Happy Memorial Day to you from all of us... and we hope you are enjoying this Monday off as we honor those who have served and those who have kept us safe in this time. And as we turn the page to summer 2021, matters in the fifth major pro sport in this first half of this year are about to come at a climax once again as we at DCBLOG now bring you the back-end of The Challenge: All-Stars finale in Argentina.

Back on Friday night when we brought you part 1 of it on here, the field of twelve who made their way though a deep field made it to the start line of the $500,000 final challenge: Alton, Aneesa, Big Easy, Darrell, Derrick, Jemmye, Jisela, Jonna, KellyAnne, Mark, Ruthie and Yes. As in past finals on the regular show - something only two have been through, it's a demanding two-day affair with several checkpoints along the way on day 1, the players being partnered up, and all of them being pushed physically and mentally if they want to make that run at the cash, for which the winner gets all of it.

At the end of part 1, Derrick shockingly crashed out when the boat he & Jisela were on made a wrong turn away from shore which cost them advancement in the final, as everyone else hiked their way through the wilderness doing everything we're accustomed to when money is on the line. And as we return to South America, the race continues as the OG's battle to get over a hot pepper that they had before going on that hike in the woods, and where they must survive a night of sleeping in the cold before embarking on a race to the top that, due of the points system in place for this, means that the one who finishes first may not be hoisting the crown at days end.

After the break, it's the second season finale in Challenge Nation of the year, as we bring you the SocialPulse of Week 2 of The Challenge All-Stars finale. And thanks for spending part of your holiday with the blog... we're glad you've joined us.

As we restart matters here, the field of ten still in the hunt for the cash has Yes of and Challenge 2000 leading with 14 points, followed by 4x champ Darrell at 13, Jonna with 12 and Jemmye at 11. KellyAnne, Mark and Ruthie are tied for 5th at 8, followed in by Alton (7), Aneesa (6) and Big Easy (3)... but when the players commence the second day of the final, the points allocation of 5 for 1st and all the way down to 1 for 5th will double, and it may take for a miracle for Alton or Aneesa to take away the title from the lead pack -- and Easy is just lucky to be here. And off we go to Argentina...

BEFORE THE FINALE, and Bus Drivers Route's Flashbacks  
@ChallengeMTV: Me giving a heartfelt goodbye to the weekend Happy Monday #TheChallengeAllStars
@MTVNEWS: .@ChallengeMTV's @tjlavin is up for Best Host at tonight's #MTVAwards: Unscripted! In honor of his big night, we're throwing it back to 1997 when he spoke with us about what he hoped to be doing after he stopped biking. Don't miss the show TONIGHT at 9 PM ET on @MTV

