It is now officially the month of June, which means reality shows are everywhere in the TV landscape - broadcast networks, cable and streaming. And if you're lucky enough to have a subscription to Paramount+ in addition to the MTV channel itself, get set for a bevy of goodies to come... and Season 3 of The Challenge: All-Stars rolls along in Panama. 

Last time out came one moment that happens just about every season that will sure get a triggering kind of moment for everyone: a replacement making their entrance. After both an injury and a family emergency put Tina and Jemmye on the same flight back home to America with Laterrian on Week 3, the queen of the first generation of The Challenge came in... and Beth wasted no time making her presence known -- well actually, she quit in that first daily she was in over heights. That saw her go into elimination where she beat out Kendal... but that was an undercard to the biggest All-Stars arena battle yet: Jordan beating Darrell in a battle of champions.

Thanks in part to Beth's entry into this game it has sure been turned on its head... but that is miniscule compared to what's going down next for both the Stars and the game itself. On a personal level, there's the question of whether interpersonal relationships may give way to $500-grand -- and we've seen plenty of that in our first two seasons... and even she might have a say in one of those budding things going on. But the one sign every season that the game is about to get a bit more eye-opening: a midseason twist may help draw the lines for what half #2 will be like... and again, it's what happens there one Star might put a friend's game over theirs.

Just ahead, DCBLOG brings you the 'Pulse of Week 4 of The Challenge All-Stars... and could the MTV King be making his way to yet another different show? See you after the break.

@TheChallenge: These two just DONT. AGE. #TheChallengeAllStars3
@GamerVev: The format for the MTV version now really is 50% veterans (with 1 or 2 being someone that wasn’t on the last season) & 50% rookies that have never appeared πŸ₯΄πŸ₯΄ Then 2/4 of the 14-16 rookies will actually return for future seasons. The Challenge USA cast is better than The Challenge MTV cast and I see it remaining that way too if they continue!

@KellyAnneJudd: I’ve been getting a lot of opinions on how AS3 challenges have been based a lot more on #’s behind u than individual game or athletic ability. How do u feel? #AllStars3
@jaychallenge1: Veroncia telling yes to check in with @JustJem24 as he leaves ♥️ #TheChallengeAllStars3
@KellyAnneJudd: Though it’s never been my best game, & not the easiest to be in, I do enjoy watching it unfold. #ParamountPlus #TheChallengeAllStars #AllStars3

@TinaBarta: "@mich_dev: Tina is a gem πŸ’Ž and so generous. @TinaBarta, I didn’t get to mention how much we love your style. The jumpsuit from AS3, the red dress from the premiere party, just A+++. And the glowing skin and hair. Truly aspirational shit. Give us the Real Housewives of the Challenge now. " RT I have been pushing for something like this. “The Real OG World” so it is all inclusive. How OG’s juggle careers, homes, kids, jobs and being in Reality TV. Intimate look at how each of us navigate our own life’s challenges. @BunimMurray @paramountplus #TheChallengeAllStars3
@TinaBarta: "@JewelsLace21: REAL HOUSEWIVES OF MTV!" RT This is CUTE!!!!  I love it!  @BunimMurray @MTV Us OG’s can’t keep doing these crazy Challenges forever.  πŸ˜’. If you want to see me and some of my friends from The Challenge in your homes more, spin-off is the only way I will be able to give you more. #TheChallengeAllStars3
@TinaBarta: "@smcgue22: @TinaBarta Omg! Yesss let’s make this happen! I would watch this in a heart beat! #therealogworld" RT Spread the word!  @TheMarkLong.  Next thing we need is #therealogworld @BunimMurray It will be more inclusive and relatable with over the top drama you love to watch!
@TheChallenge: A combined 24 challenges later, and they've still got it! πŸ’ͺπŸ”₯ #TheChallengeAllStars3
@ChallengeFanOG: @TheRealNiaMoore with the most relatable line of the episode. We’ve all done dumb shit at one point or another, and none of us want those things to be our lasting legacy. Growth is the key. #TheChallengeAllStars3 @TheChallenge @WeWantOGs

While Beth targeting Jonna & MJ for their fling backfired in her eventually quitting once again and Wes taking down Yes while also protecting Brad in elimination, it was perhaps not the most memorable MTV moment of the first week of June 2022. And ahead for your Tuesday, we'll head down to New Orleans for a whole new take on the song that was at the top of the hit parade of the first Real World in the Big Easy. But we leave you with this Challenge/Siesta Key meet-up: Cory meeting up with a friend of the Florida super clique, Some Daily Joe just before he welcomes kid #3... see you then.
