We bring you back on this first day of December as you are probably getting snuggled up on the first day of "cuffing season" and the start of summer down under in Australia and the Southern Hemisphere -- as we've just witnessed what went down on Spies, Lies & Allies. And if you are anxious for much more related to MTV's The Challenge, then you are counting down to when this week's episode of All-Stars Season 2 will go up on Paramount+.
Due to yours truly spending Thanksgiving with family and relatives and getting back into the groove of the DCBLOG beat after my Vegas trip, we're behind a little in our blog content. But last we left Mexico on here on Cyber Monday, it was elimination week in the All-Stars house as everyone except for power duo Derrick and Jodi were on edge and bracing for a trip to save their lives. But the usual drama that surrounds all of that would take a backseat to what took place in the Arena: after Ayanna won for the women, she helped her opponent Leah complete the task rather than give up. That, along with the one who lost for the men, Derek C., opening up about him losing his sister prior to coming here, was one of the most stirring moments we've ever seen on any Challenge ever.
It's hard to perhaps top what happened there in the first elimination of Season 2 of All-Stars, but as we return to Cancun are still buzzing about that night in the Arena. Just as it was the first time out, the pressures of being in this game for $500,000 is one that can get in the way of things... and that includes long-standing friendships and bad blood that goes back quite a bit in this game of throwbacks. Those things are on the mind of the Stars as they tackle not just a pair of puzzles on top of a pyramid, but also the scorching heat of a Mexican summer that can easily reach into the 90-degree range. And those who don't survive the vote will find themselves playing a game that is familiar if you have a paper and pencil with X's and O's, but done a bit differently.
Join us here after the break as we bring you the 'Pulse of Week 3 of The Challenge: All-Stars 2 before tonight's episode goes up soon, plus the Twitter buzz surrounding the debut of Real World Homecoming: Los Angeles and, of course, Thanksgiving. Thanks for wrapping your Wednesday with us...

@ChallengeMTV: Don't accept Tina's gifts in the Challenge house. #TheChallengeAllStars2
@ChallengeMTV: Ayanna's praying to the pyramid Gods in this week's challenge. Watch the newest episode of #TheChallengeAllStars2 on @paramountplus!
⭐ ⭐ ⭐
So, some braided hair of all things have put Ayanna and Sophia at odds after the former's stirring first elimination win, Tina has reclaimed her place in this Challenge world after many years away, and we see Jodi win her first-ever elimination while Ryan squandered an easy win at the hands of Cohutta. We can't wait to see what goes down in a few hours...
We got quite the week ahead on DCBLOG, and along with episode coverage coming up this weekend we have a treat awaiting also: if you watched the one event that begins the holiday season last week, one who started his journey playing a ukulele alongside a Bay Area rapper on MTV took his talents to one of America's biggest parades. We'll have more on Are You The One? alum Tai Verdes making his biggest splash yet riding a float at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade coming up during this week's posts... don't miss it. See you then...