@acenichols33: Whattttttttt in the backwards ass kayak is going onnnnnn?!!!!  #TheChallengeAllStars @DerrickMTV @JiselaDelgado I’m so sad!!!!!
@acenichols33: Allow me to reintroduce myself.. @tjlavin IS THE CHALLENGE. I said what I said.
@evethornhart: Hope to see @JiselaDelgado and @DerrickMTV back on #TheChallengeAllStars to kick ass once again. Can't believe there's only one episode left already. Thanks to the Godfather @TheMarkLong for getting the OGs back together. #ParamountPlus @paramountplus we want a season 2!
@amayasays: @TheMarkLong is not only the Godfather, the OGist of OGs, the GOAT, if you will... He is a truly genuine and kind soul and worked tirelessly to make #TheChallengeAllStars happen 
- @TheMarkLong:  @amayasays Thank you Amaya
@TheMarkLong: MTV updates this every week if folks want to know where they can listen to every song in the show in one spot. #TheChallengeAllStars @paramountplus  https://t.co/XFyc94N9gN?amp=1
@challengelove1: If you haven’t already, everyone should really find time today to listen to #ChallengeMania with @JiselaDelgado. She spilled allllll the tea in so much detail.  Every subject, boom boom boom she laid it alllll the way out. @DerrickMTV and @SHOTOFYAGER GREAT episode! Love her!
@shundawg: @JiselaDelgado ok so on #TheChallengeAllStars you provided us with competition, drama, hookup, commentary, and now on #challengemania you give us allll the tea. This is what we want! So happy to see you back on the show, you bring EVERYTHING us OG watchers want!
@SHOTOFYAGER: NEW PODCAST UP! @JiselaDelgado joins me & her Finals Rowing Mate @DerrickMTV for an eye-opening chat about her time on #TheChallengeAllStars. This is an episode you’re gonna wanna throw on ASAP!! http://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cha… #TheChallenge #WeWantOGs
@DerrickMTV: Want some really good Telenovela Stories from this season of the  #TheChallengeAllStars?? - Take a listen as @JiselaDelgado sits me and @SHOTOFYAGER down and feeds us a feast full of tea and stew! - NEW POD! http://ChallengeManiaPodcast.com  - @WeWantOGs @MTVAllStars @ChallengeMTV
@ChallengeFanOG: The @JiselaDelgado interview was great. Some more insight on the canoe leg of the Final, some Alton talk, some pre-show behind the scenes, and some comments about @KendalSheppard that surprised me. #ChallegeMania #TheChallengeAllStars @MTVAllStars @WeWantOGs
@TheMarkLong: Road Rules is NOT dead @paramountplus #RoadRules
@CohenBrian_: Wes and Theresa played such a good game only to be so badly foiled by the Exile twist, it’s so painful to watch. It’s such a shame Theresa could never win it all. She absolutely earned and deserved a title. She was right up there in this era. #BOTE2
@CohenBrian_: I take back what I said about Nany and Theresa’s feud heading into Double Agents. My lord did they DESPISE each other back in the day. #BOTE2
@CohenBrian_: Totally forgot Bananas taking a dive to have Leroy do his dirty work taking out Wes/Theresa. The vitriol Sarah got was at the time and remains the single most overblown and ludicrous thing in Challenge history. It was 100000% the right call, no questions asked #BOTE2
@CohenBrian_: For those that listened to the pod they know this. But here is the updated season ranking! We have a new # 1. Free Agents was simply *chef’s kiss*  Rankings: 1. Free Agents / 2. Rivals / 3. Rivals 2 / 4. Fresh Meat 2 / 5. Cutthroat / 6. BOTS / 7. BOTE   Currently, Battle of the Exes 2
@CohenBrian_: BOTE2 was pretty solid. But wasn’t a fan of the exile twist and obviously Diem/Knight stuff was very sad. Couldn’t have been happier for Sarah.  Rankings: 1 Free Agents / 2 Rivals / 3 Rivals 2 / 4 Fresh Meat 2 / 5 BOTE 2 / 6 Cutthroat / 7 BOTS / 8 BOTE   Next, Bloodlines
@CohenBrian_: "@cbbcharlie17: @CohenBrian_ Who has been your favorite challenger across these seasons? Feel like there are a lot of good options throughout these seasons" RT - By far the best storyline was the Laurel/Cara dynamic. / - Nany really surprised me physically / - It’s just so wild to see Bananas and CT being referred to as old and grandpa and still winning today.
@CohenBrian_: My expectations are very low the rest of the way but Tony’s debut episode in the Bloodlines premiere is one for the ages #Bloodlines
@CohenBrian_: Why can’t The Challenge All Stars at least drop the finale in a primetime spot rather than the middle of the night?
@TheMarkLong: Saw @tjlavin running and didn’t wanna be a quitter #TheChallengeAllStars @paramountplus
@actvstArchitect: I do not recommend hiking alone.... Unless you are in First Place. Final episode this week on @paramountplus #TheChallengeAllStars #challengemtv #mtvthechallenge @ChallengeMTV

