cable, satellite or even to a live streaming TV service, and with respect to them we won't spoil the finale on here right now. Our SocialPulse posts covering social media's reaction to the final act will be up this weekend, starting with Part 1 (a Backtracked edition) Friday at 6PM ET/3PM PT, and tonight's Part 2 will be up on Sunday. You all do have plenty of time now until then to get caught up.
● In between those two posts, the 'Pulse of Floribama Shore and Ex On The Beach will be up here for this week's episodes airing in less than 24 hours, as a Florida bromance may meet its end by perhaps the most explosive fight we've had in the Sunshine State, and the first Cut elimination of the winter goes down as another Ex arrives into the chalet. We hear there will be plenty of drama in both SPB and New Zealand.
● If there's time in between our two Challenge finale Pulse posts, ExtraTime will join one of this season's EOTB singles as she goes for love on a show that brought hilarity to the reality dating genre... if it's not posted on here this weekend, watch for it after our Newbies bit is posted early next week. And a story to keep an eye out for during this winter: the one Ex a lot of you are waiting to see invade the Peak also brings to focus a teenage pop star who, fifteen years ago, was on top of the pops... we'll be meeting her once Jemmye comes to New Zealand.
And it's not just here at DCBLOG that I'm getting to work hard to perfect my craft: on Thanksgiving night, I began posting short video blogs from my #DCVegas X trip earlier this fall. I spent some of my slot winnings from my Reno trip this summer to buy a gimbal and editing software, and I got to film four days of video in Las Vegas which, I hope, will be just as entertaining on the visual side as these DCBLOG posts are in the written form. The blog takes top priority, but I'll be back to editing the second wave of videos which'll be up during the pre-Christmas weekend next week.
So, that's what's ahead both here on DCBLOG and on my YouTube channel. While we have a minute, make sure to subscribe to this site by entering your email in the side form "Follow DCBLOG by Email" for desktop readers, the "Subscribe to DCBLOG" buttons for those with an RSS feed, or if you have Google and Blogger to add our site to your Reading List in the site dashboard... you'll often be the first about our posts before those on my social media networks. Be sure to join us Friday when we begin covering the final act of War of the Worlds 2, and talk to you then.
- I AM DC
