Last we left covering the Paramount+ spinoff on here -- which was back on Christmas Eve Eve before a bout with pinkeye took me out of commission for a bit, the second half of All-Stars kicked off with the one sign that things are getting serious: TJ Lavin deciding to throw a twist at the players to start the season's second half. A scary challenge that combined heights and sea became too tough for the most beloved of the All-Stars on its two seasons to handle when Kendal got injured... and it led to just a men-only arena elimination that saw Latterian take down Tyler.
Now as we finally get to rejoin things in Mexico, the game is about to get into the heads of the remaining Stars here, and that includes two friends who got to share a moment comparing their hair but who now find themselves on opposite alliances that has divided the house. To think that this game is just another spinoff with the daily challenges being truncated a bit is not the case as the Stars tackle an adrenaline-pumping mission that will see them harness their own Mad Max. But if what we saw to begin this season in what happened with Ayanna helping out Leah after winning that first arena was something, then get that tissue box ready for a secret that proves that things are bigger than this show.
After the break, DCBLOG resumes our coverage of The Challenge: All-Stars with the Pulse of Week 7 of Season 2 that takes place on Christmas... and there's something else here too. Welcome on back...
► AS THEY SAW IT: "Save the Palace",
and Merry Christmas!
@ChallengeMTV: You can't say these presents aren't thoughtful. See what gifts the All Stars would get their @paramountplus family for the holidays! #TheChallengeAllStars2
@paramountplus: The Challenge: All Stars is back and better than ever! These legends are ready to win it all. Stream all new episodes of #TheChallengeAllStars2, every Thursday, exclusively on #ParamountPlus https://bit.ly/TheChallengeAllStarsTW
@TooChallenge: Now that Spies, Lies & Allies is over, which season in the 30s do you think is the best? #TheChallenge
- @AMikeBloomType: @TooChallenge Has to be War of the Worlds. #TheChallenge in the 30s has been an odd mishmash of ever-changing formats, head-scratching twists, bloated episodes, explosion-laden challenges, and uninspiring vets. WotW is the exception, and it’s the season that re-engaged me in the show
@TheAllanAguirre: I'm usually a Massive Hater towards popular moments, but I don't think the CT Backpack moment is one bit overrated. It's such a WTF moment that created a standard other moments try to live up to. There's also a lot of subtext that makes it even more important, but I digress.
@johnnybananas: Tonight we are entering the longest night of the year. The Solstice is a time of stillness and darkness that gives us time to rest, reflect, and awaken to a future bright beyond imagination. A time to celebrate a return to light and brighter days ahead Happy winter Solstice
@RealWorldMTV: It doesn't get more real than this. Stream the all-new episode of The #RealWorld Homecoming: Los Angeles now on @paramountplus!

@JonBrennan_com: “When it comes to being a reality tv star, there are no winners and losers…we all lose.” #TrueStory #RealWorldHomecomingLA @ISuttner @MTVBeth @RealWorldMTV @paramountplus @MTV @TamiRoman @GamerVev @TheMarkLong @NormanKorpi
@MTVBeth: Our Desert trip from 1993 looks much different than 2021. Have you watched #realworldhomecoming @paramountplus yet? @realworldmtv
@paulawalnutsMTV: Ok @netflix …well done. This a retired MTV “Real Worlder” saying Twenty Somethings is very refreshing. Nice work.
@bernacanbeldekk: At one point I thought we were on a dating show and solving dating dramas at the reunion who else @ChallengeMTV #TheChallengeReunion
@hughie_maughan: I'm low key upset that my elimination wasn't the one with tori and Amanda, as I could have been carried and got physical with one of the hot guys in the show @ChallengeMTV #thechallenge37
@TheNolanTwins: Aged to perfection Bottle with popping cork Cheers to 30 sis! Love & thank you all for the birthday love! Feeling so blessed lately xoxo

@Geminitwin123: The @RealWorldMTV Austin would obviously be a great choice 4 a Real World Homecoming season! @WestonBergmann, @imalacey, @NehemiahMTV, @MelindastolpMTV, Danny, Rachel & @Johannabotta would definitely make good television! I wonder if everyone would participate? It would be epic!