@MTVChallengeLuv: I am Not ready for #TheChallengeAllStars to be over... best season in years! @paramountplus @mtv @TheMarkLong
@18challengefan: As an OG fan who has been very vocal for years about something like this happening, All Stars was everything I could’ve asked for. @BunimMurray & @TheMarkLong did an amazing job. Everything from the variety within the cast to the nostalgic flashback clips & music. A+ all around!
@Stacey00422425: #TheChallengeAllStars is the best season of the challenge I've seen in years! I yelled, cried, got hyped, just all around amazing. Loved all the players this season and can't wait for more. Only reason I got @paramountplus and worth every penny. Thank you @TheMarkLong
@TheMarkLong: "@thechristurk: I legit never want #TheChallengeAllStars to end! @TheMarkLong" RT Same @paramountplus

@SHOTOFYAGER: BUT except for that minor nitpick (I want to see top lady & top male paid, on every Challenge. Not just this), to me #TheChallengeAllStars was flawless. Congrats to @TheMarkLong for making it happen & for everyone who went & played. It was 9 weeks of PURE JOY. #ChallengeMania 
- @Dumbledore_BB: @SHOTOFYAGER @TheMarkLong I honestly can’t remember the last season of the Challenge I enjoyed from the beginning to the very end. It was so good.

@EricBanks: Who’s ready for a Patagonian Picnic? #THECHALLENGEALLSTARS @challengemtv FINAL EPISODE is now streaming on @paramountplus A lot of heavy hitters in this final!
@JustJem24: Crying over eating meat is so dramatic... 
@JustJem24: “I’ve cried more in the past 20 minutes  than I have cried in months.” This is an accurate statement...
@kbguerra1: To hear @jonnamtv say “I’m just a mom”  oh honey you are way more than just mom. You are a bright light for all of us to follow. #imnotcryingyourcrying #challengeallstars #TheChallengeAllStars
@jonbrennan_com: I just listened to #challengemaniapodcast with special guest @MTVBeth    such behind the scenes convo with @DerrickMTV & @SHOTOFYAGER  I had a great time when I was on.  Great podcast. #TrueStory #wewantogs #challengeallstars
@kpthiara: Respect to Yes for coming back after 20 years and winning the final at that. @jonnamtv just wow. Killed it. And finally thank you Godfather @TheMarkLong for giving us fans not just what we wanted, but needed. Put some respek on his name. #TheChallengeAllStars
@TheMarkLong: Join us in ten minutes for some LIVE TWEETING use the hashtag #TheChallengeAllStars 
@DosHig: I clearly knew i'd love #TheChallengeAllStars but this is by FAR the best season of the challenge in years.  The friendships, competitions & music. Nailed it Thanks @TheMarkLong for making this happen @DerrickMTV @jonnamtv @mtvrrdarrell  @MTVBeth @KendalSheppard @actvstArchitect
@KendalSheppard: "@MTVDailyRandom: Today’s daily random challenger is, Kendal Sheppard. Kendal debuted on Road Rules: Campus Crawl, in 2002. After that, she went on to compete on The Inferno, where she won. Kendal made her comeback on All Stars, instantly becoming a fan favorite. #TheChallenge @KendalSheppard" RT How fun! Thank you!!
@SHADEJHowell: But obviously for me the best part was finding a new admiration for my longtime Twitter bud @KendalSheppard watching her kick ass & overcome, representing a segment of people who rarely are represented. Thank you @TheMarkLong for giving THEM this opportunity #TheChallengeAllStars
@jordycrayy: Amazing season and  finale. However, we need a petition for #TheChallengeAllStars  season 2. @KendalSheppard deserves redemption. @ChallengeMTV
@debra_aquarius: It really sucks @KendalSheppard couldn't be there, but woot! At least @KellyAnneJudd and @jonnamtv tied for third place. These girls are my favorites!
@BriCorridan: If you came of age watching the Real World/Road Rules Challenges of the early 2000s, PLEASE do yourself a favor and watch #TheChallengeAllStars. It was perfect. The cast, the challenges, the soundtrack. Perfect. Perfect perfect. Watch it please. We need a Season 2!
@JustJem24: "@KristinPropst1: How come Fessy didn't get the same third degree from TJ that Jemmye is getting? #TheChallengeAllStars" RT Production knew how shook I was over eating the meat and sent his ass off there to get a reaction out of me.... I really think they thought I was gonna yell at him(which I highly considered)..
@JustJem24: Shoutout @PlanetRuthie for making sure I didn’t die on that mountain.. I was deathly ill(from eating the meat) & she took care of me while also motivating me to keep going. Crossing that finish line together was a beautiful moment.
- @MissArissa: @JustJem24 Ruthie is a great team player. Definitely gotta give credit where it is due
@TheMarkLong: Just watched the final episode of #TheChallengeAllStars  This season was F**KING great! #LIKE and #RETWEET if you guys want MORE (ie Season 2,3,4,5...) @paramountplus @ChallengeMTV @WeWantOGs
- @JustJem24: I’ve done a lot of dope things, but this season was pure magic. Thank you @TheMarkLong betting on your damn self!! May Mark’s journey with this season be a testament to all of us to chase our wildest dreams..
- @TrishelleC: @TheMarkLong So proud of everyone!!  Love you guys 
- @MissArissa: @TheMarkLong I’d definitely like to see this happen- it’s what is deserved!
- @MelindastolpMTV: @TheMarkLong Such a fun ride!! 
- @axdew: @paramountplus @ChallengeMTV @WeWantOGs  paramount y'all got any more of them All Stars seasons? Legit the best season of this show in YEARS. Bring on season 2  @TheMarkLong @JustJem24 @JiselaDelgado @KatieCooley26 @syrusmtv @TrishelleC @AneesaMTV @KellyAnneJudd @TeckHolmes
- @itssuaz917: @TheMarkLong This was a perfect season! My only gripe is having a winner for both genders. Other than that, fantastic season @TheMarkLong. And congrats to @actvstArchitect on the win!!! Come back and defend that crown!!
- @drobitusin: @TheMarkLong This season was perfect. Great cast! Mix of old school and new dailies and eliminations. I only wish it could’ve been longer! Give us more #TheChallengeAllStars @paramountplus @ChallengeMTV

@WestonBergmann: "@JiselaDelgado: @marissareality @WestonBergmann @SHOTOFYAGER I think he should listen to it, I’m sure he won’t be surprised. If anything I should be more his favorite now!" RT I listened to it. I loved it. I’m not surprised by any of the problematic & bullying behavior. And I do, in fact, love you even more than I did already.  Thank you for blowing the whistle on this real life villain. PS @DancingABC I strongly vote for this queen to grace #DWTS
@jaychallenge1: Jonna said Jemmye is the reason she made it to the end her political game got them both to the final... she said she never knows what she’s doing politically but Jemmye was like i got us and she was always in the know
@jaychallenge1: Omg Jonna said Nehemiah was gonna pick her or Jemmye for the final elimination and Jemmye said pick me over jonna so she can make the final
@KendalSheppard: Sitting down with the fam bam to watch the final episode of #THECHALLENGEALLSTARS .. I sure hope I like the winner!! Crossed fingersCrossed fingers Here's what the boys have to say...
@KendalSheppard: Me: who do you guys want to win??  5 yr old: @TheMarkLong and @KellyAnneJudd   8 yr old: Is @NehemiahMTV stilling it?? No? Okay then.. @EricBanks and @KellyAnneJudd
@KendalSheppard: 8 yr old: Carolina Reapers?? I bet they're all saying, "Why did I even DO this??!" I mean.. is it even worth it??    13 yr old: For 500K?? Yeah. Absolutely.  #THECHALLENGEALLSTARS
@KendalSheppard: @actvstArchitect speaks..  5 yr old: Wait- who is THAT?? #THECHALLENGEALLSTARS
@KendalSheppard: Alton: This is delicious   5 yr old: WHAT?! Why does he think that's DELICIOUS?!  #THECHALLENGEALLSTARS
@KendalSheppard: Everyone is throwing up and my husband can NOT stop laughing!  Jem looks sick.   5 yr old: THROW UP!! THROW UP!! THROW UP!!  #THECHALLENGEALLSTARS
@KellyAnneJudd: People keep asking how bad was the food or how hot were the Carolina reapers. Feel that is clear by our reactions, but I’ll try to explain in greater detail.. #TheChallengeAllStars #thefinal @paramountplus
@amba1210: Finished watching All Stars finale !! Wow what a season 
@KendalSheppard: TJ : You know what I think about quitters right??  My husband: Is TJ like this Dad or something? "I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed"...  #THECHALLENGEALLSTARS
@KendalSheppard: Alton speaks.  5 yr old: Wait- who's THAT?! Who ARE these people??!  #THECHALLENGEALLSTARS
@KendalSheppard: @actvstArchitect talking trash is the best thing ever!!  #THECHALLENGEALLSTARS
@KendalSheppard: Yes removes layers so as not to overheat.  8 yr old: Mom.. if they gave me a Popsicle.. I don't even think I'd eat it!  I'd just smear it all over me!!   5 yr old: I'd eat it.  #THECHALLENGEALLSTARS
@KendalSheppard: I'm SO FREAKING PROUD of these ladies!! Every. Single. One of them. Especially Queens @KellyAnneJudd And @jonnamtv !! #THECHALLENGEALLSTARS
@KendalSheppard: 8 yr old: Wait, I think I just saw Mom! Mom.. did you used to be on with @TheMarkLong??   5 yr old: Cooper.. Mark isn't even REAL.   #THECHALLENGEALLSTARS
@KendalSheppard: That concludes the comments from the mini peanut gallery! What an amazing season; The cast, the editing, the storytelling, the music, the vulnerability, the FUN..such an experience! I'm so grateful to have been a part of something this incredibly special. Nice work @BunimMurray
@KendalSheppard: This might be my favorite article yet.  #THECHALLENGEALLSTARS https://t.co/KIyWxQAFZ1?amp=1
@SpearsChico: One of the main reasons I love #TheChallengeAllStars is because I’m sentimental and nostalgic, and the end gave me all the feels.  Amazing and can’t wait for more…
@KellyAnneJudd: The peppers were hot. Actually about 1,198,700 SHU hotter than the hottest ghost pepper there is. #TheChallengeAllStars