@JustJem24: I like most of the peopl in the king’s palace but.. as far as their alliance:
@KendalSheppard: Watching #thechallengeallstars2 with just the husband tonight.. the kids have zero desire since I'm not on.
@KendalSheppard: This music is everything!! Nothing can beat @tjlavin 's intro #TheChallengeAllStars2
@KendalSheppard: Love the bond the king's palace has. @ItsJazzyRey you better not be playing my partner @latwall !! #TheChallengeAllStars2
@aedri_: So why Does Kendal get to be Medically Disqualified and Jasmine stays and there only be a Male elimination? But Cohutta can’t have the same Respect? Man this ain’t right. #TheChallengeAllStars #TheChallengeAllStars2 @cohuttalee @case_coop @KendalSheppard
@KendalSheppard: Whoa MJ..! That's a little aggressive.. imma need you to back up off @NehemiahMTV #TheChallengeAllStars2
@KendalSheppard: @ayannasuperhero #TheChallengeAllStars2 (GIF: Nelly Fertado - "I'm Like a Bird")
@KendalSheppard: This is getting INTENSE!!! @NehemiahMTV I love your speech.❤ #TheChallengeAllStars2
@MTV_AMANDAG: Wait wtf why didn’t they make it just a guys elimination and give cohutta the girl who’s partner went home? Whackkkkkk
@MTV_AMANDAG: I can’t believe Brad and Darrell didn’t go tf off at the bar. Fuck thatttttt
@KendalSheppard: Congratulations @case_coop !! #TheChallengeAllStars2
@JustJem24: Y’all don’t understand the joy I have watching @jonnamtv play this season…
@KendalSheppard: Aww @cohuttalee I am so sorry, my friend. You are such an incredible player and person. #TheChallengeAllStars2
@KendalSheppard: So... I'm still hanging out in my hotel room- cause COVID- and I KNEW there was an elimination that night so I watched movie after movie til I heard the elevator doors open. Of course I wanted the scoop so I called both rooms. and was left speechless... #TheChallengeAllStars2
@KendalSheppard: When I talked to @cohuttalee he sounded so incredibly sad. He said wonderful things about @case_coop and how happy he was for her.. but I recognized the devastation because I felt it too.. 2 seasons in a row. #TheChallengeAllStars2
@JustJem24: We have to figure out a way to STOP letting pregnant women compete.. any suggestions? Oh wait, a god damn pregnancy test during our medical exam & then another one the DAY before we move into the challenge house. It’s truly wild how this keeps happening.
@matt_marcello: Imagine being done as dirty as Cohutta was!!! Wtf #TheChallengeAllStars
@SHOTOFYAGER: I woke up this AM still laughing about “worry about your costume bro.” #TheChallenge37 #TheChallenge
@ChallengeStats: Made an alliance chart of #TheChallengeAllStars2 The core group of the King's Palace consists of Melinda, Nehemiah, Teck and Laterrian, while 'The Other Side' of the house consists of all the remaining champs Trophy plus Jonna, Casey and Cohutta
@ayannasuperhero: "@kingalpchino: Save the palace, Save the palace AYEEEEE Do not shame me, i like the song #TheChallengeAllStars2" RT It kinda grows on u
@BBInColor2: Y'all really bothered by @NehemiahMTV, huh? The Kings Palace is my favorite alliance. I hope they celebrate every single win. Make the entire house uncomfortable with their goofy ass logic. #TheChallengeAllStars #TheChallengeAllStars2
@ChallengeMTV: The King's Palace might be on the chopping block if Jonna and MJ get their way... Catch a brand new episode #TheChallengeAllStars2 now streaming on @paramountplus!
@ChallengeMTV: All I want for Christmas is this monster truck.

@JonBrennan_com: Dang @cohuttalee got robbed. They always cheat the country boy. #askmehowiknow @ChallengeMTV @RealWorldMTV #TrueStory
@ayannasuperhero: First time hearing this today and ya know... this is kinda FIRE. Good stuff @latwall @TeckHolmes @NehemiahMTV @MelindastolpMTV #SaveThePalace #TheChallengeAllStars2 https://youtu.be/OVQzQwseTes via @YouTube
@TheAllanAguirre: The King's Palace is the Most Wrestling Faction Challenge Alliance ever. They got a theme song, gestures, and will do whatever as long as one of them wins. #TheChallengeAllStars2 #TheChallengeAllStars
@NehemiahMTV: I can’t believe y’all are really rocking with The Palace. It means so much. I have so much to say about this season, but I’ve said nothing at all. I appreciate everyone’s opinions, good and bad, and I’m happy this season has been entertaining. That was my main goal
@cohuttalee: One would think the folks over at @challengemtv or @tjlavin could at least roll a damn table out and let me arm wrestle one of those fellas for their partner… or both of em’. Anywho… Thanks for the love and support Instagram folks. I hope ya’ll have a Merry Christmas!!

As we told you here earlier in the fall Challenge cycle, Casey sorta spilled the beans about it... but it was made official in this episode that she was competing while being pregnant, and it was only she found out about it from who is now her husband, Kyle Toups, in that zoom call back in Texas, that forced her to withdraw and, just as it was for Kendal, also bring Cohutta on that flight home. But if there's one thing that can match $500,000, then it is the joy of being a parent and getting to say I do... and below, Casey posted an update in the beginning of this third & last trimester.
We have plenty to come here, as Episode 8 will be covered here ahead as yet another instance of some food stirs some drama in the All-Stars house. But before all that, you don't want to miss what we have in store for our first new ExtraTime story of 2022 featuring perhaps one of the most controversial figures we've ever featured here. And we'll leave you with this in three words: "Save the Palace." See you then.