@KellyAnneJudd: The food was horrific. Safe to say it was pounds of organ meat from one or multiple animals. Sad. There was so much fat in the intestines that I had to wipe the fat off of my teeth with a napkin multiple times in order to keep chewing. #TheChallengeAllStars
@KellyAnneJudd: Cutting the food into pill size pieces & trying to shoot it down didn’t work. Every bite u had to chew for SO long before u would be able to swallow. The men had the same amount as the women. And the longer u took to eat the colder & harder the food got. #TheChallengeAllStars
@KellyAnneJudd: I contribute my success in the eating challenge to pouring my back pack water into the cup, vomiting, and consistently and openly sharing my dissatisfaction.  Oh, and we didn’t get a toothbrush after. #TheChallengeAllStars
@KellyAnneJudd: Was it cold? Yes, it was cold in the middle of the sunny day. The sleeping bags were not insulated to hold heat, they gave the women heat resistant yoga pants, & the water in our camelbak froze. Mark didn’t fit & we had ice inside of the sleeping bag. #TheChallengeAllStars
@KellyAnneJudd: We had a small air pillow & a thin summer time blanket. How did I sleep like that? I didn’t! I am so impressed by all of the the ppl who did sleep & who really didn’t complain. I also wish they would have complained, I would have enjoyed that more. #TheChallengeAllStars
@KellyAnneJudd: Let’s keep it 100%: If there was only going to be one winner with no equalizers, then we shouldn’t have had separate days for guy and girl eliminations. Like who cares if @KendalSheppard was a threat to the women if the guys could still beat her up a mountain #TheChallengeAllStars
@TheMarkLong: "@PeteC_76: @TheMarkLong Who won? And how much?" RT The fans...and it was PRICELESS #TheChallengeAllStars 
@LP1822: When I watched the final of #TheChallengeAllStars I could stop laughin at @KellyAnneJudd comparing @mtvrrdarrell pain to period pains Face with tears of joy
@EricBanks: A wise man once said a picture is worth a 1,000 words. However no words needed here! I set out to prove something to myself, something that no one can seem to let go. An average everyday dude showing up to put in work amongst beasts! I may not win every battle but you'll remember the SOB that got ahold of you! I've waited 15 years to shut everyone up, and now maybe @mtv can find another clip (we know they won't). I finished this final for ME! For all the dudes that can still hustle and may not look like the chosen few! I'm the independent variable, I'm Big Easy! (with photo captions comparing him being medivac'd from Gauntlet 3 and finishing All Stars final) 
- @MissArissa: @EricBanks All. The. Feels. 
@MissArissa: Our wrap party next week is gonna be one for the books and remember I said it.  The lives are gonna be fire
@kendallongg: Sooooo 3 people on my fantasy team ranked in 1st and two in 3rd I never swapped my team around either. I’m proud of myself #TheChallengeAllStars
@GamerVev: I can’t get over how proud I am of Jonna She really did THAT!
@acenichols33: Jonna is the shit. Mark this tweet. Haha! Also, I cried thru the whole final. This was the challenge all of us OG fans needed. Thank you. Congrats to Yes and everyone who finished. Amazing. The nostalgia. The feels. #TheChallengeAllStars
@acenichols33: Dearest @KellyAnneJudd ... you should be so proud of yourself! I was so happy watching you throw up all night and making it up that mountain! Sooooo much props and happiness!
@SHOTOFYAGER: If you hold your ear up to #TheChallenge World at the moment...this is what you hear...
- @RealBmf1979: @SHOTOFYAGER After seeing the final, do we consider this on the level of other wins? In my opinion it should. Looked harder than some of the early one day finals. Could be interesting to see how this could change the Goat conversation down the road
- @azelin: @SHOTOFYAGER Shocking when you put people with personality on tv, people like it. Not a bunch of clout-seeking social media-lites.
@carterron73: @TheMarkLong thank you for not giving up on your vision! #theChallengeAllStars was amazing! And lived up to the current show. That final was great! Bravo! #WeWantOGs and thanks @DerrickMTV and @mtvrrdarrell for being so funny, so entertaining, can’t wait for season 2
@MTVBeth: Yes!Yes!Yes! #thechallengeallstars #eyelusionlashesbeverlyhills #bethstolarczyk #yesduffy @derrickmtv @GamerVev #mtv
@ChallengeFanOG: @tjlavin is a good sport...cause damn. Call me and #TheChallengeAllStars @ChallengeMTV @MTVAllStars @paramountplus @WeWantOGs
@TheAllanAguirre: Favorite part about the Challenge All Stars Final was Yes finding a walking stick quite literally less than 30 seconds into the final.  I don't know how everyone could watch Yes pass them up making use of a walking stick and thinking for some reason they were too good for one.
@_blureaper: The Challenge needs to give up that 1 winner thing. You’re not Big Brother/Survivor
@BadBobby99: #ChallengeAllStarsWhat an amazing season of @ChallengeMTV.  1. Some classic eliminations / 2. Soundtrack was ON POINT! / 3. Thank you @TheMarkLong  Now, I want #WeWantOGs seasons 2 and my request #partners I wanna see @DerrickMTV and @KendalSheppard  teamed up for the WIN!!!
@RichardKappler: The Challenge All Stars was a great reminder of why I've loved the show since it premiered in '98, years before I ever thought about working at MTV. Thanks to folks like @actvstArchitect @KellyAnneJudd @KendalSheppard @TheMarkLong for coming back all these years later.
@dc408dxnow: So, the #AllStars final rages on in Argentina, and the peppers that the players had before going on this leg of day 1 is really stinging in their mouths. You don’t want to tell me how bad having the Carolina reaper feels like. #DCChallenge
@dc408dxnow: As they munch down to begin this long weekend, we’re getting the inevitable sights of what you’d get when there’s plenty of food on offer. Plenty of throwing up and vomit - and Ruthie drops the bomb of having grown up in households like mine - a Filipino one. #DCChallenge
@dc408dxnow: Well, I see why they saved the finale to have this coincide with the start of the biggest summer ever: food is on offer here as it will be all over this country and the shelves have been stocked at my local grocers in anticipation for what now begins for some & everyone tomorrow.
@dc408dxnow: Well, what in the world am I looking at right now? The host is riding a horse to begin day 2 and I’m thinking that he’s about to go into a bull ring. And he tells the stars to go race to the top of the mountain as it’s all an individual one from here on in. #DCChallenge
@dc408dxnow: When Darrell won his titles and CVP, the finals were done on one day. Now these are 2-day affairs and most of these people haven’t gone through how tough these are in the modern game, as they think of what awaits on day 2 of how the race to the end will be like. #DCChallenge
@dc408dxnow: Easy knows what happened the last time he was in a final, and just finishing will be more of a moral victory for him even though he’s likely not get the money. And yes is changing clothes on the fly.
@dc408dxnow: As we had on War of the Worlds and Vendettas, we will have a solo winner of this, and the players are making their way up the hill. And if Yes had the lead to start this, then this should shut the door on matters as he finishes 1st in this part. #DCChallenge
@dc408dxnow: Yes is followed in by Darrell and Mark who are all Road Rules alums. Then in order: Alton, KellyAnne, Jonna, Ruthie and Jemmye. And plenty of flashbacks as ringing up the rear are Easy and Aneesa. #DCChallenge
@dc408dxnow: When I first watched this show avidly 21 years ago with its 2000 season, one who was in that RV on the cross-country tour was @actvstArchitect of that global Road Rules journey on the sea. Now, he’s $500k victorious as the ultimate All-Star in this All-Star season. #DCChallenge

@ChallengeMTV: Darrell is kicking it with Aneesa + Tori during this week’s official Challenge podcast discussing drama in the All-star house, an ice cold challenge,  and a spicy hot elimination. ๐ŸŒถ Listen now: https://podcasts.iheartradio.com/yTOgkfcH?sid=twitter
@ChallengeMTV: My future self when someone asks about the year 2020  #TheChallengeAllStars
@drewtappon: Bravo to everyone on @MTVAllStars   never have I been so proud of so many former cast members. And the behind the scenes team who made it all happen. It was a thrill ride the whole way through. #AgeAintNothingButANumber @MTVBeth @TheMarkLong @TrishelleC @BunimMurray @PizziJulie

@JustJem24: What a perfect ending to an amazing season. The crown ended up exactly where it belonged. @actvstArchitect 
- @v_cakes: @JustJem24 That was some crazy shit!!!  Loved seeing you channel that into motivation to do exactly the opposite!
@actvstArchitect: "@ChallengeFanOG: @mtvrrdarrell & @actvstArchitect have to be the most supportive male partners in the history of the Challenge. Always supportive regardless of partner, task, or position. #TheChallengeAllStars @ChallengeMTV @MTVAllStars @WeWantOGs @paramountplus" RT Thank you. The bar was low. Just sayin.

Wish I would’ve been there for your EPIC season, giddy & proud are understatements of how I felt abt your Win!

When I got the opportunity to catch The Challenge in some sort back in 2000 much before the modern era of this game - and me getting to watch and blog on this too, Yes was part of that Road Rules team following his trip around the globe on that Semester at Sea... and I remember watching that trek on that ship. So, it feels almost a full circle moment of sorts in getting to watch the Berkeley alum build that day 1 lead to eventually take down Mark, Ruthie, Darrell and everyone else to win that $500,000... and who would have thought that he would take down several champions in route to becoming THE All-Star of All-Stars. And you can safely say that this has been quite a season in Argentina.

Just to come as we segue way into summertime on here, we will send our congrats again to Cheyenne as she welcomes baby #2, and to two of MTV Reality's newest parents as Nilsa and the Sitch get to join that group of parents in this community, along with meeting Mr. Bretman. And we will leave you with probably the most memorable moment of the finale, and the one that will make TJ Lavin the subject of memes in Challenge Nation and beyond now until we see him again in the fall... we'll let you all make up your impressions of THAT outfit as for now, we wish you a safe and Happy Memorial Day.
